THE POETI\Y which g races these pages is a contribution from one of our Chicago readers, to whom we are g rateful for the favor.

* * * THE SPORTING season has opened and again the active junior, the appreciative senior and the frisky minim, glad to be freed from the in door cap­tivity, lightly bound over ·the fresh green in the warm snn. The several games of ba\)e ball that have been played not only havewronght salutary ef­fects on the participants themselves, bnt they have al o interested numbers of am nsed on-lookers and have even dra·wn the book-worms from their favorite haunts--the reading room and the stndy hall, to witness the classic(~) sport.

• • * DO YOU see that Junior with the ruddy cheeks

and countenance all lit up with the delights of vic­tory1 He is a hase-bailist, just after winning a hotly conte ted game. Follow him, if you will, to that group of his mates anrl watch his enthusiastic talk, his gesture imitative of every IHanner of base ball feats. flow they allla1igh and enjoy it! Fol-

low him again to the· st.ndy hall. See how he sinks into his chai r, quickly wipes the perspiration from his face and bravely re~ches for his Virgil, his his­tory or his geography. In a moment he is complete­ly absorbed in. study. N otice how quick his eye is and how his countenance beams with the intelli­gence of what he scans. Every move indicates a healthy, earnest, bright an.d happy student- and, so vigorous is his young tn ind, refreshed at times by the exhilarating sp01~ts i;i.to which he always thi·ows his whole being, that when at his desk he is capable of solid anrl quick work. An.d so are those who partake in manly spor ts generally.

,BOUIWONNAIS. ·

When winds blew wild and earth lookod 'bleak One enrly chill spring d:•y In quest of-well, of that I found, I sought ~ut Bourbonnais.

A <dPu<'led sky nrched high nbdve, And nil al;>ont in ple.nty lay The flearth of winter, but, Oh, yet

I turned me not a way,

FtH' peaceful homes ah<;Ut ·-were re:;re<l Tho' closed each coLt:tge door t.hat dn.y, Anil yet I felt there's wc::lcome here, And cheer in Bo•Hbonnais.

At1u as I gazed afar mHl netlr Where e'er my eager eyes would ~tr~ty I felt-God's special preseuce there, Aye, there, iu Bourbonnais.

Li·ke Beth'l'm town of ancient :fame Where Christ a helpless infant lay, Thus, nestles, in its humbleness, The village :Bombonnais.

What st·ar hath guided me, I mid, To hitherto wend my steps to-day ln quest of th'lt I hearu was best Acqui;·ed in B;urbonnais.

· What magic pow'r awoke the spetl . And urged me on when I would stay

In hesitance or aye or no To visit Bourbonnab?

Then · clasping close my daughter's baml I said, dear child, twixt work and ·pluy Tbou ·here ·enlist knowledge gain for soul And ·mind in Bourbonnais.

Dear village whereso e'er I roam, Or bow my 'Vheel of Fortune play, I mrist confess 1 fell in love With th~ that wild spring day.

I viewed uot marble Halls or wealth, Tho' · ·~nalth abounds without display And life is prized for its true wortb By those in Bourbonnais.

Oh, gold· 'tis true doth pm:chase much, And smooth o'er many an earthlyl WRy, But gvld of Love is the bright crown On thy brow Bourbonnais.

And better fa1· than w~:·tlth can buy Thou boldest in thine nrms to-day Since in tby lap Si'inplicit.y 1

ThPre nestle!", like a child at play.

Anfl, better far than g<•lil can buy, Religion in thy rea,lms holils swny And Christ an.:l Cli.ristly Ct·eerls are known And taught in Bourbonnais.

So I. who left. the city'~ mart In qnestion sb<oulcl I go or stn.y, l<'ound chnrm aft charm to glad my he::trt And eyes In Bourbonnais.

I saw there wen.lth of stately trees, Thn.t rear their hejgl)t aloft and sway As doth~' prairie winds compel; Ench leaf a tongue By Angel's rung With now a mn.tin now a lmell-: .,.

