ORIGINAL BIOGRAPHY.

CHARLES OvIDE PERRAULT, the subject
Of the present biography, was one OF those
men who reflected honor upon the country
of his birth. 1t would occupy too much
space in the columns of newspaper TO
enter into the minute details of his politi-
cal life, but we can safely say, that Lower
Canada has lost by his untimely death,
most talented man, powerful writer and
an ornament 10 literature and science.
Mr.. PerrauIt was born in the city OF
Montreal, in 1909, of one Of the most re-
spectacle families in the Province. Du-
ring his classical studies at the college OF
Montreal, he gave convincing proof OF the
possession OF extraordinary intellectual
abilities, which were destined to be made
more conspicuous by his subsequent career.
In 1927, he began the study of the law
with the Hon. d. B. Viger, of Montreal,
and on the Sd of July, 1882, he was ad-
mitted 10 the bar. As lawyer, his prac-
tice was very considerable, and the strict
~ honorable conduct which characterized
his professional dealings seemed 10 win the
respect and confidence of his employers.
During the election Of the West Ward
Of the city of Montreal, in the Spring oil
1892, lie was an active supporter OF Mr..
Tracey, the popular candidate, and when
the troops fred upon the people, his lie
and that Of some other conspicuous reior-
mers, was thereby placed in imminent dan
ger; fortunately they escaped unhurt. On
the s0th April, 1884, he attended public
meeting of the Freeholders of the parish
Of St. Marguerite de Blairfndie, in the
county of Chambly. This meeting had
been called to take into consideration " the
state of the Province" and more particular
" the 90 Resolutions which had passed
the House of Assembly, the month OF
February previous. His speech was a
most powerful effort, carrying conviction
TO the minds OF all, Of the numerous griev.
ances of which the Assembly complained
A number of the reformers OF the county
Of L'Acadie were present at that meeting
and so highly pleased were they with the
candid and iorcible manner in which Mr.
P. expressed his sentiments, that com,

PIT DOWN THE TYRANTs !

They never fail who die in great cause;
The block may soak their gore,
Their heads may sodden in the sun-ther limbs
be strung 10 city gates
And castle walls. but still their spirit walks abroad
Though years elapse, and others share as dark q
doom,
Il but auFmenis the deep and sweeping thought
Which a'ernowers ~ others, aEd which conducts
The world Of last to freedom. BYRON.
