The DUCHESS p'ANGoULKMK, DAUGHTER OF LOUIS

Duchess d'Angouleme Inhablts tae first floor. She
received me standing in her saloon, a very largo
room but very PLAIN, furnished without the least
luxury, and IRON which the view extends westward
over the Syrian Alps. She must be about seventy
years OF age, and consequently has no personal
prretenslons; she Is said never to have had any.
Her severe toilet is suited to her age From her
organization, she has harsh voice and bluntness
OF tone, which IN her are involuntary but which
are said, in the days Of her greatness, have pre-
vented her from appearing smlabe when she most
wished to be So. She asked me concerning France
with the most lively interest, but with great tact
and moderation. She inquired if the people OF
Paris had any religious sentimentsl She spoke
with lively admiration of the Christian death Of the
Archbishop OF Paris on the barbados of June.
Except thus, no proper name had been pronounced.

fallen dynasty and its government. "Still, ma

Christian magnanimity, the day on which this in

painful Of your lfe." She remained silent, but
looked at me with an air which seemed to say,
You are asking too much" The moderation OF
her words was unalterable; not syllable of re-

with some feelings Of pride. assuredly very legti-
mate, butno trace of triumph, of satisfied veng ance,
was 10 be iound In any Of her words. Ii may be
boldly said that no vindictvc feeling can be found
in this soul, which has offered a holocaust TO God
all ITS pains and all Its passions. She keeps in her
bedchamber, the austenty OF which IL almost mo-
nastic, only such objects are calculated to revive
the tragic scenes Of her early youth-the portraits
the Princess de Lamballe; and near her bed, which
has not even curtain, stands Pre- dieu full of OBJ
lects most scored IN her eyes-the black vest which
her father wore when he assembled the scaffold-
the lace cap which her mother made with her own
hands to appear in before the revolutionary tribu-
nal She alone has the key OF these sad relies,
and once year, on the 2lst Of January, she takes
them from the requsryi in which they are enclosed,
and surrounds herself with them ia order to bring
herself into closer communion with the beloved
dead by whom they were worn. On that day she
buries her tears in complete secusion; she sancii
fies the blood-stalned anniversary by solitude and
prayer.
