Resignation.
IL TAXON' Tii.AN3LATAD non Tag nevem .
I propose . simply to relate an incident of which t
was myself a witness. It ferment, of the nuslapebor
ly recollections of my life; one of those thotagbte Us;
wards which the sOul turns wi th a sweet sada* in,
the hour of trial. It teaches a renunciationof tbetUt
bright hopes of this world; a forgetfulness of self, Which,
quiets the murmur within, and calls us to silent re*,
signation.
Should these pages be read, I would not that if
should be by the happy, the completely happy. Hero,
is nothing for them; no invention , no eveots. But'
there are hearts which hwie safer:pa a little, dreamegh
much; hearts inclined to sadness. To such I would
speak, and relate a awry; simple, es is all that is trues;
touching, as is all that is simple.
There is, in the north of France, near the Belgian"
frontier, a little obscure town, quite unknown. The
chances of war have caused it to be surrounded' hi'
high fortifications, which seem to crush the miseratti p .
houses in the centre. The poor tenni, bound by:_ a
chain of walls, has not sine., then planted a single
house on the green sward whirl) surrounded it. The
Population increasing, it has diminished its public!
squares, and has sacrificed specie, regularity and.tun
fort. The houses, crowded together and sti ... fled b
the enclosing walls, have, at a little distance, the &I
-y
I pact of a great prison.
The climate of the north of France, without being -
extremely cold, is dull and sad. Dampness and fog,.
snow and rain, darke n the heavens and tressze the earth
during six months of the par. A thick, dark limokis "
I I o f pit coal rising front each habitation, adds a still
l more sombre aspect to the litle city of the Mirth.
I shall never forget the •thilling sensation of sadness .
which I experienced in crossing the draWbridgeat its ,
entrance. I asked myself. with horror, if there were'
beings who were born and would die here without
having known anything of the rest of the earth. There
were, indeed, some whose destiny it was. But Pruyis
dente, that has hidden kindness under all the blessings ,
which it imparts, has imposed upon the inhabitants of
this village the necessity of labor, thedesire ofacquir- •
l ing the comforts which they do not possess, and, by.
, this means, left these poor disinherited children no
time to observe the sky r and see that it is dull and sun.
!less. They forget the blessings which they do not
possess. But for myself, on entering this dark atnl ,
1 1 ' smoky town, I conjured up the rececti o the
sunny days which had blessed my oll life; on
of f
allall :
the :
hours passed in freedom, with the clear sky above ay..
'head and space open before me. At the moment"
felt grateful for what I had before regarded as gifts
common to all men,—light, air, and the horizon. , .
I lived In this little town eighteen months, and wal
beginning to murmur at this long captivity, when the
following events happened to rne,
- ,
To gain one of the gates of the fortification, I why i
obliged every day in my walks to descend ail* nar
row street like a stairway. the ground heing etn t ln the
form of Steps to rende r the declivity of more essrac..
cuss. In traversing this little street, my thoughts flie
..
outstrippirig my feet . I thought only of the country
which I was about to enjoy. But, one day my *ma.
tton was arrested by a small, miserable looking house,
which appeared to be inhabited. It had only a ground
floor, two windows, a little door between them, and a,
bore, a roof. Its walls were painted deep green. In
the window were a numbe r of squares of thick greets,
ish glass. Day could not overcome this obstacle, nor .
.?
brighten the interior of this dwelling. Besides. the ';
. - -2
street was too narrow for the sun ever to make its ati: , .:
pearence there. It stood in perpetua !g as
however warm might he the day, here it w always .
cold.
-.-
In w inter, whenthe snow lay fmzon on thepaveteents
of the little street, it was impossible to make a step
without the risk of falling It was a deserted ,ra,
too. Perhaps I alone traversed it in a day. I never
remember to have met one there, or seen a bird to rest
for aninstant in a crevice in the walls. I hope. said /
to myself, that this sad house is inhabited by beings
arrived almost at the end of their life, and whose aged
bodies can no longe r griev e or regret. It would be
terrible to be young there.
The dwellers in this little house remained quiet.--
No noise escaped, nu movement could be seen about
it. It was silent as a tomb, and each day I said to my.
self, "IVho can live thus?"
Spring came. In the little street ice changed into
dampness, then dampness was suoceeded by drygronath •
then a few herbs appeared at the font of the wall.--
he l a spot of sky, which could with difficuity be
diguished, become more bright. At last, even 1* '
this gloomy passage, spring let full a shadow of life—
But the little house remained atways silent and with
out movement:
Towards themonth of June, I was walking, as it
' was my custom to dot every day, when I saw, with
deep sadness. a little bunch of violets placed hie glass
on the edge of one of the windows of the house.--.
Ah ! cried I, here is some one who suffers.
To love flowers, one must either be young or have
preserved some remembrance of youth; one 'nest be
entirely absorbed in this material life, and must po.
setts the sweet faculty of doing nothing without being
idle; that is to say, of dreamin g ,r emembering,b4sping. •
In the enjoyment given by the perfume of a flower, •
there is a certain delicacy of soul: It is a little of the
ideal, a little of poetry, which glides into the very midst,
of the realities of life. When, in an existence poor •
and laborious, I see a love of flowers, I fuel that Mere -
is a strUggle between the necessities of life, and the •
instincts of the seal. I: seems to me that I could
almost be familiar with any one who cultivated a little
flower near the wall of his cabin. That bunch of vie.'
lets outdo me and; it seemed to say,—"There ii some
one here who lives, regretting sun, air and happiness;
some one who feels all his deprivations: some otter
whose pleasures are so few, that a poor bunch of'
1 violets, is a joy to this life !"
I looked upon these flowers with .melancholy. I•:
asked if the darkness and cold ofthis little street would .
,
not soon fade them; if the wind could not reach them.
I felt an interest in thorn, and wished they mi g h t -
long be preserved for the person who loved them. ..,
On the morrow I returned. They bad faded, the -
discolored petals were bent over one another; but they .
had been taken care of, end still retained a little per
fume. As T approached, I perceived that the window
IV a open. A ray, I will not say of sunshine, but t f
daylight, penetrated into the house. and made a bright
streak en the floor of the chambers but only served to
!make the darkness around me more apparent, andlny
eyrs could distinguish nothing. The next day I pass.,

birds all sang, the trees were covered with buds, a
thin

One of the windows of the little house wag open_,'
