respected. Occasionally a mourner may be seen,
who looks in vain for the stone which should
mark the spot where his friend is laid. The tombs
were used as ramparts for the enemy, and the iron
crosses which were on- the monuments have been
broken up to serve for grape-shot. The moral
condition of the poople is more distressing to witness
than the serious havoc committed by the enemy o'n
the walls of the town and the surrounding country. The
old city has long lost all remembrance of its German
origin, and its inhabitants feel that the Germans can
never restore to them their old associations, their
books and manuscripts which they preserved with
such scrupulous care, above all they cannet restore to
them the friends and relations who have fallen during the
sad and severe struggle. The different feelings which
animate the minds of the two races, the conquerors
and the conquered, may be best analysed by the
recollection that they refer to the Test and the future.
The Frenchman mourns over the relic of his splendid
city, so rich in historic associations, and so promising
in its prosperity ; while the German turns from the
ruins of the present to contemplate the grandeur
of the future. These eager and curious
visitors, who crowd in hundreds to feast
their eyes on the Strasburg disaster, are gazing, as
they think, on the new capital of the Duchy of
Ba ien, and a perhaps pardonable feeling of exultation
arises as they realise the full extent of their recent
triumphs. An impartial and unprejudiced observer
can make full allowances for both sides, but the
representation of Strasburg and its surrounding
scenery just now affords a striking illustration of the
price that must be paid for a "glorious victory."
