.~ tl'eu topic, we are forced to eollc<:.t o t t t' t houghts, ,o weigh om i(leas and ;;,elect tl1 ese, wh.idt are most ,,·e; ighty and apropriRte, for our present purpose. Iu ;o doing, we not on ly recall faetro, which we knew

, :,efore, h ut many new ideas and snggestio ns arise.

* * * W E MAY liE A BLE to speak intelligent ly on t sub;j ect, Olll' Yie1rs cou ceruiu ~ it may appear very ;t rong, and our reasoning mo,; t cogent; hu t 1ve .ever acquire th at wonderful power of r efleetion , :hat accnrrtte, tl1 at concise m anner of ex pression ~hi ch we ohtain front writing. In wl'iting, we are •nore careful to arrange onr ideas so that tl1e con­'Leetion Cll.ll he re.adily and clearly pere:.ei \·eel. Our ,,·ords undergo a more minute examinati on, none .11tt th e most worthy are seleeted. Shades of difference, 'a meaning and harmony, are soug ht.

TO AN EDUCATED MAN, skill in writing is indispensab.1 e. It is often necessary for him to pr·esent his views on paper, and if he has not acquired the r eqnisite perfection l tow embarrassing and profitless it will be to his reputation !

* * * FREQUENT WRITING, not only enables us to improve in composition- but while reading, we are iuclnced to critically examine the synthesis of the work in hand, and notice where its strength and weakness lie. By this means we prevent ourselves from committing like error s.

* * * If~NCE, we strongly urge more of the students

to 1vrite essays for our .JOU R NAL. \Ve are ever Teady to assist and encourage the student, and publish his article . Nearly all of our old students, that are to day prominent journalists, have received their first instrn ctiou, in the art, while at their "Alrna mater. "

* * * IT I S NOT NECESSARY, that you should write

mneh at a t ime; but what you do wri te, write it ,.vith care. D o not be afraid to revise your composi­tion, never :fear to cut out or to insert. Rem ember· that all t he g reat masters, in · writing, have labored most assidnously on this point. Think earnestly, over yom· su bj eet, before penning your ideas. If you · think faithfnl!y, other things being equal, you . are snre, in t illle, to write ,so that people will cheerfully recei1·e at'1d most willingly aud carefu lly read and retain your procl ud ion;; .

ANNIVERSARY POEM.

B Y Louis FAJ,LEY.

There scan·e in all thi s world so Ya.st and wid Cl , Exists a chu rch or nation t ha t asi•1 e From any other day throug hout the year, Has not one day which is to it m ost dear. One day upon which all cares to forg et, One day on which to do nought but to le t, The heart rejoice o'er all the blessings brought It by the past; to honor those who've sought To do it good; to honor ev en more Those of its members who ha ve gone b efore And shown tll e pathway t o be fo llowed now Through life, just as the guide wi10 throug h the snow Of Alpine heights the tra ve ller leads, and from Tl1e pitfalls warns him lest one prove his tomb. Tlto ugh we' re but fe w, we ioo llave our feast-day; And glad we are all, for u. time to lay Asicle our ca res and rej oice as but the y o ung Can , joyful more than bn.s been said or sung.

The progress we have m~.de iu thrm appears More manifest, a:1d gi:ves us courage anew Mc,re zealously our studies to pursue, To-day we pa use a li ttle whi le to think, To call hack a ll the memories which link Our hearts to those who've been here and who've gone And now, perhaps, pursue this earth upon Their various C::].llings or perhaps, above Are happy in their home of eternal love. To-day we pause, ani backward look along The rO>td of Time stretcbing far off among The shadows of the past, al}d m rtr ked by br:ght And happy anniversaries, whir.h like white Mile-sto:-:es fvllvw its comse and briug us back To past dreds whicll perhaps our mem'ries laek.'

A:\fERICA'~ ULTIMATUM.

BY PAUL 'WILSTACH -88.

In these dnys of political developments and va~t intellectunl growth of Arn ericn, we often ask ourseh~s

jn regnrding these wc;nder~, '''VIiat has the future in store for us?'' It is a weighty question; one wo rtb.v of our most thoughtful considerntion 1- a question of fnc·t nnd specuhtion,-a question of interest and instruction. · · In study ing 'America's pa:st there is exposeq to us a · reeorcl which appe>J.!s most eloquently to the love and end earment of her citi?.ens. An<l Oti their part, b~e it said, tha t in the hour of need their het'oisra has ne.~ er. . been wnnt ing; thonsanrls m1d thatisands have sacrifice<L their Jiv es that lheir country might live, ~nd iri ex- '

change f,ll' the crown of victory they have given .ber, sh e encirC'les their brow with the hero's laurel.

