!" beg your pardon responded d., serious-

quite able to speak but at dead lit my
dear fellow, am at home. And say, with.
out hesitation, such an attempt to lift as that
would kill Moses
Nonsense stuff you don't know anything
about it, Now, Pll chow you we three can
hold you up in the same position, and with all

Thank you,o responded d., dryly q don't
care to be made martyr Off
But Doctor Bob, with merry twinkle in
his eye, proposed to make a lay figure Of the
artist, and, Selling him, the three began to
stagger over the polished floor, pulling our
friend the artist about until they all nearly
fell down, and one Of the guards on duty in
terfered. Our enthusiastic instructor was not
to be discouraged in this way; he pulled D.
from old master to old master, all the time
protesting and lecturing, He raused before
one representing an angel flying from a group
Of astonished people.

L. went off again into his queer dance, and
the violent gesticulation continued, with va

contempt, until they stopped before marine

is a fair representation Of the seq, Christ walk

Outrage could 20 no further; our friend
fairly boiled; the pirouette was twice as violent
and continued until he ran backwards against
little man, on very high stool, busy copying
Venus.
While. the discussion was going on, had OBJ
served this little c0pyist. He was not higher
than my shoulder; he wore hump back, and
looked at the world through spectacles. His face
was wrinkled, partly by age and much by q sour
ed nature, as if disguised with the world and,
rs his little face peered out surrounded as it was
by gray, bushy hair and whiskers, he resem-
blcd an exaggerated weasel, scratching for
eggs. Whatever might he his contempt for
things in general, he had high regard for his
work; for when our frantic cicerone fell against
the stool, the little man might have saved him
self, but he sought to save his picture. The
result was that the picture fell, and the petit
gentleman tumbled sprawling upon it--punch-
ing hole in Venus's head, and altogether ma
king sad work Of the affair. He regained his
feet with face and clothes presenting what

only hear the phrase miserable daub,v when
the capsized ran at him, and we should have

to the memory Of Marshal Ney, upon the
spot where he was executed. Poor man he
little dreamed, when looking at the cold gray
light Of q drizzling morning for the last time
on earth, of the use to which his death would
be put. It, like everything else here, is o
political move and while the Bourbons and
Orleanists are rejoicing over their union, the
Bonapsrtes, at the spot where fell the blood Of
Neg, thunder their defiance.
