ANECDOTES OF TALLEYRAND.
Yours,

On "a rumour the death of George the Third,
| when Talleyrand was Minister for Foreign At
fairs, great Spectator in the funds requested an
| audience His motive was OWNED the death OF
the King was likely to affect the funds, and he
wished of accurate information. Talleyrand
with imperturbable gravity, told him that some
saia lo was dead-others SAID he was not, but
that for his part he neither believed one nor the
other: Z" tell you this in confidence, but be sure
not to quote me- We presume that his art of
talking great deal without saying any thing
to which Napoleon bears testimony, was not
ute so gross this specimen of mystifca-
ton the Emperor, however, on the report of
O'Meara, used to say that his slpperness wa s
marvellous, and that after sending for him to oh
tain specific communication, he used to be as
toDIshed, after he was gone, on finding how lit
tie he had got out of him.
On one occasion, when some secret project
had been betrayed to the Spanish Anbassado r
D'Azara, Taleyrand devised the means eff multi
flying the effect of the communication he or
derod MS carriage, and went and confided he
whole plan TO the Ambassador himself, as mar
of his confidential friendship D'Azara lmmedi
ately wrote home to say that he had been de.
Ceifeu. hc was sure no Sucn plan was lu.ta-
ton.
Taerrand looked with small favour on tn @
new fivorite Of Louis, NJ, Dccazos One day
when Tallcyrand closstcd with the King
Nj. Decaze made his entrance through small
private door. All Monsieur" said he, you
must be very great man to get in by so small
door," The Ming began to LAUGH and 'I''
| was considerably disconnected.
SOMEBODY told him NJ. dc Scm-was get
ting fat. " Sem-get fat !" said he that is a
thing | do not understand" Why not, Mon
scigncur :" " Why ? because do not soc ,ohat
interest Sem-can have in getting fat"
| Mr.. Flourens, French Savant, having made
many experiments on the influence which cold
| exercises animals, has drawn from them the
conclusion that the exposure to prolonged cold
is the most powerful of the causes which may
induce pulmonary consumption; and that on the
contrary living in warm place. is so powerful
remedy against that disease, that it is of itself
sufficient 10 cure il in all cases where the evil
has not reached its highest degree.

Where not sunbeam breaks the gloom,
And not a flowrct smiles beneath,

Who dwell in darkness and in death,
And such were life without the ray

It's this that makes our earth n henvcn
Brightis tho golden sun above,
And beautiful the flowers that bloom,
And all is joy, and all is love,
Reflected from the world to come.
