It has that suggestion of moss-grown tran quillity that the clatter of a sabot accentu ates, and in wandering through it any imag inative loiterer might fancy himself in the mouldering avenue of a forgotten town. But to return to the point, or rather to the house. In it lives a gentleman and with him a mem ory and a library. The gentleman himself may be spared any personalities. The mem ory which he cultivates is that of Balzac, while the library contains very nearly every thing that is in any way connected with the history and works of the French realist.
