"Le ressort d'une democratic est la vertu," said wise Montesquieu.

Hence Maimie came to have a smattering of the English poets, could talk in conversation-book French, and could dash off most of the notes of a few waltzes and marches from the best composers, her piece de resistance, however, being "La Priere d'une Vierge."

Vous êtes les aînés d'une race de braves, Vous êtes les fits des géans!" V. HUGO, Chants du Crépuscule. "Politiken, mine Herrer!"
