Mr. Sillar-l wru-s: " j "It is a recognized fact that. th tiin-sT tj )!fj Irish airs obtained their just anpr -iation fr.)ni a sense of their intrinsic merit than from th-;r Mn:..n I with lyrics which seized on th popular attor.'ion- and thus it was that Moore saved thm from k-s;ratial tion.

"Tom Moore was placed in circumstan most i adverse to the cultivation of independence. lie was ' poor. He had to procure, by continuot:.-? eff.-n, ta comforts of existence. He moved anion .-t wealthy and the great, many of whom hrvl s-:r,-; attachment to and would have been happy 'o yiy l his wants.

He loved his relau-.o; vr.x a devoted affection, which might have prom:;.-d ar.y I sacrifice, to elevate them and advance their interns. ; I Briefly, he had the amplest opportunity of ,om. 'f. manding a profitable dependence, and the stronger, tenintattons to cdidIov them. But he ret'usH. h endured his poverty and preserved his honor. h lived and died a self-relying, self-respecting Irishman, and left to posterity an example of indep ndvu, 0 which has not had many parallels. "What is Moore's position in the scale of Kni.- poets? Judged by the circulation of his works, ht must be reckoned among the half-dozen wrirrs of verse who enjoy the chief hold on popular favor." 1 4 In connection with the Thomas Moore memorial, the most interesting proposition is that the remains f of Moore be brought home to Ireland. The lmblia Freeman recalls that there are many notable prooe- dents in the bringing home of the body of O'Con- nell from Genoa; of Terence Belle w MacManus from j San Francisco; of Smith O'Brien from Wa!s; of j Curran and Farnell from England; of Gavan Duff; i from France, and of Father O'Growney from Arizona. Of course none of these had remained so Ion? h foreign soil as Moore, and some of them were not interred at all until they were brought to Ireland, but still it is fortunately practicable in the case of Moore, and would be an eminently appropriate tri- , bute to the remains of the great Irishman. ? The thoughtful address of the Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte to the graduates of the University of Notre Dame this year ha3 been issued in neat pamphlet form under the title: "Some Duties and Responsibilities Responsibili-ties of American Catholics." A loyal Catholic and a man of large experience In the public service. Mr. Bonaparte' has enjoyed some peculiar advantages for the study of hi3 subject, and is thus able to impart unusual freshness to the treatment of it. He is a plain speaker as well as a careful observer, yet tho quality most discernible in the discourse is moderation modera-tion "sweet reasonableness." One does not commonly com-monly look to a serious speech for luxurious reading more especially in the hot months; but Mr. Bonaparte Bona-parte measures his phrases so nicely and colors thm o delicately as to make the reading a delight, even in dog-days.

A Maynooth student "with the ingenuous audacity auda-city of youth" once wrote to Cardinal Newman re- questing some hints on the writing of sermons, ana . with characteristic kindness Newman replied. The f letter has been carefully treasured, of course; but , was never published until Monsig. Gerald Molloy of- ierea a copy or it, wmcn ne naa Deeu Fiumi,-make, Fiumi,-make, , to the first -number of St. Peter's Magazine. The hints were these: 1. A man should be in earnest by which I meaa he should write not for the sake of writing, but to bring out his thoughts. 2. He should never aim at being eloquent. 3. He should keep his idea in view, and should write sentences over and over again till he has ex- 1 pressed his meaning accurately, forcibly, and in words. , . 4. He should keep his idea in view, and shouw hearers or readers. . 5. He should use words which are likely to o? understood. Ornament and amplification will come spontaneously in due time, but he should never seen, them. hi G. He must creep before he can fly by which mean that humility, which i3 a great Christian virtue, vir-tue, has a place in literary composition. 7. He who is ambitious will never write well: ut he who tries to say simply what he feels and things, what religion demands, what "faith teaches, what the Gospel promises, will be eloquent without intending it, and will write better English than if he made a study of EnglisTt literature. . It is not only seminarists and young priests wn will find these suggestions helpful. The substance or them comes near being the unteachable secret 0 good writing, remarks Ave Maria.
