These litlle urchins· preseut the box or ~nge before you with the solicitation, '•plase ~ir, something for the wren.'' Tile meaning is that tf•ey Rre going to . bury the wren and they wish _you to cont1~ihute a share to the ex.peuses ofthe pious work; anti really, if ,ron bad n penny" be, tween you anfl (leath," yo.u could not refuse it for the decentintermentotbis feathered M~jesty. The real objel,t in ..-,iew, though, is to procure some money wherewith to get up a merry-muk ing at night time. In going nbout from house to house they sing:

God, in creating man, placed within him a mind en­dowed with many ennobling and elevating faculties, which in its combination with the material body, forms that grand masterpiece, that most exalted· specimen of workmanship. the human being. Of these many faculties belonging to the mind, and constituting the complicated machinery of which it is made up, there is, perhaps, not one more important, more necessary, and more worthy of deep attention than memory.

In almost every moment of our natural existence no matter in what sphere of life we are moving, w~ are making constant use of this faculty; and it is of the utmost in1portance that we should endeavor, as far as we are able, to have it in a good, healthy, well­ordered, nnd well-cultivated state. On it much will depend. Without its proper training, supposing we are not gifted by nature with one of great powtJr, we can never, as a rule, excel, never rise above the crowd in our journey through life.

.'""''.J't is sai<!l that that whid1 is strmrcd en ·the mem-.•:;ory iR•' ehxldhoocl is o£ longest duration, and we he_

lieve this is so. In the season o£ childhood the imq,gina­tion is n.ntd\ mO!:e fanciful, and the child is guid.ed rather by the i rnagination than by reason or exper­iPnce. We can all well remember, when children, irito what state o£ mind• we 'WOuld be thro'wn when, for instance, we were left alone in a clark room. How we wonld crour·h anrl c~nver throtwh feai· as if the room

0 ' were filled· with hobgoblins and bugbears. We can all recollect how we felt on reading £o1' the first time some fairy tale, or some exciting Indian st.ory. How vivid:ly we could see Sinbad the Sailor tying himself

' te the· roc's. claw, and being cm·tiecl aloft from the ]onely island by the monstrous bird; and again, how we could imagine him being choked almost to death by the oldman of the sea who got astride his back, an•l who wonld have killed him only that 'Sinhad set him drunk How we could fancy ourselves present on the spot. whe1·c l~obiuson Crusoe left p1:ostrate in death the other ;;avag-cs, and captured his faithful Friday. vV ell, j lt>t as the imagination is very active in ehildhoud, so too . the m'emory is then very impress­ionable; an~ this tolhiws as an. actual consequence of the great ini•(ginativeness. o£ youth, for imagination and me'mory il~·e so allied, ancl the btter depends so m u~;h Pti tl'Le former, that when \l'e have a real vivid imagination of something we have of it. <tn undyiug mem:.>ry. Thi~ i ; wh y the memory of childhood is so tenacious; this is ,i·hy we re'11 ember so welL and so elearly , those unhappy occasions, on which the ma­t enal lash of correction was applied, with all that cold and dignified cerenlOllY which clmracterizes such unplea;;ant scenes; thu; it i:o that we rebin so vividly, ~tlld recollect so accurately, what we saw, and heard, and rt>ad Hi childhood. Therefore, we see of ]v)w great importance, am1 how nect>ssary it is, if we wish to have in the mind a b*'ting remembrance o£ anything, to riYet thereon the attentio n, and consequently the imagination, so th<~t the i11itial impression may. make its· mftrk cbep 'and perm a nun t. The !.rue art of memory, s ays Dr .. Johnsvn, i:s the art o£ <Lttention. ··. What is the utili1-y of memory:- The answers to this question are so numerous, and we see so many of them rising up before our mind, "thick U.'l leavfs in Vola1nbrosa," that we hardly know where or how to begin with them. But, let us take the youth at a pri­mary school, and see o£ what use is this faculty to him. If h~ has a good memory he can without much difficulty commit his tasks, and retain the important points, the answt>ring o£ which at an examination will place him first in his class. Years roll on, and we ee 11ina enter cqllege. Before lw can settle down ther·e

he must pass an entrance examination. A Latin or Greek author is placed in his hand; aroi:md t.he table sit half-a-dozen "big guns" deeply v~rsed in classic lore' philosophy, theology, and what not? The solemn ceremony begins; but the ve}·sion is £amiriar, he re­members how the translation runs, the rules· for this mul for that; and he rises unscathed :from the fire­like ordeal, having ·passed through ·with flying colours, to be duly appointed to his place in the College. \•Vatch this same young man during his collegiate course, and you will find him making his mark at the end o£ each year; a~1d when .. at length the final test rolls round , his memory is still standing well by him to the last ; be is victorious, and he is joyful. Keep an eye after him as he works his· way along in the world, as he journeys through life, whether as a preacher, an ad vocate, br whatever else you like, and yon will al­ways see his efforts crowned with success. He will be an honour to himself, and to his friends.

Let us now return to the primary school, and take 'one o£ this young man'~ companions. tl'lere whose memory is a failure, or, at any rate who is lacking in even a mediocre one. \Ve will sl1pgose that though he has a bad memory, nevertheless his reas~lJing powers are good, and he can reason well. Now, in his final ex­amination at the primary school he has £ailed and tail~d woefully, simply because his recollection has failed him, hut in conside1:ation of his sound reasoning abilities his master advises him to take his chance, and enter college; which he does, and we can see him seated at that learned table with a book before him. But, a.las! silence reigns supreme, and all listen with attentive ears to catch the longed for :words. As usual he has forgotten all about the subject at . issue, and his fine reasoning avails him naught. No, not i£ he reasoned as well as Socrates, and distinguished as well as St. Thomas; not even if he could discriminate accurately between the north and the north-west points of a hair. Let him tell the learned faculty around the table that though his memory is bad ~till his powers o£ ratiocination are good, and his judgment sound, and we can just imagine the sarcastic grin that immediately appears on each face. It is of no use. They know well. that depth of. thought~ so1m~ jud~e­ment and intelligence, can ex1st only m umty w1th a cle~r memory, that they go hand in hand, for. it is by it that the vast store-house o£ knowledge and 1deas is being constantly replenished, kept in order, and even in existence. They a;re well aware that all great men had great memories, a1:d that the opposite case is like the angel visits of the nineteenth century. Th~~ is about as far as ever tha~ young man can go, or 1£ he o-oes farther, well , we cannot envy .him his happi­ues~. His will be a hard time.

