whilst p1omenading ore day where Eneas
is said to have walked, he was met by q re-
pulsive looking object, VINO stopped and de-
manded worship from him. 81 cannot wor-
ship you," said Curyier. But you must,''
said The horrible. "No, ! will not" replied
the other "Then,n said the demon, g il
you will not, will eat you" Cuyier eyed
him deliberately; and instead of defying
him, as no doubt he might have done, pre-
ferred falling back upon the natural history
lessons of his earthly life, and said, "Horns
and cloven feet-graminiporoas. You eat
me!--nensense!'
