into the garden, which he paced tor some
time, with hurried steps, as If seeking to
escape from some demon which tormenied
him. At this moment, the Angel Of Pa.

cnt from his own. They were wanderers
WHO sought livelihood by selling little arti.

day evening, and they tlnidly approached
small farmhouse, in order to ask shelter for
| the night, and during the ensuing day.
| The farmer beheld them with suspicion, but
said they might, It they chose, take up their
abode in an outhouse TO which he pointed.
| The two foreigners thanked him hunb.y, and
! went TO the shed which he had pointed out.
| They found 1t to have only part OF a roof,
| and TO contain 10 furniture OF any kind, but
| they were forced 10 be content with IL. The

Ply proceeded 10 the neighborng field, aud

rushes, as served Ia make up n bed IN the

i roof. They then partook of some wrctcbed
! fragments Of bread and meat, which they
carried with them, aud lay down to rest, but
rot ill they had, according to the forms of
their counlry's religion, rendered thanks and
praise 10 the Glyer OF all good, for such share
Of his bounty as they enjoyed.
