JOSeDh GuibOrd.

VVcSP"
The Montreal Witness gives us an au.
thentic account of Guibord:
Joseph Guibord was French
Canadian Roman Catholic of distin-
guished piety and fidelity to the doctrines
of his Church, and of excellent moral
character. He was a printer, and for
thirty-six years was in the employ of the
late Louis Perrault, and later of Louis
Perrault & Sons. Guibord was a man
of more than ordinary ability. When
the catechisms and hymns for the use
of the Indians in the Northeast were
published, PAbbe Garin, among others
in charge of the mission, consulted
Guibord IS to the best mode of putting
the Indian language into type, and OF
forming the matrices. Although the
Indian language was entirely unknown
to him, Guibord undertook the difficult
task of putting these works into print,
and accomplished it so we'll that for ten
years he furnished the Roman Catholic
mission in the Northeast with the cate
chisms and hymns for the use of the
Indians. In recognition of these services,
PAbbe Garin and his coadjutors were
accustomed to bring Guibord some of the
finest mink and otter skins that could be
obtained in the Northwest. When
visiting Montreal, Guibord was one OF
the first whom pAbbe Garin, Bishop OF
Anemour, and others, called upon, and
the illusions of sentiment that passed
b tween them gave no promise that the
pious and simple-hearted printer would
in future become the object of the
anathemas of his Church.
Guibord was not one of the founders
of the Institute Canadien, but became q
member thereof two or three years after
its establishment. When the Institute
fell under the displeasure of the Bishop
for refusing to throw out of its library
certain books that were placed in the
Index at Rome, Guibord was one ol
about two hundred members who
persisted in maintaining their connection
Herewith, and who appealed to Rome
against the Bishop. Guibord died
suddenly on the 18th of November, 1869
but three or four weeks previous, whe
seriously i'll, he sent for a priest, who
came and heard his confession. The
priest, acting under direct instructions
from the Bishop, refused to administer
to him extreme JUNCTION unless he would
withdraw from the Institute, which
Guibord declined to do. He rallied from
that sickness, but his death, when it sub
sequently occurred, was 80 sudden that
he had no time to send for a priest. A
few days before his death, Guibord met
one of his fellow-members of the Institute
in the street, and asked him what was
the news about their appeal to Rome
The answer was that no news had YET
arrived, but the Institute hoped that
Justice would be done them. al hope 80

What Files do.

An English chemist named Emerson
publishes in the Scientific american the
result of his observations with flies, with
which he has experimental. If what he
reports is truthful there should be more
kind-hearted Uncle Tobys to acknowledge
the debt we owe these little insects. Did
you ever watch a fly who has jut alighted
after soaring about the room for some
little time2 He goes through series of
operations which remind you of GOV
licking herself after meal, or of bird
pluming its feathers. First the hind
feet are rubbed together, then each hind
leg is passed over q wing, then the four
legs undergo like treatment; and lastly,
if you look sharp, you will see the in.
sect carry his proboscis over his legs and
about his body as far as he can reach.
The minute trunk is perfectly retractile,
and it terminates in two large lObes,
which you can see spread out when the
insect begins meal on lump of sugar,
Now, the rubbing together of legs and
wings may be soothing operation, but
for what purpose is this carefully going
over the body with the trunk, especially
when that organ is not fitted for licking,
but simply for sucking and grasping up
food. On placing the fly under the
microscope, to the investigators disgust,
it appeared covered with lice. Mr..
Emerson concluded that here was some
thing which at once required looking
into. Why were flies lousy? The fly
seemed to take his position very coolly,
and extending his proboscis, began to
sweep it over his body as if he had just
alighted. glance through the micro
scope, however, showed that the opera
ton was not of Standardization, for
wherever the lice were the trunk went.
The lice disappeared into the trunk, and
the fly was eating them. He took the
paper into the Kitchen and waved it
around, taking care that no flies touched
il, and went back to the microscope and
there found animalcules, the same as on
flies. He had now arrived at something &
definite; the animalcules were floating
in the air, and the quick motions OF
the flies gathered them on their bodies,
and the flies then went into some quiet
corner to have their dainty meal. The
investigator goes on describing how he
continued the experiment in variety OF
localities, and how, in dirty and bad
smelling quarters, he found the myriads
of flies which existed there literally COW
cred with animalcules, while other flies,
captured in bedrooms, or ventilated, clean
apartments, were miserably lean and en-
tirely free from their prey. Wherever
filth existed, evolving germs which
might generate disease, there were flies
covering themselves with minute organ
isms and greedily devouring the same.

VOLUME iii.
ADDRESS TO A WIFE.

lThomas Haines Bayly was, In the early part I
the present century, q successful song-writer ii
poems were greatly esteemed. Destined for th
Church, he studied for some time at Oxford, but u
support. His latter years were marked by misfol
tune, under the pressure OF which he addressed th
following beautiful verses to his wife,:
Oh hadst thou never shared my fate,
More dark that fate would prove,
My heart were truly desoate
Without tiny soothing love.
But thou hast suffered for my sake,
Whilst this relief found,
Like fearless lips that strive TO take
Thepoison from wound.
My fond affection thou hast seen,
Then judge OF my regret,
To think more happy thou hadst been
II We had never met.
And has that thought been shared by theeY
All, mol that smiling cheek
Proves more unchanging love for me
Than labored words could speak.
But there are true hearts which the sight
or sorrow summons forth;
Though known In days Of past delight,
We know not half their worth.
How unlike some who have professed
So much In friendships name,
Yet calmly pause to think how best
They may evade her claim.
But ah ! from them to thee turn,
They'd make me lOathe mankind,
Far better lessons may learn
From thy more holy mind.
The love that gives charm to home
feel they can not take;
Well pray for happier years to come
For one anOthers sake.

