After the Pope had communicated Talley
rand, the latter wrote to n friend, saying: "Comc
and comfort me; come and sup with me- Every
body is going to refuse me fire and water; VIC
shall therefore have nothing this evening but iced
meats and drink nothing but wine."
When Louis XVIII, at the restoration. praised
Taleyrand for his talents and influence the latter
modestly disclaimed the compliment, but added,
with an arch Significance" There is. however,
some inexplicable thing about me which prevents
any government from prospecting that attempts to
set me aside"
A broker, anxious about the rise or fall of
stocks. came once to Talleyrand for information
respecting the truth of rumor that George III
had suddenly died, when the statesman replied,
in confidential tone: 81 shall be delighted if
the information have TO give be of any use to
you" The banker was enchanted at the pro-
spect of obtaining authentic intelligence from so
high source; and Talleyrand, with mysteri-
Gus air, continued: "Some say that the king of
England is dead; others, that he is not dead; for
my own part, | believe neither one nor the other.

connected with the destiny OF nations-of the

the majesty to which the nation primarily inter

centuries, and the worldwide issues and inter-

grandeur and sublimity which even the ever
expanding and grasping intellect of American
freemen may not, ut once, be able to comprehend.

these rooms are no more--the Louises, the
Pompadours, Marie Antoinette, have passed
away; Bossuet and Masillon do not thunder
from the pulpit any more: nor do Voltaire or
Molicre delight the crowds of the ante-cham-
bers with their sly sarcasm, or convuisc them
with their fine art ON the stage. 1t Is all still
in these halls The football Of visitors or of the
mperannuated old soldiers who attend them,
are all the sounds that wake the echoes along
the yaulted ceilings Even the pictures, which
seem so animated, make the silence greater by
the contrast, and in their enduring loveliness
and beauty rebuke the evanescence and moth
ingness of human life.
This Is the saddenng part of a thought,
which on the other side has deep significance.
The people Of those days have gone, and with
them the whole spirit Of society in which they
were born Monarchy has gone with them
not only its splendor, but its naughty oppres-
sion. The palaces of the proud old kings are
no longer occupied; they are no longer Of prac-
teal use; they are show-rooms, and museums,
and galleries The Besallee is brilliant Gu
riosity, the Louvre museum, the Luxembourg
a gallery and the Tuileries public Offices and
barracks IL is nearly the same all over Eu-
rope. Society finds no need now for the state
and parade of former days. The glory of
monarchy has departed; and it lived only, If it
lived at all like magnificent old debauchee,
on the little fiittering life that repentance has
left in its withered and wasted body. The
monuments Of its former wealth are around it
but they are almost idle and empty of uses
This was the work of the first French Revo-
lution-thanks to it And it will be impossi-
BILE to revive the old splendors of royalty in
! Europe. Louis Napoleon, under the dictation
of the Emperor of Russia, will probably make
the attempt, but will be dashed to pieces before
he has brought the experiment to an end. No;
monarchy, save in Russia, is dead but in the
place Of it there still lives powerful aristocra-
cyan aristocracy OF birth and an aristocracy
of wealth--the most formidable enemy to the
growth and freedom of the people that now ex-
lists have no doubt myself of the malicious
ambition Of the great Northern Gar; but he
does not seem to me an object so much to be
dreaded as the spirit of aristocracy which
paralyzes and letters European society. The
| Democrats, when the battle comes, will find it
easier to repel the encroachments of an army
of despotism than TO relieve themselves of the
nsidous treacheries of those who fancy them
selves the better classes.
At present, the external tranquility of Paris
