In vain they strove to fee their native land;
In vain, while yet spark Of hope remained,
They stood, patriotic few. ya|ttt @
Oh! bloodiest picture on the book of time! ~
The brave and gallant Chenier came, ..
A martyr TO the Goddess freedoms shrine;
Honored by friends aad foes without crim'
To stain the honor Of his name.
lie fought and bled that Canada might be
Happy and blessed like this fair land,
With wealth, commerce, and with liberty,
Respected as nation, great and free,
As other countries proudly stand.
Up Frenchmen, up! awake from your trance
And onward to the bloody field.
Up, for revenge! abandon the gay dance;
On to the fight the bayonet and lance
For bloody retrlbution WELD

JEAN OLIVER CHENIER was born, we
think, in 1906, in the parish OF Longueuil,
in the county of Chambly, nearly oppo-
site the lower end of the city Of Montreal.
or his earlier years, we know but little.
He wasa young boy ofabout l. years, when
DR.. Kimber of the city of Montreal took
him under his protection. He discovered
that this young man was possessed OF su-
perior intellectual faculties. and strong
inclination for learning. The Doctor
began to cultivate his mind, but his
means would not allow him to be sent
TO college TO finish his classical studies.
Night and day this young man was seen
steadily pursuing his studies. Unlike
other boys be had no leisure hours for
play. When his application and progress
were such as to warrant il, he was admit
ted to the study Of medicine. Having
completed his studies in the different med
ical branches with his protector DR.. Kim
her. he was admitted TO practice on the
9Th Feb. 1923, and settled at ST. Benoil
in the county of Two Mountains, where
his abilities aud his pleasing manners
procured him an extensive business.
On the Goth Sept. 1881, he married the
daughter Of the calculated Dr.. Lsbrie oil
