The scene without was uprcsious enough but WITHIN
the wstinp.roOm all was quiet dmly lighted and
MYSTERIOUS. The departing sat together in groups

Whispering, yawpirg and wondering how soon, they
waited for the boat. At length, like Crysta Palace
All illuminate and nearer like tostipg funeral pyre,
the Metropolis comes along and the metamorphosed
are swallowed up in her hugeness. wash OF water,
and they are gone. Kinsley is paid and dismissed;
the discarded coaches rumble djectedy beck to their
stables. One goes home and morslises.

that the season as made edfypg close to ITS ga

Having habits of literary Incidence. they Go no maner
of work themselves, but, lying on rural couch, or
subtepmina.ed in the orchard they give directions for

He goes to see the miler-not being proud. he car

The miller resides in a small conical building like
to an a1ciert cCflee.pot without nose, the handle
also being wanting. His fan thoroughly purges the
air around-its whirling arms, being four, would ac
