T ilE l\IASSACRE OF ST. BARTHOLOMEW.

' ·Twixt truth and,crror there's this difference, Error is fntitfnl, truth is only one."

These w0rds rnny he applied to the different versions of the sad tnle of the mnssa('re of the II uguenots on St. Bartholomew' day, Aug, 24-1 572. Though the catl­ses that led to thi8 massacre and the det.<tils of the act itself have been thoroughly sifted and placed in thei; trne light, by impartial historians ; yet it forms a tlleme on which certain writers expend an immense ·amount of sympathetic rhetoric, in lauding the in1wcent Hugtte­nots and calumnil'lting their advei-saries. Even at this late day, it form one of those hackneyed charges, often t'Cpeatep, by uperficial scribblers and platform-orators,

in their attacks on religion. Facts however will show what kind of people the Huguenots were and also that t.he massacre was due to politic..'l.l resentment and private revenge rather than religion.

HISTORICAL FACTS.

Without entering into the question of religious tol­eration, it may be well to recall to mind, the age, in which this event took place and also, take a glance at the situation of Europe at t.hat day. The sixteenth century had not yet completed its alotted ·number of yenrs. Hnmau life was little regarded; the punishment of criminals was mercilessly severe; death by fire was a capitn l punishment all over Europe; by the common law of Enrope, heresy was a ctvil crime and of this law, princes were not slow to avail themselves, for special dishonest ends;

The object of this paper is not to defend the conduct of Francis I, Henry II or Charles IX. Undoubtedly, they were not good men. The two former, from mo­t ives of state policy persecuted the reformers ofFrance, while they assisted those of England and Germany. In E ngland, Germany, S'vec'len, Norway and _Switzer­land, where Luther's Reformation had made progress, the Catholics were the victims of most brutal violence, and were treated as a conqnered people. Massacres were the order of the dny. Euglish history gives us a grand idea of the toleration of the reformers. Cobbett, in one of his letters on the Reformntion, speaking of the number of Huguenots slain on St. Bartholomew's day says: "A number truly horriLl e to think of; but a number not half so great ~'ts that of those English Cntholics, whom good Qnecn Bess had even up to this time- the 14th. of her reign-c:1used to be ripped np, ra.cked till the bones came out of their sockets, or caused to be dis­patched, or to die, in prison or in exile; and this too, observe, not for rebellions, treasures, rol>beries and assassinations, like those of Coligni and his followers; l>ut simply for adhering to the religion oftheir fathers."

PlWTJ::STANT TESTIMOKY

Sueh was the state of affairs, wherever the reformers were in the ascenclency. France however was, at this time heartily and resolutely Catholic, ns Sismondi aml Guizot admit. Is it surprising then that Fmncc, with these events SOJX1lp:11Jlc, should view wilh nlann the

G4 ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL.

efforts of a party , who did not di sgnise their intention of subverting the existing order of things? That snch was the design of the reformers or Huguenot party, their actions clearly prov ecl. Had they conducted them­selvs quietly, they would never have drawn down upon themselves the anger of the kingdom. They began their deeds of violence clming the reign of Francis I. They lesecratcll sacred images; posted placard filled with

the most revolting blasphemi es, on the walls of Cathe­drals, describing the Pope as Ant ichrist; they pillnged churches, destroyed convents and trampled upon all that was sacred and holy. Even their own writers speak with honor of their condnct. Cobbett in his letters on the Reformation calls them " ba.nclitti" and explains the term thus: " that is robber and murderer; and the persons bearing it had been, by becoming the willing tools of every ambitious rebel, a greater sc-o nrge to France, than foreign war, pestilence and f~<mine united.'' Their outr11ges kindled the flames of civil war in France and cleecls of vi olence were committed by both pm·ties but as the above mentioned author declares "the conduct of the I-Iugnenots was frequently, not to say uniformly, cbaracte1izHl by plundering and by hypocrisy an(1 perfidy unknown to their enPmies." This st~ te of ·aft'airs continued during the reign of Henry II, but in the time. of Charles IX the I-Ingnenots became more powerful under their le:tders, the Prince of Cond6 and Admiral Coligni. Henceforth their treaclJ­crous conduct became more palpable. Conde received from Elizabeth of England 20,000 pounds and a quan­tity of military stores and moreo ver she opened English ports to receive pnzes CtLptmed from the French Cath olics anll suffered Chastillon, an agent of Conde to sell them as the property of Conda. The money thus receiv­ed was sent to the insurgents. (Lingard's His. of Eng, land Vol. VUI Page 69.)

llUGUENOT TREACHERY

The Hnguenots delivered over to the English the cities of Dieppe and Ha vre. This act of treason stirrer! up all France. That a p3.rty, comprising not a huncL redth p3.rt of the population , should under the mask o! religion carry their treason to such an extent and deliver over to "pe1jicle Albion" two sea ports, seemed incredible. Nevertheless there was the fact. Is it then surprising that the people of France fe lt the deepest hatred against so infttmous a race, who had already sold their country to the hcst of" their abi lity? But they did not stop here ; they mnst needs fill the cup of vio­lence to overflowing. During the siege of Orleans one Pn.ltrot a Huguenot in the P:\Y of Coligni, basely assass­inated the Duke vt Gnise. That Coligni was privy to this design, be himself admitted and Pal trot to the day of his death declared t hn.t Coligni was the instigato1·.

