vent, as far possible, the State and the people

Picture of Paris Forty Years Ago "A Gay
and Brilliant City. ..

1t was now more than thirty years ago,
says FredeIika Bremen, since | first saw
Paris, and, with my family, spent half year
there. Wewere in company, father, mother,
six children, and Swedish servant; now
was here alone. But how well l remember
that time, our family circle like alittle Sean
dinavian vessel tossed on the tempestuous
sea of Parisian life, and half wrecked by it;
remember our hired servant Clair, an ultra
Bonapartist, who piloted us through it, and
who used, on every occasion of want or
reed, TO say in low but significant voice.
Z" Du temps de pEmpereur n in wTlnuse time
every ching was SO different, and, in his
opinion, so much better.
This time was then past, Louis XVII sat
upon his fathers throne, and it was then
the epoch called La ReStdurdtion.
The old Parisian life was, however in its
full bloom. The handsome and the ugly,
luxury and wretchedness, showed them
selves unVailed, side by side. Along the
Boulevards passed a splendid procession of
carriages or people on horseback; spectators
thronged the side alleys, while miserable
wretches displayed their open sores aud
decrepit limbs; women lay on the ground
covered with black clothing, and surrounded
by pale, halfnaked children. The young
gentlemen of the bouleVards leaped over
them. Well dressed young men followed
the ladies begging; dissolute women laid
hands upon the gentlemen.
The streets swarmed in the evening with
human night butterflies; the Palais Royal
blazed with lights, gambling houses and
splendid shops; but after four o'clock in the
afternoon it was dangerous for young lady
to go across its inner court, even by her
mothers side More than twenty theaters
were open every evening to crowded houses;
3 the great French scenic artists, Talma, Du-
chenois, Mile Mars were still alive Pasta
and Mainyille Feodor sang at the opera /;
every theater had its stars, and all had their
passionate WoTshipers.
Laughing pajaEzas skipped along the
pIomenades; jugglers and piekpockets
swarmed old women boiled their soup
under the open sky, and educated their
children by blows; every. where there were
outcries, noise, laughter dancing. The
fountains of the Tuilleries played refresh
ingly in the stiffness of the morning, aud de-
lighted children might be seen there at mid /.
day, skipping about and dancing in rings,
while the gay world circled in splendid
attire through the beautiful alleys. Paris
was grand melo-dramatic spectacle, which
almost turned the head of the young
beholder, and made him both laugh and cry
at the same time.
