Denison, in 1826. The home of the Fnhous was cheery and hospitable, and was the place of call in this locality for many (‘f the aristocracy from the: Capital. Bishop John Strscnan, whose pariah then extended the whole length of Yonge street, made it his rest- place when on pastoral ducy, and «luring the American invasion, when York was in the hands of the enemy, it. was a place of safety to Mrs. Strachan until her own home was free of danger.

Around the huge fire-place of those early days the Fulton family had often gather- ed and listtned to the narratives of the Cuplaili's military exploits and to Mrs. Fulton’s recollections of the French Refugees, to whose homes she had always a ready access. Those French nobleruen and ladies had fled from the horrors of the Reign ol Terror In France in 1793.

WM HARRxsuN Richmond Hill, March 3rd, 1896. As a fitting introduction to our re- marks this week We mould quote the lines giving us a deacriptinn of the hero- ine, Evangeline. Fair was she tn behold, that maiden of seventeen summers. Black were her eyes as the berry that grows on the thorn by the wayside, Black yet huw auftly they gleamed he- nealh the brown shade nf her tresses; Sweet was her breath as the breath of lune that feed in the mudows. Fairer was she when, Down the long street she passed, with her Chaplet of beads and her missal, Wearing her Norman cap and her kirtle of blue, and the ear-rings Handed dmvn from mother to child, thruugh lung generations.

For of the suitors for Evangeline-’3 hand he only was welcome, and of the youths “Nublust uf all the youths was anriel, sun of the blacksmith.” In this poem, beside having some gnnd character sketches, and descriptions «If seenery, we find given a gnud histmy (-f the manners and customs uf the early French settlers \Vhile, perhaps, not quite in keeping with the facts of history the picture is accepted as henna in part quite true. Here is the description of the dance which tool; place at the feast of the betruthal of Evangeline and Gabriel. The Acmlian danne was one of the historiul features, teprescnted in the recent fancy dress bull at Ottuuu: Not far withdrawn from these, by the cider-press and the bee hives, Michael the fiddler “as placed, with the gayest of hearts and “antenats, Shadow and light from the leaves alter- nately played on his snownhite Hair, as it waved in the wil.d, and the face of the fiddler GIOWed like a living coal when the ashes Contributions from the Schools.

Gaily the old [mm sang to the vibrant sound of his fiddle, Tons Ics Bourgeois (Ie Chart-res, and Le Carillon dc Dunkcrque, And anon with his Wooden shoes beat time to the music. Merrily, merrily whirled the Wheels of the dizzying deuces Under the orchard trees and down the path to the meadows; Old folks and young together, and child- ren mingled among them. Now while there are many beautiful passages in the poem we are unable to quote them, as space will not admit of such. However we will now turn the at- tention of our readers to one of the finest passages. Evangeline. after many disap- pointments in her search for Gabriel, at length became a Sister of Mercy. So was her love diffused, but, like to some odorous spices ' Suffered no waste or 1983, though filling the air with aroma. Other hope had she none, nor wish in life, but to follow Meekly with reverent steps, the sacred feet of her Saviour. Thus many ye Ire she lived as a. Sister of Mercy, frequenting Lonely and wretched roofs in the crowded lanes of the city, Where distress and want concealed them- selvas from the sunlight, Where disease and sorrow in garrets lan- guished neglected. Night after night, when the world was asleep, as the watchman repeated Loud, through the gusty streets, that all was well in the city, High at some lonely window he haw the wretqhed,” ‘ distress and want,” “diseass and suri'dwf’ expands and keeps alivs .lee impressipn. .

(4) The repetition to keep alive the impression. in “lonely roof,” “garret,” “hiin and lonely window." (5) The irony probably intended in the phrase “all was Well in the city.” l' (2)- wa the repetition in “lonely and L We are now at the close of the story. The unewerving love which Evangeline and Gabriel had cherished, each for the other, was at last rewarded. She one day in going the rounds of the hospital found her long-lost lover. He was dying of fever. As she cried “Gabriel! 0 my beIUVed ! ” he recognized her, vainly atmve'to rise and whisper her name, but it was too law, it was the last. disappoint- ment, and as ehe laid his head on her light of her taper. Day after day, in the grey of the dawn, as slow through the suburbs Plodded the German fdrmer, with flowers and fruits in the market Met he that meek, pale face. returning home from its wafichiuga.