This foul deed seemed to have made Conde ashamed of his infamous associate and his followers. By his efforts a pacitication took place in 1563 and the king g ranted the Huguenots permission to practice their worship in one town in every bailiwick. If the Catlfo­lics of England at that t ime could have received a Eke f<wor from Elizabeth, they would have considered it a great boon. But alas! Elizabeth knew no such word ~s mercy. Did this satisfy the Huguenots? By no means , for t 1~ey were ever restless. About eight years after this peace, as the king was making a tonr of the king­dom , a plot was formed by Coligni to kill or seiz·c him. The king escaped and fled to Paris. Another civil war broke out, followed by another peace. During this pacification, Colignt, by the deepest dissimulation wormed hiwself into the favor of Charles IX and ac­quired an ascendeucy over the royal miricl, which in a manner made him master of the kingdom. Catherine de Medici, the Queen mother, a most ~1mbitious woman could ill bear this interference and she resolved to put an end to Coligni. .A bout this time Coligni was invited to Paris to be present at the marringe of the sister of Charles JX to the king of Navarre-afterwarcls th e fmnons Henry IV of France. On the 2:2nd. of Angnst Coligni was shot in the streets of Paris, but his wonnd wns not dangero us. This wn s ev idently a plot of Cn.ih­er ine. V\rhen she sn,w that the attempt was n, fitilurr, :tlnrmed by the threatening speeehPs of the H uguenotf', who hacl g:ttberecl aronncl their lencl er , she bndreconrsc> to the king, and nssistecl by the Dnke of G nise, son ot' him wllo was aFsnssinnterl by Pnltrot, and also l!y the. Duke of Anjou, she exhorted the king to adopt tile -plan of a genera.l mnssn cre. Charles reluctantly gave his consent ancl the dreadful order wns given.

PUNlSll~iENT

The Dnke of Gnise immecli:ttely proceclecl with his followers to the residence of Coligni m~d soon afLer hi s dead body was thrown from the window. The people of Paris mortally hatecl Coligni ancl hi s band, for they cou ld not forget t~at it w:1s he who ptit the English in posses5ion of Havre and Dieppc; that it was his acther­ent who slew the Duke of Guise, the hero, who had driven the English from Calais and who was slain a t the moment when be wns ende:tvoring to drive the English brought tbere by Coligni from Havre. " Besides this there were few of them (the Parisians) some one . , or other of whose relations bad not peris!Jed or suffered in some way or other from the plunderings OT butch­eries of these mnrnucling and murdering Calvinists, whose creed ta.ught them that good works were unavail­ing and tllat no deeds, however base or bloody, could bnr their way to salvat ion" Cobbett . Letter X.

ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL.

,,~; THE TRUE NUMBER

The massaere at Paris far exceeded the wishes of the court and orders were sent to the provinces to pr.ev_ent similar scenes. Such scenes however took place in seve1·al towns. The wbole number' of persons slain has been variously es:.t;imated. Some say 100 000; others,

. 10,000; but only'~~ names are given in the Huguenot Martyrology compiled in 1582. Probably if we double this number we shall not be far from the real amount as Lingard relates.

The massacre bas been graphically described by certain writex:s, but with certain side scenes, drawn from their own diseased imaginations- such for instance as t!J:e Duke of Guise kicking the dead body of Colig­ni- tbe king himself in the midst of the P axisian mob slaying .the Huguenots. Such assertions as these should be taken cum grano salis. They are unfounded. Guizot, goo<i authority. in this matter, doubts th(m and con­si~ler these question~ incapable of being solved.

It bfl. also been as~erted that the ma~sacre was an affair long planned. This questi•m has been settled by the publication of the secret eli, patches of Salviati the m1ncio at Pari~, to the Cardin11l ~ecretary of Rome. He wrote nn nccount of the ma~sacre the dny after the <>vent, but owing to the different rumors, current at Rome he wrote ag~in Sept. 2~nd. and confirmed his for­mm· st.'l.tcment ns tollows. ·•Time will show whether there be any trnt.h in all the other accounts which yon mn.y have rearl of the wounding and death of t.he n.d­mintl, thn.t differ from whn.t I wrote to yon. Th~ queen regent, grown jealous of him came to a resolution a few days before, and caused . an nrquebuse to be dis­charged at him without the knowledge of the king, but with the participation of the Duke of Anjon and of the Duche~ of Nemours, and of her son the Duke of Guise. Had he dierl ilr.medin.tely no one else would ha,ve per­ished. Bnt he did not die; and they begn.n to suspect some e,rreat evil: . wherefore clo~eting · themselves in con ultation with the king, they determined to throw shame nsid~ and cn.nse him to be assassinated together with others: a determination which wns carried out that very night."

This seems sa.tisf.·t.etory, if we consider the writer, the object fi·om which he wrote, the time and oppor­tunity which he po-"'Sessed of correcting any error that might have crept into his previous communication: and from this it follow that the general mnssncre was not int~nrled but grew out of the unexpected fhilure of the attempt a]r{'ady made on the life of the admiral.

SKIBBEREEN, IRELAND. April 27, '84.

Dear Jotll'nal: ince last I wrote you I have seen a

great deal of tliis country and have much to tell you . The more I know of this country, the more acquaint­ed I beC0me with its people, the brighter become the charms of which it can justly boast. This City of the East, where I spent the greater part of last week, is only a few miles from the Sea,. It is twice as large as Kankakee and noted for it good markets. Although very ancient yet its houses are built subst.'Ultially and done up in good style. A beautiful church stands in the square at the end of the main street, convenient to which is the residence of the Roman Catholic bishop Dr. Fitzgerald. A stranger need not be long a re ident here to become well known and the greatest desire is manifested bv all to know who he is and whence he - . came.

