aways ; but a certain reserve prevails on this head in the biography of the Count de Fallouxwho fears lest some indiscreet revelation
should injure the " noble , measures" now being- undertaken by Alexander II ., in conjunction with the nobles of his empire , for

last twenty years , giving numerous private letters from men and women engaged in the heart of the various struggles . In 1850
she lost her _bxisband , who had attained the extreme age of ninetytwo , and from that time she retired more and more from the world ,
though a circle of intimate friends still met in the Rue St . Dominique . M . de _Lamartinethe Prince Albert de Broglieand M . de
, , Toqueville , appear on the scene ; from the latter are many profoundly interesting letters on the state of France , and the differences
between ancient and modern society . So this gentle and pious life wore away , in the exercise of every Christian duty , and in the
cultivation of every intellectual faculty , until the autumn of 185 7 , when she died , full of years and honors . The closing scenes are described
in Count a long de letter Montalembert written at , showing the time by the the tender Count reverence de Falloux in which to the

by a high worldly calling , yet so simple and humble that she deemed nothing beneath her sympathythe uiet story of this Russian lady ' s
earthly existence has charmed , thousands q of readers in the country
cf her adoption . May it find a few sympathising hearts in our own !
