THE DUTY OF A PRIEST.

La Semaine Litteraire relates this: The church tower of a certain village in the hands of the enemy proved very annoying to a particular portion of the French trenches. It was decided accordingly that it must be destroyed, and a good artillerist was chosen for the purpose. He accordingly addressed himself to his task, and, having taken careful aim, succeeded eventually . in levelling the tower by a well-directed shot. Congratulations followed, to which the gunner replied: " You would felicitate me all the more, perhaps, although there is litt'.e need for congratulation, if you knew what I am in civilian -life." "How do' you —what are you?" "I am a priest."