There are three ingredi ents which ent.er.· .into the civi li zn.tion of every nation. One i~ polit:cs, t.he Syie.nce . c.f government; nnotber is restheti cs ; the science oflh·e ' refined nrts, - music, painting, seulptnre, belles-1ett'res, and malhem ft tics; a third ingreclierit ls religion. That · nation which wi ll :llnftlgftmate these three principles is th e one t hat can be properly . term ed civilized. ·T'o :find·· out in how far Am erica bfts_ realized this nn'ion, wi l!'-be · to find out 'in how far she has attain~d her ultimatum. ,, For Brownson snys evm:y na tion has her en.cl,

lois de sagesse et de simpli cité. Aussi remarque-t-on entre la première et la seconde cré:lt ion, entre l'œuvre des six j ours et la formation de l'Eglise, une merveil­leuse analogie. Nous connaissons tou :> cet~e page à la fois simpl~ et sublim e qui commen~e nos SaintH Livres et où :Moïse nous montre l' uni vers sortant des mains du Créateur. En méditant quelque peu Cf· récit elu poète inspiré il est facile d'y reconnaître · avec le Docteur angélique trois époques tt comme trois œuvres di:;­tiuctes dans l'œ uvre générale de la création: la créa­tion elle-même, la diHtinction, l'ornem entation. Rappe­lez à votre esprit ce prem ier chapitre de la Genèse; vous vous en convaincrez facilement. Au commenee­ment Dieu crée le ciel e t la terre. ~a terre est ir,forme et. nue; tous les élémen ts sont '-!Onfundus :-u'cst le <·haos. Mais l'Esprit d e Dieu plane au-dessns de ce t abîme im­mense. L'œuvre de la distinction commence. Dieu ùis­tingue au premier jour la l11mière des ténèbres; au seeond, le firmament ou les eaux SUI)érieures des eaux inférieures; au troisième la terre d'avec les eaux, qui reçoivent le·nom de mer. Puis vienc n,nx trois clernier!:i j ou rs et dans un ordre parallèle l'œuvre cle l'ornNnenta­tion: ornementation succe.•sive des c ieux, de l'espace et de la terre elle-m ême dans la création successive aus­si des astres, d es oiseaux, des animaux et de l'homme.

Cette triple gradation de l'opérati on divine, ce triple travail de création de'S" distinction et d 'ornementation on le retrouve Pncore dans l'étalJl is.>e ment e t le déve­

loppement de l'Egli se. I

C'é tai~ ;l la suite du lamentable drame ùe l'Et1en. L'homme tombé et banni franchissait pour j;tmais les portes du céleste jardin. l{eport:tnt .alors sa pellsée sur

les l•iens qu'il avait perilus, il eentit pour la première fois son flme tourmentée d'une douleur grande comme In. mer. Lui le roi du momle visible Pt le cbef-d'œuvre du TrèH-Haut; lu1 à qui la nature entière sunriait et qui nageait tlans . le bonheur au sein de cet Eden, son sé­jour et son bercN1U; lui <:\ qui l'immortalité tendait les bras et qui d evait url jour voir et posséd er Dieu, il <i c­vrait d ésormais pleurer ct munrir; puis, comllle l'a si Lien chanté le poète:

l\Iesurant d ' un regm·d les fatales limites JI s'assit en pleurant aux portes interdite::;. ll entendit cle loin <ians le divin séjom L'harmonieux soup:r cle l'é ternel amour, Les ncceuts rlu bonheur, les saints cotH.: erts d~s a.nges (lui, dans le sein de Dieu, cé l6braicnt ses louange:;; Et s'urrachant tlu ciel dans un JH~nib le effl)rt, Son ce il avec e1froi retomba sur son sort..

Il ~e consola ccpendnnt, cnr il entrevit rhns le loin­tain des îtg-es tlll Libérateur· venu <lu ciel el lui ouvrant de nouveau les portes du bonhem. L n Seigneur en le proscrivant lui en avait fait !:1 promc~se. D -:s lors il y

eut une société qui plaça daJ1S ce Libérate or ptemiS sa foi, ses espérances et sa COtJ:lolation. L'humanité dé­sormais avait !P. rPgard tourné vers lui. Ü'E>st ainsi c{ije l'Eglise , œuvre d'amour et de miséricorde, commença avec l'homme au jour même de sa chù.te et cte sa con. damnation p·o ttr CO:Jsolct:' sou mn!beur et rép:U'et· se..3 ruines.

