spurned all the restraints of toiling reason,
and leaped to a conclusion at _a bound
which logic despaired of reachirig. His
most intimate fr-icnds were often as much
confounded at his plaris, as his enemies
were alarmed at his riioveuients. And
yet, riotwi.hstaiidirig this intuitive quick-
ness, he followed out the details wit.li the
same readiness that he compreheriiled
the general plan. The looker-on could
often see nought but corifiision confused;
but when the urgency of circumstances

his friends, and astonished his foes. From

draw an irrstaiitniieoos conclusion, and
that conclusiorr, \\'hetlrer relatinr_r to the
conquest of a kingrloin, or the fashion of
a ladies’ dress, was iricontrovei-iable.——
Arid conscqiieritly, seeing as he did, almost

serted liirri in the hour of need. lie had
been driven from Germany, his enemies
were spread over France, his brother and
wife had tied, his capitol was has ly sur-
rendered to the allied pmvt.-rs and yet he
stood firm. At this time the Ii-g2'tii2z.ot;s
demanded his resignation. Then those
men who had grown beneath t.lic shadow
of his power, who were indebted to him
for ever-ytliiug they possessel, began to
desert and join his foes. Then broke
his miglity licai-t. The strong man bowed
and wept like a child. In the inicnsi-

the ruins of an Empire and crnered uith
the dllrt of a Throne; his herrt filled
‘with grief because of his misfortunes, and,
stung by the ingratitude of his friends, he
souglit a suit-ide's grave. L’-tit the lionr

Scott, Charming, and a lio.~t of smaller

is partially correct. Had he not become
egotistical, we should regard him as a
super-liuman being, possessing more intel-

We wish t’o' speak it word as to his moral:
character. Almost every English nuthop
has represented him as the ideal of moral
depravity. Scott has stained his otherwise
fair fame, and l’»yrori has gratified the bit-'
Ierness of his better malice. Southy has
