1.-SATURDAY. Anril 26 1884. No.5 {====================~ ~! ing? Wealth, power, honors, everything born of eatth "'l will end with the tomb : and the tomb- who can tell · .~' I where upon our path it lies? There i<> however a \\ treasure which endures forever, there is a treasure

which is not dug from the ruins of the earth, but falls 'jlike the dew from heaven; which does not erid with the

tomb, bnt remains with us and by its brightness lights us through the lonely shades of death to the golden fields i of Paradise. This treasure is virtue, that beautiful

l gem, so rare, so pure, so bright with heavenly glory,

} that, too pre.cious to be l~ft on earth, ":e take it wi~h us to the skres, we bear rt anew to Hrm who gave 1t.

J The world's history substantiates these assertions. Re­J view it, if you will, and judge for yourself. Where are , now all the magnificent gifts that fortune has bestowed

I.>. upon man since first he set foot on the stage of life. The \ glory of Assyria, of Greece and Rome is buried beneath ( the ruin of ages; the shouts of victory have years c

1i ago died out, and even the glittering palaces in which

many kings carousP-d have turned to dust. The time, too, shall come when our proud cities, our own stores of wealth, all the pageantry of power, shall go down in

VIRTUE ALONE SURVIVES.

l\[a.ny persons, from ln.ck of proper thought. may feel a great attachment to the world; they may value the glittering pageantry of lite ; but, on calm and serious reflection who will not SflY in his heart, that, of all the treasnres of ear~h. "Virtue alone survives." The gifts of fortune are transient and uncertain. 'Vho leans upon them leans on n broken reed. Tis true, they sometimes brighten out lonely paths through life, but, like the lightning's flash, they only dazzle the eye for a mo­ment, and then quickly disapear, leaving us behind in the darkness and storm. How often llas it happened, and how often does it o:till happen thnt men fall frorn a high station of life to look "orrowfully back and exclaim with Wolsey: Had I but served my God with half the zeal .... He would not desert me .... The world has known m~tny Wolseys.

After all, what are the glories of life but empty dreams which the dawn of eternity, will melt to noth-

..

) glad shouts of triumph, shall have their place far away in the si lent past; generations yet to be, may look back to them and learn from them the nothingness and utter instability of all this world gives. A~d again. Glance once more over the years that

are gone. Behold that long line of white robed Saints who, from the dawn of Christianity even until now, havr., each in his turn, added another gem to the crown of the Church of Christ. The treasure they sought reached beyond the bourne of this! short life; it wns not buried with their bodies in the tomb; but it remained with them, and, after guiding them safely through the narrow straits of death, finally brought them glorious and triumphant to that beautiful shore "where eyes cense weeping and hearts sigh no more." Such, is the nature of virtue. Not only does it brighten onr way through life, but, when life is ended, it shines on our path through eternity. It is a treasure above all treasures-the purest, the brightest, the most precious thnt lies within the reach of erring man. Indeed, "lfthcre is aught ofloveliness, ifthere is aught of worth,

52 ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE .J OUltNAL.

Ifthere's a trace of Heaven left upon this thin earth," going to God instead of waiting for God to come to him 'tis surely found in v irtue. Youth has no ornament or send an angel t o bestow wlia,t the Lord intend ed more beautiful , manhood no treasure more V9lna.1Jie him to get, only by diligent hands, swift feet, reasoning nge no s~1pport more solid and b sting. It stands first h ead, and activ0, liY e heart. Jmpl'af'tica] mln alwnys on the roll of life's prizes. It is the crowning jewel of all expect to find where they have 110t sown, or, they sow em'thly perfection. As an able writer h::ts well said: : o ut of season , and as no fruits bless their untimely " Looming, wi, dom, g'nin ,, nnd tho liko "' tho only tnho, s, lh~> .. =~·- -' '->·<Ou_qt:utteL o•lo~t gews wherein to set this peerless brilliant." 1

Virtue is more than an ornament; it is a blessing. By 1

it, life is tempered and sweetened with snchjoys as only ~ angels know. If ever a beam of I-Jeav.en's bliss has pen- J

etrated the darkness of this m 'serable .world, it is surely (

1:

that which glows upon the countenance of virtue. Life has no other real source of happiness. It cheers and consoles, when all else might discourage us or even / drive us to despair. Over life's darkest clouds it spreads a heavenly light, which otten like the r ainbow, seems to herald the calm of the hereafter. . l

