ONCE IN A WHILE.

Once in a while, in this world so strange,

To lighten our sad regrets,

\>Ye may find a "heart that is true through change,"

A heart that never forgets.

But rare as a rose in December,

As a bird in an Artie clime,

Is a heart that can ever remember,

Through sorrow, and change, and time.

Once in a while we find a friend

That will cling through good and ill,

'Yhose friendship follows us e'en to the end,

Be it up or adown the hill.

But the heart so true and the love so tender,

And ft·iendship's fldthful smi le,

Whether we dwell in sadness or splendor,

·we find b ut once in a while.

are far away. The young judge of the future by the ' present and shape their actions accordingly. Time, they will find an implaec<tble judge, who, examining all offenders, gives to each one his) ust deserts. The dura­tion of man~s life is not long enough to afford him opportunity to lose any of its precious moments. He should be as avaricious in spend ing his moments as the miser of lo ing his dollars. Man has nobler objects to . aspire to than mere personal enjoy ment. He has wealthj honor and fume within his grasp, if he only exert ' · himself to attain them. We should take advice and profit by experience. The morning of life is the time to accustom ourselves to labor in the garden of industry, to plant rich seeds to blossom in manhood and bear fruit in old age. A principle to bear in mind is, to ne;rer be daunted by difficulties, how insurmontable soever they appear. If we se·t resolutely to work, in most cases om efforts will be crowned with success. lnd9stry and perseverance can accomplish almost eYerything; sloth, and waste of time, nothing. We should not remain inactive, delusively expecting to inherit a fortune , while other men , by their diligence are reaping a golden harvest, but begin immediately to amass the most we can by our own honest efforts. F ortune usually seeks 'no one but must be sought after with unremitting diligence and perseverance. The shores of fame are covered with the wrecks of men, who, by their brilliant talents were fitted to move in any sphere of life, yet, fated never to reach the goal, by not appreciating the real value of time. Others again with far inferior talents have succeeded in reaching a haven of safty by taking advant.<tge of every spare moment. If we possess .great talents, industry and time will improve them; if we have but moderate abili ties, the same means will often, to a great extent, supply their deficiency

T o become distinguished and honored, a person need not be a genius. History proves the contrary. Men, who have made themselves a name in history and whose influence has been felt in the ages, have been in many cases persons without extraordinary t.<tlents. But they ''·

Th' subject deserves the careful attention of all men, but especially the young, for they are, by inexperience, more likely to become negligent and indifferent about its employment. T o economize time is the first lesson that youth should be taught. The young have not the experience of their elders and therefore cannot be expected fully to ~ppreciate the many blessings pur­chased by a judicious use of tip:J.e. A young man does not anticipate how many draw-b:wks loss of time may ent.'lil upon him in after life. A person who spends his youth in idleness will find it most difficult in manhood, when he $)Omes to know the real value of time, to cut himself loose from many evil habits. These last generally become life partners. Youth does not at once perceive evil, but will sooner or later, and perhaps ala ! too late. T houghts of the present govern. Thoughts of the future

knew what benefits they coulu derive from a proper use , ·;.r,,. of time; hence their success and reputation. If man ~ seriously reflected on the many ad vantages derived from a proper use of time, and the evils al.tending its abuse, he would see it in a different light from that in ...

which he does. Time waits for no man. Homs and days once spent in idleness c:1n never be recovered. The duration of mau's life is short; by making a proper use however, of even this short period, he can achieve wonders, which, when accomplished, will astonish him self:

It would seem impossible for :1 ni1mber of insects to commenee a,t the bottom of the sea and build up islands; yet, s 11ch has been the case. Tl1e coral insect hr~ s filled whole se:ls with islands, li ttle by little, by persever:1nce and industry. Arri ving at t he age when time h::ts lefr its impress on om brow; when our he;Lcls, by long years, have assumed a snowy whiteness, then, we will look back with sorrow and regret on by gone days spent in id leness. Oh had t h'cy been proper ly employed, what a so lace might they not now prove, in the long dreary winter of our decline!

