.- -· -sr:AVERY ANl> THE CHURCH.
Et>W-'.RD H . KR..UŒ.R .
At the dawn of Christianity al! nations wnre in volv· ed in the du~ky c louds of Pa.ganism and corruption. The Jews themselvts, once God's chosen people, were wandering ft·om the path troctden by thei•· forefather~
and turning their steps towards the gilrled images of their Pagan neighbors. We mny say with Balmes ; ~<MoraliLy was without reality, manner~ witbout modesty, the passions without restraint, la ws w!~houl authority, and relig-ion witbout God." S lave•·y, the offspring ofpoverty, wa.r and luxury, likea plague, and attended witit its baneful effects, bad spread among ali nations ~nd seemed to have usurpe1l the sanction of law. Rome having gathered tbe world witbiu ber walls had fu lfilled ber mission. Her streets ecltoed wit,h t~e tread of represP.ntatives of a li nationalities, loaded with chains driven in to one hoanl by ber might. At evt-ry hattie in wbich the Roman eagle tr iumphed the number ofsla ves increa!ied. H istory relatf's that Mome nobles possesseri from ten tu t wen ty thousaud; in Groece they were a lmost innumt>rable , Atl.ens a lone reckoniug 40,000. The HelolE of Sparta wem more nume1·ous thau her cit · izens. Pliny s:-~y~, "That the cortt>ge of a family resembled an army .' ' Among the ·barbarian nn.tionH th eir n~mbers were imm ense. They were considcred as mere things who cou id be put to death at the mnsters ' caprice. Their marrioges were looked upon as no union, a nd their cbil<i ren were tr ated like progeny of animais.
The crnelties excrcised on these wre tcbed creature!> nec1l not be mentionec1. Th e re:tder of bistory remembers w e tl Veclins Pollio, who feci his fl.sh with the bodies of bis slaves at the !east ca use of d ispleasure, ami Lbe massaere of the 400 slaves ofPedaniu:l Secun<lus. lt was not an t\nu sual occurrence fur them to be hung up with w:eigh.ts attached to their feet. In Rome it was customary to chain the porter at the door like a <log. Think of them shut up in large partly undergroun1l barrack!', fed on cvrn, a few fa.llen olives or a little salt fish with vinE:>gar. Once in two years one cloak aud a pair of wooden shoes were given them. A fugitive t~lave when caught was branQcd on his forehead with the letter F. A collar is said to he preserved at Rome with this in. scription: "Fugi: tene me: emu revocaveris me domino meo Zonino a cci pies solidum." "A runaway, catch me, when you have reLurnerl me to my mastcr you shall receive 17 shilling~."
Tbus the slnve passed his wretched existence in the è ntire subjection of his own will to that of another and this was one of the great cancers of the social state, which the Church bad to beai. And how di(l she pro-

GEORGE E. DOJoiNELLY.
Doubtle~.os, tbere is no heart :oympatbetic to buman sufferin~, no eye which ever shed l\ tesr for down. tvodden hum:mity, that is 110t now turned 11cross the sea to the land of heroes and scholars, to Irelanè, the emerald isle of the ocenn. Centuries of oppression have swept over her head and y et there she still stands n. queen , but a qucen shoru of her jewels, robhed of her riches and nothing left her save unrivulled natural beau ti es which cruelties and bitter wars have disfigured but cou !ct not remove.
The last f~w "ITeeks bave. indee(l , becn eventful ones in .Erin's hi story an(: recnll with viviùness to our minds the rla.yR of Gntttan and O'Connel!. The outcome of the late nefarious plot of a tyrannical government n.gain~t the nhle lencler of Ireland's ctestiny, is too fresh in the mincis ol ali to bear repetition. And that eventful clay, wl:en the charges agn.inst Parnell were dismissed, wh en .J nstice rlcigned to l'mile on an Irish man, is Jookt>d upon as a ~i:oy which metms a new epocb in the history of Irchncl.
The golrlen echueti which bore lJ,e news of Parnell's tlt'qu iltal whispered into t he enrs of Irela.nd's every sc•n ::~nd lo\·cr tue m:1gic won{ " Home. rule." Yes, tbe la te eonSlJirn cy of the (.;overnment against Pal'llell , the murrlcr of Irishmen in prison by Balfour, the mighty risiug ol ~he English people in favor of constitutional j ustice for t lteil· sister conntry and their finn trust in the wisdom of Gladstone, have made ripe the time for Irelancl to fort:e from an nnwilling sovereign the long cherished right of ruling herself. And whnt R rlay it will be when the Irish capital decked out in ber holiday nttire will welcome tu the most historie huil•iing of an historie co>mtry, !ter own legislators. How the old house of Parliament will rock with t he cheers of those assembled to witncss the triumph of truth and justice ove t· coerc!on and centuries of oppression .
Those who are the the h:.~ppy bebolders wi ll, doubt. les:~, bring to tbeir graves memories ofthis event which th{'y woulfl nut, if they coulJ, banish from their mind~. For Patriotism, so long worsbipped, and Religion, so long cherished, joined t<• the long desired Liberty, will form a tdnity wh!ch will raise Erin from the Niobe or nations to her proper sphet·c in the company of govern
ment. Let us t::~kc a cm·sory view of Ireland 's past and
draw from it ber futnre prospect~! .
Centuries ago, ere the foot of the English invader ent-ered b~r ~o il , Rhe lV ~l fl happy. The Spring 's fresh
bt·eezes a.woke the hnsbannman to h is work of cultivating the most fer·tile land of the earth's surface; the Summer's sun bi'Ought out the happy iuhahitants to ecenes of pleasure, mirth and enjoy mP.nt; Autumn invited tlle honest farmer to gather to himself the fl'llit of bis toil; and Win ter, dreary as it was, ser.vcd as a season of rest anrl ilomestic happi11e~$.
This was Irelnnd in happier dnys. I nstitut:ons of learning graced her venerable hills, religion softenP.d the hearts of ber inhabitunts, and freedom did bornage at t.he shrine of this most patl'iotic people of the world.
Bqt times ha ve sadly changed. The frightful marks of the tyrant's bee! a re now found everywbere. Despoiled ol ber land by a cruel government, her cit.izans made aliens in their own country, the sweat of whose brow oerves but to enrich men wbose ~vl e purpose is to rivet tighter tbeir chai ns; t.bese are a few of the eruelties Ireland bas to suffer. Incited by such deeù a her sons havE~ sought refuge in other, bnt happier conntries, and have d istingui:;hcd t.hemsel v es both in the science of war and the pUI·suits ot peace.
The sun of Ireland's destiny, however, still lurks behind the dark clouds of persecution; but when she has her own legisl&tors this sun will again shed on ali, the beams of national cu !ture and the refiocment of the industrial arts. Erin 's p1·ogress will then be most rapid. Justice will be the watch-word, and Experience the gui(le, of thùse long bmied, but theu resut'l'ected princi pies o f Irish liberty. lrish commerce will receive an impetus; t.he green tlag will be a companion of the ''Stars and ~lripes" on every sea :.wc! in every 0lim(•; and Emmct's epitaph will at length be written. In learning she will ag,(in resum e 11er place. From the fil'th to the fourteenth cenlury fe\v countrics of Emope excel!ed Ire land in architecture, seul ptu re nod the decorative arts; am! with prosperit.y these long !ost trarts of Erin's ingenuity will ngain break furth . Go!d. ~>mith, Tyndal, 1\iuore, O'Connell, B urke, Sheridan and G riffin, represt:>nting every depart.menL of literature, are the off,;pring of n per.,ecuteri pn,rent, and wbcn persecution shall lla ve ceasecl, wh en her own l eg i ~laLOrs shall give an impetua to literature, science nnJ art, by the dissemination of learning, what cau we noL cxpect from the isle of scholars?

