hates new faces: in old times he could
not bear. to part with servant, and 7
know he has kept Ministers whom he dis
liked and disapproved only because he
dld not ike the enabaaras of sending them
away. His great pleasures are riding,
walking, and, above all, fine scenery. I
remember walking with him and Prince
Napoleon one fine evening on Lansdowns
hill, near Bath. The view was enchant-
ing: he sat down to admire. "Look,n he
said, Eat Napoleon; he does not care
fsrthing for all this. I could sit here for
hours" He employed me some days ago
TO make enquiries for him in Germany in
connection with his book. Mocuuard
wrote me letter of thanks. Louis Ma

words: "Csc; yee rapezls les boates gu'aoait

of Reichstadt and his own brother lived,

nal VINO once assisted in singing the
whole Of the t19th Psalm, and this is
how it is said to have happened. The
parson of church had an invitation to
attend a marriage breakfast, and SO made
his sermon very short in order that he
might be punctual. The clerk, however,
objected to this way of passing the Sun
day, and when the time for singing came
gave out the 10th Psalm. The clergy
man did not at first notice what was GO
ing on and when he did the musicians
were fairly at work and could not be
stopped. The air was never lost. The
fddlers wore out their bows and strings
the flute player blew out his front teeth,
the clarinet never recovered its tone. and
the singers all suffered more or less, but
they kept it up to the bitter end and fin

after four hours hard work. Many OF