LONGFELLO W.

vVhat Amer ic::tn does not know Henry V\Tn,clsworth Longfellow? Many may not have been acq uainted with the 1:enowned professor of Harvard College, but Long­

. fe llow the poet- who does not know and love and esteem in his hc:>art as le poiJte des belles dntes.

.Methinks I see him still-venerable in ybars hut young in heart, sitting in tha.t old arm ehair given him l>y warm friends, n,nd made from the old chestnut t ree, nn<ler which the happy blacksmith, now also rest ing fi·om his labm·s in the quiet chu rchyn.rd, used " to swing bis hen.vy sledge, ·with measured ueat n,ncl slow" I see bim sitting and thinking of the clays of yore, when the "children's love" that came with the "grave Alice and laughing Allegra, and Ecl ith with golden ha ir, cli mb up into my turret o'er t he anus and back ofmy chnir."

Longfellow loved children, he also lovecl all mftn­k ind. Bow deeply he felt "that every hnman heart is human." F or him there was no slave-all men were free. His poems on slavery took r ise in his inmost heart. L~ngfe ll ow was neither a Byron nor a Shelley. T he

pass ion of the former nor the high so nnd ing ly r ic of t he latter, may not be found in his poems. vVordsworth excels him, perha]Js, in more genui ne conceptions of natnrc. Swinb nrnc smpasses him in sec ret il.ncl artistic nrr:mgcment of htngunge and in t he rythm of hi s deep :mel subli me t hougts. ·withal, Long fe ll ow hns acqnin~cl a popnlarity, that, no other poet ever obtn.ind, not on ly, in

) America, but in Englantl ancl wll ercvcr Eng lish is spoken.

J A-:1cl why? Because Longfellow nnclerstood d1e great nrt of at­c __ ~•cting people to hiJ11self, by descending tO the ir leve l.

' . ~1

His songs always found their echo in the hearts of the people: bec·mse they interpreted in pure and simple language, t he wishes, the longings, and t lle wants qf the '! people.

He. wns the poet of the household , just as Dickens wns its cherished story teller.·

But t here is another reason for t his well deserved popu lari ty. Longfell ow passed a great part of his lite tmveling in the old world. It was not mere curiosity that prompted him to visit the famous cities and towns ' of En rope. His lo ve for song may have led him, for t b

while, to the places, where ccntnries ago, the b:dlad and master-singers li ved, play ing the roll of troubadour; but this was not the aim, the object of his tmveling, be had sublimer aspirations.

W hen Longfellow had spent weeks and months in the chi ef libraries ofa country, he erosse<l its length an<l breadth, every ruin he met ha<~ an att raction; often­times he migbt be found in some borough, sitting in

· the midst of sim ple conn try pP.ople, listening to t heir stori es and legen ds. Old songs, old romRnces, and the manners and customs of the people were t hereby p:tint­ed in his memory. The story of old Cathedrals and castles, be prefere<l to lenrn fi·om the lips of aged men .

Longfellow learned the European languages nt their fountain source, and thi s gave him an unrivaled supe­riority over other English poets, as a translator. In­deecl, the translat ion's of Longfellow nre masterpei<:e8; no other poet hns snrpasscd him iu this respect.

Longfe llow did not translate poems tor renown, ll is aim was g ren.ter snd nobler. Millions of hi s countrymen, be kn ew, were emjgrn.nts, nnfl every year Europe wn.s sending t housand s of her children to the new world. These lnst cl icl not know the grc:'Lt American. He sang r, ·r t bcm their national soug~, thei r n.spiration•, their suffe r­ings. The sweetest remembr:tnees of t heir native hncl found an cello in hi s song;;, :mel his tr:mslatwns gave him an unenviable popularity.