René F'ran çois Auguste, Vicomte de Chateaubriand, nnquit à Saint Malo, en Bré tagne, le 4 septembre, 1768, près rl'une demeu re où devait nattre , quatorze n.ns plus t.arrl, l'infortuné abbé de Lamennais. Il étn.it le dern ier d'une f11.m ille rle dix enfants et son pè re )tl dé.,tinait à la marine. Cependant comme il molltrait quelques !lisposi­tions pour la prê trise, il commenç·t jans ce b ut ccrtn.incs é tudes. Il fut d é tomné !le cette sain tf: vocation pnr. la lec­ture de certains ouvwge:> impit:>~ qn i laissèrent <l e fort· m:<uvn.ises irllpres~ i ons dan3 son cœ ur. Il devint méJan. coliqne ·à l'excès, Je désespoir s'ernpam de sonitme, et il était u n jour sur le point de se suicider lorsque la ren­contre rl'un serviteur l' en empêcha. Telle était la con­dition de cette intelligenc<~ suvérieurc au temps de sa jeunesse. J ean-J<1cques Rousseau avait empuisonné ce jeune cœ ur.

La Révolution survint, Jes nobles forent dispersés aux q na1 tre vents du ciel et Chateaub ri and quitta la F rance,découra.gé.

Now then as regards elocution in it~> relationshtp to eocjallife. I bold, that when properly U1lderstood and practiced, it is wort.hy of taking rank as one of the fine sris. Some may say it is preposterous to place elocution as a fine art. ·well what are fine arts? You will sa}\ tnusic1 vocal and ins ' rumen~~ l, the dramatic nrt, painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture etc. Wl1y '0\re these called line arts P No doubt you will answer: "We call them fine arts, because all of thew an~ arts tha t give bea•1ty and grn.ce to civili~ed life: or they are arts which combine in a higll dcgree1 the gratificat ion· of p'ure and refined taste, with the exercise of an en­ligiJteneci iu tellect and an exacted imagination." If this is a true definition ()f the fine arts, then I think that elocution as I have drfioed it may be ranked in the cate­gory of fine arts. Let us take the instance of !:>Orne s itnt)le, thoug h ueautiful poem, read aloud in the family OT social circle; and there, if it hn.s been rendered with p:tri ty of in tonll t iun, and all discrimination in emphasis, nud a ll the other elements requisite to convey the true m~aning anct expression, Jet me ask whether it is not one of t,bo~-e nr ts wb.idJ imparts a charm to soeial iuter­cour.;se, flint! iend a grnce to ordinary life-in a word, whether it is not one of t he tine nrts ?

When nil t he requisites tha t form a really goo<i reader or spc.'l kn:r are taken- in to Qonsideration, I ·think we m<"~y well wonder, r. ot so mucllthat the accomplishment is far to generally negleeted but that it does not fon, ;, with all who look upon ed uca tion in its true light and ro~nniu!!, t he d rawing out of · all our best faculties, an i mpot·tan t means is early-nny, in all ~tages of life as w ell as iu a ll clmses of society, for refining and elevat­ing the minci, for culti vating true sympathies, and for q uickening anrl cie ve i•Jping those habits of preception and a ppreeia.t.ion c>f the heautiful in all arts, which, when once acquired, generally endure throughout life, and are so precious in themselves, and so valuable to us and our fellow creatures.

The S cholastic iu a late issue has a very interesting article on the "Yellowstone Park and Surroundings." Bea ut iful in its descriptions of mountain and landscape it is well worthy the perusal of every reader. A dupli­cate by tbe au thor would be a treat to his r eaders.

If from these Hashes ( ?) au est imnte of the place is to be for med, tbere is left littlf: r oom for favorable impress­ions. In 011e of the locals ( prize) a sub- teacher is criti. ci zerl fur snubbing some of the gush noticed among the pupils. Of course the people of such a "dude-factory'' could no t brook the impudence of a sub-teacher. Oh no! Oholly w::mted blood .

Says tbe Kalamnoo Oollegelndex in a recent number; •'We cann ot dabble in poli t ics for the politics of the country do not sui t ns." And the writer gives some ; t reasons why he ca nnot enter t ile various parties before th e peopl e of this country. Continuing he adds : "As to religion we are orthodox, s lig htly ir. clined to be liberal bu t in no sense den_2minationa l in our ideas" . . . . "We do not ex pect to please a ll but in a voiding extremes we 'Ods

shall try to henefi t all a nd injnre none." To the polit-ic·d par t o f thi s announcement we take no exception. .. Co llege pa pers should riot be political organs. But in the ex posiLion of its reli g ious tenets the Index shows a y,

wa ver ing prir.c iple whieh if it means any tbir.g, means 'l , Ill.

that tbere is no rel igion at a ll behind it. Wheu there is s q uestion of p leasmg people by our religion it then

'! ! at­becomes a sham a nd like all shams soon appears in its ·.o1~s. t rue colors. When a school loses its religious. influences

~ i t loses its geatest help and its power to do good is 1

Jessene(l to a great extent. T o a want of such influencn in our schools and Colleges cuu he traced the innumer­able evi ls among the young and the loss of faith among the ol rler people of our country.
