The Canadian melodies are sometimes very beautiful, and a more exhilarating mode of travel can hardly be imagined than a voyage over these waters, amid all the wild magnificence of nature, with the measured strokes of the oar keeping time to the strains of "Le Rosier Blanc," "En roulant ma Boule," or "Lève ton pied, ma jolie Bergère."
I cannot let the old Conservatoire in the Rue Bergère go without paying it a last farewell, for I loved it deeply as we all love the things of our youth. I loved its antiquity, the utter absence of any modern note, and its atmosphere of other days.
She rang the bell and inquired from the footman if he knew what had become of the papers. Of course he did not know, could not imagine servants never know, nor can imagine what have become of newspapers but he would inquire.

We became pleasant companions, and concluded on Sunday evening to go to the "Follies Bergere" in American parlance a variety theater. Ten minutes' drive brought us to a very large building, lighted as if by sunlight, where a hundred finely-dressed men and women crowded for entrance.
The speeches done, the governor suggested that the national spirit be interpreted to him in pantomine. "They must be enlivened with alcohol or they will not move," said Guillitoue.
