Her life, says Bainto-Bouve, was that of & hird forover on the bough, and tho bough was dry and loafless, and her nost tho home of mourning, It was from tho renlity of her own sorrows that she soquired what one of her most sympathotio critics stylod hor gift of toars; it was in this way sho learned to depict the charm of that melancholy which M. de Begur calls tho luxury of grief. Bo exquisito was tho elastioity of her mensitive nature, and so trustful her repose in the God whom she loved, that, amid all the trinls of hor strickon lifo, from which she ac- quired o habit of _suffering, sho rodo over tho wave,—neyor sank below it.
