(a.)—

Il sait qu'il me doit tout, et que, pour sa grandeur,
J'ai foulé sous les pieds remords, crainte, pudeur;
Qu'avec un cœur d'airain exerçant sa puissance,
J'ai fait taire les lois, et gémir l'innocence;
Que pour lui, des Persans bravant l'aversion,
J'ai chéri, j'ai cherché la malédiction.-Esther.

(b.) On avait à peine eu le temps de secouer les rideaux d'indienne violette à fleurs et de jeter sur le lit un couvre-pied de satin jaune qui avait appartenu "à défunt votre grand'mère," disait Mme. Gady à ses filles, lorsque la voiture s'arrêta à la porte. M. de Donissan descendit le premier pour donner la main aux dames.-Derrière les Haies.

(a.)

Ainsi donc un perfide, après tant de miracles,
Pourroit anéantir la foi de tes oracles,

Raviroit aux mortels le plus cher de tes dons,
Le Saint que tu promets et que nous attendons ?
Non, non, ne souffre pas que ces peuples farouches,
Ivres de notre sang, ferment les seules bouches

Qui dans tout l'univers célèbrent tes bienfaits.—Esther.
(b.) Pendant qu'elle se laissait aller à ses espérances, ses yeux
tombèrent sur un fossé au bord du chemin abrité par un saule-
pleureur; les longues branches balayaient les eaux d'une petite
mare au coin de la route et retombaient sur le fossé. Marthe crut
apercevoir un lambeau de drap à travers les feuilles.-Derrière les
Haies.

Washington n'avait point ces qualités brillantes, extraordinaires, qui frappent, au premier aspect, l'imagination humaine. Ce n'était point un de ces génies ardents, pressés d'éclater, entrainés, par la grandeur de leur pensée ou de leur passion, et qui répandent autour d'eux les richesses de leur nature, avant même qu'au dehors aucune occasion, aucune nécessité en sollicite l'emploi. Etranger à toute agitation intérieure, à toute ambition spontanée et superbe, Washington n'allait point au devant des choses,