. Oh l .these the belfreys are that tell Of love anrl Xtian peaee that dwell Iu the grove of Br•nrbonnais. .

And co;~.y houses met my view, Like, gems diffusing rny on rny. That lencl an added charm to "Home Sweet Home" in R.>Ltrbonuai~.

Aud priestly priests I saw about, And College boys-a granrl dh·plny, And convent walls and <'onvent girls, The pride ofBourbonnai~.

"Town Hall," and "Church," and ''Post Offiuc," And lawyers that have much to s::~y;

·And doctors too, tho' health is good I'm told in Bourbonn~~is.

0 quaint, quiet-village that thou a.rt I have not lookeil my last on thee For with the robins I will come To join their Minstrelsy.

A cottage 'mi<'l thy cottages I'll seek me aft a hrief delay, And make me there a home of rest­Won't I? dear Bourbonnais.

And :mid ,tbe friends !.there. may meeb . Oh, !o:ve shall .have the tight of way, And p~ace shall crown my life at lnst

REv. MoDERATOR. ~1K. VrcE PRESIDENT, AND FEL· LOW MEMBERS:-

Of a ll the gifcs which have rained Jown from heaven upon man, there is scarct>ly one which bas be~n, .more subjected to abuse than)anguage. Iu~ended as it was by the Creator t.o edJO fot·t~ , mnn's praise, love and gr:<ti­tude t() hiR l\laker, and to communicate his thoughts tO

his 1ellow-man, it has been made the inl'trum.ent of hor­rible blasphemy against God, anti the ,vehicle of all that is font in the hem·t of m:<n. As I do not intend a m0 r9.l lecture, I will. pass over to a.norhet· species of abuse to which laugn:tge is subjected, viz; wrong selection, col·

. location, and pr0nunciation of words, which will afford liS amp!e opportunity to spend usefully and perhaps enjoyably the time 11 llottecl me.

To one who cireulutes nmong the ceaselessly talking mass of humanity which we ea.ll •·the world," or the more select but none-the-less talknti ve element called "college hoys" it becomes painfully evident that the l angua~e is murdered not only in the first or se(~om1

degrees, but in Hit ctegree~. On ·Our very campus, in our class rooms, in tbe very midst of this, our so called senate of letters, words have suffered violence anti Ci'y to heaven for vengeance; ct·y · to French, B~r­rows, Mathews, myselt, ann others who are willing to shoulder the task.-Now gentlemen I open up and all I ask is that you will keep your seats until I get through, and I hope tbnt you will not t>jcct me from your midst for the bold truths that I shall in the cour:se o£ my speech disclose. Now begins tbe first point:

In the choice of wor~s svme are t'astidious-select. ing only those words which -sounti learn~d anrl rtre of a rare and distinguished appearance; some are very in­judicic•US andcarelesstakiogthefirst word thatoccursto them, without ascertaining its teal or exact import; 80 long as it nea-rly expresses their meaning they are at no pains to fino anything b-et1,er; others are not fastidi­vus ol' reckleSI!, but E'ntirely ignorant in their choice. 'l'o the fit'St class of sinners belong·&:niu} of the m'bs( ie. ·

fiJed .writers· in the English language; author!< ·who make it a point to use Latin and Greek derivati V('!<, w(lrds of learned length, words that smack of big unahridged lexicons, words · that the common hero cannot digest without the medical a.pplicntion of several dictionaries.

Among these writers are somet.imes classed Archbishop Tillotson, Sir William Temple, the elegant Addison him­self, the gorgeously magnificent Sbafte~bury-and many more modern writers. The desire of verbal pomposity is fatal to a writer, especially nyoungone-Bewnre of this passion for it will lead you int.o a disastrous habit of never-ending redundancy and distasteful affectation.

