A EARLY 11004 or raises.
There are vit.i•..us traditions as til the ori.
gig of the Golden Ley upon the shield of
Fiance. Among thew: is the following inci-
dent, said to here uccwved in the latter part
of the eleventh century, duriug the reign of
Philip Augusta.
The prince was only fifteen ,when he o*
cended the throne, but the s4oug bund with
which he seised the reins of govenimeut.
awing the turbulent nobles and protecting the
common people against Weir aggressions,
mode convinced them that he wail not to he
desptled fur his youth. Though by this
course he greatly endeared himselfto the
tole* of his subjects, his life wu more than
owe tlre*u'ned, and even attempted; but
these plots invariably heiginated among the
h.tughty nobles, who were restive under the
.wtraeut imposed upon) them by the kiug's
strung arm and just and 0 sadly heart.
In the summer of the seventh year of his
reign, weary tat the cares of state, l'hriep re.
tired with his court to les royal resrleuce at
Chaumont, which wu a laverite resort to
Mtn.
Among Ile train was Geoffrey, Count de
Neville, the natural son of Louis VII, the
kink's' half brother. Ile wu a mild and iA
offensive man, apparently well contented with
the title and estate conferred by theist* king
upon his mother and which he had inherited
upon her death, hitt unfortunately he married
a haughty, ambitious woman, who was III
inclined to forego her claims to•royalty.
At the death of Louis she openly asserted
that there had been a secret marriage between
Lint and the lute Countess de Needles, and
that upon the heed tat Leeson elloold rem the
crown of France, he being the elder born,
urged her husband to assert his claims. tut
this the Couut refuatd to do.; being ill -fitted
by nature to act a port requiring more than
usual energy and ability, besides containing
too strong an affection for the young king
who hal trnycd him with unusual kilolitres,
to seek UT 'deprive him of his rightful inheri-
tance.,
if Philip heard of the pretensions which
the Counter set forth, he manifested nu pat.
ward token of displruure or distrust; to, the
contrary, he'gave his brother many evidences
of regard, apsioinliug him to honorary oflicea
near his person, although he took care that
hey were such u conferred but very little
w•er. .
hu w • neer source cf grievance to
the
hes hty Countess, who rehinqui46nd the idea
of coining is queen, had fondly imagined
that n foment of Philip's youth. his brother
would train such a strong a*centaucy over
his mi , al would make him king its realty,
If net in'name.
This dihappointment was felt with increas-
ed bitten..T ,hen oho became the mother of
a son, in.whom she centred all her ambitious
hopes, and alp t)tt love she was capable of
peeling for any otos.
unlike our modern fine ladies, the dames
of high aegree of that remote perilrl were
early risers, and the Countess de Neville@
often took long rides on horseback before
the dew was off the gram, unattended, except
by her groom, who kept hl a respectful dos•
tance, just near enough to be within call

" The kefulness of geese! Why the op•
ition ill think he means them, and (what

—A coup were cdaaured fur going to

Hever saw it in that light baton. i will take

$God for the health.
