convent for young ladies, embracing much the same line of principles.
It cannot be denied that, as respects general accomplishments and
ladylike deportment, their pupils infinitely surpass those of all other
conventual establishments in the country; but the Jesuit leaven that
pervades the whole course of tuition, deters all parents, not devoted
to the tenets of Loyola, from placing their daughters under their care.

The House at Loretto was admirably conducted; simplicity, cleanliness,
refinement, order, were its striking features. The pupils appeared
to me perfectly happy. Most of them had entered at six or seven
years of age, and cherished an enthusiastic affection for the nuns,
or _Ladies_, as they are generally styled, who by their gentle and
dignified deportment, their patient study of character, and the
devotion of their whole faculties to the task, acquired over them
an unlimited ascendancy. A girl in the Sacré Cœur never learned to
reason;—what “_La Mère Supérieure_” once said, was to her an article
of faith,—infallible, unimpeachable. The opinions thus formed—and they
designedly embraced every relation of society—were seldom or never
shaken off.

In politics, as may be conceived, the Sacré Cœur is unmitigatedly
Austrian. In 1848, while all Italy was applauding the prowess or
lamenting the misfortunes of Charles Albert, the pupils at Loretto
knew of no hero but Radetsky; and celebrated his triumph over Italian
independence by a grand march for the pianoforte, composed expressly
for them by their music-master, _maestro di cappella_ to the Church of
the Santa Casa.

The acquaintance possessed by these ladies with all that is passing
in the outer world, down to the minutest details of inner life, is a
well-known attribute of the order. Imparted to their Jesuit confessors,
this knowledge has often become a powerful political engine. The means
by which it is acquired is through the confidence and affection of
their pupils. I once happened to be staying in the same house with a
