The story of some French refugees and their "Azilum," 1793-1800 . these deep shades to them he doubly dear ;And Powers proud worshippers, wherever saw such grandeur ruined and deeds of virtue to themselves secureThose inborn joys, that, spite of Kings, endure,Though thrones and states from their foundations part;The precious balsam of a blameless heart. The colony at this time must have been practically abandon-ed, for in an old letter written by Madame du Pont de Ne-mours, from Delaware, to my great-grandmother at Angelica,in 1809, describing a journey she had just made from Angelicato the Brandywine, she speaks of passing the ruins of Asylum,the old home of her correspondent. I have often heard my ^father say that after the house intended for the Queen was com-pleted, the refugees, without loss of time, erected a log de la Rochefoucauld Liancourt visited Asylum in 1795,and his description thereof is the most authentic one with whichI am acquainted.
