where the act of a Roman Catholic

is great nerd of the Orange inetitue
tion to oppose this organized system
of ,Jesuitism and Popery. He urged
all Protestants to become united
against Roman Catholic agression,
Rev. Mr. McConnell, Presby-
terian minister, lately of Varua,
now of Chalk Lake, referring to his
absence. from former demonat: ations
'said it was not°whin to his object

The principles the Order ocoupied
a high place in his estimation. He
was assicieted at one time with
French Ronan Catholics and found
them a very -agreeable people,
'Thea had never acted Jesuitical to
hint. He had hatred to none and
charity to all. There are two timer
las why you aro Orangemen. Hewas an Irishmen and understood
the history of Orangeiaw. In early
days in Ireland the organization
was for the purpose of self preser-
vation as Protestants were waylaid
and murdered by Roman Catholics,.
They organized themselves together
by signs and words so that they
could distiuguish friends in the
dark as well light. They now
pretaerve the liberty of the people
of our land, Another theory is
that Pitt organized the society for
political purposes, hence some peo•
pia who are prejudiced say the or-
gauizitiun is Couscrvative. But ho
knew Reform members of the
Orange Order and his own opinion
Wes that the Society was not a poi'
ideal oue. Cunservativos and Ito•
formers were found in the reelte
mad iu the lodge r'•oln conserving
the rights of the Protestant party.
He objeoted to the dual 'language
and Separate schools. Our party
politicians were too weak•kneod.
When it came to a hatter of Raman
egression h9 was in favor of tt
purely Protestant party. He
advised the Orangemen to• be true to
their charter rights and the nlornory'
of .King William who won for them
civil and religious liberty. He
would also like to see the ladies

not an Orangeman, but as good, be–
ing a Mason. You have reason to
be thankful because you live in

not a credit to the church as ho was

of his told him that "the priest

him out." The priesthood had
great powerrovor the people. He
next described a procession where a
prieat was going to give extreme
unction to a dying man when all
knelt down on the pavement in
adoration and to show their
obedience. If you were a Prot..

St. Peter performed a miracle. His

prison when a certain prisoner was
asked for. The prisoner
was glad
to cone out and how before the
saint and regain his freedom. This
was the miracle. In Cordoba the
building in which a masonic lodge
was held was pulled down at the in.
atigation of the priesthood. Now
the chief of pojice and othe officials
ate Masons, having renounced the
church rather than give up the
principles of that order. The Masons
can now meet without molestation.
He advised Orangemen to stand
true to their order and to the truth
as it is in Christ Jesus.
The procession was over a mile in
length: When the brethren had
assembled in the grove County
Master Todd called them to order
and welcomed them to Bayfield,
le'said he did not have strength to
make a speech, but trusted that
the Orangemen would carry
out the rules of Orangeism and
stand by their colors. He called
upon the first speaker.
Rev. Bro. • Oliphant, Methodist
minister of Bayfield, said it was a
pleasure to celebrate the Battle of
the )3oyne with brethren in Bay-
field. Why do we celebrate the
day 1 It was not merely because
one Prince won a victory over
another but it was the glorious
i
victory won for the principles of civil
and religious liberty, freedom of
conscience and freedom of worship.
There is one great iirower in this
land thatisopposed to this freedom,
and that power is Romanism, hence
we require such a powerful organiza-
on as that of Orangeism to cope
''jth this opposition power. Orange
)fabs is head and shoulders above all
other institutions in its defence of
religious freedom. Orangeism helps
meta morally, socially and intellect,
tually. It is true some Orangemen
violate their obligation by drinking
and swearing. The teaching of the
society is opposed to such conduct.

