Excerpt from The Tuileries, Vol. 3 of 3: A Tale With a glare of wild insanity, Madame de St. Florentin gazed on the Wilderness of de solation through which she was hastily borne along,-half smothered by the scorching atmo sphere, and at every second moment intercepted by masses of smouldering ruins, which suddenly threw up a column of ames as some fragment 'of blazing timber fell with a tremendous crash from the roof, through the devastated frame work of the building.
