A Brave Priest.

liable Mouly, the only priest who re-
ceived the decoration of the Legion of
Honor on the occasion of July IA, will Ger
tainly not be grudged the distinction con-
ferred upon him even by the most hard.
ened enemy of the church. He is, in fact,
one of those heroic, self sacrificing work
ers who in every nation and every cline
earn the unbounded admiration and re-
spect of their fellow creatures. Liable
Mouly, who is now in his fifty fourth year,
served for long period as military chap
lain in various French possessions. The
worthy priest was acting in this capacity
at Guadeloupe during the Mexican cam
paign, and all the French transports
touched there on their way home from the
seat of war.
A terrible epidemic of yellow fever broke
out among the garrison of 800 men, as
many as twenty-five and thirty deaths oc-
curing daily All the doctors and the
Sisters of Mercy were carried off by the
pestilence, and for three weeks the heroic
priest was alone in ministering to the sick.
In consequence of his meritorious conduct
the able was recommended for the Legion
of Honor, but his nomination was pre-
vented by the events of 1870. While at
Guadeloupe he also distinguished himself
by building on the lie des Saintes, assisted
only by few conviets, a chapel surmount-
ed by lighthouse, which enables vessels
to pass through dangerous rocky chan
mel in perfect safety.
The able, who has waited so long for the
well merited recognition of his services,
has for ten years past occupied the post of
chaplain to the National Lunatic asylum
of Charenton.-London Telegraph.

A Wonderful Voice.

The worthy clerk of country church
which the writer once frequently attended
was the happy possessor of a tremendous
bass voice-not musical. His resonant
"Amenp' made the windows rattle-so the
folks said. Certainly it awed every play
fully inclined youngster into rigid atten-
tion. The distance the villagers said it
could be heard, if writ" down, would pro-
woke derision. In course of time the vicar
died, and stranger took his place-a nerv
GUS gentleman.
When that tremendous "Ah-h-h-men"
reverberated down the aisle he shivered
and shrank as if a blow had been struck
him. Unable to suffer in silence, he one
day demonstrated with the TOO audible
clerk Said he: "Mr G., should be
glad if you would speak the responses in a
more gentle voice. Your Amen particu-
larly gives me a shock"
"A-a-shock, STRIP stammered the as
tonished offender, in voice that appeared
to proceed from his boots. "Why-why-
I've been parish clerk here for thirty years
and-and"- He could not finish the SEN
tence The idea that his ''grand amen