The best poets hn,vc alwnys been the best t erwhers of t he people. Longf<? llow wns a great te::tchei·. His poems nre instrncti ve lessons. How nouh) hi s instruction to youth:

•'Benr, mid snow nncl ice, A banner with the strn.nge device, Excels i or !'~

Be:n thn.t bnnner on high, bnt listen to this wi~e counsel. " Try not the Pass!- . . ..

D:wk lowers the tempest overhead, The roaring tonent is deep :111d wide!"

T o the yonng and old, he proclaims : "Nothing useless i ·, low; K1eh thing in its lJlace is best, And what seems bnt ictle show Strcnghtens nnd supports the rest ."

O u R ExCHANGES.

The Philonu,tbean Review for Feb. is better than usmd. "Encnmpments" and '·Brookly11" are both in_ structi ve and interesting. The customary snrplus of society notes should be clispensecl with.

Tl1e Scholastic of last week is up to the st.'tndard. The l~:tper on the French Revolution to which we here­tofore referred in terms of praise, has been fini shed.

The Philosophian Review for Feb. does not conta in mu ch. How the Review can nss nme such a flattering name is a conundrum to us as it is to others.

The last issne of the Record contains a very good essay on Bob Ingersoll. It is certainly a scorching fire brand at the pope of Infidelity in the New vVorld. Its sentiments meet with our approbation.

Another excellent essay from the pen of E. H. 'Vood i the "Co-ed-ucation of the Sexes," which the writer regnrds as "an unmitiga ted humbug,-a lt1sus rwturce in the intellectual world-an 'i~m' the shallowest of this nge of 'isms'-an 'ism,' light as absnrd ity vainly nav­igaterl up stream, nnd destined to find its tomb in the delta. ofNatnre's cast-awny clothes." His opinions meet with onr cordial endorsement.

The Boston College Stylns cnme to hand for .Jan n­ary, as nef(t and HS bright as ever. "Our Schools'' ancl a tribnte to ·wenclell Philips, especially the htter, were beantifnl essays.

The Crescent for Feb. is almost the same as the former numbers. The sermon of Ml'. Jedkins conlcl have been consigned to the oblivion of the wnste b:1sket without grave fault.

The Occident of Kalamazoo is a neat little sheet. "Owen Meredith" is well written.

The last num ber of the Speculum has just reached us. "Success io life" an article contr.ibuted, is very able and full of sound thought.

The Academin.n is, ns us ual, a welcome visitor. Aunt Matilda writes a very interesting Jetter while "Home'' calls back many pleasant memories.

The Sentinel is constrmtly improving both in the number and in the quality of e8sn:rs it contains. We could not expect to find a better issne than the one now before us containing "Liberty'' " What is gone'' and "Prid e of JYianliness." · The Cm·son Index-our southern frienrl is now on

change. Annt Matilch's letter is quite interesting. The "Clnss Room" is an instructive and usefu l article fur college students.

The b st number of the Illini is nlmost entirely de­votee! to a p::tper read by Prof. Crawford, before the lllinois State Tcacbers' Associn.tion at Springfield, lnst December. The snbject Qf the essny suggested by Charles Francis Aclnm's attack upon the study of Greek qualified " I s Gr eek a Fetich'' is hrmclled in good sty !<'. Sound reasons for the restriction of the study of the language of a Homer and a Demosthenes, as well as the f:.1lse grounds upon which the advocates C>f the abolition of the snme stand, are generously and cleverly shown.

It is strange, however, that while the clnssics hav~ nn able defender in the person of Prof. Crawford; while he manifests himself as an ardent enthusiast in showing why Greek sl.toulrl be retained, that the Iiiad anrl the Odyssey should be nH much prized ns ever-be shonlcl devinte fi·om his path and sneer at the Chnrch, which stands forth nlonc, amicl 1 he f:dl of empires and the crash of nntions, as the preserv er of the few snrviving fragments of Grecian as well ns Roman literetture.

l-Ind it not been for the Catholic Church, its lenrned monks an rl priests, the trensures thn.t Prof. Crawford now so much appreciates, would not have been bis. But it has been ever thus. The world was ungmteful to Christ, ancl certainly, we can not expect any gmtitude from its votari es to be sho wn to the Church of Christ.

