But she seems to have had craving for
power Vigor of intellect she undoubtedly pos

was unified for the diZzer heights of ambi-

A watcher of the exciting developments of the
Fronde, rather than a participant in them
though circumstances forced more than one

them well. Nine. de Motteville was ju-

because she was honestly desirous of being

furthest who was most tactful. She is never
more eloQuently herself than when she says:
The best things are level with the worst
when they are not wisely done, and virtue taken
askew has often caused much evil as it's con-
trary.' This innOcenty cynical philosophy does
not make us like her any the less; on the con-

MELANCHOLY.
BY THOMAS HOOD.

All things are touched with melancholy.

Bring on conclusions of disgust
Like the sweet blossoms of the May
Whose fragrance ends in must.

Her SighS and tears and musings holy
There is music in the life
That sounds with idiot laughter solely;

But has its chord in Melancholy.

herself TO the personal service of Anne of tus-

regency, and she was with her thereafter until
