He drove his mil on the shore of Walden

yeara in atudimas retirement. Tbat he
struck solid tine er tkero his book, "Wal-

"Thoreau," wrote Emerson, "dedicated
his genius wlth such entire love to the
fields, hills and waters of his native town
that he made them known Audi:start:sting
to the readers at home and over the sem"
In 1889 he made u voyage down the Con-
cord, out of which journey grew his first
book, "A Week ea the Concord and Mer-
rimac." The book was not a success from
a finauclal point Of Viz; and the publish-
er requested the author to take away the
unsold copies, whleb he did, carrying 700
bona() on his beets and boasting that he
now bad a very respectable library all of
his own writing.
In nuumer and dross Thoreau was a-
centric and is described as looting "emi-
nently sagac'nue, liko a sort of wild beast."
He never went to churoh, never voted and
never paid a tax. Once, when a taxgath-
era called npon bern, rather than pay for
the support of a government whioh he de-
tested, he allowed bin:self to be locked in
jail. Emerson, calling upon him, asked:
"Henry, why are you hare?"
"Why are you not here?" was the reply.
Thoreau was rn unusual mixture of -the
poet, the nafuraliet and the moralist. Be
preached the no se austere, self denying,
stimulating truths. Be was always in
quest of the unattainable, "waiting," as
he said in "Waloen," "et evening on the

Co/teeming what regards in part-n(11er
the Catholics of 'Manitoba, we feel' con-
fident that, God helping, they will suc-
ceed one day In obtaining full aet-
isfaction. This coin -Menet, is based especial-
ly on the goodness of their eanste and also
on thp equity tine wisdom of those who
hold their hand,: the government of the
commonwealth, and finally on the good -will
of all the uptight men of Canada. Mean-
while, until it shall be gratin d them to ob-
tain the triuninit of all their claime, let
them not refuse partial satisfactions.
Wherefore, wherever the law, or the Viet,
or the good dispositions of 'persene offer
them some mane of attenuating the evil,
and of better avoiding Its dangers, It is al-
together becoming and It ls useful that
they make use of such, and that' they de-
rive therefrom the best possible advantage.
Wherever, on the contrary, there would
be no other remedy for the evil, we ex-
hort and beseech them to obviate the same
by an increase of generous liberality. They
can do nothing mere salutary for them-
selves, and more favorable to the prosperity
of their country, teen to contribute to the
maintenance ot dolt schools, according to
the full rneasure of their resources.
There is another point which also calls
fax your joint solleitude•, it is, that by your
authority, and with the concurrence of
those who direct establishments of educa-
tion. tue entire program of studies be
elaborated with cara and wisdom, and that
care be taken that none in admitted to the
office of teueher but men abundantly pro-
Viaed NvIth all the, qualities requisite there-
to; both natural and acquired. For it Is
but fitting that Catholic schools should rival
the most ilouriehing by the excellence
of their methods a training, and by the
splen.dor of their teaching. From the
standpoint of intellectual culture, and
of the progress of civilization, there is
nothing but what is great and noble in the
plan conceived by the Canadian provinces
of developing public instruction, of rais-
ing its standard ever higher, and of thus
making it something greater and more
perfect Now, there Is no kind of Study,
no progress of human knowledge that may
• not fully harmonize with Catholic doctrine.
To explain and to defend all that we have
heretofore said those among Catholics may
powerfully contribute who have devoted
themselves to the labors of the press, and
especially of the deity press. Let them
therefore remember their duty. Let them
defend religiously and with courage what-
ever is truth, right, the Interests of the
• Church and of society, in such a manner,
• that they remain worthy the re:
s ct of persons measured in all things. Let
em be respectful, and show a scrupulous
deference towards Episcopal authority, and
towaxds all lawful power. The more diffi-
cult the times the mare threatening Is the
danger rot division, the more also must they
etudy to Inculcate that unity of thought
and action without Which there is little or
even not any hope of ever obtaining
that which is the object of our common
destires.
As at pledge of the Heavenly gifte, a.nd
of our paternal affection, receive the apart-
tolic benealetion that we most lovingly
grant in the Lord to you, venerable breth-
ren, to your clergy. and to your flocks,

The Delegate's Report.
. And as =my expected us 'to speak on
nite question, and begged ef us to trace
out a line o1 conduct and the course to
pursue, and we were pleased to decide no-
thing in this matter before our apostolic
delegate had been on the snot, charged
with proceeding to a thorough examine,
tion of the situation and with presenting
us a report of the state of matters, Be
has faithfully and zealously fuafilled the
neinclate we had committed to him.
The question agitated is assuredly one
of the greatest importance, and of excep-
tional gravity. We mean the decisions
taken several years ego regarding the
schools by the Parliament of Manitoba.
The act of union of the Canadian Confed-
eration had assured the Catholic children
the right of being educated in Public
schools according to the prescriptions of
their conscience. Now, that right the Par-
liament of Manitoba abolished by a con-
trary law. Such a law is injurious. 'or•

for the boon of instruetion from scbools

tively opeose it,from schools where its
doctrine is despised and its fundamental
prieelples repudiated.