Innsbruck, Feb. 5 1884. My Dear Fr. Marsile;

Having recently macle a trip to Rome, and some of the celebrated sanctuaries of Italy, I herewith send you a rough description of my impres­sions while there.

A few d:tys before Christrms, I set out by the wild and daring Brenne1· Route for Italy.

After a few honrs traveling, we reached the celebra­brated city of Trent, where the world fam'ed Coun­cil was held. From the trnin , the church in whieb

ST. VIA'lEUR ' COLL1£GE tJOURNA L.

the council sat can be p lainly seen. Nothing of great interest strikes the traveler on entering Italy until we come to Bologna.

This old town i ' delightfully situated in a fertile plain at the base of the Apenines and is noted for its university .

Leaving here I passed through a beautiful country, and, after a few houi·s plea ant riding, the beautiful city .of Florence loomed up before me.

1t lies in a charming valley and is intersected by the Arno. The next city whic·h engaged my attention, on account of its natural beauty and historieal reminiscen­ces, was Arezzo. T his is the birthplace of the great He­neclictine G1J.ido AreUno the inventor of our pre~ent ~ystem of musical notation. It also claims the immortal P etrarch as one of its S<Jll~. A beautiful view of the town can be had from the train, and it eeems a fit abode for music and ...-erse. The T rnsimene lake here engngecl my attent.ion, telling its own historic story, interesting to the classical student on acc.ount of the victory whic.h Hannibal gained over the Consul Flaminius. One almost instinctively recognizes the scenery from the description vf Livy. The next sight that greeted my eye was the imposing summit of Soracte. T his is nlso nn interesting bnd-mark 1or the classical student as it is mentioned in Virgil's Aneid. After a loug rlny's journey one is all anxiety to see Rome. The eye is stt<ninecl to .c:~.tch the fir-"t glimpse of the eternal city. 'Vhen the immense dome of S t. Peter's becomes visible, then, nil is instnnt exitement; every one strives to get a look at this noble work; poli :-.e·tcss :.l.ll ·-1 eti:::].!tette are, for t.be m<)ment fo rgotten, :1ncl every one look out only for self.

·wb:tt thonghts rise before the mind on behold ing this stupendous work of the ages of Faith. ·would it WfH'e in my power to describe the feelings which most move the Catlwlic heart:

Here I 1cel tempted to make a comparison between the way we now enter Rome, aucl the way the pilgrim used to enter, before the age of steam n.ncl eleet ri ci:y. What a sight greeted hi:> eyes on beholding from the eminence befvre the Porta del Populo, the city of his heart's desire.

From there he saw St. Peter's towering above Rome in solemn majest.v, the castle uf St.. Angelo, in short, he saw Rom e in all its beanty, and, in that enchanting view, forgot all his fatigue. Now that om facilities for travel have increased, the first view of Rom e is marred.

Of course, the first visit made by all pilgrims, is to the tomb of the Apostles. The f)Xterior of StPeter's is grand and imposing. Appronched hy immense colona­des the effect is sublime and forms nn appropriate nd­junet to the lnrgest church in the worhl. In the centre of the Pi:Jzza, before the chnrch, is a large Egyptinn

Obelisk, and in letters of gold i written thereou 'Viucit Leo de tribu .Judn.." "The lion of the tribe of Jndah has conquered.'' Is not thi ' magnificent p ile over the tomb of the poor fisher of Gnlilee, the disciple of the meek and lowly J.:~azarene, on the ruins ;of Lenthendom an overwhelming triumph and victory?