You would never have caught Dean Swift, the simp. test writer ot our language, putting. down "Wh&.t con­glomer~tion of multifariou!> cogitations!"-be would simply baVb said ~·What a !-.ost of variE:'d thoughts!" Nor is it proper to say that school boys' em·s are "huge and la.rge"-"huge" includes "large'' by a large m11jority. When Bill Nye indignantly apostrophized the Parisian drug ~tore clerk and wound up with "Parley Voo, epluribus unum, sic semper go bragb l"-well might he add ''Do you understand that?" Snch a discharge was killing, e!<pecially for a clerk whose eArly education hnd been neglec~ed.

How many ot our otherwise level-beaded American guntlemen tj.nd ladies, (especially ladies, dudes and col­lege boy.s) manage to screw int.o their conversation French words (horribly mangled)just to appear bon-ton: or will employ terms peculiar to J0hn Bull, merely be· cause "it's English, you know." Such practice in oral or written conversation is contemptible, anrl a way outside the reahnH of good, tastf:. College' editors are sometimes subject to this malady. ~orne very bad cases nre known to exist within a radius of not more than one thousand miles from this spot. • To convince you of the existence, the nature and

frequency of the two other faults, viz: injudiciousness and ignorance in the selection of words, I neerl only send you, you yourselv~s, feliow members, to your own com. positions, such as you receive them back from your pro­fessors, all travelled over with the blu<:~ pencil of correc. ti9n. They fairly teem, almo~t every one, with gross im­proprieties. I will not attempt to exhaust all examples that have come-'und~r my notice. To say, for example, tbat the "Varieties_ of college cbaracters are as bountilul as locusts in Africa or grass-hoppers in K~ln~as" is man· ifestly wrong. "Bountiful" _ sbould be "plent.iful'' or "common" or "countless." Wbetuer this mistake pro­ceeds irom ignorance or carelessness critics bav e. not yet pron_ounced. To tnlk of millinery tactics rather sug­gests the idea of enormous bills than the smell of pow­der and shot. To give more examples .would wke too much time~_ so I will pass to the seconrl point which is the ~ileclion or a~nmgcmcnt of w~rds.

Une rlame anglaise me témoigunit sa surprise de ce qu'uue vi!le aux monum ents si précieux et qui attire taqt d.e no­bles vi siteurs ne fut pa.s mieux tenue que ceJa. Je lui repondis que e'était une permission du cieJ pour mi<·ux faire voir 1'11ccomplissement des proplléties concermmt la désolatio:~ qui doit peser Fur !11. ville coupable. Alor" elle trouva que tout était en bon ordre? . ..... N'est-ee pa's un moyen cle montrer au ~;si à l'univers qn'eHe es­pèce cle civi liz'ltion fxiste en dehvrs dn christian isme? Si par leur négligence à J érusali>m, l'inte11tion dt>s Turcs est de prouver clairement combien le Koran leS u rendus infP.rieurs aux ct.rétiens, ils r0ussissent à me-r_ veille ! D'un autre côté, comme les yeux rle la .Foi.ue voient en tout cela que la suite rl'une gran(,ie malédic­tion, les Turcs ne seraient que les instruments rle la P ro-vidence pour couv rir ù'ignomiuie la ville rebelle . . ... . .

.Et, pour ce qui est clc la Religion, serait-il dési rable que les musulmans fussfnt remplacés pa r quelqu'une des nations cllrétiet~n es de nos jours? Est-ce que lP.s rn en ée~S dPs nouv enux Î11ficl èles chez eux seraient une meilleure garantie ponr la Foi à ,Jérusalem que les agissements des fi ls du Croissnnt? J 'en cloute Pt je ne crois pas être le seu l.

Vu Je grand nomble d'allAnts et venants, il cst ,assez diffici le de trouver le v!·ni chiffre de la population de J érusalem. Cependant on croit que le nombre rèel des hahitants de la ville peut s'élevel' à une trentaine de mille.

Les 8000 clwéticns se parta.gent en plusi eurs groupes savoir: 3000 Grecs, 1500 Catholiqu es Romains et 600 , Arméniens. Le re~te se compose-de Jacobites, · rle Cep.b­tes, d'Abyssini ens et de Protestants qui fout petit-e mine. Ces derniers réussissent rn ieux là Qù l'esprit d'in­dépendance ou d'indifférence aime à renverser toute au­tOJ·ité. Les Catholiques ont un Patriarche, un Abbé mi­tré, des FraNciscains, des P ères ·Blancs, des Fl'ères dès Ecoles· Chr{>tienmes, des Sœurs de ·Sion, etc.

