versation was as odious as his manners
were disagreeable. A progressed lree-think-
Ter in matters ofrelia:on- by turns bully
and sycophant, but always ready to back
his opinions and his insoience with his
sword-he was teal ed aud hated BY most
oil The Burschen, To whom, however. he
contrlved, upon many OCCASIONS, to make
himself useful. His; example was infinitely
pernicous among young men, already TOO
apt TO be Seduced into wrong: and he was
so well known TO bt roruptor, that every
newcomer to the university was cautioned
by the rectors not t. associate with linn.
Leopold neither iearea the captain nor
anyloiher person; but h. hated him cordi-
! ally, and TO this lee ling added an utter
Scorn OF him. In the frs hour of their ac-
quaintance they bad qnarreled, and had
fought in consequent &c. Leopoled was woun-
ded in the duel by an unfair blow, as he
thought. The secl onds, however, decided
that the blow, if mat quite fair, was purely
accidental, and una voidable; and the cap
tain made very handsome acknowledge
ment OF his antagonists courage, and Of his
| own error in the cal use ofquarrel. Leopold
had shaken hands WITH him on the ground,
and he made il p oint Of honour not to re-
new the disagreeme at. He, however, hated
the captain not a jot the less than before /;
and, although he di not care for his society,
he resolved never to shun ii, and always
treated him with familiarity and careless
ness which had a good effect in subduing
Schwartzwald's do mineering temper. Leo
poId was the onil man in the university
with whom he dar ed not To trhe.
The soldier and the student now sat smo-
king their large pipes, and putting the
dense clouds into each others faces with a
very laudable dilis renee the bottle was sta
tionary, and one fthose deep pauses pre-
vailed which SOM etimes ensure after very
noisy revels. At length Leopold broke the
silence.
Captain he sal d, you and are the only
honest men in c tottingen. You see the