But now leL me tell you how on my arrival in this city, I had to encounter a government official who demanded my name and residence then proceeded to open and search my valise. It was six o'clock in the afternoon when the train arri vcd at the depot. As soon as the conductor, or, as he is called, the porter, unlocked the caJ:riage doors, with others I stepped on the platform and was p~oceeding on my way when a tall slim fellow with a cane in his hand met me at the gate. He asked my name and residence, which I at first refused to disclose. Then he seized my valise and attempted to open it, saying that he was an officer of " Her Majesty The Qneen'' and that his duty was to se..1.rch and exn. mine all baggage a.nd pn.rcels lest dynamite or other explosive materials might be concealed therein; and also to learn the name and the whereabouts of every traveller. Being informed that 1 was n.n American citizen and would not submit to this outrngeous examination he quickly let me go. I was informed by good authority that these officers frequently shoot down innocent men and that a very short time since they shot a young man in the neighborhood of Millstreet whose name was H. Hickey; that the mur­derers were not pnnished for this cruel deed but were enconraged to repe..<tt the same by n. premium from the government. The snme evening I met with an olcl acqun.intance who conveyed me to Good's Hotel which is the principal one in the town anrl thus having see n­red n. companion for the next dn.y I passed the night very h:1ppily in the old Town of Skibbereen.

AN IRISH LAKE.

Next morning we both set out to visit Lough Inc, a beautiful lake between the city and the ocean. On om way thither we often stopperl to view the rugged hills and monnt.'l.in tops that rose on either side of the road. We met many men, women, and boys heavily laden· retnming fi·om the sea shore with hampers and hns­kets of dried sea-gras:> which they say is the best

66 ST. VIATEUH.'S COLLEGEJ OURNAL.

man m e and without which their land woulrl yield but a poor harvest. They scatter this all over the ridges when the seed is sown and cover it with clay. Soon our attention was drawn from these good people by a high and steep mountain rising almost perpendicular into

. the air. lts craggy sides covered with the wild heath, where the eagle and vulture make their abode, looked charming in the distance. ·we drew near fair Lough Ine silently sitting at the feet of the mountain. This Lake with its surrounding scenery is surpassed only by the Lakes of Killarney and is about the same size as the lower lake of Killarney. It is surrounded by hills and gToves. The public walks shaded by trees afford a re~reshing retreat to the visitor. In the center of the Lake there is a beautiful I sland where an old castle stands to commemorate happier clays. A boatman row­ed us to the Island and we entered the castle and climed to the top. In the panorama before us my companion amongst other things pointed out to us the Shrine of St. Bridget at a distance. Then fair Lough Inc seemed to have lost all its charms, for we shouted to our boatman to row us back again and proceeded to the Shrine. It is convenient to the lake and not far from the Atlantic coast. The walls are standing but the roof is gone. Here within those walls where St. Bridget passed the greater number ol her happy days now grow tall grass and shrubs and wild flowers. A sil­very stream from springs in the mountain mnrmurs its monotone hymn close by the spot where the solitary Saint, it is said , often retired to pray . The scenery about this deserted Shrine is delightful. On the one. band are the rippling waters of Lough Ine sifting to the edge of the l!!J'e its golden sands. On the other is a towering ca.stle in the center of the lake like a lighthouse at sea warning the ma.Tiner of impending danger, then again green val­leys, pleasant shades and numerous groves. Before you is the blue Atlantic Ocean approaching and receding alternatively from tlle sllore. It sighs as the light breeze speeds on Lnt when the wind blows high, mighty waves m·e rolled to the shores making music through the lonely land. Who, born in a land full of charms like these and now an exile on some foreign shore,-the victim of Engli h• oppression can rejoice and be glad or refrain from indignation.

l<'IS!IEIUffiN.

Our next step was to t he Atlantic Coa t. N(>..ar the shore we saw a little thatclled cabin. Approaching it we met the owner an old fisherman, who saluted us by raising his hat and peaking some words in Irish which we were unable to undcrstnnd. In a moment: " pose ycr from Dublin or Cork," he wid, •Come, and J' ll show ye ome fHu.•s l <'nnght la t night. They are

below here in a basket tied to my boat. Ye know we must keep them in the water till Jude, {Jude was hi wif~'s name) is ready to take them to the market. F~r don't ye know she must have them alive in the mark t." For my part I found much difficulty in trying to keep serious at the old fisher:Jiu.n's invitation, as I tood looking at his odd make up. "Come in.," he said, "anu ha:ve a drink ol milk, spose "y e'd like a drink a.fter t-ravelling." We entered, saw Jude standing before a large mirror knotting under Iter chin the strings of u. certain kind of cap which the women in the country districts are accustom~d to wear. Slte was preparing to take the ca.ptured fishe:;, refered to a while ago, to market. Every thing within the little cabin appeared neat and clean, but bore evident signs of the humble lot of the poor fisherman. He now suspected us to be goverment spies as we were asking so many questions concerning the people of the locality. Learning bow­ever who we were he spoke very freely, complained very much of his position in life, of the hardships and poverty he ha,d to endure and all this he attributed to an unjust system of landlordism.

L'ARBRE ET L'OISEAU.

Oh ! le bel arbre en fleurs! C'est nn prunier tout blanc, comme un globe d'Ivoire. Voyez : chaque corolle aux plus pures couleurs Est un calice plein de célestes liqueurs, Otll'insecte soyeux en bourdonnant vient boire.

L'arbre a pris ses atours: Parure de printemps, robe de fiancée, Couronne d'émeraude, écharpe de velounl. n est ainsi plus beau que l'ange des amours, Sous ces vo.lles si purs, ces perles de rosée.

