PORTRAIT or THE LATE EA-Gov.
RoYCE.-Mr. George G. Ellsworth of
West Berkshire. has recently painted a
fine portrait Ut the late Hon. Stephen
Royce. l. l. d, which, for accuracy of
expression and real artistic merit, is
worthy of much discriminating practice.
1t is an oval portrait, representing the
bust, in what is known as life size, and
was painted from photograph taken only
few years since. 1t is related that the
Judges friends could never induce him
to SIT to an artist or visit gallery, and the
only way they succeeded in getting this
photograph was by trapping him in the
presence of an artist, who had come pre-
pared, to house where the Judge was
visiting that day. Mr.. Ellsworth's long
acquaintance with him was favorable for
imparting TO the canvass that exactness OF
expression and life-like appearance which
a. photograph does not develop, and he
has done it with masters hand. We
should be. glad to see that portrait hang
in the Executive Chamber at Montpelier,
which was once so honored by the
presence of its distinguished prototype
l.S dNVns Messenger.

rhe Bare.Footed Carmelites Monks
BY REV. NARCISSE CYR.

Many persons, on learning of Fathe
Hyacinthe's connection with this order
have doubtless desired to know NOR
about it than is generally known in thi
country. The following sketch, there
fore, may be interesting 10 such:
The Carmelites claim great antiquity
they pretend to have descended from: th
prophet Elijah. The Jesuits, however
who had great quarrel with them in tn
seventeenth century, denied the claim
maintaining that they could not go fur
ther back than the eleventh century
which certainly would make them an
tique enough for any reasonable purpose
But the Carmelites would not yield the
point, and, after thirty-two years of strife
appealed to Rome. The Pope had the
good sense to declare that the origin o.
the institution was immaterial, and he
ordered them to cease quarreling.
In the account of .his travels in the
Holy Land, John Phocas says that in 1 ls5
he found monks at Mount Carmel, not
far from the cave in which Elijah is said
to have dwell These monks, known un-
der the name Brethren of Notre Dame du
Mont Carmel. were ut first hermits, who
lived in the mountain, praying. ftstin 9