• NO SEASON is so suggestive of beautiful senti­ments, so replete with lotty ideals, as the beautiful feast of Christmas, which is j nst upon us. If we really entered into the spirit of the day, how fruit­ful would be our meditations. How many do so? How few of us, who have anxiouly awaited the coming of this first of festivals, have pondered seriously on its sublimity~ Yet the day speaks of devotion; love and sacrificb: all that is great and noble in this world. Shall we allow this feast to pass ns as un­concernedly as preceding ones~

VACATION-The Students leave _ the College for home Tuesday Dec. 23rd. Chicago boys leave by spe­'cial ti'ain on the Illinois Central, leaving Kankakee at 7. 30 A. M.

by adverse circumstances, that. does not long for the approach of the queen of festivals and its manifold

· pl'easures? The child who~e reason is justdawningar:d about to take its fiight to the noon-day of intelligence, a>ks in babbling tones, ahout the time when its little heart shall be in ade happy with the bright gifts that come only <Lt this season of the :year. The youth, looks with zest tJwards it, becau::;e he shall he the recipient of speci;tl favors. The old and de01'epit, whose sil verecl hairs be10-peak the journey of many years, is n o less aux.ious for the day on which his c 1p of joy was ever filled to overflowing. He seems to live again his youthful days, and feels as though the evening of life is yet far distant. The stndent, long before, fea:>ts hi:; imagination on the anticipa­t ~on of being again nn ited with the dear ones at home, when , sittillg aronud the family hearth, he listens with boyish eagerness to the venerated tales, which, from tim: im:n 3morial, have entwined the Christmas festintl.

He recall s the mauy favors be-stowed by friends and parents; the fond ,associatious of' :'t.hool-clay compan­io :Js; the gJod old times when he '"as a truant lad, and thought ,of naught, b:tt how to enjoy life to his heart's content. These, indeed, were hal cyon , days ! It was then the heart knew no pain, and old time in his rapid fiight, sped on. unnotlced, by gnilele~s

youth_ Who of-tis that has gwwn to manhood, can­not recall the tiJ1tes when, he leaned upon his moth­et's knee, looketl up at her face, and in all child-like simplicity, asked her, what would Christmas hri{lg

. 11er child? The P'Jor who have not, perhaps, wherewith to clothe

and feed themselves during the ye<Lr, fiqcl eno ugh to gladden their he~rts, and cause them to understand more full y that they are the chosen ones of God, who, has given them on this day, only a taste of the de­lights, of which they are soon to drink to satiety, in the bright hereafter.

On this (lay all na.ture seem:; satl:;!ied, The marts

are crammed :with edibles, and the shop windows sparkle with gift£, destined for young, and old, and Cupid's heart-sick victims. Plenty, the "smiling daughter of peace" fills every home, and the poor man's cabin, is, for at least one day in the ye<Lr, tmnsformecl into a palace.

Many beautiful stories are associated with the feast of Christma,. But there is, especially, one, not indeed a story, but, a reality, the recital of which, should cause every soul to leap for joy. You have often heard it, hut each repetition, grows more interesting· It runneth thus : about nineteen hunch·ed years, back through the vista of ages, on a cheerless December night, some shepherds were keeping vigil over their flocks on a bleak hill near Nazareth. Night mantled the earth. All nature wmppecl in slumbers, was uncon­scious of the glories of the coming dawn. A strange fear began to possess the poor night sentinals; they looked towards H eaven and saw a light more bril­liant than the combined electric forces of the universe, surrounding, with a halo of glory, one of Heaven's choicest inhabitants. And who was he? Gabriel, it is said, Little wonder the shepherds were awe-stricken, for, such is lmman, nature, especially, ":hen the great­est of events had happened. The angel bade them not to fear , and he said to them,-"! announce to you great joy:"a joy 1iotfor them alone, but, for all nations · A stable in Bethlehem sheltered the new born King· Behold the fitness of Gabriel! it was he who first m1-

n6unced the coming of the Savior, when, that most wonderful inscription: "Et verbum caro factum est," was first stamped on the hearts of men. What were the shepherds to do, and whither were they to go, to ''"itness the realization of the glad tidings? The angel pointed towards Bethlehem, and, "as a sign," he said• ' 'you shall find the child wrapped in swaddling clothes.' ' Thither, they hastened, and saw, and adored, the Hedeemer of the world. Their joy was unbounded, when they heard the H e<1venly Halleluiahs resound through t,hat humble abode and thence wafted to all nations·

When we vi.;it .the ch.urch on Christmas morning, we behold the same Infant, and kneel to tt(lore Him; we hear the same Halleluiahs chanted, and th(~ same Venite Adoremuo sung, as did the shepherds of old . With what joy should we not hail the clay on which we received the boon of our salvation! How we should be filled with love and gratitude towards Him who has thus honored, beings so unworthy as we! Yent:te Ado remus then, on Christmas morning, lay our humble o-ifts sentiments of sinleO's souls, at Bethlehem's ~hride, and he who is King of kings will reward us an hundred fold .
