To-day saw that former beauty, the former
Empress of France entering her temporary London
residence. The tall, erect, and stately figure is
bent and dropping the queenly air is akin to
that the mendcnnt; the fair locks in their lux
uriant wealth of tresses are white as the driven
snow, and thin and scanty in appearance the
large, expressive, and animated eyes, half violet
and half blue in recurrent tints, gray, watery,
and leaden looking the oval face is wrnkled
and worn by cruel care, and the blush of beauty
is supplanted by sepulchral whiteness. IL has
been my lot to see other queens in exile, other
maguates dethrOned, but no one so strongly
arouses sympathetic sorrow as does this widowed
childless, parentless, isolated cx- Empress. But
one consoling comfort is hers. II is in feeding the
hungry, clothing the naked, and comforting the
afflicted. Where the poor wear not their wants on
their sleeves there you will find the prematurely
aged and lettering lady, rescuing social wreck
and holding out hopeful beacon.-BmGdlo
