old castle Of their kings, rebuilt By Cast.
mer the Great, enriched by his successors,
and devastated by the Austrians. In as
cending the staircases embarrassing the
galleries Of the castle, we find no traces
left of the ornaments described in such
glowing terms of admiration by the travel

thick walls, it, old towers, which still
give it 50 imposing an appearance, and the
recollsctions Of its former heroic jewellers,

dynasties pass beneath its vaultsd roofs.
1t has seen one one Of eur princes seated
on the throne Of the Jagellons, and two
French women, Marie de Gonzague and
Marie d'Arquin, wear the sceptTs OF the
Crown Of Poland. The descendants Of the
Great Gustavus Visa received the snsigns
Of royalty; then the deeendsnts Of the
Electors Of Saxony; then the noble Stan.
islaus do Sezynskin, whose is still blessed
in one Of our provinces; and finally, the
Empress Cathsrins. Now all is over with
those days Of splendor, with those national
festivities which attracted the attention OF
the whols Of Europe.
The castle has been despoiled Of ito
wealth, and robbed Of the crowns Of the
kings, preserving only their tombs.-
There reposs all those whose heart once
beat high beneath the robes ofroyalty; I'M
der that sepulchrai stone lies the entire
history Of FIVE centuries, sometimes fatal

monuments Of Boleslas, Of Casimir the

John the Second: and there the chapel Of