When those days of earth are ended, when thef" stars of eternity gleam through the gloom, when all els is deserti11g us, virtue will remain to comfort and con{ sole us ; it will whisper to us words ofpeace, it will g ive[ us assurance that soon angels will welcome to a heav -\. enly home qne more weary heart. ~

54 ST. VlATEUJt'S COLLEGE .JOURNAL.

--SALVE ET VALE.-

The other morning while sitting at my open window, looking out upon the neighboring street, I saw .a merry party approaching the old stone church as it stands sombre and ftlone looking clown in majesty on t he hum­ble cottages of the v illage. Foremost was a yonng lady of radiant beanty, attired in nnptial robes, snrrounded by friends whose sunny countenances bespolte t hei r in­ward joy. Close by was t he Yillage blacksmith who to-day had laid by his. apron, for a suit of coventional b lack. He was accompanied by his father who smiled complaisantly on his manly son.

I 'Vhile contemplating these manifestations of rejoicing in onr generally quiet· village, tbe church bell pealed out its merry chime announcing to all , the ad vent of that happy day when two hearts would beat as one.

Down to the altar walked the couple with reverent tread and ere long the joyful notes of the wedding march vibrated upon the calm morning air. All went merry as a marriage bell.

Scarcely had the glad sounds of the wedding march died away when the solemn tolling of the bell hnshed the happy gTeetings and awakened thoughts of the last bitter hour, vv.hen man having finished the painful pilgrimage of life, finds himself a t the clreacl pass beyond which is certainty and uncertainty . Then the bell was silent again , and wondering what eaused this strange transition from joy to sadness, I cast a hurried glance around , and not far off, beheld a small proces~ion with slow n.nd measnred tread approaching. In front came six weeping children carrying a coffin wherein lay all that was ear thly o a swe -t child who pln.yed with them but yesterday. T enderly they deposited their little treasure on the. bier before t he church and one by one knelt clown to pray till the marriage rite was over.

All was gladness within. A new life had begun in sunshine and happiness, fond friends came to celebrate the joyful occasion with fest ivities nnd rejoici ng and join in the prayer thn.t the clouds of acl versity might never darken t heir no'~ sunli t way. No thoughts of sorrow were there, perhaps the memory of friends long dead were forgotten for the time, and the storms of yesterday were bushed in the calm otto-day. Out~icle there was no rejoicing an d aHi icted hearts gave ntter­ance to their sorrows. How changed the chmch seems. now. No longer the soft note of g laclne~s is heard but all is sile:ht as the tom b.

The bridal party has left the _chnrch; t he coflln OCC ll­

p ies the place left vacant by the happy bride and groom, the priest who but a few moments ago blessed the husband and wife, now performs the last sad office for the dead. A grave in a lonely corner of the old church yard receives the coflln and with tearfnl eyes the fri ends take a last HLrewcll of that silent clay .

That night the house of the bride was lit up with , dazzling jets of light, there could be heard soft notes of mnsic, the concourse of many voices-all indicating the merriment which reigned within. But in another home that night, a lonely taper burned upon a. table around which a Jamily gathered; silent and m ~ditativ e were all , for gri ef had entered there nnd !eft no room Jor iclle tnlking. They thought not of their neighbor's cheer or if they did, it only aclderl another pang to their already nffl ictecl henrts to think how little noti ce t he world took of their miseri es and that, " The next day's snn in sp lendor, woulcl shiue upon their · darling's tomb."

This incident of an honr is onl y one out of the many which cl a.i ly takes place, but happening in our midst forcibly impresses the truth of the poet's words:­

"From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud Oh! why should the spirit or mortal be prond."

In the immense throng crossing the bridge which spans the river of time, we Eee youth racli fmt with hope and beauty, pursuing empty phantoms, old !lge fo rgetfu l or its npproaching doom efl.gerly hurrying on to some desired p lnt, wlli lst nn cler thei r very feet they see broken Rpans through whi ell o mnny of their friend:; . have fallen into thn.t merciless st ream whi.::h must for­ever hide them.

5G ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOUHNAL.

E urope. T he Abbey church is a maguificent strncture, and is the cathedral church of the diocese. The Arch­abbot of Monte Casino, Mgr. d'Orgemont, being ordin­ary of the diocese. Here under the higil Altar, nrc t he bodies of St. Benedict and his sister St. Scholastica. I attended High Mas in the crypt under the church at the tomb of these sn.ip t.s,and the impress ion made on one, by the almost heavenly chant of the monks, the rich peals of the organ, the solemn feeling one naturally ' has when at the tomb of a g reat man and a saint, is in­describable. The high Altar is made of most pre­cious stones inlaid with mosaics. The organ in the chu;rch is the largest and has the sweetest tone of any in Italy. The paintings in the side chapels are v ery rich and by the best masters. In the chapel of St. Car­boman, an uncle, if I mistake not, of Charlemagne, they are very interesting.

