This is AftsDgsaid familiar to sI the readers Of

NJ. Gay, who bad Known the Bishop in Paris, at
once entered into conversation with hun. A short
tiUs ai:erward, my attention was drawn to the
Fc where they stood, BY loud and angry eAclans
Cons. Two of our Norwegian sssass stood before
De bishop, and one Of them, with face white with
rage vu furiousy vocifcrating: IT is not true
u il not true! Norway is q free country" "In
Ns respect il 10 not free" answered the Bishop
with more GOODNESS than thought be could have
shewn, under such oucumstAnces-"you know
very well that 10 ore can hold Office except those
Who belong 70 your State Church: neither Cstho
He. nor Methodist, NOR Quaker: whereas in
Franco, a. / have ssil, Protestant may even be-

DO hcs believe in the Catholic Fsth--we will have
nothing to DO with it," screened the Norwegian

cabin, for . crowd hal gathered about the dispu-
tAnts, and the deck passengers, pressing aft seemed
moro than usually excited BY what was geing on.
The Norwegian, shaking with fury, Kissed through
his Get teeth: "How dare he come here 10 insult
cur rational feeling" Yes, but every word WIS
true; and the scene was only another illustration Of
che intense vanity Of the NowegiAns in regard to
their country. Woe to the man who says word
