venerable and respetiable appearance, I one day
called him into my lodgings, and gave him some
refreshment—inquiring how he came to be in such

and a citizen of Zell—before the accursed French
took possession of my Country, I was as happy as
man could be. I wati'a master carpenter—had a
good wife, two sons, and a daughter, all good and

clown 'stairs, threatening me with a dungeon if I
made any further complaint. On my return home
the soldiers haying heard of the complaint I had
