After good deal Of trouble, they manag-
ed at last to reach the vast SELDOM, where
several persons were met together. Their
carmen were magnificent; the women were
covered with precious stone; they ev,n had
some on their rich court trains, which were
spread oui at length upon the carpet; tneir
bracelets. their necklaces, their tiaras were
| quite dazzling. The young traveller, whom we
shall henceforth call Almeiic, was charmed
st the sight. ,f..,.. 4sa ys. br
The men in this saloon did not yield one
iota to the women in the matter of dress: they
wore velvet coats embroidered with diamonds
and on their leads fancy cap, ornamented
with four feathers that were worthy to adoru
sqneen's bonnet.
"Who are these great folks?" inquired AL
meric of the mendicant. sFssi
"They are the servants Of the house, he
replied. 1A
1t was even so; FOR directly the great folks
saw the two travellers come in, they approach
ed them to receive their orders, and inquire
whether they wish to visit the palace.

The fear, however, Of being troublesome,
made him say.
Perhaps we shall disturb the occupant Of
the palace by going over it at this hour; per-
haps-"
"Disturb the occupant Of the Palace Of
Vanity" interrupt the mendicant with sneer
"ah, young man, defy you to do that! they
are here Tor no other purpose than to be looked
at; and you are not likely to put them out BY
coming to admire them: it is the same thing as
il you were afraid of disturbing the actors by
going to see and here them during the perform.