Quand un soume emba.u!ilé Touche ce blaue bouquet, o\ll'amour a son slllge, Un nuage d'encens monte au ciel enflammé; Et sur le sol s'épand-lit frais et parfum&-

~ Une pluie odorante ou des tlocons de neige.

Quelle fête du del Dans ses palais liottants, aux tentures vennellles 1 Quels enivrants festins! Vrai banquet éternel, Ob tous sont conviés à goûter le doux miel : Mouches et papillons, joyeux essaims d'abeilles.

Dans ces rameaux mouvants, Depute l'aube on entend qu' incessante harmonie, Musiciens ailés, doux poëtes rêvants. C'est un luth suspendu qui chante avec les vents, Suave comme un son des harpes d'Ionie!

Tendrement abrité, Au sein des chastes lieurs, comme en un sanctuaire, Un oiseau, merveilleux de grâce et de beauté, Murmure des accents pleins de suavité, Qui montent de son nid ainsi qu'une prière ....

Que n'al-je comme lu! Un paisible abri, loin des fanges de la terre 1 Un doux nid de colombe, otll'flme humaine fuit Les orages du monde et son éternel bruit. S'entoure pour chanter de paix et de mystère! ....

UN NOM

Un nom rappelle toute une histoire, les traditions vénérées d'une fumille. Ce doit être une chose sainte, aacrée pour chacun de nous.

Comme le nom que nous a légué notre père doit nous être cher l Il nous l'a transmis, sans tache, tel qu'ille reçut de son père. C'est le nom des braves Normands, des catholiques Bretons, des hérorques Vendéens, les noms les plus purs des fils de la noble France.

Rougirions-nous de notre origine? La France n'a-t­elle pas rempli le monde de sa gloire. C'est par elle que se sont accompli toutes les grandes choses: Gesta Dei per Francos!

Européen et Franc sontsynonimes parmi les Asiatiques. Notre titre de Français seul devrait suffire pour nous gagner l'estime du peuple Américain. N'est-ce pas a l'ombre ,du drapeau de la France qu'est née notre puissante République?

Nos pères descendaient d'honorables familles, souvent des premières familles .françaises, c'est ce qui a fait dire à l'illustre secrétaire d'état, Seward, que nous étions un peuple de gentilshommes .

Nos pères étaient eux-mêmes des héros. Ils ne l aissè­rent pas leur patrie pour des motifs sordides, ni furent. ils poussés à le faire par la persécution et la misère. Ils vinrent ici pour obéir aux sentiments les plus purs de la religion et du patriotisme. C'était pour agrandir le royaume du Christ et celui de la France. Aussi ils plantaient toujours la croix à côté de l'étendard des Lys, et ils ne laissèrent pas un coin de ce continent inexploré. Ce sont eux qui ont découvert ses lacs, ses rivières, ses montagnes et leurs noms même témoignent encore de l'énergie et de l'héroïsme de nos aïeux.

Comment se fhit-il que tant de nos compatriotes émigrés changent leurs noms? Pourquoi préfèrent-ils à

leurs noms français un nom anglais, le nom de nos ennemis héréditaires, de ceux qui nous ont dépouillés du fruit des découvertes de nos pères et qui nous au­raient enlevé notre foi et notre langue, s'ils l'avaient pu? Pourquoi agit-on ainsi? Est-ce par lâcheté ou par ignorance? Il n'y a que le fils d'un traître ou d'un pendu à qui il soit permis de changer son nom. Celui

qui le fait délibérément s'achemine vers la honte et l'apostasie. Qui renie son nom est bien prêt de renier sa foi.

Qu'on se garde donc contre cette manie de vouloir tout angliciser. Respectez 4îe nom qu e vous portez et ne permettez à aucun étranger de le défigurer. Votre nom c'est un monum ent élevé:\ la gloire de vos pères, qui est destiné à les faire revivre de génération en gé­nération. Pas une lettre n'en doit être r etranchée.

On se laisse éblouir par les richesses de ses maîtres. On admire leur aisance ; on veut leur r essembler; on voudrait leur emprunter tout, jusqu'à leur nom et leur langage. Depuis quand la fortune l'emporte-t-elle sur l'honneul'? Quel abaissement du sens moral !

Vous, élèves Canadiens-Français, qui connaissez votre h istoire, donnez l'exemple à ceux qui n'ont pas pu jouir des mêmes avantages que vous. Soyez scrupuleux . sur la prononciation et l'orthographe de votre nom. Ne souffrez jamais qu'on le traduise clans un idiome étran­ger. F aites connaître leur erreur à ceux qni se trompent . sons ce rapport, quand l'occasion s'en présentera. Qu'on reconnaisse ce que vous êtes par votre nom au moins, si vous avez p ~rJn vo tre htngue, comme il y en a parmi vous.

Quand on vous interrogera au sujet de votre natio­nalité, soyez fters de vous dire fi'ançais. Vous êtes nés ici: vous êtes Américains, sans cesser d' être F rançais. Américains par votre naissance, mais Canadiens Frnnc;ais par le sang, par la foi, par le nom !

LE BONHEUR ( CONCLUSION.)

Mesdames ct Messieurs,

Lu a.

Vous le voyez nous sommes à. la reehcrchc du bonheur. Mais qn'est-ce donc que le bonheur? Le bon­heur, c'est un état de jouissance pleine ct contiuue, c'est le repos de l'être dans l'entière et inépuisable satisfac­tion de t outes ses ftc ultés. Donc cet ol>j et là seul capa­ble de remplir les immensités d n cœur humain méri te véritablement le nom de bonheur.

