SAY THEY SAW THE VIRGIN.

A dispatch from Quebec says: A
story of the apparition of the Virgin
Mary to two little girls at Roberval, on
the shore OF Lake ST.. John, is exciting
deep interest in this province. The
girls are cousins, named Cloutier, and
ore is s, the other 9 years Of age. They
say they saw the vision while on the
way home from school in the village
of Roberval to the residence of their
parents. farmers residing couple Of
miles away.
Their story is told about like this !:
AS they were walking home together
they saw by the side of the road i'm.
mediateIy before them very tall aud
handsome lady dressed in q long white
robe, wearing a very brilliant crown
upon her head and having gold chap
let suspended from her black girdle.
Two little girls accompanied her. They
were also dressed in white and had
brilliant wings. One of the children
recngn zsd in these girls her two
little sisters and the other her cousins,
who died about year ago. The girls
of the vision spoke 10 the cousins and
told them that they were their guardian
angels.
The cousins asked them who was the
beautiful lady atc 'mpanying them aud
were told that she was the mother of
Jesus. Then the Virgin herself spoke
to the schoolgirls and told them to 60
at 7 o'clock that night to large pine
stump near the home of one of them.
The aprarition disappeared fom
them gradually, and as the Virgin
moved away the two cousins pointed
after her 10 the other school children
who were with them, excaiming:
"How beautiful she is Don't you
see her? There she isl Oh, how
beautiful she is She is the Blessed Vir-
GIN" The other children could see
nothing, and not understanding what
the cousins meant they became fright
OF ed and ran away. The cousins ran
the rest of the way home in state Of
JOYOUS excitement, and told their par
ents what they had seen and heard.
Their parents would not at first believe
their story, and endeavoredto persua de
them that they had been mis.ak :
en-. The children could not be
convinced, and eagerly awaited the
evening hour fixed by the Virgin
for another meeting. Their parents
watched them from the door of the
house near the pine stump, but could
see nothing except the little children
kneeling on the ground with their eyes
raised and happy smile upon their
faces.
When the children returned they
were in the same transport of joy as
before. They described part of the
vision, but declared that they were un-
able to relate all that the Virgin had
told them. They say that they fre
quently saw tine apparition of the Ma
donna before, but that she never spoke
to them on any former occasion.
The parents of the little girls tell the
story with reserve and discretion.
They say that their daughters are quite
ordinary children. loving study and
recreation, each in its proper sphere,
that they have been always full of life
and health and that the alleged appa-
rtions have effected no change in their
habits and character. While some of
the people of the locality are quite
skeptical in regard to the visions, and
believe them to have been simply i'm
aginative, there are many believers In
the whole story.
