FRESCII ROYALTY.
Ill lth Time (Jrnrrttllr that Froach Kins
llnre IIhiI.
"Uneasy lies the head that wears the
Crown," is the sentiment put into the tujuth
of Henry IV, proud BolinbroUe, who in his
own career as URiirpur, srnl in the murder of
his piodeceHMJi4, Lelped to point the moral.
The recent deposition of Napoleon III, an 1
the vicissitudes of his career, call to uiiui
so ice hintorictil recolleutious which, if not
lery iuMrnrtive in this age of repullicaniBm,
are at least interesting. French history is
specially r j lete with the misfortunes of
tojalty.
Louin rLilippe, the royal predecessor of
Louis Napoleon, began by ll ioiug for his life
from the republicans vf '-;:, and ended by
fleeing before the republicans of '4S. His
nrly experience had taught him to put no
faith in the louder mercies of an excited
people, wboie enthusiasm might easily rnn
into fanaticism.
Charles X, a true Bourbon of the direct
line, who hail learned no good nor forgotten
any evil in the exile and adversity of his race,
insisted on ruling as of Divin right. The
wdonntihcrs against the press and the advice
of the Tolignacs brought tho revolution of
lsr.O and the three days of July upon Paris,
ai d Charles X was again an exile.
Napoleon, the man of destiny and favorite
cf fortune, could only be hurled from his
) ride of place by the combined power of all
the kings. He abdicated once, broke faith,
v as again deposed, and ended his career at
Mt. Helena, l'rometheus bound to the rock,
devoured by ceaseless regrets and memories.
Louis XVI perished by the guillotine. A
Lolpleas, haiuiliss man, npon whose unhappy
Lead the sins of his ancestors were visited.
Louis XVII, a baby king, a mere legitimist
hantoni of loyalty, died in the Temple from
privation and negleot.
Louis XV le Desire, a minister of profli
gacy, the friend of Fonipadoiir and Dubarry,
the proprietor of Le Pare aux Cerfs, died a
king and in his bed, but with none to close
Lis eyes, for every attendant was away from
the dying coucb, either on pleasure or to pay
court to the rising sun.
Henry IV, the great King, the Frenchman's
royal ideal, lived a youth of courteous cap
tivity, and after a manhood of war attained
Lis crown by abjuring his religion, and died
by the knife of Kavaillac in l;io.
Charles IX, the abettor of St. Bartholo
mew's Day massacre, died of disease of body
and mind, brought on by remorse for the
Lorrid crime.
Henry HI, a profligate and unprincipled
ruler, was assassinated by Jacques Clement,
a Dominican monk, in l."S!, and masses were
ottered in church for the assassin.
Henry II, a brave and able prince, to whom
van owing the annexation of Metz, Verdun,
and Toul, with the adjoining country, as the
price of his alliance with Brandenburg (now
Prussia) agmnst Charles V and Austria, was
killed by the stroke of a lance ia the eye in
irr:.
Francis I, the last of the kings of chivalry,
fell before tho astute policy and vast power
of Charles V, against whose combinations of
Spanish infantry and German Lanzkneoht
with French generalship, the brilliant viotors
of Marignan were powerless. He was taken
prisoner at Pavia, and confined at Madrid
until conditions of peace were forced npon
him so humiliating that he refused to be
bound by his own compact, and a terrible
war of extermination was waged, both coun
tries wasting France with lire and sword until
they laid down their arms from sheer ex
haust ion.
Charles VII, daring whose reign Joan of
Aro rescued France from the English, closed
a not inglorious reign by falling into a melan
choly and starving himself to death.
Charles I, during whose reign the despe
rate civil wur of the Armaguacs and Burgun
dians raged, became insane, and was virtu
ally a pti.oner in the hands of either faction.
John, tie prisoner of the Black Prince at
the battle of Poitiers, V.l, and taken away
to England, was not liberated for many
years. These wars of dynasty led to fright
ful sufl'eriL'K in the people, amid which
Charles the Dauphin, afterwards king, wan
dered up and down the country a homeless
adventurer.
