and when the rose and the lilies strap-

Thirtyfivc years ago. when The
men of affairs of the present day were

the favor of Father Hamel to he

Of the French settlement. With The
courtesy and affability that never fails.
Father lamel Immediately placed his
services at the disposal of the in

remainder OF the forenoon explaining
with rare kindness and prover5ial
French courtesy the interesting parts
Of the system. And in speaking of
Father Hamel at this point. the Ro-

of the French Canadian settlement in
Augusta. that each is part of The

every visitor in the Canadas. and
especially those who have lived in
protestant communities. and which
by mutual relation has been trans
planted into states wherever there
is a French settlement. as in Au-
guSta.
To speak for a moment of the his
tory of the French colonization of Au-
gusta. ii is largely brought about by
the demand which was made by mill
owners for labor at low prices: and in
the evolution of business. demands
were made in Canada for help. where

may say, has loaned him to the bishop of
Maine for the time being.
In domestic life, the French continue
their customs which have hcen hand ID

arc largely customs of cid France: but in

In their church life they look upon at