Ceux qui m'ont précé<i P dans la recherche que nous ihisons ont ou vert trois v oies propres à co nd ni re au bonheur : le pouvoir, les richesses et les sc:ieuces. Or la science peut-elle pleinement satisf,tire l'intelligence, cet­te étincelle de la Divinité? Je réponds: non! E lle pour­ra bien reculer les barrières de l'inconn u et du m:ystère, mais les franchi r, jamais! L'Alchimiste dans son creuset embrasé pourra bien <l écomposer toute la n:1ture, comp­t er les éléments d'un corps, mais ces éléments eux­mêmes, qne sont-ils? Il l'ignore. Et la scicuce an li eu (le les simplifier n' a fait que les mult ipli er. Ah! c'est Ll, snr ce mystère insonchblc de l'essence intime des choses, stn cet inv isible écnei l que vie11(1ra, sc briser l'orgueil de la science hum aine! Et un jour, le savnnt, après

'

avoir blanchi dans de profondes études, se pr.endra à

douter de la science, et mourra en s'écriant comme Socrate, le sage des sages : "Je ne sais qu'une chose, c'est que je ne sais rien !"

Les ricl1esses,- et les plaisirs qui en wnt la suite­ne donnent pas plus le bonheur. I1 y en a qui s'imaginent que le plaisir et la· richesse rendent la vie heureuse et que le devoir l'assombrit; c'est une erreur ! La satiété: ' des plaisirs produit le d(goût et la plénitude des biens écrase celui qui les a ramassés. Il envie à l'artisan ses privati)DS qui lui font sentir le bien-être; il envie au pauvre ses douleurs, qu i rendent plus vifle plaisir qui leur succède. Souvent, l'âme pleine d'un sombre déses­poir, il dit aux ric:hesses: vous rn 'avez trompé ; aux plaisirs, vous m'avez enivré; à la vie, vous m'avez menti; il se prend d'amour pour la mort; il l'appelle des p1us doux noms; et ses mains à qui il n'a jamais demandé de travail pendant sa vie, il les arme contre lui-même, et leiH' demande, comme une grâce, le ~oup qui doit terminer ses jours et ses ennuis!

Et si vons ne m'en croyez pas, écoutez la voix des heureux de la terre, des riches et des potentats. Ecoutez la voix de s~•lomon qui, après a voir v i lé jusqu'à la lie, la coupe des f~li c ités terrestres, s' écrie dans son désen­chantement : Vanité des vanités, tout n'est que van ité! Et si cette voix est trop loin taine pour arriver jusqu'à vous, écoutez la voix de celui qui avaitrôvé de ceindre la couronne des C2sars et de renverser le trône sc':cnlnire des P :1pes, Victor Emmanuel! 0 horreur ! 0 étonne­ment! il a vu se réali ser ses rêves impies ct insensésÎ Eh bien ! que répondait-il a n x repréFcnt.'LJl tS cle toutes les pui~;snnces qu i lui offraient lem s souhaits de bonbenr à

l'occas ion elu renouvellement de cette année: qu ' il ne désirait qu'une chose, mourir!

Mais si les richesses et les sciences sont impuiss~wtes

à combler toutes nos fac:u lt ~s , le pouvoir ne le peut-il pas? Non, encore non! Le ponv oir n'est qu ' tm brillant esclavage, nne scrvitnr1c déguisée. · Il donne presqu'an­tant d'ennemis ct c1e maîtres :i. celui qni le possède qu'il acqn ièrt de sujets et d'cscl:wes. Celui qni peut tout doit tont craindre, a-t -on dit, ct l'Histoire l'a prouvé. Qnelle a été la fin de tous ces grands conquérants ct de tous ces hommes puissants par la parole? Elle a été le plus SQ Uvent funeste ct pramaturéc. Alexandre expire à

trente-trois ans dans une orgie; Annibal et Dsmostllènes s'empoisonnent ponr échn,pper à une mort plus cruelle; César meurt frappé du poignarcl de Brut us; C ic ~Sron , le P è- ­re cl u Peuple, :\ la tête tra,nchée et clouée aux vou tes qu'il avait fait retenti r tant de fois des accents de la liberté; Mirabeau, le porte -étc ndard de la Révolution, après être entré au Panthéon, en est rejeté comme une dé­pouille c1e sou illure ct d'horrem; Napoléon, l'Alex:an­c1rc de nos jours est jeté sur un rocher solitaire· et mis an ban c1cs lUttions~_. _ ._.

Malgré que le pouvoir, les richesses et les sciences causent qu6,lqnes jouü;sances, le bonheur ne réside donc p:as dans àucul'l d'enA:, parce qu'ils sont trop 'bornés et Uop inconstants et que d'ailleurs il n'est Pl:J.S donné à

t o'U4d& i:no;nde tle les posSéder, bien q uè tous ·désirent 'êtl'e .Jieu'l'eux;

