The Massacre OF st. Bartholomew.

The London Times, in a recent arti-
Gle on sermon on St. Bartholomew's
Day, by Dean Stanley, remarked: :
1--WE certainly should be surprised to
find any Roman Catholic, except one
liberal to laxity, ready to admit also
that the act (massacre of St. Bartholo-
new was even crime or a mistake. "
Upon this Sir George Bowyer writes {:
"No one can accuse me of being q Ro-
man Catholic liberal to laxity, but do
most distinctly assert that the act in
question was with q crime and mis-
take, and could name many, both
clergy and laity, who hold the same
opinion. Nothing can be pleaded in
extenuation of the guilt of tt.at crime
except that past events should be judg-
ed by the principles and opinions of
the times when they happened, and not
by those of our OWN time. Allow me
only to add, that assuming (though
this has been denied and controverted)
that the Pope of that day sanctioned
the massacre, the doctrine of infalli
bllity is not involved nor brought into
question; for by the degree of the late
Council the Pope Is infalllble only
when teaching dogmatically er cathe-
dro, and deciding questions of faith
and mOrals.n

OctOber's Song.

O deep brown eyes," sang gay October,
"Dcep brown eyes running over with & Ice
Blue eyes arc pale, aud gray eyes arc sober;
Donny brown eyes aro the eyes for me.
Black eyes shine in the glowing summer
With rod OF roses and yellow Of corn;
But cold they close when the still late conner,
Silvery frost, crecl,s over the morn.
Blue eyes simmer with angel glances,
Like spring violcts over the lea
But oh, my grapes, my wines, and my dances,
What have angels in common with me?
Go, Gray Eyes! What know yc OF laughing,
Giddy with glec from the mere sunshine?
Go to your booksl What know ye of quaffing
Luscious juice from the riotous vine?
All the earth is full of frclicking;
Growing is over harvest is done;
All the trees are ready for rolllcking,
Glowing scarlet with rustical fun.
Stay, Brown Eyes. in the purple weather,
A crown of oak leaves with maple blent
Shall deck your brow, while daily together
We two will wander 10 hearts content"
Thus October's voice was singing,
While on his pipe he ounningly played;
All the red woo!s with music were ringing,
And Brown Eyes listened, with footsteps
stayed
Waited to hear the songs beguiling,
Listened aud laughed through the sunny day;
And earth and ky fell to merry smiling,
And hand in hand they wandered away.

miles above the lake as many as half

A Mantle OF Bees-and no Sting,

A French paper, the Independence
de lEst, relates that at q village near
Florenvllle CLuxembourg), a gentle
man walking along the side of wood
saw some bees swarming on strag-
Cling branch of an oak tree. He went TO
fetch a hive, and returned with wood
cutter named Guiot, who climbed the
tree, and sitting astride of the branch,
cut off the extremity OF it, upon which
the swarm hung. An unexpected re-
suit followed; instead of falling to the
ground, the swarm dispersed, and,
rising like whirlwind, settled on the
head of tie unlucky Guiot, who was
still sitting on the branch forty-five
from the ground. The bystanders
shnddered. Surely, they thought, he
will be seized with giddiness, and tor.
tured by thousand stings, he must
fall to the ground! But Guiot called
up all his strength of mind and re
mained perfectly still till the swarm
had formed two long wreaths hanging
from his temples, and waving az he
moved then, half blinded by the in,
sects, which also covered his face and
body, he contrived to descend from his
elevated position, taking the greatest
care not to irritate this living mantle
When he arrive Il on terra frnau hive
was placed on his shoulder, but tlre,
hours elapsed before the bees woult
take possession of their new home
When this happy change was effected
the poor woodcutter's wild delight tes
titled to the intensity of the anxiety nnt
discomfort he had endured.

distinctly. His step made q noise on
the gravel walk. A bright, beautiful
face glanced out of the window and
vanished-a light footstep was heard
and Mary came tripping forth to meet
us; she was in a pretty rural dress of

her cheek, her whole countenance

Price If Meat in London.

A great agitation is going on now in
London about the high price Of meat.
The democratic and trade societies Of
London have been constantly holding
meetings in Trafalgar square to con-
sidcr what steps should be taken to
prevent a continuance of the grievance,
and the general conclusion is, that it's
principal cause is the game laws. In
Scotland, especially, large tracts Of
herds of cattle have been turned into
deer f'rests and grouse moors. An
agitation has there been begun in Lon
don against these laws, having Ut its
head the newly-formed Anti Game Law
League (of whiel, Mr.. P. A. Taylor, NJ.
p, is Presldent). In all probability,
at all elections for some time to come,
this question will be one of those upon
which the contest will be fought. The
League has already made Its influence
felt in the recent election at Preston.

Boucicault's New Drama.

Mr.. Dion Boucicault's new specta.
cular drama, "Babil and Bijou," is
having 1 great run at Convent Garden,
London. The author says it is intend
ed to represent the revolutions of this
age in poetry and art; but the audiences,
which applaud tor tive hours the
five acts and eighteen "spectacles |" of
which the play consists, probably
trouble themselves: little about any
meaning that may underlie the gor-
geous panorama. The music, written
BY Herve, Clay, Revirie aud. Sir Jules
Benedict, is, of course: good, and what
acting there is is we'll done. The mag.
nificence of the appointments may be
seen from the care taken in few minor
details. The armor of the Knights is
made of electroplate, at cost OF
81, 600; IN the fern scene " the ferns
are of floss silk and in the "orchar.1
scene the many fruits are fashioned
of wax. As everything of this sort
seems to pay, we SHALL probably, ere
many years, rival the barbaric magnl6
cence of the spectacles exhi oited by
the later Emperors of Rome.