Jf the exterior of St. Peter's makes sm:h an impres­sion on the beholder, wh~t effect does not the interior produce. On lifting the heavy curtain at the entrnnce, one finds himself overcome by the gr:mdem as well as by the symmetry of its proportion . I would willingly describe the interior were it in my power, but I leave the task to a more experienced pen th:m mine, aucl I will not attempt rnhly so arduous an undertaking.

By the fourth pillar, is a st:1tue of St. Peter in bronze Ee:tterl on a throne ofw.hite m:1.rble. This is a work of the 5th. century. The right foot of the statue is almost worn away by the kisses of the faithful. Over tlte statue is a mosaic portr:t.it of Pius I X pbcccl there in memory of his silver jnllilce as Pope. The confession of St. P eter is unrler the Dome. It is surrouuded by 8!) lamps which are continually burning. 1 I ere reposes the body of St. P eter.

The imprc~sion one recci ves here is, that it is the Catholic church nlone which could ereet such n building. It is a mouumeut to the faith n.nd generos ity of the Catholics of the mirlclle nges.

::\'ext to St. l>cter's, St. Paul's noble B:-~silica has the grcate:st c.bim to our ndmirntion. The pi·esent church IYas huilt OYer the ruins of t.he mnjestic building des­troyer! by fire iu the e::n-ly p:ll't of' this century. T ile plnns nml dimensions nrc s:1irl to be the s:1 me ns those of the originnl building. Ju the confession here, is the • sarcophngus of ~t. l'nul. The church also contains some very interesting mosaics fi·om the early ages. The monastery adjoining has_belonged to the Benedictines since 1 -14.~. Here nrc many nncient inscriptions from the cat:\Combs noel abo the celebrnted CJarlo...-inginm Bible from the !Jth. centnry. It is only by visiting Rome nnrl seeing its mngnificent churches, and inspecting the Museums thnt one can get a real idea of "·hat the Popes ha yc done for tlw nrts nud sciences. The impartial vis­itor to Home is always struck by this fnct.

The tomb nfPius lX i:s a simple marble slab on whiclJ is written in Lntin :-The rcmnins of Pius IX nrc herc-Pr:1y for him. This wns inscribed at his 0\\'11 re­qu est. -whnt majestic simplicity!

is surely a sign of the C.xtholicity of the Church, so many men of different nations, different characters and dispositions, all moved by one common faith , to show their love and devotion to the snccessor of St. P eter.

At length the holy Father appeared. Every one seem­ed moved by the simple granclenr of the Pope. H e was a ttired in a simple white cnssock and cincture and over the cassock, he wore t he E piscopal pectoral Cross. He appears very emaciated :mel no w011der. · He works harder than the lowest scnllion i.n his palace. From ea~·ly morn till late at night he allows himself no rest bnt is continuall.v engnged with his various duties. Then his table is furni shed like t hat of a poor laborer

But as to t he audience. The Holy Father spoke to eaeh one and askccl snch quest ions as he t hought appli­cable to the person he spoke to. When I was presented to him, be was told I was fi·om Innsbruck. "Ah !" said t he Holy Father in Latin , "The P rofessors at hmsbr nck ar e mo~t leamed and most excellent men; I have a high regard for Innsbruck." After a coversation of a few minutes I asked his Hol iness for his b lessing for all my acquaintances in which all my dear JHencls at Bourbon­nais are most surely included .

The Holy Father is, as I have srtid, very thin and tall. His face is, full of benignity and kindness and be makes all feel that he is t heir father. Protestants as well as Catholics say this.

In the aud ience with me was an English member of P:u-liament, a protestant. After the H olr Father had spoken to him for a few minutes in F rench, he moved away, when the Englishman cried out, ••But Holy Father, you iorgot t o bless me!" The Pope then said he would certainly bless him if he so desired, bnt that he thought he would attach no value t o it, being a protestant. 0! yes, "saicl the gentleman please bltss, not 011ly myself, b ut nll my fr iends!" It seemed as though be was fully convinced of the high d ignity of the Pope.