THE BRIDGE OF LIFE.


Across the RAPID stream of seventy years,
The slender bridge OF human life is thrown:
The past and future form Its moldering piers;
The present moment Is its frail keystone.
From "dust thou art" the arch begins TO rise,
"To dust the fashion OF Its form destends:
"Shalt thou RETURN" the highest curve implies,
In which the first 10 the last lowness bends.
Seen by youths magic light upon that arch,
How lovely does each far-off scene appear!
But ah! how changed when on the onward march,
Our weary footsteps bring the vision near!
Twas tabled that beneath tsc rainbow's foot
treasure lay, the dreamer to bewitch;
And many wasted in the vain pursuit
The golden years that would have made them rich.
So where life's arch Of many colors leads,
The heart expects rich wealth Of Joy to find:
But In the distance the bright hope recedes,
And leaves cold gray waste of care behind.
sunlit stream upon its bosom takes
TIL inverted shadow of bridge on high.
And thus the arch In air or water makes
One perfect circle to the gazer's eye.
So tits with life; the things that do appear
As heeting shadows on times passing tide
Cast by the sunshine Of higher sphere
From viewless things that changelessfy abide.
The real is but the half of life; 1t needs
The ideal TO make perfect whole;
The sphere Of sense Is Incomplete, and pleads
For closer union with the sphere of soul.
All things Of use are bridges that conduct
To things of faith, which gives them truest WORTH;
And Christs own parallels TO us instruct
That heaven but the counterpart Of earth.
The pier that rests upon this shors's the same
As that which stands upon the further bank;
And fitness for our duties here will frame
fitness for the joys of higher rank.
Oh dark were life without Heavens sun to show
The likeness of the other world in this;
Ana l,or md vnt1ld hon hxaln
without the shadow of world of bliss.
Then let us, passing DER life's fragile arch,
Regard IL as means, and not an end;
As but the path of faith on which we march
To where all glores of our being tend.

MINOR TOPICS.

The number of marriages celebrated
in Paris during the last five years shows
a marked increase for 1872, 1873, and
1874. In 1870 and 1871 the war natur-
ally caused diminution. In the former
year the number during the twelve
months, was 12,29S. In 1872, however,
despite the fact that the war and the
Commune had reduced the population
by 25O, 900 inhabitants the marriage total
rose to 1888; 1873, 1880 unions oc-
CURED, and last year 1892.

adequate. She built up the character slowly.
and without points. She was unconven-
tional in everything. She spoke the words
with profound sincerity and perfect intelli-
gence. Her smile was full of sunshine. Her
voice was extraordinarily sweet. The moral
altitude to which she rose was never in the
least artificial. She seemed goodness per-

grace. In carriage of the body she was like
an impetuous girl. In gesture she was so
easy that her gestures could only be noted
by the unfortunate professional eye that is
doomed to see everything.

Too long in the field: the night is near:
I've nice, sweet hay
Slowed snug away:
Come hither, my pets, and taste the 1are-
Close by the hedge, young lads peeping
Slyly out through the hawthorn, rows:
Little he needs the milch-cows creeping
Up from the field where the clover grows.
Warily spying,
Dreamtly signing,
The blush on his cheeks the love-tale tells:
Watching the maid
From the hedge-shade,
The heart in his bosom throbbingly sweIls.
Snug in the shed the maid is milking,
Sitting low down on her three legged STOOL,
Smiling bright at the heartless jilting
Given to Robin last night at school.

How would il be

over the wicket, drearily creaking,
Robin is leaning; in n low sigh,
Faint as an echo, the words he's speaking,
Pass 10 the maiden, "a last goodbye"
He's surely leaving
Her bosom, heaving,
Teileth In silence her sorrowing heart;
Still not word
From her lips heard:
Thus do the maid and her young lover part.
The cows are coming, the maid is calling,
The bird of time has rapidly flown;
Roses are dead, ana leaves are falling,
Winter has mounted the seasons throne.
Wariy spying,
Drearily signing,
There's nobody now by the hedge In the lane:
For life she'll mourn
Her lovers RETURN

HER PICTURE.

Autumn was cold in Plymouth town:
The wind ran round the shore,
Now softly passing up and down,
Now wild and fierce and fleet,
Wavering overhead,
Moaning in the narrow street
As one beside the dead.
The leaves of wTInkled gold and brown
Fiuttered here and there,
But not quite needless where;
For as in good and sad-hued gem
The Rose of Plymouth tOCF the air
They whirled and whirlsd and fell 10 rest
Upon her gentle oreast
Then ON the hae9y earth her foot had pressed.
Autumn ls wild In Plymouth town,
Barren and bleak and cold,
And still the dead leaves fiutter down
AS the years grow old.
And still-fOrever graveiv fair
Beneath their Etful whirl,
New Englaud's sweetest girl,
Rose Standlsh, ts.kes the air.

the denunciatory passages Mr.. Morris turned

phatic gesilculations. Through the whole
speech from first to last, Mrs. Beecher kept
her eyes fixed steadily on the speaker.