LE O.ERCLE FRANGAI.S. '

L'on y -est · tr~:.riche ou trê~-pauvre, ce qui explique la mine chétive du grand nombre; qui ù'.Lilleurs ·· tient peu à tlW.saurisér. " En·fai~ant rle belles installations, ils s'ex­posent à en être rlépouillés par ufl ·Pacha qui ; pour cela, )(:..Il" env.erra en pèlerinage à la Mec<pte!

P:lrlerai-je des constru~tions? D'abord les murs de la ville ont as;;ez bonne !lpp~rence. Ils vnt été réparés sons Sal-adin qni y employa les chrétiens · pauvres, dont personne n'avait payé la l'ançon· et qui, comme vous savez, tt·avHillèrent -sous le fozu t de leurs condueteurs. A ces murs· sont att..~chées Lrente quatre tours. nombre approximatif des années du Seigneur. JI y a au5si ·sept portes qui représentent bien les sept douleurs! Celle par laqt~elle eut lieu l'Entrée triomphante du Messie est toujours fermée et soigneusement gard?.e, car un dict­on musulman rapJiorte que "le jour ot:t cette port(' s'ou­vrit:a, si Jamais elle• s.'onvr~. E~era le jour du triomphe du Christianisme sut· le l\fahométisme." Quant aux édificès ile la ville en.>général, ce ne ·sont pour la plupart, au · m0irls apparemment-, que rles ruines restorées et qui en portent plus ou moins le cachet. c~s habitations sont en pierre et, pour nng1·and nombre,·surmontéesd'·une demi­coupole. Plu ~ieurs tours, clocherl', minnrets, etc, donnent i\ distance, une bt>lle apparence à la ville, mai!', d'après ce qui précède, clest. une -apparence 'tort trompeuse .... Certaines ruines sont encore assez imposantes. Celles de l'éwùle de Solomow S<'>nt <tes plus intét·essantes, mais ·la rle1<cription 'en serai:t un peu longue·· •·· En certains en­rlroit!', les rl éhris <.mt tellement ('ncombré la rue que le p11ssage·-actuel s'effectue à quinze pieds et plus, ·nième an· dessus du ni veau naturel.

La chapelle des Frères• est construite sur les r,Jines du palais d'Héro ie, et leut· maison est appuyée sur certains travaux des Croisés. L'on ne parle pas ~ des ·ruines du Temple de Solomon, puisque selon l'Ecriture, il n'(~n ·

rloit pas t•ester·"pierre sur pierre," ce qui s'est accompli à la let-t,re. La grand:e• pla-ce est encore là géoét•alement pavée, on le suppose, •Rvec des débris du Temple. L'em­placement de cet édifice est m~•intenant occupé, nu moi~s en partie,: parJ des mosqués et au tres· constructions. · On aimerait m4eux rn'y voir rien que la place vacante du monument de Solomon. Il serait trop long de parler en détail des r.uines multiples comme des noinhreux monuments de ,Jérusalem. Chacune ne ces choses demande une étude partiiculiêre, surtout pour ce qui regtude la Passion. C'est ainsi que :J'on visite avec inté~­

rêt le Cénade, le mont dP.s Oliviers, le Pont du Cédron, la Prison du Seignenr, la Colonne de la Flagell:ttion, la Plate,For.cme de r-.Ecce·Elomo, la Co-lonne de la Con­damnation, le Calvaire, la Pierre de l'Onction, la Cha­pelle de l'Invention· de la :Sainte Croix, et pardessus tout le St. Sépulcre.

