A Roman Catholic Joke,

One OF the cleverest of our pen-women, who
is Roman Catholic tells the following as hav-
ing occurred at convent school near here
doubtless at Georgetown: An ecclesiastic cele-
brated for his eloquence came to give Re-
treat-the name given to period of days, gen.
orally three, during which devout souls spend
their time in listening to sermons, reading pi-
GUS books and meditating on the duties of life
here and the rewards of eternity-and opened
the ceremonies with sermon ON the rule of
life; attention looked from every face, until,
in speaking of one particular thing, he said,
"You must never-that is hardly ever,,' when
broad smile flashed over the church, he was
surprised, but continued, and in a few mo-
ments repeated the unfortunate sentence; re-
pressed giggle rippled from the benches to his
offended ears, and he stopped until the silence
was intense, then he said, 81 did not come here
to be insulted, nor can I see what there is
amusing in the text 1 have chosen. my
children, do you know that in your needless
ness you laugh at sacred words? Yes, He Him
self hath said it''-but he got no further lust
then, for the merry-hearted young things to
whom he spoke gave no thought to anything
but the memories awakened by the familiar
words, and one unlucky girl was marched out
Of church, shaking with laughter as she went.
The ecclesiastic highly-and from his stand
point, properly-incensed, closed his sermon
soon after and sent for the Mother Superior

French Funds

In France, as is well known, investment in
the funds has been brought within the reach of
the very lowest. So long ago as the first wear
OF Louis Philippe's reign the first step was ta-
ken in this direction. The nomenclature of
the French debt, we may here mention, differs
altogether from ours. Whereas we talk of a
hundred or thousand pounds of consols,
meaning so much capital standing to the credit
of the holder in the books of the Bank of Eng
land, the French talk of 3 francs or 30 francs
OF rentes, meaning SO much interest payable
by the State to the holder. In 1881, the
amount of rentes purchasable was reduced to
e., and by successive later reductions it was
brought down nine yeare ago, to thtee francs,
or little under crown. The per cents.
have been steadily rising in the market since
the restoration of order; but even now the
price OF such an annuity is only about gum
cas-. Purchases, too, can be made in France
without the employment of broker, and even
without the payment of commission. The
highest sum that depostor'c can have in saw
ings bank at one time is f40. When that is
exceeded, if the depositor does not himself in
vest 1t, the savings banks authorities buy
rentes IN IN his name, and credit the amount to
him. They will also buy, at the request of
depositor, without charge. In the provinces.
the Receivers-General and their deputies pur.
chase for the public. 1t will be seen that ia
cilities of all kinds are given for investment.
and the large loans which have been issued
since the war have afforded opportunities, for
all who desired to do so, to invest in a security
as good as the credit of the country itself. The
discredit into which foreign loans have fallen
strongly induced the public to seize the oppor-
tunity, and, accordingly, we find that the
French debt is now chiefly held at home-The
Saturday ReUielc.

SVdneV DObell.

Doubtless to some readers the very name Of
Sydney Dobell is unfamiliar. To all students of
modern poetry it is, of course, more or less
known as that of one of the chief leaders of the
school of verse known as "the Spasmodic."
With Philip James Bailey and Alexander
Smith, Dobell reigned for lustrum, to the
great wonder and confusion of honest folk,
who pinned their faith ON Tennyson's "Gar-
dener's Daughter" and Longfellow Psalm Of
Life" His.day of reign was that of Gilfllan's
Literary Portraits" and of the lurid appar-
ition, Stanian Bigg; of the marvellous mono
logue, and the invocation without an end; of
The resurrection of drama that never lived,
to hold high jinks and feasting with a literary
Mycerinus who was about to die. 1t was a pc
riod of poetic incandescence; new suns, not yet
spherical whirling out hourly before the pub
lie gaze, and vanishing instantly into space, to
live on, however, in the dusky chronology of
the poetic astronomer, Gilfllan. The day
passed, the school vanished. Where is the
school now?
''Where are the SHOWS of yesteryear?''
Yet they who underrate that school know little
what real poetry is. 1t was chaos, granted; |;
but a chaos capable, under certain conditions
of being shaped into such creations as would
put to shame many makers of much of our
modern verse. AS it is, we may discover in
the writings of Sydney Dobell and his circle
solid Jumps of pure poetic ore, of quality
scarcely discoverable IN modern literature this
side of the Elizabethan period.-Robert Bu-
chanan, in Temple Bar.

Who Wrote ''Wuthering Heightsq"

Mr.. Grundy states, and we have no doubt
thathis memory is perfectly correct. that Pat
rick Bronte told him that he wrote great por-
ton of ''Wuthering Heights" and that he in
ferred that the whole plot was Patrick's. 1t is
to be hoped that no critics of the sensational
school will allow themselves to be deceived by
this statement That the great and tragic novel
in question was the work of one single writer,
and that writer was the same passionate and
Titanic genius who wrote the poems signed by
Emily Bronte, no sane critic can FOR
moment doubt, nor should we waver
if a hundred asseverations to the con-
trary were forthcoming. 1t would have been
impossible for the weak and vicious Patrick
with all his versatility, and his flashes of bril-
liancy, to write those successive scenes of con-
centrated force with which, as with plates
ringing metal, Emily Bronte constructs her
sonorous romance. "Wuthering Heights was
wretched verses Mr.. Grundy quotes are char
acteristic of her brothers feebleiand fluctuate-
ing talent. His statement that he wrote the
greater portion of "Wuthering Heights" will
be instantly rejected by any one who considers
the purely conversational and social nature of
his gifts, and the sullen integrity of Emily's
character. She would not have endured for
moment to be called the author of book
which she had no claim to consider hers. The
only trace that Patrick Bronte has left in liter
ature, it is to be feared, must be looked for in
the gloomy pages of his ssterAnne's study in
alcoholic pathology-The AthenRum