Mais le bonheur .n'existerait-il pas? Ne serait-il qu'une chimère, un songe de notre imagination? L'hom­me serai't-il condamhé ici-bas au supplice de Tantale, venait-il tO\ljours devant ses yeux la vision de la féli­cité, sans pouvoir la savourer? Je ne puis le croire. L'Etre Siuprème a ·gravé trop profondément · ce senti­meut dans nos cœurs pom qu'il Soit illusoire; il est trop vivant, trop universel pour qu'il ne soit pas vrai. Supposer le. contraire, ce serait une absurdité; ce serait dire que l'être infiniment sage a donné des tendances à notre âme sans qu'il soit en son pouvo_ir de les remplir. Le .bonlleur existe donc; mais où ,est-il? Qu'est-il? Erwisagé au point de vue· transcendantal, le bonheur est absolu uu relatif. Le bonheur relatif, c'est l'activité, le progrès, l'aspiration vers le ;;ou verain bien à travers ce monde, en un mot, c'est la vertu. C'est la vertu qui verse dans l'âme des flots de félicité et de paix, qui la plong:e dans des ravissements,. des extases ineffables; c'est elle ·qui rend lej~itste heureux dàns tous les temps, dans tous les lieux, dans toutes les circonstances de la vie. En vain essuierait-il les plus terribles eatastrophes, se verrait-il frappé dans ce qu'il a de plus cher, enten­drait-il le ciel s'écrouler sur sa t ête; qu'il demeurerait insensibl'e à ses conps épouvantables de la fortune; il participe pour· ainsi elire à l'immutabilité divine. 0 vertu, que ton chat·me est universel et suprême! C'est toi qui déposes sur les lèvres de l'enfant son divin som'ire e:t qui entoure d'une couronne d 'honneur les cheveux du vieillard! C'est toi qui fais briller le bonheur sous la chaumière comme sous les lambris dorés! C'est toi qui rne!;tais clans la bouche des martyrs des chants de victoire, effroi de leurs tyram:, et qui marques encore aujourd'hui d 'une s~ rénit·~ céleste le front de ceux qui souffrent ponr la justice l

Enfin il y a le bonheur absolu, c'est la plus large expansion possible des facultés de l'homme, c'e,.st connaître, c'est aimer autant qu'il est en nous de con­naître et d'aimer; en un mot c'est le ciel, c'est la posses­sion de Dieu même. C'est cette communication entière de l'essence divine aux élus, c'est la manifestation, sans ombre et sans voile de ces infinies perfections de l'Eternel qui jettent les prédestinés dans des transports toujours renaissant'l, dans une ivresse éternelle! Et ce qui met lè sceau à leurs joi~s , c'est qu'elles dureront pendant les siècles et par delà ; il n'en est pas ainsi des

jouissances terrestres, même les plus enivrantes; elles sont toutes finies et par conséquent imparfaites. Mais ce ]:)onheur parfait, ces joies de la patrie, nous ne les goflter<>ns qu'au jour où la mort brisera les liens qui nous retiennent dans l'exil. Le bonheur, c'est donc comme une fleur dont le bouton s'entr'ouvre sur la terre aux regards de l'homme, mais dont la corolle btillante ne s'épanoui pour lui que dans l' étemité!

LA CONVENTION DE MINNEAPOLIS.

Les Canadiens Français du Minnésota doivent se réunir en convention pendant les derniers jours du mois de Mai. C'est une heureuse et patriotique pensée. Ces assemblées sont comme un faisceau de forces et de lumières individuelles mis au service du bien général.

Partout ces réunions ont produit des résultats mer­veilleux, spécialement parmi nos compatriotes de l'Est. Elles les ont organisés en associations de tous

. genres: as::;ociations de bienfaissance, associations religieuses, politiques et littéraires. C'est au milieu de ces délibérations que le jour se fait, qu'on a adopté les moyens les plus propres à conserver notre homogénité comme peuple.

Aussi comme il fait beau de voir aux jours de fête les rangs serrés de nos nationaux de l'Est! Leur présence à Montréal en 1874 a été toute une révélation. Après s'être entendus, ne doivent-ils pas se sentir plus forts, et les autres races ne sont-elles pas plus disposées à les respecter, à compter avec eux?

Félicitons les Canadiens de Minnéapolis qui, à

l'instar cle leurs frères de l'Est, nous convoquent à

leurs délibérations. Ils sont déjà entrés dans la voi'tl du progrès et de la prospérité, et nul doute que cette convention ne leur donne un nouvel élan.

St. Paul et Minnéapolis sont deux centres considé­rables, autour desquels sont groupés de nombreux établissements Canadiens. Ces deux villes possèdent chacune leurs journaux français, comptent plusieurs soci étés nationales et elles ouvriront, l'automne pro­chain, des écoles sous la direction des Sœurs de la Congrégation. Le projet de convention pour le mois de M:ai t émoigne hautement de l'intelligence et du sens pratique de nos compatriotes du Minnésota. N'ayant en vue que l'int5rêt · g Jn3r:tl , ils ne se sépareront que plus forts et plus unis que jamais,· sllrs de mener à

bonne fin la noble lutte ·qui s'est engagée depuis· des siècles sur ce continent .pom la conservation de notre nationalité.

Quelle admirable idée aussi que celle d'appeler le vénérable Evêque de Trois-Rivières, le plus ardent apôtre du patriotisme canadien, à assister à la conven­tion de lVI innéapolis. Il faut espérer que Mgr. Laflèche

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS.

n'écoutant que son amour pour ses compatriotes, se rendra à l'invitation qui lui a été faite, malgré ses nombreuses occupa·tions, son grand âge et ses pénibles infirmités. Son nom seul, plus qü'aucun autre embrême, servira de ralliement à tout ce qui porte un nom fi·ançais.

La démarche patrioque de nos frères du Nord Ouest trouvera-t-elle les Canadiens de l'Illinois indifférents et apathiques? Si nous ne nous joignons pas à eux, n'imiterons-nous pas plus tard leur exemple? N'est-il pas vrai qu'il y ait parmi nous un manque complet d'orga­nisation générale? Tout n'est-il hissé à chaque centre, .à

chaque localité? Quel moyen avons-nous de nous réumr et de nous comprendre? Nous n'avons qu'un seul jour­nal français et aucun organe religieux. Pourtant les Catholiques ont pour eux le nombre, l'inte]Hgence et la fortune.