Paris was blockaded—fatnishod—at the
point of death. Even the sparrows on the
housetops were few and far between, end
the very sewers were its clanger of becom-
ing depopulated. People oto anythitlg they
mild get.
M. Morisot, watchmaker by trade, was
walking early one bright January morning
down the Boulevards, his hands iu the
pockets of his' overcoat, keeling hungry and
depressed, when be unexpectedly ran
agatttst it frieud. He recognized M. San.
vage, an old•time chum of the riverside.
Every Sunday before the war Morisot
used to start at deiybreak with his bamboo
fishing rod in ids hand, his tin bait and
tackle box upon his back. Ha used to take
the train to Colombes, and to walk from
there to the Island of Maranther. No
sooner had he arrived at the river than he
used to begin to fish and continue • fishing
until evening. Here every Sunday he used
to meet M. Sauvage, a linen -draper from
Paris, but stout and jovial withal, as keen
a fisherman moreover as he was himself.
Often they would sit side by side, their
Leet dangling over the water for half a day
at' a time, and say scarcely a word, yet
little by little they became friends. Oc-
casionally they launched nut into conver-
sation, but they understood each other per-
,fect}y without its aid, for their tastes .and
ideas were the same.
On a spring morning in the bright sun-
shine, when the light and delicate mist
hovered over the river, and these two mad
fishermen enjoyed a foretaste of real sum-
mer weather, Morisot would say to his
neighbor: "Hein 1 not bad, cit?"
And Sauvage would reply': I know noth-
ing to bear it."
This interchange of sentiments was quite
enough to engender mutual understanding
anti esteem.
In autumn, toward evening, when the
setting sun reddened the sky and east
shadows of the fleeting clouds over the
water ; when the river was decked in pur-
ple ; when the whole Morison \Virg lighted
up and the figures of the two friends were
illuminated as with lire ; when the russet
brown of the trees was lightly tinted with
gold, and the trees themselves shivered
with a wintry shake, M. Senvage would
smile at M. Morisot and say, "What a
sight, eh ?"
And M. • Morisot, without raising his
eyes from his float would answer: "Better
than the Boulevards, hein 1" •
This horning, as soon its they had recog.
uized each other, they shook hands warmly,
quite overcome at meeting again under such
different circumstances.
M. Sauvage sighed and murmured : "A
nice state of things." •
1. Morisot, gloomy and sad, answered,
"Aru.l what weather ! To -day is `iew.Year's
day," The sky, in £trot, was cleat', bright
and beautiful. •
' They began to walk along, sorrowful'and.
pensive. Said Morisot : "Anil our fishing,
eh? What times we used to have 1"
Sauvage replied : " When shall we have
them again?'
They went, into a little cafe and had it
glass of absinthe, and then started again on
their walk.
They stopped at another cafe for another
glass. When they came out, again they
were slightly dazed, like people who had
fasted lotig and then partaken too freely,
It was lovely weather; a soft breeze
fanned their faces. M. Sauvage, upon
whom the fresh air was beginning to take
effect, suddenly said ;
"Suppose we were to go I"
"Go where ?"
"Why, fishing 1"
"But where ?''
"To our island, of course. The French
outposts are at Colombes. I know Col.
Dumoulin; he will let us pass through easy
enough,"
\Iurie.ot trembled with delight at the
very idea : "All right ; I'm your man.'
They separated to fetch their rods.
An hour afterwards they were walking
fast alone the highroad toward the town
commanrred by Colonel Dbmoulin. He
smiled at their request but granted it, and
they went on their way rejoicing in the
possession of the pyssword.
Soon they had crossed the lines, passed
through deserted Colombes and found them-
selves in the vineyard leading down to the
river. It was about 11 o'clock.
On the other side the village of Agen-
tetlil seemed as if it were dead. The hills
of Orgremont and Saumous commanded the
whole country round. The great plain
stretching out as far as Nantarne was
empty as air. Nothing in sight but cherry
trees and stretches of grey sad.
M. Sauvage pointed with his finger to the
heights above and said : "The Prussians
are up there," and a vague sense of uneasi-
ness seized upon the two friends.
The Prussians 1 They had never set eyes
upon them, but for months past they had
felt their presence near, encircling their
beloved Paris, ruining their beloved France,
pillaging massacring, insatiable, invincible,
invisible, all-powerful, and as they thought
on then a sort of superstitious terror seem-
ed to mingle with the hate they bore
toward their unknown conquerors. Morisot
murmured : "Suppose we were to meet
them," and Sauvage roplied, with the in-
stinctive gallantry of the Parisian : "Well 1
we would offer them some of our fish for
supper."
All the same they hesitated before ven-
turing into the country, intimidated as they
were by the all-prevading silence. •
Eventually M. Sauvage plucked up cour-
age : "Come along, lets make a start ; but
we trust be cautions."
They went through the vineyard, bent
double, drawling along from bush to bush,
ears and eyes on the alert.
Only one strip of ground lay between
them and the river. They began to run,
and when they reached the bank they
crouched down among the dry reeds for
abetter.
Morisot laid his ear to the ground to
listen for the sound of footsteps, but he could
hear nothing. They were alone, quite
atone ; gradually they felt reassured and
began to fish.
The deserted island of Mierantha hid
t.hetn from the opposite shore. The little
restaurant was closed, and looked as if it
had been neglected for years.
M. Sauvage Cangght the first gudgeon, M.
Morisot the second. And every minute they
pulled up their lines with a little ether ob-
ject dangling and struggling on the hook.
Truly, a miraculous dr•anght of fishes. As
the fish were caught they put them in a not

