 GOOD WORDS. 
 
 High as were the hopes of the gallant com- 
 manders of the English in 1758, they could 
 hardly have expected that, witliin a brief 
 period, the sons of the bravo men who 
 confronted them would be fighting side by 
 side with the redcoats to repel the inva- 
 sion which tlireatencd to absorb Canada in 
 the neighbouring Republic. But the arma- 
 ment equipped against the French colonists 
 wat imposing enough in number of ships and 
 troops to justify confidence that resistance 
 could not be prolonged. The first remarkable 
 action was that at Louisburg. It was one of 
 the two decisive British successes. The place 
 shows no striking natural features. Low rocky 
 shores almost encircle a wide bay. Domi- 
 nating the recesses of this bay, and to die left 
 as the fleet entered, rose the strong ramparts 
 of a citadel, garrisoned by some of the best 
 regiments of the Royal army of France. 
 
 The fleet advances, a cloud of small boats 
 cover the waters between the sliips and the 
 shore. The surf is heavy, and the position of 
 the garrison looks most formidable. A slight 
 figure in tlie leading boat stands up amid a 
 storn-i of shot, and is seen to wave his hat. 
 Some said afterwards that he waved his men 
 back, thinking the attempt to land too peril- 
 ous. But his gallant followers think it is the 
 signal for a dash — on they row amid the 
 splash of balls and roar of artillery, and, as 
 each boat touches land, the crews leap out, 
 and slipping, struggling through the surf, form 
 amid the terriole fire, and rush to the assault. 
 The capture of the place was an extraordinary 
 feat of arms, and the slightly-built man who 
 waved his cocked hat in the 'eading boat 
 that day, was soon afterwards nominated 
 chief of the British forces in North America. 
 Wolfe's next chance was given him in the 
 summer of 1759, when Montcalm, calmly 
 watching his enemy's movements from the 
 ridges near the Falls of Montmorenci, was 
 enabled to crush a brigade too hastily 
 thrown on shore, and compelled it to 
 retreat, leaving many killed and wounded. 
 But the hold gained by the invader was not 
 to be easily shaken off. Already masters of 
 the Island of Orleans, with the banks of tlie 
 river below the Falls, and also those opposite 
 
 to Quebec in his hands, Wolfe waited until 
 the autumn. His able opponent lay in the 
 lines he had successfully defended. They 
 stretched along the left side of the St. Law- 
 rence as far as the Isle of Orleans, and en- 
 circled the city, which on its commanding 
 cape presented one steep front to the great 
 river and another tj the wide valley of a 
 small stream named the St. Charles. On the 
 third side the citadel batteries looked across 
 fhe so-called Plains of Abraham, a plateau, 
 the walls of which rise steeply two hundred 
 feet above the water. The position was a 
 difficult one to take, and it was held by 
 soldiers who, if they had been properly sup- 
 ported by the Government at Versailles, 
 would have rendered it impregnable. Joined 
 with a few of the finest regiments composed 
 of the Veterans of the wars of King Louis, 
 M'ere gallant bands of hardy Provincials, who 
 had proved that they could render most 
 efficient aid to the Regulars, But there was 
 a c'ance for the English to place themselves 
 near the town and on a level with its garrison, 
 before the French reinforcements, expected 
 from Montreal, should arrive. Wolfe had an 
 overwhelming superiority in his fleet, both of 
 men-of-war and of transports. These he well 
 employed. Making as though he would 
 again attempt to force the lines he liad 
 vainly attacked in the summer, he caused 
 the mass of his enemy's forces to remain one 
 autumn afternoon on the Beauport shore, and 
 then under cover of night, swept up with the 
 tide above the city. Quickly scaling the 
 high bank, he drew up his men without 
 meeting with resistance. Montcalm in the 
 grey of morning hurried over the St. Charles 
 and poured his troops through the town on 
 to the plateau. Impetuously attacking, he 
 was driven back and mortally wounded, 
 almost at the same moment that Wolfe also 
 fell, happier than his rival, who lived long 
 enough to feel that the desertion of himself 
 and of his army by the French Court, must 
 cause the surrender of the town. But its 
 possession was again stoutly contested the 
 next year, and the Marquis de Levis revenged 
 in 1760, too late and uselessly, thcdisaster of 
 the previous year.

 By Ills ExcKLtENCY THE MARQUIS OF LORNE. 
 
 Q FORTRESS City, bathed by streams 
 ^-^ Majestic as thy memories great, 
 
 Where mountains, floods, and forests mate 
 The grandeur of tlie glorious dreams. 
 
