and we all passed into the saloon, where a
breakfast of coffee, bread, butter, and honey
was being served. Then commented the
hustle of starting for those travellers who
had long journey before them, while the
good Clavandier hustled about with photo
graphs, relics, and rosaries, which he sells
for the benefit OF the house. Most people,
too, wish to see the establishment; and
such he conducts to the interesting library,
where we noticed many portraits of faml-
liar faces, and many books of scientific re-
search and travel, all sent as grateful re-
membranes OF visits to st. Bernard. Then
we went down stairs to the chapel, where
there are fine carvings and interesting pic
lures and relics, and saw the large, low,
vaulted peasants rooms, which, it must be
confessed, looked nasty, and smelt close
and disagreeable then out on to the little
plot of messy grass which is the apology
for a garden, and there at last were intro
duccd to the splendid dogs, who are only
second in interest to the monks themselves.
There were seven of them at the time of our
visit-enOrmous fellows, varying from plain
tan and plain white to many varieties of
the two colors blended. They were per-
fectly amiable, and delighted in being
noticed, rubbing and rearing up against
one with rather violent demonstrations of
affection.

By the time we got bacl. the mules We're

we babe adieu with many thanks and much,
we hope, reciprocal kind feeling, to our ad-
mirable hosts. Long may they have the
health, strength, means, and will to con-
tinue their blessed work of Christian
charity and mercy amid the SHOWS!
1t is one thing to read about place and
another to see it for one self. We had often
heard of the convent and good monks of st.
Bernard, but felt that we had never before
realized the actual life of the place and it's
everyday continuance: now we can hardly
hear the wind bowling and see the snow
falling, from our comfortable home, with
out thinking of those devoted men up on
that wild mountain, engaged in their con-
tinual round of good works and prayer.

THE GED WILL.
by DAVID o'CALLANAN.

Jerome GaythOrn was seated at his desk
he held paper in his hands, which he ap-
peared to read with considerable eagerness.
He was an old man, and whatever hair was
on his bald head was as white as the driven
snow; but his eye was dark and piercing,
and his firm chin indicated vigor of char
acter that there was no installing. OppO-
site him sat his client, watching him
anxiously. On his right stood a stout,
elderly clerk, looking on, with an expression
on his face something like amusement.
"What do you think of it, Mr.. Cay
thorn 2" said the client.
"It seems perfectly fair and accurate"
he answered.
"But, Mr.: Marty, why did not hear of
this before 2"
AS the old man spoke he fixed curious,
inquiring glance upon the gentleman who
sat opposite:
reply, " and 1 only found it there to-day"
GLOW strange this thing is" said the
aged lawyer, "that the eccentric man
Should have djsinherited his own daughter"
"Don't you know the facts ?" said Mr..
@WShat facts ~
"That his wife was a gay, pleasure
seeking woman, and that he doubted her
honor to the last"
~ know nothing of the kind" said the
lawyer; "Charles was my client for twenty
years, and he never whispered word
against his wife's honor. Why he should
have made such a will as this and left his
child penniless, am at loss to under
stand"
81 But 1 have spoken to you the TRUTH"
replied the other.
"Truth or no truth" said Mr.. Gaythorn,
"here is the will, and that is the end of it.
But how that man got that thought into his
head about his wife is to me quite lncon-
ceivable for a truer and better woman 1
never knew. What do you mean to do for
the girl Z"
az will provide for her some way" Mr..
Marty replied, with a very benevolent look.
" will get her the post of nursery govern
ess, or something that way /; but she has no
claim on me, as do not believe her to be
the child of my dear brother"

Church at Colchester, Conn, and c. b.
Holmes, one of his parishioners, occurred
short time since, during which the former
had his watch broken, and the latter lost