they thought of nothing—the rest of the
world was as nothing to chem. They sim-

Suddenly a smothered sound, at; it were

The gusts had reuotnutencod tiring. Morisot
turned his head tend saw above the bank,

the white stroke formed a funeral pall

M. Sauvage ehrugged his shoulders.

out : "How idiotic to kill one another like

M. Sauvage—It's worse than the brute ,
beasts.
51. Morisot, who had ,just hooked a bleak,
said : "And to think that it will always be
thus so long as there are such things as
govoruments,"
M. Sauvage stopped hint : "The Repub.
lie would not have declared war,"
111. Morisot, in his tarn : "With kings
we have foreign wars, with the Republic
we have eivii wars."'
Then in a frietell • way' they began to
discuss politics with the ea lin common
sense of reasonable and poace•loving nun,
agreeing on the one polite that nu 0112
would ever be free. And. Mont. Valerie,+

"It's life," said M. Morisot.
"Say rather that it's death," said M.
San vage.
They started, seared out of their lives,
as they felt that some one Was walking
close behind them. Turning around, the}"
saw four men, fot,r tall, bearded Wren,
dressed as servants in livery and wearing

The t'.vo friends, livid with fear, stood
side by side, their hands nervously twitch-

The officer continued : " No ono need
ever know it. You will go home quietly
and your secret will go with you: If you
refuse it is death for you both, and that in-
stantly. Take your choice.
They neither spoke nor moved.
The Prussian calmly pointed to he river
and said : "Reflect, in five minutes you
will bo . t the bottom of that water. I sup-
pose you have families ?"
Mont Valerien thundered unceasingly.
The two Frenchmen stood perfectly still
and silent. '
The officer gave an order in German.
Then he moved his chair further away from
the prisoners, and a dozen soldiers drew up
in line twenty paces off.

The Prussian gave another order, His
men dispersed for a moment, returning
with cords and stones. They tial the
stones to the feet of the dead Frenchmen,
and darried them down to the river.'
Two soldiers took Morisot by the head
and feet. Two others did the same to
Sauvage. The bodies swung to and fro,
were launched into space, described a curve,
and plunged feet first into the river.
The water bubbled, boiled, then calmed
down, and the little wavelets, tinged with
red, circled gently toward the bank.
The officer, impassive as ever, said : "It
is the fishes' turn now."
His eye fell upon the gudgeon lying on
the grass. He picked there up and called