Louis IX, or St. Louis, famous for his piety
and cruEucts against the Moslem, was made
prisoner by the Egyptians. The same king,
persisting iu his conversion of the Moors,
was cairitd off by plague at Tunis.
Charles the Fat, Louis IV, and other Louis,
the debonuaire kings of that age, were alter
nate y captives and conquerors. In those
outrbgeous days of fraud and violence, when
every evil passion raged with impunity, the
imprisonment or murder even of kings was a
email matter, and it is scarcely worth while
to enumerate the inglorious vicissitudes of
such a su .cession of weak tyrants and brutal
marauders.
CiropiuM Amid ibe last
AncHj:oLociV in England the uojie of wal-
TEB SAVAGE LAXDOB.
This month the British Archreologioal So
ciety is taking a peculiarly interesting excur
sion. The members met at Hereford on the
Mh instant, and the next day took a trip to
Uanthony Abbey. A large party left the
Great Western Kailway for Llaafihangel, a
station on the Newport, Abergavenny and
Hereford Kailway, distance about fifteen
miles from Hereford and about four from
Abergaveuuy. Here coaches from Aberga
venny weie waiting their arrival, and the rest
of the j ourney (six miles) was performed by
road. The scenery throughout the jurney was
very beautiful, and its beauty was enhanced
by gleams of sunshine and shadows of passing
clouds which occasionally touched the moun
tain tops.
ApproacLing Llanfihangel, the Holy Moun
tain has a singular appearance. It is a coni
cal bill, a portion of which has slipped away
from the main body the effect of a landslip,
but the subject of superstitious legends. The
"Sugar Lout" towers above all the mountains
ia the neighborhood of Abergavenny a
xniniatree Vesuvius, without the volcano,
IfSG feet high. The summit commands views
of great extent and magnificence, overlook
ing ranges of mountains on the nerth and
west, and extending to the Malvern hills a
the east. There is a good road from Llan
fihangel to Lianthony Abbey, for the
greater part of which the publio and
tourists are indebted to the late Wal
ter Savage L&ndor, who was the owner
of Lianthony and the manor pertaining
thereto, and to whose family it still belongs.
The road inds all the way np the romantio
little valley of the Hondhu, a small mountain
stream, whose crystal waters are rarely soiled
with dirt, even in wet weather. A mile or
two from Llanfihangel a singular cave or
recess in the bills is called the Yoke, and
Cwniyvy Church and village of two or three
houses, on the east slope of the bills, form a
beautiful picture. Indeed, the views all up
the vallev are very beautiful and varied
High bills or mountains, called the Hatterill
Hills spurs oi me luacK Mountains risiug
from from Xv i"tie nun on on fia.
Lianthony Abbey Is situated, ou tUQ uortU
or east bank of the Hondhu, about six mile?
from Llanfihangel. Its history was narrated
on tho spot by Mr. E. Koberts, F. S. A. Tho
init.s are carefully preserved, albeit some
portions of them are desecrated ia the eyes
.( Mcb,volpgist8 by being utilized. JJ. g.
the most substantial portion of the ruins
the west end with its double towers is used
for an inn, the utmost resources of which
were called into exercise by the demands of
(he travellers. Another portion is used as a
cartbouse. As to the history of the priory of
Elf nt bony, it is said (though the authority is
doubted), that St. David built a cell here in
MM, which fell to ruins; but in the reign of
W illiam limns a kinsman of Iluch do Laci,
I.nci, and Ernest, chaplain to Queen Maud,
finished a chapel on the same site in 1103;
and that subsequently, the foundation of
a grand monastery of Black Canons of the
order of St. Anguptine was laid and the
htmctuie completed about 1120. The church
was stvled Llandcwiant lioudeni, tho Church
of David, on the river Hondhu, or black
water hence Lianthony. Ihe privations
which the monks had to undergo in this se
cluded position, Bhut out from the world, led
to a daughter church being formed at Glou
cester, and the result was that this magnifi
cent monastic establishment was founded,
built, endowed, flourishing, and deserted
within a period of thirty years. At the com
mencement of the present century the place
was almost inaccessible for want of roads.
The road to Lianthony at present stops there,
all beyond being narrow lanes. The new
monastery which is about to be built by
i atner Ignatius is tour or hve miles limber
p the valley, in an even more remote district
than the ruined abbey.