Que d'autres éléments, sources de force et d'union, ne nous font-ils pas défaut! Combien de paroisses n'ont pas encore d'écoles françaises?

Nous avons il est vrai une maison d'édùcation supérieure, mais le nombre de nos compatriotes qui la connaissent est bien restreint; quel encouragement reçoit-elle de leur part? Cependant la nécessité de l' existence d'une semblable institution devrait s'impo­ser à l'attention de tous. Ne sont-ce pas des maisons de ce genre qui relèveront le niveau intellectuel de ,nos compatriotes, et qui placeront notre jeunesse sur un pied d'égalité avec · celle des autres nationalités, tout en lui conservant son propre cachet?

Qui entreprendra de secouer la torpeur qui nous paralyse? Pourquoi quelqu'une des belles sociétés de Chicago ne prP.ndi'ait-elle pas l'initiative d'un mouve-

• ment tendant a nous rapprocher, à nous doter de ce qui nous manque? Chicago est la grande métropole de l'Ouest, notre centre naturel. Nos compatriotes des Etats voisins du Michigan, du Wisconsin de l'Indiana, pourraient se joindre à nous. Chaque société, chaque paroisse en verraient des représentants.

Les membres du Clergé, qui ont toujours été pour la nati011 canadienne ce que Moïse fut pour le peuple Juif, prêteraient ici, comme ils l'ont toujours fait dans les conventions de l'Est, Je secottrs de leur influence et de leurs lumières. Car ces réunions, sans ·leur . présence, ne sauraient obtenir la confiance de nos populations: elles manqueraient de ce sceau, de ce caractère auguste qui seul peut les mettre à l'abri de toute attaque, de tout soupçon d'intérêt privé.

Quel travail fécond pour notre développement national ne pourrait pas alors être . réalisé! Nous exprimons aujourd'hui une idée; nous croyons que c'est notre droit comme notre devoir. Recevra-t-elle' un accueil bienveillant ou sem-t-elle rejetée comme inop­portune? L'avenir le dira.

Cote who resigned his parish in order that St. Viateur's community be esta­blished here, nor, has this been the only assistance which he has rendered us.

INNSBRUCK, April 2G '84.

Du:AR JouaNAL: A good excuse for my writing you

so often is that I see you pn blish my letters and per­lu1ps th is one will prove interesting in May. The pro­vince of Ancona is the richest in n;tural scenery and most fertile in the various prod nets of the South, in all Italy. The beautiful coast from Venice to Ancona along the Adriatic, has so many pl e:-~sing attractions as to almost enchant the traveller. The beautiful Adriatic so placid in the bright snnshine, the magnificent views of the picturesque Appenines, combine to charm the weary traveller and to make him forget his f!ttigue.

. Before describing the church and the principal attrac­tiOns of the pluce, it may not be amiss to relate the history of the Santa Casa or Holy House of Loretto, as it is called. The house where the holy Family dwelt after their return from Egypt was a small and humble cottage at Nazareth. From the earliest dnys of Chris­tianity it ~mjoyed the veneration of all christians on account of its having been for nearly thirty years, the dwelling place of the God Man. In the yenr of our Lord 336 St. Helen, the mother of Const8J'Jtine the Great, made n pilgrimag~ to Nnzareth and caused a magnificent Basilica to be erected over the Santa Casa. After some centuries had elapsed this grand Basilica fell into deea.y owing to the incursions of the Mahom­etans until finally the Santa Casa was miraculously transported by Angel hands to a town called Fiume on the const of Dalmatia in 1291.

Here it remnined r1nring the space of three years when it wns ag,tin carried by angels, during the night, across the Adriatic to its present resting place then a field belonging to a wir1ow called Lameta.

A SH !UNE 0~' DEVOTION

A city nrose on the spot, as if by mngic, nncl wfls nnme(l after the pions ·widow Lnuret:1, in modern 1Vtl­ian Loretto. b ince that time Loretto has been one of 1 he most celebrated pilgrimages of the world al)(r rnir:i 011f:l of pilgrims visit it annually from all lXtrts of the globe. The most renowned masters expended nll their sl~ill ·i·n orrler to beautify the noble B:1silicn , which w:-~s soon er~cted over the Holy Honse. Sculptors nml pninters flocked to Loretto, to make it, ns far as it lies iu human power, a fit resting place for the precious relic, so won­derfully placed there. The church is a m:-~gnificent nn<l imposing structure but the style wonlrl be diJ-ficnlt to name or to describe. The present faqar1e wHs erecterl

by oroer of Sixtns V, a devout client of our Lady of Lor~tto. ·

An immense statue, in bronze, of this glorious Pon­tiff, a.lmost overcomes one by the graurleur of it s colossal proportions as he npproaches the church, from the piazza or open sp:1ce before the Bn.silica. Over the main entrance is n, charming statue of the Mother of God with the divine Infimt, larger than life. It is the work of the celebrated Itnlian sculptor, Girolamo Lombardo. The chief beauty of the exterior of this grand building are its mas:;i ve bronze doors, three i;1

number. They are a work of the finest a rt. The church contains many celebrated mosaics and pnintinO'S by

l . 0

snc 1 artists as Domeni.-;hino, Guido Reni &c.

SANTA CASA

The chief glory of the church, however, before which all others sink into insignificance, is the celebrated

Loretto is one of the prettiest towns in the Marches of Anconn. Situnted en an eminence overlooking the blue ArlriaLic and affvrding delightful views <,f the neighboring mountains it seems truly a fit place for the celebrated sanctuary of ou1· La.dy of Loretto. · Santa Casu, which stands under the Dome.

ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL. 6!)

