evolution of this life, came as n necessary con-

In accordance with the principle OF these de-
cisions, Judgment was rendered in curious
case brought beforethe court OF Queen Eleanor
OF England. 1t appears that IA gentleman was
deeply snitten with lady who had given her
affections TO another. She was however so
favorable to him that she promised that, WHOM
ever the time should arrive when she should be
deprived OF her first love- she would then give
ear 10 his prayers and adopt him as the
successor. Now IL came TO pass that "A

intercourse between Provence and Spain, which,
even before. had been considerable. became
intimate and permanent Thus were the lore of
Arabian minstrelsy and the traditions of
Arabian usage enabled to pass in a steady
stream into land eminently calculated to re-
ceive them. a land where the climate invited
to love, where the air wooed to song and where
the nightingale sang sweeter, 1t was said. than in
all tho world beside.
The dazzling sun and glowing climate of
Provence gave 1t from the first striking smili-
tude to the countries Of the East and that sim
ilarity had been extended to Its inhabitants by
repeated coonizations Of the country at the
hands Of Oriental explorers or emigrants. 1t
lay In the old trade route between the East and
Gaul and Britain. The Ph9nicians first brought
the elements Of Eastern luxury TO this most
Oriental of Eastern lands; and Ionian Greeks
from Asia Minor introduced the softest of the
Hellenic forms Of culture, together with those
Oriental tastes which they had learned in their
Asiatic homes. The existence of byzantine
Governors at Marseilles bears witness to n COM
munion between Provence and Constantinople
considerably later than the downfall of the to-
man empire In the West. Coming down nearer
to the twelfth century. the century of the Trou-
badours. we find that no less than five times
had Snracen Emirs guided their hosts into the
heart of Provence, and, not content with the in
fuence OF arms, had endeavored to Moslemize
tho land by the peaceful and surer influence Of
arts and industry. Recent unexpected discov-
cries of disused mines and subterrancan en-
gineering works. the obvious outcome OF a Sar-
acen occupation, testify to the exceeding init
macy OF communication which united the in
habltants ofthe garden OF Europe with the most
polished nation OF the Eastern world. Tho
Provencals consequently, were prepared for
the still more copious infusion of Eastern ele-
mentS which began IN IA