The Biutish Museum Readino Hoom. The
room set apart for readers in 1751) was a cor
ner room in the base story of Montague House,
furnished with a wainscot table and twenty
chairs. To this Btudy Dr. Johnson, Dr.
Lowth, and David Hume frequently went;
and far from speaking scornf ullv of it, they
congratulated themselves on the liberality of
its arrangements. In due course readers
were provided with more space and better
chairs in what British Museum students of
fifteen years standing are wont to refer to as
"the old reading room" the two apartments
in an ugly building in the rear of the main
tuihce ot the museum, where the compilers
on the ever-growing and never-to-be-ended
catalogue work. It was in these stuffy rooms
that the literary aspirant, fresh from college,
used to make acquaintance with the "museum
headache" and the "museum flea," and amuse
himself during minutes of repose from study
witn watcuing the grotesque faces, indescri
bable garments, and eccentrio manners of a
departed generation of bookworms. As we
write, some of these comical and more or
less useful people of letters reappear to afford
us mournful diversion the historical ladv

wnu a strong inina ana moustache, who
never condescended to address an attendant
in a voice that was not audible from end to
end of both rooms; the feeble old gentleman
of snuffy and romantic tastes, who never
read anything but the Waverley novels, which
he used to peruse over and over again, year
in and year out, taking with each paragraph
of the artist's fascinating prose a huge pinch
of Friii oes Mixture, which lay beside him on
the table in a paper tray; the piquant and
rather impudent damsel who daily came to
read and topped to chatter in the common
tucty, where sue always seated herself
at tfae corner of a table, so thai
her scarlet petti joat and stockings
were visible to the greatest possible number
of spectators; the huge, gigantio, red-nosed,
ragged tatterdemalion, who camo daily to his
seat to study the Fathers, and to impart to
Lis particular corner of the room an odor of
spirituous liquors. Visions also arise before
us of ancient attendants who have found rest
from their labors the kindly, civil old man
who never appeared on duty without a big
n ig on his bead, and a bright flower in bis
buttonhole; and the garrulous scholar, over
flowing with Latin quotations and indica
tions of a ruinous taste for gin and beer;
who bad studied books before be came to
earn bis livelihood by carrying them about.
msteaa oi tne two poor back rooms we
now have the ground hall of study, with itu
luxurious seats, its unmanageable draughts
oi coia ana Bcarceiy less aniicting supplies
of hot air the ball for which every pious
and grateful student offers a daily prayer in
uei a' I oi bir Anthony 1'anizzi. in the early
days of the institution, the readers numbered
about half-a-dozen daily, while during the
last three years the daily average has been
i! ll',:!.ri4 and 357, t. e., in 18(56 there were
W,K,7 readers; in 18G7, 10:i,4(U); and in 1808,
103,52!). That this splendid reading-room
is all that we could desire, or all that
it was intended to be, cannot be said so
long as the efforts of the authorities to con
quer its draughts are unsuccessful. Again,
readers especially those whose time is excep
tionally valuable exclaim withreason against
the time which aa applicant for a "volume
l as to wait for it if he gives in bis ticket in
the middle or toward the close of the day;
while the reader who enters the room early
gets the beoks which be requires in a few
minutes. The cause is plain. By the middle
of the day the written applications for books
have become numerous; and as each applica
tion ia taken in turn, the late comers' tickets
receive no attention till the attendants have
disposed of an accumulation of prior demands.
An industrious author by profession says:
"I can't afford to use the musenin library.
I am so circumstanced that I can't visit the
reading room till the after part of the day,
when I should be kept so long waiting in
idleness for the desired works that the
privilege of using them would be purchased
too dearly. On the whole, I find it cheaper
to buy books than to read.at the museum.
Lc-ndon Athenaum.
Tbe recent attempt to assassinate Napoleon
was probably made for the purpose of ascer
taining whether or not it is possible to kill a
dead man. The ex-Emperor Is about as near
dead, both mentally and physically, as a man
can be and still remain in tbe land of the living.
The assassination joke would have oeen a queer
one, however, had it been accomplished.
