TIE FRENCH PEASANT or THE LAST CEN
ruRY. Picture to yourself the French peas
ant Of tho eighteenth century, or I nigh,
say, the peasant now before your eyes, fOl
the mon Il the same his condition d altered
but not his character. Take him as ho
described 10 the document I have quoted
% passionatsly enamorsi Of tho soil, thai
he will spend oil his earnings n purchase IL
at any price. To complete this purchase he
must first pay tax,not to the government
but to other land owners in the neighborhood
as unconnected as himself with the admin.
istration Of public affairs, and hardly moro
influential than he Is. He possesses 1t OF
last his heart is burrid in II with the iced
hosows. This little nook Of ground, which
is his own in this vast universe, fills him
with pride and Independence. But again
these nsighbon cah him from his furrow,
and compel him to come to work for thcm
without wages. He tries hard to defend his
young crops from their game; again they
prevent him.
As he crosses the river they wait for his
passage to levy toll. Ho finds them at the
market, where they sell him the right Of
selling his own produce; and when, on his
return home, he wants to use the remainder
Of his wheat (of that wheat which was plant
ed by his hands. and has grown under his
eyes,) he cannot touch 1t until he has ground
It at the mill and baked 1t at the bake.house
of these men. A portion Of the income Of
his little property is paid away in quitrenh
to them also, and these dues can neither DO
extinguished nor redeemed. Whatever he
does, these troublesome neighbors arc every
where on his path, to disturb his happiness,
to interfere with his labor, to consume his
profits and when these are dismissed, Others
in the black garb of the Church present
themselves to carry of the cloarcst profits Of
his harvest. Picture to yourself the condi-
ton, the wants, the character, the passions
of this man, and compute If you are able,
the stores Of hatred and of envy which are
accumulated in his heart.-De Tocquspiie's
