Theianontakhen. Two United Mountains. Honore Telanontouohe.

The Sentry. A. N. Montpetit Ahatsistari.

The Fearless Man. - And others, in all 23 warriors.

[Translation.]

"The chiefs, the warriors, the women and children of our tribe, greet you. The man of the woods also likes to render homage to merit: he loves to see in his chiefs those precious qualities which constitute the statesman.

"All these gifts of the Great Spirit, wisdom in council, prudence in execution, and that sagacity we exact in the Captains of our nation, you possess them all in an eminent degree.

"We warmly applaud your appointment to the exalted post of Lieutenant- Governor of the Province of Quebec, and feel happy in taking advantage of the occasion to present our congratulations.

"May we also be allowed to renew the assurance of our devotion towards our august Mother, who dwells on the other side of the Great Lake, as well as to the land of our forefathers.

"Accept for you, for Mrs. Caron and your family, our best wishes."

CHATEAU BIGOT.

ITS HISTORY AND ROMANCE.

"Ensconced 'mid trees this chateau stood - 'Mid flowers each aisle and porch; At eve soft music charmed the ear - High blazed the festive torch.

But, ah! a sad and mournful tale Was hers who so enjoyed The transient bliss of these fair shades - By youth and love decoyed,

Her lord was true - yet he was false, False - false - as sin and hell - To former plights and vows he gave To one that loved him well." The Hermitage.
