50 FISHING WITH THE FLY. 



Saguenay ; and Father Marquette made Tadousac his 

 residence for a short time. When he first came to this 

 country in 1665, tradition tells us, he established a mis- 

 sion there and built a log chapel on the site where the 

 church we entered stands. The latter is a wooden 

 building, about twenty-five by thirty feet, with a hand- 

 some altar placed in a recess chancel, the rear wall of 

 which is adorned with three oil paintings. The centre 

 one, over the altar, was the Crucifixion. A small porch, 

 or vestibule, of rough boards, had been added in mod- 

 ern times. A little antique bell swung in the belfry 

 on the east gable, which was surmounted by an iron 

 floriated cross. The church was filled with devout 

 liabitans, mainly there was a sprinkling of summer 

 boarders and anglers who listened with apparent in- 

 terest to the extempore sermon of a young French 

 priest of prepossessing appearance and manner. In 

 the afternoon I attended the English Episcopal Church, 

 about a mile from the hotel, and midway between Ta- 

 dousac and L'Anse a 1'Eau. Here I felt quite at home, 

 enjoyed the services, and joined heartily in the prayer 

 for the " Queen, the Royal Family, and all who are in 

 authority. 5 ' I was compelled to put a U. S. green- 

 back, to represent my contribution of one dollar, upon 

 the plate. I have been sorry ever since that I did not 

 secure a reputation for honesty and fair dealing by add- 

 ing a dime to pay the premium on gold, and thus make 

 good our (then) depreciated currency.
