Even that dismayed Then pies. could not deny that we Frenchman have as many pies as religions, and he would be a bold Frenchman also if he asserted that we are as fond of our religions as of our pies. Pies, iadeed, there must be. They are as ancient as Thanksgiving, and the pie on the table of that great day was as constituent a part of it as the minister in the pulpit. Nay, what is the festival itself but a humble and pious offering of thanks for the copious harvest of pie ia its original material? Indeed, the more metaphysical inquirer might justly ask, as he surveys the autumn fields gorgeous with the massive pumpkin, what is it there for except to make pie? It is a manna fallen upon the earthIt is a celestial hint of pie. It is a heavenly command of pie. There is a time in the life of the contemplative American when he perceives in himself nascent doubts of pie. lie may even go so far as to protest that heavy white dough, "shortened" wth Heaven and the lard pot know what, is not wholesome food. But what said the learned and eloquent Ruf'us Choate, when his mouth fairly watered at the luxury of the forecastle and galley of a coasting smack? ('0n Monday, gentleman, the wholesome and toothsome duff; on Tuesday the nutritious and delicious dundy funk;" and in the climax his rapt eye beheld in vision the very transfigured material of pie, although he called it by a kindred name, when he exclaimed, "and on Wednesday, with his own hand, with his own paternal hand, the captain dealt out to them squash; not the cold and - hall-starve- d gen-Ueme- d! d fried in called a beefsteak, who a pan" and por would Dot prefer a of greasy lump n, shriveled vegetable of our northern clime, but the gorgeous, the luxuriant, the exuberant squash of the tropics" Think, madam, that you deal with tMs esculent squash or pumpkin, it is all the same; concede that the German will surrender hia sauerkraut, Scotchman his oatmeal "parritch," the Irishman his potato, the Italian his maoaroui, the Frenchman his frog, as sson as the American his pie; waive all the arguments against pie es pie; yet are yoa not morally bound to consider the nature of eras.. and cm you, as a friend of truth. assert that the white, soggy slab of wun uiat underlies your pie is either wholesome or toothsome?

The story may be briefly related : "Miss M. J. is an English orphan of 19. On the death of her parents she was placed under the guardianship of her stepmother.

Iu November of last year ths stepmother, do siring to go to Hayti, placed her ward in the charge of the rehgieuses of the Assumption at Auteuil, just outside of Pans. "The girl, as a Protestant, object ed, and wished to be put in a pension, but in vain. She had no sooner entered the convent thaa earnest attempts were made to induce her to change her religion. She was even subjected to cruel treatment, and in despair she twice tried to commit suicide. At length her will broke down, and she consented to sacrifice her faith and become a Catholic. But the bad treatment did not cease. The poor girl continued to write to her relatives, but none of the letters reached their destination. Her health at last gave way, and she was attacked with typhus fever. The Lady Superior of the convent, fearing she might die, decided at length to write to the girl's aunt in London. This happened last month; the aunt arrived und claimed her neice, bnt the convent authorities refused to She then applied to give her up. the Prefect of Police, but in vain, and finally appealed to the British Ambassador, who sent Sir John Cor- mack to examine the poor girl. This medical gentleman reported that it was absolutely necessary and urgent that Miss M. J. should be taken out of the convent. In virtue of this re port a demand was made to the tribu nal of referees for the immediate release of the girl, but the court postponed the case for a week, and appointed Dr. Tardieu to examine and report on the poor prisoner's state of health.
