MADAME LAFAYETTE—All persons in
j this country understand the character of the pa*
! triotic and departed Layfayette; they compre
hend the ardor of his nature and his love of a
plain Republic. There are not so many, how
ever, who know any thing of the wife whom he '
loved as a part of himself, and with whom he
lived for many years in the happiest connexion.
From a letter written by the gallant husband af
ter her deatli in ISOS, ard translated from the
last memoirs of Lafayette lately published in
France, we extract the following, by which it
would seem that the General regarded his lady
as the younger DTsradi in these modern days,1
regards her whom he proudly acknowledges to
I be his “best friend and perfect wife.” Of such a
woman he writes thu*:
“Dining the thirty four years of a union in
which tier tenderness, her goodness, her eleva
tion, the generosity ot her soul charmed, embel
lished, did honor to my life, I was so accustom
ed to oil that she was to me that I did not distin
guish her from my ow n existence, * lie was
fourteen years old arid I was sixteen when her
heart amalgamated itself with aii which could in
terest me 1 thought 1 loved her, that I could
not do without her, hut it w'as only when I had
lost her that 1 was abie to discover what remain
ed to me for the close of a life which had been so
diversified, and for which nevertheless there re
mains no longer oilier happiness or even content.
Though she was attached to me, I may say so,
by the most passionate sentiment, 1 never per
ceived in her the lightest shade of authorilative
ness (a exigence) or discontent; never any thing
which will not leave mo the entire freedom in
all my undertakings. And if J go back to the
days of our youth, 1 find in her traits of an unex
ampled delicacy and generosity. You saw her,
associated, heart and soul, in all my sentiments,
my political wishes, enjoying every thing which i
might confer honor on me ; still more, as
she would say, what made me to be wholly
known, and, more than all, glorying in those
occasions when she sawr me sacrifice glory
to a sentiment of goodness. Her aunt, Madame
Tesse, said to me yesterday, ‘I never could have
imagined that one could be such a fanatic for your
opinions, and yet so free from party spirit.” In
deed, her attachment to our doctrines never for
a moment abated her indulgence, her compas
sion, her good will for persons of another party.
She was never soured by the violent hatred of
which I was the object; ill-treatment and injuri
ous conduct towards me were regarded by her
as follies indifferent to her from the point from
which she looked at them, and where her good
opinion chose to place me.
“Hers was a most entire devotion. 1 may
say that during thirty-four years I never suffered
for a moment a shadow' of restraint; that all her
habits were, without affectation, subordinate to
my convenience; that I had the satisfaction to see
my most skeptical friends as constantly received,
as w’ell beloved, as much esteemed, and their
virtues as completely acknowledged as if there
; had been no difference of religious opinion; that
i she never expressed any othersentiment than that
of hope; that in continuing to reflect with the
uprightness of heart which she knew* belonged to
me, 1 should finally be convinced. It was with
this feeling she left inc her last regards, begging
me to read for the love of her some books, which
i shall certainly examine again with a new in
terest, and calling her religion, to make me love
it better, perfect freedom. She oflen expressed
to me the thought that she shoulJ go to heaven;
and, dare I add, that this idea was not sufficient
to reconcile her to quitting me. She often said
to me, life is short, full of trouble, may we meet
again in God. May we pass eternity together.
She wished me, she wished us ail the [>cace of
the Lord. Sometimes she was heard pra)ing in
her bed.

celestial in the manner in which she recited tw ice
in succession with a firm voice a passage of
scripture applicable to her situation, the same
passage which she recited to tier daughter on
perceiving the spires of Olmutz. Shall l speak i
to you of the pleasure, ever renewed, which an
entire confidence in her gare me; which was
never exacted; which was received at the end of
three months as at the first day; which was justi- j
fied by a discretion proof against all things—by
an admirable understanding of all my let-lings,
my wants, and the wishes of my heart? All this
was mingled with a sentiment so tender and an
opinion so exalted —a worship, if 1 dare sole*,
speak, so sweet and flattering, more especially
gratify ing as coming from tin* most perfectly na
tural and sincere person who ever lived!”
NO IMITATION.—A Frenchman went into
an eating house to warm his hands. The pro- j
prirtor asked him what he would like to have.
“Any thing you please,” was the reply.
“Would you like to take roast goose?”
“If you please.”
The Frenchman made a good dinner, and was
about to go, when the eating house keeper asked
for payment.
“What for?” exclaimed the Frenchman, “I
have called for nothing. You ask inc if I will j
take this, and if 1 will take that, and 1 say, if you '
please.”
'The landlord pleased with his address, let him
(iff. He told a friend of his good fortune, who I
tried to “come the same game,” but with very j
different success; for he was kicked out of doors j
“The first man was an original,” said the land- !
lord, “but \ on are an imitator.”
THE \IU\S L\ ITALY.- If Italy be the ;
mother of arts the Italians arc their children.— |
In England conversation is monopolized by poll- j
tics and the weather; m France it is sustained by ,
the Theatres; in Italy it is of the fine ai ls. Hire
an apartment in Home, and hang your walls with
pictures few of your English visitors will ever be
conscious of their existence; but the people em
ployed to arrange or park them, the tradesmen
who chance to enter, will ever he ready with an
observation dictated by the interest they feci in i
vour tastes, and by an intelligence, misdirected
it may be, but at least awakened. Whilst rend
ing among a people who thus inhale taste as
with their native air, and surrounded by monu
ments of genius,it is not difficult to imbibe sym
pathy with such feelings. From admiring to ac
quiring is an easy step, but one which should be .
taken with discretion. Those who can afford to >
pay dearly for their experience may yield to a ,
momentary impulse of fancy, and purchase pieces j
which they will soon part with at any sacrifice.— j
But others uith greater prudence, or mean-, will ;
form, arid, to a ceitain point cultivate, their taste (
ere they begin to gratify it. Even person', u bo, j
in England, had som>' pretensions to connoisseur
; „hip will do well to obscive the like caution, for j
m italv their ears will be confounded by new |
names and schools previously unheard of, in con- ;
nexion with worl-s of high merit and unquestion- j
able attractions.—Foregn Quarterly.___
