himself and family The story is
long and its leading incidents would
not be new to any of my readers One
little anecdote, however, which gave
relief to the tragic tale, so much a
mused me that 1 cannot forbear to re
peat it. In their flight through Ger
many, the female hart of the Gener
al's family were obliged to assume
tho guise of Knglish travellers, in or
der to elude the violence of their en
emies. As they had some knowledge
of the language, to which was added
a similarity of national dress, they
succeeded tolerably well among stran
gers. At length they were thrown in
contact with an English waiting maid
who had emigrated to the continent
xome years before. Serious fears of
detection were here apprehended.
But the poor girl entertaining no
doubt, that the ladies were really
Knglish, although she found difficulty
in understanding them, and as they
were supposed to have left her native
country at a much ater period than
herself, she came to the melancholy
conclusion, that by a long residence
abroad, she had lost her cauther
tougue! lu the midst of walks, conversa
tions, and enjoyments like these, (tie
and the weather wa unpleasant: a
servant should be sent to engage pla
ces for us, and it would be ity to
reach the village by 8 o'clock, the
hour for the departure of the coach
on the following day." In vain w ro
any suggestions opposed to thes kind
persuasions; and at 10 o'clock, we rs
tired for the third night to the ebam
brn of the Chateau.
The next morning at 7, we found
both the General and bis son i the
drawing room before us, with c flee
upon the table, and his own- ooam at
the door, in readiness to take us lo
Uose. In a few minutes more, a cor
dial grasp ojf the hand aod the parting
benediction of the patriarch, produced
a state of feeling whieh on our part
admitted a few words; and we left La
Grange with a full conviction, that if
there is a paradise o earth; it nvosr
be found in the domestic, and if unal
loyed happiness be the portion of ny
mortal, it must consist in the luxury
of such feelings, and in the prc tce
of such virtues as are possessed by
General Lafayette.
