But e'er the soft haniW of Ills patient child. Had closed those ioviug eyes, the father knciw, That to tho God who claimed it, she had glv'n Her soul's pure love,— her glrlliood'8>potle8s heart. And thus It chanced to pass ; if chance there ho, In aught ordained by Illm, who rules tho world. It was the Sunday of the Rosary, And in procession meet, St. Dom'nick's sons, Were channtln;^ praise to llOr, their founder loved. Soon were they joined by the fair city's youth ; And slowly pa»^"d tho Church of Notre Dame, Where in a nii-hc the noted statue stood. Of Mary— bearing in her arms her Infiint Son. As Marg'ret walks along, her eyes arc raised, To the mild face, she oft liath watched before Why starts she ? Is there aught to frighten hei'. No ! no 1 for joy beams from every feature. Hut she walks as in a dream ! See she fSills, With lifted earnest gaze, at Mary's feet. •' Ah Mother I thou couldst tell us ! thou dost l;now, What means that raptnrous face, those radiant eyes— Thou must have smiled on her, sweet Virgin Queen ! .\nd she nigh died of love ! as she, we ask. With yearning hearts that we may one day die t Thou must have whicpered to liei inmost soul. And it nigh fled away, with thy sweet breath. Back to tho Infant '[arg'rct thou hast been too near to God, To care for earlh again or earthly garb. Which thou liadst until now, so dearly prized. Thus camie Religious call : and ft-om that hour. One thought alone possessed thiit Christian maid. Now in a cloister bearing " Mary's " name. She could devote !ier yiinth, her llfl', to Ood, There as daught n--; how, she earnest seeks, Not there ! not there ! doxs Heaven's anger point ! Vainly she strives a holy house to fuu.ul, Still ! still ! her guiding star moves slowly on— •' Where rests it ? " See ! far on in years to come— It hovers o'er a stabb : as of old, It marked the spot, where Mary would bo fonnrl. 'Tis not o'er thy beloved Prance it rests. No, mnideii ! ' Tis where blood is daily shed. By tho.-ie who know not oV the Christian's God— The land of snows ;— where the sftvago Iroquois, Loud yell the war-hoop, scatt'ring death aronnrt. Who, now comes from wild Canadian forests V Dj Slaitonneuve, we know tliy stately step, '• What seekest thou? more men, to lose their lives In savage combat with the deadly foe Y Or dost thou coino toreist thco from lliy toll>»?— Not HO !— Hi) HuukH kind womaii'i* iniiiiHt.ry, To lalioiir for the littli) Indinn rhild.

'Twas even so, and but a short time passed. When voice of Priest audPastoj: bade liec speed E'on to the city where we now are met. Bur o"(!r r ho Htartn. dark SatanV ploti* arc laid, And fear ik cast into that virj?in heart : Fear, oh not for life, but for tliat honor. Which woman values far, far more than life. Have courage maiden ! He whom Mary sends, Ii< e'en as spotless in his life as thou ! Dost thou forget, a beauteous .i\jigel stands, By night and day, forever, at thy side. Thou, canst not see,— but in his hand ho hears A golden lily— iype of thy juue hohI. Fear not ! he watches, and he'll guard thoo well, And now in silent night she humbly prays. When— lo ! an answer to her prayer quicl^ comvs. She— who had won her by a smile, now stands Before her chosen one. and v.'th a voice. Like Heaven's sweetest music, softly spoke— '•Qo! for I will ntver nbaudon thee / " Where now the terrors of the trembling girl t They've passed away— her own loved homp is left. And soon she stands upon Canadian sliores. Oh think not that her sacrifice was small ! Can there be anght that clings to us like Homo ! The exile from the sunny shores of France, Or Erin's fields of bright and matchless green, ' Think you, he never yearns to see again. The home wherein his boyhood's days were spent ? That mem'ry brings not often back to him. The liawthorn hedge ! the primrose wild and sweet ? Does he not hear the little robin's chirp And seek to find, the fonr-leafed-shamrock rare y llow often doth the perfume of a flow'r. Bring a wild rush of scenes and faces gone, lie hears again, a father's earnest voice ; A mother's hand, is resting on his brow ; And hark 1 that peal of merry laughter loud. That comes, from childhood's pure and guileless heart. —Where are the friends of boyhood staunch and true. Tho sister, brother, of his early youth t Oh, mem'ry bitter, are tho silent tears. Thou forcest, e'en from eyes that seldom weep. But, turn wc now, to where in forests dark, A hnmnn Angel, tends to every woo. The wonnded soldier, knows wlint blessed hand, llns soothed liis pain, and lulled him into sleep ; The Huron loves the pationt dark-rohcd nnn, Who speaks to him of One, who died for all ; The little Indian cliildren gather ronnd. And coll her ' Mother '—in their native tongue ; E'en the dark foe, the savage Iroquois Have brought to her, their little ones to cure. — No homo lias she, for many weary years ; Until at length young kiniltcd spirits came— From far and near— seeking to be enrolled. In her blest cansc. No house is there for them, But later on, a little stable poor, Is given uuto Marg'rct for her flock. Did not the star shino brightly on that night, Tliou faithful watcher i Now thou hast thy wish. In very truth, thon'rt likened unto her, Who, in an hnmble stable, gave to man. The world's Redeemer— Jesus our King— For flve-and-forty years spent in this land, Thou laboredst Mother, for the ftitnrc good Of Canada's fair daughters. Sec ! the fruit. Of oil thy weary doys, thy restless nights ! The groin of mustard seed has spread its roots ; And forty holy houses bear the name, Of "La Congregation dc Notre Dome 1" Thou, their great foundress— "Marguerite Bonrgeois !" Whoso death was e'en another act of love ! What countless souls, oh Mother, hust thou saved ; What thousands hast thou colled to serve tlicir God, For from the world's seductive, weary woys— Iteoping a prccioHS iuirvest, all for Hm Who shed His Blood on Golgotha for them. Thy eighty years of human life have passed, But yet enshrined in casket rich and rare, Thy heart, in yonder cloister, dwells with us. Mother 1 from earth sec thy children all hail thoc As blessed in childhood, in youth and in age ! Long— may thy virtues, shine brightly around us, Thy name 1)e engraved on fond memory's page. J. D.
