Our great colleges all had small begin
nings, and some OF them had pretty hard
beginnings, as the following ancient rom
iniscenco Of our first university shows:
At first it was truly school only and
was taught by one Nathaniel Eaton, a
scholar Of most disreputable memory who
was discharged by the general court for
"cruel and barbarous beating Of Mr.. Ma
thaniel Briscoc and for other negleoting
and Inisusing Of his scholars, y a sentence
Of the most righteous nature.
This brutal man had rule that che
would not give over correcting until he
had suhduod the party to bis VIII, and
in this exercise he used, on one occasion at
least, as Governor winthrop tells us "a
cudgel which was walnut tree plant, big
enough to have killed horse, and yard
in lcngth.
Bua this was not all, for although the
pupils paid him well for their dict it
was ordinarily nothing but porridge and
pudding, "and that very homoly," and
his 1gife denied them butter and cheese
and beer bciwixt meals.

It is a sacred maxim, handed down from
age to age by the successors Of st. Peter,
that whatever spiritual or temporal powers
have once been placed within their hands
shall be kept intact and unimpaired. They
do not admit defeat. What they do not
possess do factO they at least possess dc
juru. If they have lost the substance, they
retain the shadow, and if their earthly
Kingdom has been fllched that loss, they
say, will only be continued for a season,
until that brighter day returns when all
shall be restored. Tho Holy Catholic
church, it is said, can afford to stand and
wait. An all seeing Providence will give
her the victory at last. In the belief Of all
true Catholics it is as certain that she will
eventually triumph as that the sun will
rise again.
Meanwhile, though she never hastes
she never rests and she presses on her
claims with persistency which, if often
silont, never flags. They AFRO pushed I'M
coasingly from hour to hour, from day to
day, from year to year, and if the outside
world can forget them or deride them tho
government of King Humbert never can.
1t has to face an unsleeping foe whom no
good will can ever conciliate or appease,
whose claims are incapable of compromise.
Both demand as to right to rule in the
city of the Caesars, and the victory Of ono
side means the inevitable and enduring
humiliation of the other So is waged the
bloodless but unequal war. Yet, though
the occupation of the Quirinal is securely
based on force, the Vatican has weapons
in her arsenal of a less material kind with

Now, what are the safeguards Of young
menu The first safeguard Of which 1 want
to speak is a love of home. There are
those who have no idea of the pleasures
that concentrate around that word
"home." Perhaps your early abode was
Swallowed with vice or poverty Harsh
words and petulanoe and scowling may
have destroyed all the sanctity of that
spot. Love, kindness and self sacrifice.
which have built their affairs in SO many
abodes, were strangers in your fathers
house God pity you, young man. You
never had a homo. But Il multitude in
this audience can look back to a spot that
they can never forget. 1t may have been Il
lowly roof but you cannot think of it now
without a dash Of emotion. You have seen
nothing on earth that SO stirred your soul.
A stranger passing along that place might
see nothing remarkable about it, but oh J
how much it means TO you. Fresco on
palace wall docs not mean 50 much to you
as those rough hewn rafters. Parks and
bowers and trees at fashionable watering
place OF country seat do not mean SO much
to YOU as that brook that ran in front of
the plain farmhouse and singing under
the weeping willows. Tho barred gateway
swung open by porter in full dress does
not moan as much TO you as that swing
gate, your sister on ono side Of it and you
on the other. She, gone 10 years ago into
gloryl That scene coming back to you TO
day as you swept backward and forward
on the gate singing the songs Of your
childhood But there are those here who
have their second dwelling place. II is
your adopted home. That also is sacred
for ever There you established the first
ali
born. In that room tapped the wing Of
the death angel Under that roof, when
your work Is DONE you expect to lie down
and die. There is only one word in all the
language that can convey your idea Of that
Place, and that word is home"
Now, lot me say that I never knew a
man who was faithful to his early and
adopted homo who was given over at the
same tima 90 any gross form Of wicked
hess. If you find more enjoyment In the
clubroom, IL the literary society, in the
art salon, than you do IL these unpretend-
ing home pleasures, you are on the road to
ruin. Though you may be cut of from
your carly associates, and though you may
be separated from all your kindred, young
man, is there not "a room somewhere that
you can call your ownf Though it be the
fourth story Of third class boarding
house, into that room gather books, pic
lures and harp. Hang your mothers
portrait over the mantol. Bid unholy
mirth stand back from that threshold.
Consecrate some spot in that room with
the knee of prayer. BY the memory Of
other days, a fathers counsel, a mothers
love and a sisger's confidence, call it home.
A Prime Virtue.
Another safeguard for these young men
is industrious 3it. There are a great

fire had been lindlcd and a candle
burned dimly, but not so dimly that he

Good night" replied Adams, me

vanished into the pale summer night,
where their measured tread gradually
died away into silence.
