Formation Of Sexton Literary Institute IN
st. Paul.
Sunday afternoon large number of
prominent young lTishmen assembled
in the a.. O. Ell. hall and organized a
literary institute, having for its object
the sustaining and advancing Of Irish
literature, and the uniting in one COM
pact body the youthful Irish American
element Of this city. r. J. Fortune
was called to he3chair and delivered a
lengthy discourse upon the objects of
the organization. He said the consid-
Grafton of Ireland's literature brought
him back in spirit to the happy days
when the land of their love and devo-
ton was fairly studded with seminaries
and schools of learning, when Ireland's
sons went forth to the distant part OF
the globe to impart Christianity and
learning to every tribe, and when the
different nations Of Europe sent their
sons to her shamrock shore to re-
celve that knowledge which they were
unable to give them at home, and it
brought him back in spirit as well to
the alas saddened hour when the rude
invader came, RACED to the ground Irish
inconsistencies and colleges, placed a ran
som upon the head Of the monk and
sch DOL master, and sent the sons of Ire
land adrift upon the earth to be the
hewers of wood and drawers of water
for the nations Of the world. The Sex
ton literary institute would proudly
uphold in our midst the proud tribute
of which Erin of yore bore as the island
of scholars. The speaker paid a glow
ing tribute to the literary talent Of him
after whom the organization was called
and called upon the members to work
strenuously to bring the organization
to the proud position to which it was
pre-eminently entitled.
