The tailor, the hosier, the bootmaker, the hair
dresser were in turn visited by this poor pagan of
externals. As, by degrees, under their hands, he
emerged from the beggar to the gentleman, his
spirits rose; his eyes brightened he walked erect,

The impatient pride with which he gave his orders
to the astonished tradesmen for the finest and best
OF everything, and the amazed air of the fashiona-
Bile halr-dresser, when he presented his matted
locks and stubble chin to he cut and shaved, may
be acted-it cannot be described.
BY this time the external transformation was
complete, and sat down in cafe in the Hay
market, opposite haggard, but handsome, thor
ough bred looking man, whose air, with the ex-
ception of the wild eyes and deeply Drowned face,
did not differ from the stereotyed men sitting a.

he should never be noticed by them in public or
in private.

again surrounded by the well-bred vampires who
had forgotten him when penness but they amused
him, and that was enough. The ten thousand
pounds were rapidly melting when he invited me
to grand dinner at Richmond, which included a
dozen of the most agreeable, good-looking, we'll
dressed dandies Of London, nterspersed with a
display of pretty butterfly bonnets. We dned de-
ciously, and crank as men do of iced wines in the
og-days-looking down from Richmond Hill.
One Of the bonnets crowned Fitz Roy with a
wreath offowers; he looked-less the intellect-as
handsome Alcibiades. Intensely excited and
flushed, he rose, with champagne glass in his
hand, to propose my health.
