Not long since there came to n priest
In Connecticut, in whose parish are
number of French Canadians, a man
who wished to arrange for his approach
ing marriage, and the priest, who did
not recognize him, asked his name.
"My-glory-by-night," replied tho
man, with every appearance of good
faith.
He did not speak English very flu
emily and the priest supposed that no
must have misunderstood.
Your name, / snid," he repeated.
what IN your name?"
MY glory by-night," tho man said
again.
You can't have such n name rs
that" the priest said; somebody has
translated it wrongly for you. What il

"Magloiro Bonoit," the man an.
swcrod.
1t was cnsy to see how the extraordi-
nary combination with which the man
announced himself had been come nj.
The good people of Connecticut had
pronounced "Bcnoit" Theoretically, and
translation had done the rest.