Il est aussi três-inté"re!sant ·de connattre les <iérémo­Dies, le cllant et les usages en général suivis 4. l'église

du St. ljéptilcre, et même à la ville; mais, comme v ons voyez, il fauriraiL plus d'une correspondnncc pout· cela, surtout pour communiquer un peu ses impressions.

LE BIEN POUR LE l'riAL.

Deux voisins ' demeuraiènt près d'une cité; rien 11e Jcs sépnraient-que la couleur politique sons laquelle ils marchaient: un était libéral, l'autre consenatenr. Jean Dumas vivait dans l'abondance. L'hiver, on . enteudait le bruit du fléau qui batt..~it ·]es moissons; en été les oi­seaux fàisaient retentir le bocRge de leurs douces chan­sons. Le bruit dn inarteau î'ur l'enclume disait qve non loin de là demeurait un forgeron: il se nomait Cyprien Laroche; il eait pauvre, mais viv::lit heureusement du fruit de son labeur. :Mais cet.te vie paisible fut troublée dans une élection.

Dumas ~'lit à Lnroché, "mon candidat est meilleur que ·le tieri et je le prôu.verai ;" Tu ne le peux, répondit Laroche. Dumas, bondissaùt de colère, int~rrompt son adversaire: "Et je te dis aus~i que demain, lorsque viP.ndra le temps d'enregistrer ton vote, il faut que tu le fasses p<>ur mon candidat on je te chasserai de ·]a place." "Tu ne le feras pas," répliqua Laroche. Dumas insensible, fit ce qu'il avait dit. Laroche fut obligé de laisser sa place natale et s'en alhl au lac St. Jean, place qui était bien peu habitée. Puis· trente ans s'écoulèrent ~ans que les deux bommes se rencontrèrent. ·

Un jour, à la tombée de la nuit, un viellard aux cheveux blancs était assis à sa fenêtre, et fumait tranquillement; le vent agitait légèrement sa longue barbe qui était ·de la même couleur que ses cheveux; la fumée montait en petites colonnes d'argent et l'entourait comme d'un nua­ge d'encens. L'ameublement de la maison était d'une si'mplicité :sévère et les grands murs rl'avaient pour or­nement qu'un Crücifix, bien be11.u cependant. En hiver, le foyer était le centre où la famille, nombreuse comme les abeiJ.les dans u-ne ruche, se ras~emblait pour passer les longnes soirées. En été, Je jardin, plein de fleurs et de parfums, devenait le lieu de réunion aux heures de loi­sir. La mère très vieille, mais alerte encore, prenait soin du cellier; ses filles consaieQt Je linge blanc ou nouaie~t · lies· rlentelle<o en ch; ntant quelques chansonnette:l. Paul, fils d.u vieillard, travaillait à la forge. Aujourd'hui, ayant terminé sa journée un peu plus de bonne henre qu'à l'ordinaire il rentra pour se reposer; il ~wait les mains et le visage couverts de poùssière, mais il avait travaillé et ne s'en plaignait pas; le temps que Dieu donnait-on savait l'employer.

Ce soir là, avant que le soleil eù.t disparu derrière les montsgnes, on vit venir une voiture traînée par des che­vaux wa.igrC$l un vieillard, que le temps et le c'haerin

Mr. Joseph L egris was only 60 y ears old and was con­sidered a strong m:1.n by all who knew him. A compli- ' cated disease brought him to the grave after a short but · severe illness of fi vc weeks . . He had started into life comparativ ely poor but had acquired by his talents an immense fortune, which he now leaves to his wife and five living childrel,l, four boys and a girl.

Mr. Legris, will ever be ·remembered by his thousands of friends as having been fl. most genial, s0ber, peaceful

and honest man.

:i-Iis quaHties of heart and rnincl made him a favorite with all who !me\v him . He had nil the requisites which go to maj{e a goo<l christian, n,n honest citizen, a pedect fn,tber of fnmily. St. viateur's College is proud to rank hin1 s.mqng the first of its benefactors.

1t will he rem embered that it was chi efly tbroug h Mr. Leg ri s, timely and generous assistance that the founc'lers of this institu t ion were enabled to tn,ke the illi­tial steps to wards it!> erection and completion.

