 The defenses of Quebec were, however too strong for the Americans. On the night of December q a desperate effort was made to take the city by escalade. Four attacks were made simultaneously. Arnold sought to enter by the St. Charles on the north side ot Quebec, and Mont gomery by the south, between Cape Dia- mond and the St Lawrence Two feints were to be made on the side toward the Plains of Abraham. The hope of the commanders was to have forced the gaes from the lowe,- to the upper town in both cases. Arnold failed to reach the lower town and in a sortie the de- lenders cut off nearly the whole ot his column. He escaped wounded. Mont gomery was killed at the second entreneh- ment of the lower town and his troops retired in confusion.
 The, American generals have been crit icized by experts for not making their chief attack on the wall facing on the Plains of Abraham.
 Gen. Arnold remained before Quebec though his troops had become reduced to 800 men. Gen. Carleton pursued a pol icy of acting strictly on the defensive. If he retained Quebec it would be his great est success Gen. Arnold sought to gain the sympathy of the French Canadian seigniors and people but without any success. Three thousand troops however came to reinforce Arnold early in the year, and 4.O00 occupied Montreal. St. Johns and Chambly. But on the sth of May relief came from England; men-of- war and transports. besides artillery stores and ammunition.
 The Americans withdrew to SoreI. The British troops followed them and brig ade encamped at Three Rivers. The Ann ericans attempted to surprise the force at Three Rivers but were repulsed with heavy loss. The Americans now fell back from Montreal, deserCed all the pests down to Lake Champlain. and Governor Carleton had the pleasure of occupying Isle-aux-Noix as the outpost leaving Canada as it had been before the first attack in the year before.

 The suggestion that Mir. Crooks sbo,,1d De made president I cannot endorse He may be a capable foreman in a. big in- austry but, in my opinion, if he did bns- mess there the way he is attempting to do It for the city he wouldn't rerIa n, there long. In the repudiating of Mr Biackledge for the boards presidenov TOT what seems to me good and sufficient reasons, there has also been repudiated the Judgment of Mir. Crooks. Isn't if as matter of fact time for those who are standing in the way of sound hus. mess in the water board and plavine politics to resign. Messrs. Crooks ann Blaekledee have a chance to render . goed service in that way.

and never very popular in England, be- cause of his failure to master the Eng
 lish language, and being eclipsed by the remarkable popular manners of his eldest son, later King Edward the Seventh. But he was a power behind the throne. He was slow, heavy, shrewd, a man of good judgment and a wise councillor to the queen. In- tellectually Victoria waSa not great woman, but an illustrious queen. Her moral munitions were of greater value to the British empire than the intellee- tuaI greatness of some of her ministers. This country owes much to Prince AL bert in keeping England, through his influence with the queen, from openly siding with the Confederacy. The noble Victoria hated slavery, and she listened to the wise advice of her con- sort. May all wives do the same who have husbands worth listening to.

Sunday Morning Talk
BEING ALONE.

There come times when it is most help ful to be alone, for it means a quiet time to think over your life, and whether you are doing right or wrong. It means de- ciding with yourself as judge and jury, whether the words you have spoken are right or wrong. It means the deciding that which is good to be done and the planning it out and by coming in com munion with God you have courage and strength to work for Him. It does not mean the wasting of time in idle thought, though it may mean bright visions of the future. These may be made realities, but is impossible if we do not have our times alone, and get in touch with God.

in the moving picture industry have
admitted that many films are UNI

ST. BRIGID.

Many evidently do not know that
st. Bridget Is the name OF Sweden s
patron saint. who lived centuries
after st, Brigid, he Mary OF Erin.
st. Brig.d was one of the three
greatest Of the many saints who won
for ireland the title of the Island OF
Saints-Patrick, 'Brigid and Columb-
kin, The name Brigid means bright;
10 is one of the Gaelic names that
has become popular all over Europe
and in the early days OF our own
country it was not considered an
exclusively Irish name, nor did It
necessarily indicate that the bearer
was a Catholic The errors IN spell
ing the names of the Gaelic saints
is not entirely due to the loss of
the language Those igno' ant of
Irish history and teachers have OFTEN
been responsible for the change OF
Brigid to Bridget The best au-
thorities claim that st. Brigid was
horn in FOlkhart, County LOuth in
the middle OF the fifth century. She
was of noble blood and at an early
nee She entered the monastc life.
She was the patron OF music. liNera-
tire. science and art and a great
worker in the cause OF reigion and
education. AS the care and educa-
ton of the poor and hospitality to
changers were the chief duties OF
The monasteries ST. Brigid found
time to do many things along hu-
manitarian hines that we of today
consider modern innovations. She
travelled extensively through Ire
land. and synod of the Irish
Bishops at Meath, and on another
occasion also attended the election
OF a Bishop. the choice of which
was left to her. and history records
that her choice was an excellent
one She hated slavery and fought
81 in manner that would have de-
lighted a New England abolitionist.
ST. Brigid would have been good
leader in any movement for the
uplift of humanity, and her life is
one that the originator of the
Bridget Party might study with
a great deal of profit.
