Rousseau and the Impostor.

On one occasion Rousseau composed
an opera, which was performed before
King Louis XIV, and met with the
royal approval. The king sent for him,
and If he had put in an appearance he
would probably have obtained a pen
sion. He was. however. of q retiring
disposition and could not bring himself
to face the court. To his friends he
gave as a reason his republican opn-
ions, but his real reason was his shy
ness. Accordingly he fled from the
court and sought the privacy Of coun-
try inn. While he was there a man
came in who began telling the company
that he was the celebrated Rousseau
and proceeded to give an account of
the opera, which he said had been per
formed before the king with great
success.
Most men In Rousseau's position
would have felt nothing but contempt
for the impostor, but this extraordinary
man felt only pity and shame. IL
trembled and blushed So" he tells us
In his Confessions" "for fear the man
should be found out that 1t might have
been thought that was the impostor."
He was afraid that somebody might
come In who knew him and expose the
pretender. At last he could bear 1t no
longer and slipped out unobserved.
Very few people would treat an i'm
poster like at.-Westminster Review.

she has ever known in ten years. We