IN MEMORIAM.

To those wf1o remember Mr. Lorigan who remaine.i here a fe~ months as a seminn,rian in our midst in '86, the following from an exchange will be sadly interest­ing: "vVe regret to announce the death of a promising . young Wisconsin priest, the Rev. B. W. Lorigan, son of the Ron. BryanS. Lorigau, who C:ied atMRpleGrove, Wis., on the 22nd. Although only a short time attached to his pRrish, he has won the universal respect and goo<l will of the people, as was amply te~tif:ied by the large number of mourners present a t his obsequies. Fr. Lorigan was throughly educated at the Seminary of 0 . L. of A., Niagnt Falls, Suspension Bridge,. N. Y. and graduated with the ilighest honors of his class. He was onhined last December in the Cathedral of G reen Bay by the Rt. Rev. Bishoj) Katzer, The funeral services were held on the 26 ult. In him the parish has lost a de­voted priest and the church a devoted son,"

The Na tional game once more claims our attention and from the out- look a lively season can be ~xpect­ed.

The Shamrocks of "ye olden time" bave disbanded and now the boys should be on hand to reorganize a new team to uphold the honor of our College Dia­mond.

Mr. Sullivan after so many years of excellent play­ing behind the willo'w bas at last. retired from the ball field. Mr. Dore, first base-man of last year's Shamrocks also resign£-.

Frs. McGavick, Mahoney, Moysant and Perry in­dulged in a little base-ball th e otuer day and it looks as though they have not lost any of their skill in band­ling the sphere and bat.

On Tuesd ay last the Seniors organized their league for this season. Rev. E. L. Rivard C. S. V. was elected President of tbr. Association , Mr .. P. A. Sullivan Vice President, Thos. Normoyle Sec. and Treas.; H. P arker Official Scorer. Three nines were admitted to contest for the pennant. A comm ittee of three were appointed to draw 11p a schedule of games. The niles of the Na-

.. tiona! League were adopted. The pennant cot~sists of beautiful silk baunet·, whi le also each member .of the winning club will he presenterl a. go~d medal, Some sharp g'nHes can be JookP. <l for . ·

The Clippers were organized with Mt·. J. P. DQtJl as President, J a mes Condon Captain, Mart.in .1\Iuny Sec. and Geo. Donnelly Treas.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.

An interesting collection of letters are being pnblisheil in The C1·itic in <>nswer totbe question: "Does the wri­ter rea lly feel what be writes." This quest.i\)tl was sub­mittec! to a ll the leading authors of America and va­rious replies have been received. Many writers say point blank that an Author mu~t tcela!Jtlta.t be write>; in orrler to convey the same fee lir.g to his reacier; others feel the very opposite, while the majority contend that a writer must feel or have felt at ~ome time. the sentiments he expresses in order to impress others.

This hasgtowa out of an article by Mr. V\'alter Besant, which appeared in Atlanta, a new Erwlish l'tlrwazine

0 0 ' and in which be stropgly ins i ~ts tJ;,at it would be im-possible to stir others unless we were fii'st moveci Ollt'­

selves. He bases his assertion on the well known lintlS of Horace:

" Si Vis me fiere, dolendum e~t Primum ipsi tibi &.' ' It is necessary that the author who wishes hi::. readers to weep sbould first weep himself. Some· of the adverl:'ar ies have taken Diderot's theory "That an A0tor plAys better when not moved by any emotion." The controversy will be watched with great intere~t anci much of importance will be brought for· ward by both parties.

The China Decorator given entirely, to the theory and practice of this art is a very worthy paper and will be found useful to a ll who are interested in this mocie of beautifying. (China DecOt·~tor Pub. Co., 163 W. 13th. St. N.Y.)

The S wiss Oross (Hodges, N. Y.) a monthly periodi­cal is a useful and entertaining- mn.g<~zine devoted to scieptific subjects. It cannot be too highly recommend­ed to students and all wil:'hing to increase their stock of useful information.
