A holy, heavenly, living flame
Pervades and purifies the heart.
To loving, glowing hearts in joy,
Shall not our hearths and homes abound?
May not glad praise our lips employ,
And, though on earth, half heaven be found?

Herbé's "Costumes Français" (Vol. vii., p. 182.).—In answer to the Query by Pictor, Mr. Philip Darell begs to state, that in the library at Calehill there is a copy of M. Herbé's book. It is the last edition (Paris, 1840), and purports to be "augmentée d'un examen critique et des preuves positives," &c. It begins by owning to certain errors in the former edition; in consequence of which M. Herbé had travelled through all France to obtain the means of correcting them in various localities.
