He visited the place, appointed as its governor the Chevalier de Callières, a former captain in the regiment of Navarre, and in the spring of 1687 employed six hundred men under the direction of M. du Luth, royal engineer, in the erection of a palisade. These wooden defences, as was to be expected, were not durable and demanded repairs every year.
As they were ascending the river they passed the grave of an Indian warrior. Many of the savages cast upon it some valuable article, in token of regard for the departed. Father Hennepin, who understood the Indians thoroughly, spread upon it a blanket. M. Luth contributed nothing. The generous act of Hennepin was exceedingly gratifying to the Indians.
Such was the famous expedition of Hennepin; who, on his return, was not a little surprised to find a company of fur-traders near the Wisconsin River, led by one De Luth, who had probably preceded him in visiting that remote region. While Hennepin was exploring the upper valley of the Mississippi, La Salle's interests were getting from bad to worse at Crevecoeur.
"Then it may be that you can help me, Father." "You know, my son, that I will." "Very well. I have been ordered to Fort Frontenac in advance of the troops. I am to bear orders to d'Orvilliers and to Du Luth and La Durantaye. It is possible that there may be some delicate work to be done among the Indians. You know the Iroquois, Father, and our two heads together should be stronger than mine alone.
We're to "push forward, following the trail." I can fairly hear him say it, with his eyes looking right through the young aide. 'Not I, says Du Luth, 'I'm going around the hills and come into the village over the long oak ridge! 'You can't do it.
The stories that came to her ears of massacres and battles, of settlers butchered in the fields, and of the dashing adventures of La Salle and Du Luth, were to her no more than wild tales from a far-away land. So she chattered through the long dinner; and for the first time since he had reached the city, Menard wished himself back on Lake Ontario, where there were no women.
I remember that I was haunted by two lines of French verse; in some dumb way they seemed to fit my surroundings and give expression to the contentment that was in me, and I kept repeating to myself "Mon coeur est un luth suspendu, Sitôt qu'on le touche, il résonne." I can give no reason why these lines came to me at this time; and for that very cause I repeat them here.
Nor is it so easy to tell, of each, to which world he belongs, as it was to place the lady, who held out her finger over that gorge called Grand Canyon, and said: "It doesn't look thirteen miles; but they measured it just there! Excuse my pointing!" 1912. "Et nous jongleurs inutiles, frivoles joueurs de luth!". . . Useless jugglers, frivolous players on the lute!
Yes, with the French writer, we must say: "Et nous jongleurs inutiles, frivoles joueurs de luth!" . . . 1906. Yes! Why is this the chief characteristic of our art? What secret instincts are responsible for this inveterate distaste? But, first, is it true that we have it?
Nevertheless the pope's right to give a dispensation he regards as limited entirely to such matters as those concerning which God's Word has given no command. With matters which concern only the relation of the individual to God, the Pope's authority is of no avail. Literature. Steitz, G. E., Die Privatbeichte und Privatabsolution d. luth. Kirche aus d.
