A Paris letter SAYS the Empress Eugene
begins to look old. There are deep lines at
each side of her mouth, and her whole face
looks drawn and haggard. The little flat
crane hat which she wears pushed back
from her temples seems too youthful for her
worn face, but it is a relief not to see her lips

mOustache Just budding on his upper lip
will soon mar the present perfection OF the

transcript from a sermon by the Rev. Robert

Englishman, with iron-gray hair and gray

bled his friend Froude; to me there was
something in his face which suggested our
own Emerson, and something else which
suggested George Macdonald, but he was less
philosophical than Emerson and less poetic
