s people free, is mine: a throne ' Alone were higher; whoso would surpass ' Pompeius, aims at that. Both Consuls stand ' Here; here for battle stand your lawful chiefs: ' And shall this Caesar drag the Senate down? ' Not with such blindness, not so lost to shame ' Does Fortune rule. Does he take heart from Gaul, ' For years on years rebellious, and a life ' Spent there in labour? or because he fled ' Rhine's icy torrent and the shifting pools ' He calls an ocean? or unchallenged sought ' Britannia's cliffs; then turned his back in flight? ' Or does he boast because his citizens ' Were driven in arms to leave their hearths and homes? 'Ah, vain delusion! not from thee they fled: ' My steps they follow-mine, whose conquering signs ' Swept all the ocean,In B.C. 67, Pompeius swept the pirates off the seas. The whole campaign did not last three months. and who, ere the moon ' Twice filled her orb and waned, compelled to flight ' The pirate, shrinking from the open sea, ' And humbly begg

ight Of hoary willow bark they build, which bent On hides of oxen, bears the weight of man And swims the torrent. Thus on sluggish Po Venetians float; and on th' encircling sea Fuso: either spacious, outspread; or, poured into the land (referring to the estuaries) as Mr. Haskins prefers; or, poured round the island. Portable leathern skiffs seem to have been in common use in Caesar's time in the English Channel. These were the rowing boats of the Gauls.(Mommsen, vol. iv., 219.) Are borne Britannia's nations; and when Nile Fills all the land, are Memphis' thirsty reeds Shaped into fragile boats that swim his waves. The further bank thus gained, they haste to curve The fallen forest, and to form the arch By which imperious Sicoris shall be spanned. Yet fearing he might rise in wrath anew, Not on the nearest marge they place the beams, But in mid-field. Thus the presumptuous stream They tame with chastisement, parting his flood In devious channels out; and curb his pride. Petreius, se

Great Britain. Although this name was applied by the French at a very early period to distinguish it from Little Britain, the name of the western peninsular projection of France, called by the Romans Amorica, it was seldom used on that island until the accession of James I. to the crown of England (1603), when the whole of the island, comprising England, Scotland, and Wales, was united under one sovereign. By the legislative union between England and Scotland in 1707, Great Britain became the legal title of the kingdom. The official style of the empire is now United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

ranklin Street in Boston, erected in 1803, or the church in Charlestown, which followed it in 1828. While the original Puritan settlers of the colony were living, there was little inducement for Catholics to come and abide with them, and if either Miles Standish, William Mullins, his daughter Priscilla, or our own doughty captain and commander-in-chief of the Newe Towne forces, Daniel Patrick, ever attended upon the services of the Roman Church in any portion of what is now called the United Kingdom, they certainly never did so here, and they probably said very little of their past experience. The first record of Catholic worship in the colony is at the time of the visit of Father Duillettes to Boston as a commissioner from Canada, in 1650. He was entertained at the residence of Major-General Gibbons while making negotiations for a treaty of alliance. From this time there were probably no Catholic services until they were held upon the ships of the French fleet in the harbor
