changes was he to witness ere the cycle of his for-
tunes was finally completed ! We tay nothing or his
subsequent wanderings, and tinexpected re-union with
his brothers, in America—of his providential escape
from a French cruiser on his return to Europe—of
his residence in Switzerland, where he picked up a
scanty subsistence as a teacher of mathematics—or
of his strange adventures in Italy, where he was at
one time the companion of Royalty, and at another;
of the lowliest peasant ; —we pass by these incidents
in his chequered career, replete though they
are with the wildest romance; but had any.
one told him, at that disastrous period of
his life when he was sitting by the humble hearth
of his Norwegian friend, M. BURK, that he would
one day, not only regain all his lost wealth and titles,
but ascend the throne of France through the instru-
mentality of that very class of society which had been
so ready to banish and persecute him, assuredly the
"traveller MULLER" would have regarded such a man
as a lunatic, and treated his predictions with infinite
contempt ; for everything at that period tended to
show the utter absurdity of such a vaticination ;
and for years afterwards it seemed daily more
unlikely that it could ever be realised.
First, there was the French Republic op-
posed as a barrier to its fulfilment; and when this
was removed, then came the Empire, with NAPO-
LEON'S dazzling series of triumphs, which placed all
Europe at his mercy; when this, too—rather by the
interposition of the elements than by the force o

man—was swept away, then there was the Restora-
tion of the elder branch of the BOURBONS, which
left "the traveller MuLLER's" chance more remote
than ever. Events, however, soon conspired to favour
him. That which had so long appeared impossible,
began gradually to assume an aspect of proba•
bility ; and at length, by the incredible fatuity
of his Royal kinsman, he was raised to the
French throne with the unanimous approbation of
those very classes of society—the middle and lower
orders—whose fathers, forty-nine yearsibefore, had been
foremost to consent to his banishment! To complete
this extraordinary "romance of real life," Louis
PlULuPE—long after the majority of his manhood's
friends have passed into the grave—finds his old Nor-
