The Apostle is incensed at the presumptuousness of any person who thinks he can perform the Law of God to his own salvation. He charges that person with the atrocity of crucifying anew the Son of God. This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

This bouffonnade, being played with great spirit, was enthusiastically applauded. The gentlemen were charmed with the mischievous, coquettish soubrette, who was fairly radiant with beauty that evening; the ladies were greatly pleased with Isabelle's refinement and modesty; whilst Matamore received the well merited encomiums of all.

"What do you care for, then?" "A position." "What do you mean?" "I mean, chevalier, that every day I am four-and-twenty hours older, and that with age comes philosophy."

I apprehend it is Morgan, who had not received my letter, but it will have the good effect of stopping them, and if we attack, he may begin again.

For the bellicose qualities of the French aristocracy see also La Noblesse Française sous Richelieu by the Vicomte G. d'Avenel. Frontenac received his commission on April 6, 1672, and reached Quebec at the beginning of September.

The express reached him several hours since, and an answer has been received, informing us that we may expect to see him, in an hour or two."