We nte our dinner of venison ancl wilct turkey - wbich were as plentiful tben as rabbits are at the present dny -and after w e barl chattecl a.while, l.Je proposed thnt we take a trip to the woods, to finrl some f•·esh meat. .

~T. YlATEUR'S UOLL.EGE JÜUH..KAL. l~l
In the tLOrning I awoke very mucb ren·e bed acd wben I went ont, the raio of the night previous had cleared away and ail nature seemed refreshed ; the golden Jea.ve:. on the buge oak trees looked more beautiful thau ever and the long brown grass sparkled like so many diamor:ds.
After we had eaten our breakfa t, which consisted of sorne nice brook bss~, a piece of veuison, bread and butter, and a good eup of coffee, and were sitting in front of the cabin smoking our pipes, my frienrl begim tr.lking about a large bear that had been the tel'l'or of the mountains t'or years, anrl that its !ien wns iu a large cave about tive miles distant; he saict he was always afraid togo nenr it alone but thought that there was no dangE:'r in our going tog-ether. So we prepnrect a lunch and sta;rted.
\Ve nrriv"'d 1\.t the cave nb .• ut noon, nu d being tired :•l•d hungry wc sât down nnd ate 0UI' Jur.ch. After that we prepnred to go i nto the en ve, which extendect back nhout a q'unrter of a mi!t> . ·w c lit our torches and cntered. \Vheu we had got h:tlf way in , we found, to our consternation , tlmt our torches would not burn. We iwlllediately tm·rttHl bnck, :tnd lwd gone but a tew steps wlten the last ~pnrk>< of our light~; went out. Just imagine our feelings ! TlJere we were in a worse dnrkness tltnn was .Moses when his light went out; at leas~, I t.hougbt SIJ. We tried Ottr lte ::<.t to lind tite entrance, but fiod it we could not.
\Ve l.Jad wandered abou l for three lw urs :.uHl were about to give up in despair, wuen surldcnly we heard a noise which made om· bloorl mn colcl; nntl I iml1gined I felt my ùair pushing my hat off, and ali at once I was struck a:! by a cyclone. I immectiately got up and was glact to finct that no bones were broken . It was the bear thaL harl :struck me in running town t·ù s the entrance, haviug been frighteoed at seeing om· lights.
vVe &tarled in tb~ direction the bear had gone, and to our relief, soon !oum! our way ouL; ana: nevei· were w~ mat·e thankful at seeing daylfght. We could not see .Mr. Bear, w we resolved t<l wait for hin;, Knowing tbat n bear never stays away from his den longer thau 24 hours. ·we built a fire and campect for Lhe night; and after we b!ul tnlked about our exuloit, as it was getting late, 1 told Johh tbnt he could go to sleep whilst I would watch. He agreed, and wns sovu wrapped in bappy slumber, leaving me to amuse myselt witb the f:>'(ll'eecbes of the nigbt 0\'\>1, and tite distant howl (•f a wolf 01· sorne other wîld animal.
I began to get sleepy about 1 t o'clock and I eould ba.rrlly stay awake. I wns startlerl auout 3 o'clock by the ora~hing of brushwood nen1· by. 1 imtnediately uwoke my fdend anâtold bim that I thought our game bàd come. We threw more wood on the fire so that we could sce better. Whcn it bega n to hurn brightly we
could see two eyes glaring in the brushwood . My frienc! wbo was nu ex per t with the gun, took airn aud fired. He struck tlte bear t~i ght betweeu the eyes and with one bound he feil dt~ad at ou r feet·. Delighted with our success, \\' C t.u rned our steps hornewarct, hcroes of tbe day.