POINTS OF INT EREST

\Vhen Benedict came to Monte Casino, he said nothing of his princely race, nor of his profound erudition and as he was unknown to the monks, he received the habit as a brotht~r and was then made shepherd of the flocks belong­ing to tbe monastery. One tlay being absorbed in div­ine contemr htion some thieves came and stole his sheep.

On perceiving t his he wns overwhelmed with grief and sought the thieves high and low. On fin eli ng them he b<"gged them to restore hi s sheep: say ing he would give them all he llad-his clothes-The thieves over­come by the simplicity of the holy man restored the sheep but t ook .his clothes. Imagine the astonishment, then, of the good monks when the brother shepherd re­turned to the monastery almost naked. He wn s then put in the kitchen but here he made so many mistakes that he was useless. The good Fathers were seriously considering, one day what employment they could give this awkward brother-for the motto o1 the Benedictines is "Ora et labora' '-Pray and work-They di scov<"rcd accidentally who the brother was and ga ve him work suited to his talents. The p~<intings in this chapel arc very striking anrl portray ;vith admirable skill the in­cidents I have related. The next chapel which interests every visitor at Monte Casino, is the one dedicated to St. Victor III Pope, or as he is better kn own St. Desi­clerius, the latter being his name in religion. He was Abbot of Monte Casino and became the snccessor of St. Gregory VII also a Bene<li ctine. He returned to his beloved home at Monte Casino after a short reign ns Pope and died there. The most interesting of all the relics of Monte Casino is the ancient tower where St. Benedict lived. Here are his cell where he composed his admirable R1tle, the chapel where he so often prayed and where . he worked so many miracles. The whole

tower has been coi1verted into several chapels and on ' · the occasion of the 14th. cen:t_enary of the Ordel', s0me monks from Beuron in Bavaria all artists of the first rank, acl o'rned the walls 'with scenes h·om the life ·of the saint anrl mystical ex'Ol::tnations of his R1tle. These paintings have obtH.inerl the celebrity which they ,de­serve. They are all in the Byzantine style and the effects of color are rich and charming.

A TR~ASUU !<; IN BOOKS

. The g reat glory of the Abbey apart from its being the chief house of the order of St. Benedict, is its m.am­moth library, now in the possession of the thieving Italian govemment. The library contains at present about 20,000 volumes. T~ere are many curious manu­scripts in Gothic and Latin characters. The archives are contained in three spacious halls. In one of these hnlls are found manuscripts and parchments of ·every century since the tim"! of St. Benedict. The chief treasure of this precious collection is a costly mann­script copy of Dante's Comeclia or as our own poet Longfellow has it "Div ine Trag'edy." This is in the Gothic character and enriched with marginal note~.

There are also writings simple and illuminated in all languages, mnnnscripts in Longobardian ancl Gothi c characters with g ilded and colored initial letters. There . are quaint old Missnls, illnminnted. In short, the trea~­

ures of this library are almost ·innumemble. There are vver 90,000 parchm ents, some relating to

the hi story of the Abbey, the oldest elating to. the eighth centlll'y. H w·e one sees the benefit monasteries have done for c: vi li zation and chr istianity . No intelli ­gent man will sny anything about lazy monks or the darkness of t he middle ages, if he pays a visit to Monte Cn sin o. The Catholics cnn refute all snch ignorant nssertions by simply pointing to the monks of Monte Casino as examples of sa nctity, learu ing and char­ity-in shorL-as the civili zers of Em·ope.

ADmu

Alas! 0'1e cannot alw;lys.live at MontE' Cnsino, and. after enjoying for two clays the world renowned hospi­tality of the Benedictines ] returned to Rome, after a short visit to Aqnino the birthplace of the '•Angel of the Schools." The town is n bout eight miles ii·om Cas­ino and has little of interest for the traveller. The house is still shown which bcloJ1ged to the fa1c.ily 0f St. Thomns. From Aqu ino I bade good bye to the Abbey of Monte Casino and then lost sight of it. The impression I received, however, of the grandeur of the Catholic religion ·which alone conld produce a body of men who have clone so much for the world in the sohtude of the cloist er , will always remain .
