looked until our eyes and legs were tired,
no horses or carriages are permitted on
the grounds, pedestrians only are allowed
to traverse these magnificent distances,
lie was now noon, and we sat down in q
little cafe for refreshments. and left, after
our veteran Pole had pockefed the Jumps
of sugar that remained on the plate: this
is custom with Parisians who are sciep.
tlhcally and viciously economical. After
!ucheon we went through the picture gal
lerles full OF the paintings Of the So
caiied masters, who prostituted their
genius in pictorial apotheoses Of
royal brigands, pimps, and courte-
sans. In the different palaces we
saw the chairs in which the Kings and
Emperors of France had sat, the desks lat
which they had written, the beds on which
they slept, the chambers that had wit
messed the loves and humiliations of
Madame Maintenon and Josephine. In a
densely shaded park was the plain coun"
try residence of Marie Antionete, sur
rounded by the picturesque cottages of
the Swiss village she had built, and near
by, amid lakes, grottos, trees and fountains
OF paradlslacal beauty, was the pavilion
where she delighted to meet all the ladies
and gentleman of her court, all arrayed as
Swiss peasants, play the life of simple
pastoral people, trying to ignore the
black cloud surcharged with the vindic
tiveness of years of oppression, that was
already appearing in the horizon of Paris
No matter how thoroughly informed the
foreign reader may be in French history
and literature, visit to France will be
scarcely less as valuable as a revelation
than as an Interpretation. There is much
to admire, but more to pity, in all that we
see OF this ripe, It not rotten, civilization,
whose inspiration has been military glory,
and whose pose is not so much that of the
dying gladiator prone in defense, as that of
the brlgand who chooses his life and de- |
serves his doom.
1t is not remarkable that the French, or |
rather the Parisians are nation of |
artists, that they have attained an indie |
exquisiteness in every variety of |
orDamentation, that they excel all other
people on canvass and in marble-iD |
suggested by the comprehensive |
to kalon y of the Greeks. They have had |
before them for generations treasures of |
the aesthetic world, their infant eyes have
opened upon, and their youthful taste has
been nurtured by the most splendid speci-
mems IN every department of the fine arts:
Ind, If the theories of new school of
science may be true they have had the
advantage of hereditary impetus, or pre-
fatal bias.
1t is quite common to hear our fellow
ountrymen deplore our modest attain
nents in art, and regret that we have no
,romise of reaching the excellence of the
french. They do not know at what price
he distinction has been attained by this
'eople, and they forget that we are com
nlssioned by our antecedents, and by the
ge, with subiimer, sterner duties than the
nJoyment of even the most refined of
ensuous beannes. c. A. s.