The appearance ofthe Holy Father when he gave the Apostoli c Benediction was most impressive : H is whole soul seem ed to be absorbed in prayer and he

. looked more like an inhabitant of the heavenly world {;: than a man. ·

In an other minu te he was gone and the vis it to Leo XIII wa . ., a thing of the past.

A visit to Rome would be incomplete without a visit to the Catacombs. A few words abo ut them and I have done.

A visit to the Catacombs is most interesting for· a . Cn,tholic, show:ng, ns they do by the cl iffere nt mou n­

me11ts there, the belief of onr early brethren in the faith. On t he walls the Sacraments are typified by different

scriptural Hllnsions. For instance the Holy Eucharist is typified by several persons seated at a table on which

is bread also a fish. Now it is well known that in Greek the word fish (ichthus) consists ofthe initial letters of •Jesus Christus. These Catacombs are perhaps the best !mown and most visited of any in Rome. The Cata­combs .of St. Calistus a.re very large and most lntererst­ing. I visited in company with many other strangers.

We wtre guided by Mgr. De Woal a celebrated Archeologist an(il one who has made the Catacombs a stnd y. His explanations of the various symbols were entertnining, and his remarks always to the point.

In one chapel, dedicated formerly to our Lady, there were some beautifu l mosaics well preserved. Before leav ing here t he Monsignor invi ted us to join with him in singing "0 Sanctissima." The effect was striking. The different gentlemen seen thro ugh the arches by the light ofthe candles they held in t heir hands, also, the echo of the hymn made a lasting impression on all present.

Of course it would be out of the question to leave Rome withont seeing the Colossenm. (It is simply im­mense, as the boys say.) The present Government has however sad ly desecrated it by turning it into a sort of stable. Conlrl the Goths or the Vandals have done any ­thing worse? How d iffe rent it was under the P opes. Then it was a sanctnary consecrated by the blood of so many 'nnrtyrs ..

A most interesting custom fi·om the middle ages is kept up at the cbnr·ch of- Ara Cceli, the church of the Franciscans. Dnring t he octave of Christmas little children preach before the crib ancl offer their feli cita­t iOn$ to t he Infant Savionr and ask Him for different g race:; for their friends. The idea is beautifu l and v ery attra.cti v e.

I had the pleasure of witnessing v ery in teresting ceremonies at the church of St. Andrea dell a. Valle.

Dnring the Octave of the Epiphany all the vp.riow; orders of religions eelebmte Mass in their different ri-teS at 9 o'clock At 10 o'clock the ori ental rites were cel­ebrated.

Greeks, Armenians, Syro-Chaldeans, Greek-Russians, Melchi te, ench, in their O"'n lang uage on different days. This vvns one of the most novel and interesting sights I witnessed while in Rome. Every clay there was a sermon in one of the cli ffercnt modern languages. jt was truly a Catholic or U ni versa.! festival.

T he longer onP- remains in Rome tbe less inclined is he to leave it. At lenst such was my c~se.

T here is something sad in the last v isit to St. Peter's. It is almost like leav ing home 11gain.

However, it is said, t hat whoever drinks of a certain foun tain in Rome before leav ing the city , is sure to return. This is an old tradition among the Romans. I drank of the waters, but it remains to be seen whether i t is ns efficac ious as t he good Romans beli eve.

ST. VIATEUR'S CADETS.

Attention is hereby called to the fac t that, these columns are always open to receive from each and every student, any communication suitable for publication. The Jou RNAL is "ofthe students, for the students," and should be first and last, "by the students." Amateur, as well as every day, practical j ournalism requires care and thought. Cultivate them. Courage! young: gentlemen.

The College having secured the necessary State license from Gov. Hamilton, the cadets made their first public parade on Washington's birthday. Military tactics will hereafter form a portion of the regular curriculum. Discipline in the ranks is conducive to discipline in school and these two lead to success at home and abroad. The cadets will doubtless enliven the dullness of the village by holiday parades and frequent

drills.