 Born of the hero hearts, who died 
 
 In founding here an Empire's pride \ 
 Prosperity attend thy fate. 
 
 And happiness in thee abide, 
 Fair Canada's strong tower and gate I 
 
 May Envy that against thy might 
 
 Dashed hostile hosts to surge and break, 
 Bring Commerce, emulous to make 
 
 Thy people share her fruitful fight, 
 In filling argosies with store 
 Of grain and timber, and each ore, 
 
 And all a Continent can shake 
 Into thy lap, till more and more 
 
 Thy praise in distant worlds awake. 
 
 For all must drink delight whose feet 
 Have paced thy streets, or terrace way ; 
 From rampart sod, or bastion grey. 
 
 Have marked thy sea-like river greet 
 
 The bright and peopled banks that shine 
 In front of the far mountain's line; 
 
 Thy glittering roofs below, the play 
 Of currents where the ships entwine 
 
 Their spars, or laden pass away. 
 
 As we who joyously once rode 
 So often forth to trumpet sound 
 Past guarded gates, by ways that wound 
 
 O'er drawbridges, through moats, and showed 
 The vast St. Lawrence flowing, belt 
 The Orleans Isle, and sea-ward melt; 
 
 Then past old walls by cannon crowned, 
 Down stair-like streets, to where we felt 
 
 The salt winds blown o'er meadow ground. 
 
 Where flows the Charles past wharf and dock, 
 And Learning from Laval looks down, 
 And quiet convents grace the town. 
 
 There swift to meet the batde shock 
 
 Montcalm rushed on; and eddying back, 
 Red slaughter marked the bridge's track : 
 
 See now the shores with lumber brown. 
 And girt with happy lands that lack 
 
 No loveliness of Summer's crown.

 Quaint hamlet-alleys, border-filled 
 With purple lilacs, poplars tall. 
 Where flits the yellow bird, and fall 
 The deep eave shadows. There when tilled 
 The peasant's field or garden bed, 
 He rests content if o'er his head 
 From silver spires the Church bells call 
 
 To gorgeous shrines, and prayers thai gild 
 The simple hopes and lives of all. 
 
 Winter is mocked by garbs of green. 
 Worn by the copses flaked with snow,— 
 White spikes and balls of bloom, that blow 
 
 In hedgerows deep ; and cattle seen 
 In meadows spangled thick with gold, 
 And globes where lovers' fates are told 
 
 Around the rcd-doored houses low ; 
 While rising o'er them, fold on fold, 
 
 The distant hills in azure glow. 
 
 Oft in the woods we long delayed. 
 
 When hours were minutes al' too brief, 
 For Nature knew no sound of grief i 
 
 But overhead the breezes played, 
 And in the dank grass at our knee, 
 Shone pearls of our green forest sea. 
 
 The star-white flowers of triple leaf 
 Which love around the brooks to be, 
 
 Within the birch and maple shade. 
 
 At times we passed some fairy mere, 
 Embosomed in the leafy screen, 
 And streaked with tints of heaven's sheen, 
 
 Where'er the water's surface clear 
 
 Bore not the hues of verdant light _ 
 From myriad boughs on mountain height, 
 
 Or near the shadowed banks were seen 
 The sparkles that in circlets bright 
 
 Told where the fishes' feast had been. 
 
 And when afar the forests flushed 
 
 In falling swathes of fire, there soared 
 
 Dark clouds where muttering thunder roared, 
 
 And mounting vapours lurid rushed, 
 While a meialUc lustre flew 
 Upon the vivid verdure's hue, 
 
 Before the blasts and rain forth poured, 
 And slow o'er mighty landscapes drew 
 
 The grandest pageant of the Lord : 
 
 The threatening march of flashing cloud. 
 With tumults of embattled air. 
 Blest conflicts for the good they bear! 
 
 
QUEBEC. 
 
 A century has God allowed 
 
 None other, since the days He gave 
 Unequal fortune to the brave.

 low wall at the cud near the small house closes the ditch, at a place where the cliff 
 drops steeply doivn in a rocky escarpment to the river. 
 
 We watched, when gone day's quivering haze. 
 
 The loops of plunging foam that beat 
 
 The rocks at Montmorenci's feet 
 Stab the deep gloom with moon-lit rays ; 
 
 Or from the fortress saw the streams 
 
 Sweep swiftly o'er the pillared beams ; 
 White shone the roofs, and anchored fleet,

 Pale hosts of sleeping Marguerite.