'flle teal walls of the Holy House are covered on the ·out-side by a casing of marble.

Pope Leo X gave the order for its · erection but it was'not compieted under ·him. l3ramante is the author of the principal deslgn, but the whole wall is_ covered ·with masterpieces of the ·most celebrated sculptors, that ever used the chisel. l\1ost of them worked for no earthly temuneration, but tllis sublime creation is a grand monument to theJr noble and pious zeal for the beauty of God's house.

The sc-enes d~picted on the marble are taken from the principal events in Lhe life of our Saviour and I-iis blessed Mother. The feeling, when one enters the Santa Casa, · is one of convic-tion of the truth of the history of this sacred place. It is truly a holy spot.

I t}o not speak of my own experience alone, but of that ofmany. Even Protestants, who, before entering thii? venerable sanctuary were quite sceptical aucl dis­posed to treat the well authenticated history of the house, as a ~·Monkish superstition fit only for, old women to listen to," confessed that the impression they receiv­ed within the sacred w~lls was one of solemn conviction and openly declnred their belief that this was really the house sanctified by the presence of Jesus Christ whilst ori e:1rth.

The int~rior of the-Santa Cnsa is yery simple and the walls are bare and in· their original stlate except that the lower portion is worn smooth by kisses of millions · of devout pilgrims. The house is very small and about :JS large as an ordimlry room in on e of our modern houses. It seems that in the time of our Saviour it was eli vided into two apartments. The altar now separates the one from the other; in lieu of the wall, which for­merly existed. In the humble chamber in which the angel announced th~ great mystery of the Incarnation to ou-r .Lady, is an insl'ription to this effect: "V·erbum caro hie f~wtum est."'

In a niche in the wall of this apartment is preserved a very 9-ncient statue of the Madonna attributed to ~t.

Luke. It is now quite black from a.ge. It is decorated with jewels and alll,inds of precious stones, which glit­ter in the light of innumerable lamps of the most pre­cious metals, which burn day and night in this sacred · shrine, Here is also preserved a dish which is said to bave heen used by the Holy Family. It is covered with gold inlaid with precious stones. Ol>jccts of de­votion are placed -herein to be blest.

NATIONS ENTONE MAGNU<'JCAT

There are always pilgrims in Loretto, but when I was there, it seemed as though all nations were represented. A Russo-Greek Bishop, F.renchmen, Austrians, Germans, Spaniarcls, Englishmen all animated by one motive to honor the Mother of God. Where can one find snch

unity outside of the Catholic Church? The ·Italian pil­gTims make a lasting impression on the foreigner. Their devotion is so childlike and simple, their sweet chants in the soft Italian tongue, all, make the coldest heart, throb with emotion. Outside of the Church, LOl'etto's principal attrn.ction is the Palazzo Apostolico, a former summer place of the Popes, but confiscated by tlle Piedmontese government. It contains some ·rare old paintings by the best masters. Near the Palazzo is the former Jesuit nollege, but owing to the expulsion of the Fathers the building is dcsertf'd and the youth of the place grow up wild and ignorant. The parting from Loretto is sad. One soon becomes attached to the pl~ce, rich as it is in natural beauty and religious associations.

But the impressions we receive there are carefully treasured and last a life time.

Eugene P. Turner.

"'VV e commend the attention of some of our exchanges, particularly, the "Horre Scholasticre'' of Concord, N. H. to the article "The Massacre of St. Bar­tholomew," in this issue of the JouRNAL. For a clear statement of facts furnished by Protestant authority, the article will repay perus21.l. Whilst we are far fi·om thinking these arguments the only ones in our favor, as we have others in reserve fi·om very bitter opponents bf the Catholic Church, yet, we deem the article a suffi­cient and conclusive answer to some observations made in a recent number of the Horre Scholasticre. Fair play is an Amcricun trait_and on the same line with tl~ejewel truth. We are Americans, Gentlemen, and we love both. Perhaps yon would too in a like degree) if you knew the truth we possess. ·

OUR EXCHANGES.

The Blackburnian bas come to hand this week from Carlinville Ills. We gladly place it on onr li~t-Its

columns are well filled with goocl reading matter-too local however to snit onr taste. A greater variety of general subjects might be an improvement.

The Stnf1cnt from Cumberland University, Lebanon Tenn. is a very tasty College magazine. Its book-like get-up mukes its appearance exceedingly attractive and convenient to carry about. Its columns are well stocked with choice literary essays on science, liter­ature and art. Bm. Student you al'e welcome to om· Scmctum.

We acknowleclge. the pleasme and instruction receiv­ed from perusing the columns of the '\¥'estern Catholic of Chicago and the Connecticut Catholic of Hartford . The abnndn.nce of sonncl literatme these journals con­tain is worthy of liberal putronilge.

''The Valparaiso Herald" under the able leadership

70 ST. VIATEUR'S COJ.JLEGE JOURNAL,

of Bro. McAuliffe is one of the foremos t Irish Catholic papers in the Hoosier state. The editorial department is well conducted-the local notes are exceedingly spicy-while the scissor-clippings are well selected.

The La Salle Times under t.be editorial management of Bro. O'Gonnor is well condncted . The more we become acquainted wi th the "Times" the more we nppreciate its contents-the more we admire the news­paper tact of onr fri end.

The Ann Arbor Index is performing · a good w0rk for the teaching body of the laud. The many essays that appear in every issue relative to this or that method of instTUction-pointing out the success or failure that may follow from the adoption of either, make the Index doubly interesting to all engaged in trnining the young idea how to shoot. "Milton's Satan'' and "A plea for disciplinary studies" in the last number were well written papers.
