Here, after many months of tears, she gradually regained composure, as time healed the wound which had been inflicted upon her heart. lt was soon evident that there was no surer way of securing the favor of Napoleon than by paying marked attention to Josephine.- She was consequently treated with the utmost defercnce by aii the ambassadors ot foreign courts and all the crowned heads of Europe. .-.. ,.,.... .,. One of the ladies who had been at, tached 10 the brilliant cour, of Josephine, upon the fall of her mistrss was anxious | to abandon her, and to revolve as sat. elite around the new luminary, Maria Louisa.
