great champloiof liberty,- was very
properly chosen to be the keepcr of.
this key of the 'terrestial bottomless
pit.' It is still preserved at Mount
Vernon, and can be seen in the large
hall secured in a glass case. It is a
black, rude, huge cross-handled key,
and looks as if it might have been
forged by the Cyclo.s. 'The Bastile
was for ages the State prison of
France, in which all the prisoners be
longing to nobility and higher orders
were confiried. The king himself or
his ministers could by meanm of 'let
tera du catchet,' vize any person on
any pretext, and keep him in its dun
geons without trial or inquiry for
years. Somo unfortunatt individuals
were so confiued for nearly half a
century. When once this horrible
key turned upon them, they were lost
alike to their friends and to the vorld.
Many of the noblest spil its in France
have here breathed their last in dark
unhealthy cells without accusation or
crime. The history of the world can
hardly furnish a parallel to the cruel
ty and oppression enacted within the
walls of the Bastile. When the ven
geance of the people laid it low in
1789, many old grey-hcaded prison
ers were set free who had been so
long itmnured that they regretted the
restoration of their liberty. Hopo
and ambition had been extinguished
in their hearts. - Waing ton Union.
