such perfection. All the paintings by
the most skilful human powers, which he
had previously seen, now sunk low in the

Slowly and majeslically, as if dropping

Robespierre.

"I1e was alone, yet he sat erect, formal,
stiff, precise, as if in his very home he was
not at ease. HIS dress was in harmony
with his posture and chamber; it affected a
nea'ness of its own both 10 the foreign,
both to the sumptuous fashions of the de-
posed mobiles, and the filthy raggedness OF
the sansculo'ts. Frizzled and coll1e, not
hair was out of order, not speck lodged
on the surface of the blue coal, not a wrin-
kle crumpled the snowy vest, with lis un,
der relief of delicate pink. At the first
glance you might have seen in that face
nothing but the i'll favored features of a
s'ckly countenance; at q second glance
you would perceive it had power, a char
acter of its own. The forehead, though
low and compressed was not without lha,
appearance of thought and intelligence
which, il may be observed, that breadth
between the eyebrows almost invariably
gives; the lips were firm and tightly drawn
together, yet ever and anon they trembled
and wriihed restlessly. The eyes, sullen
and gloomy, were yet piercing, and full of
vigor, that did not seem supported by the
thin feeble frame, or the green lividness of
the hues which told OF anxiety and dis
ease.
"Such was the Munimilian Robespierre.
