ration line This situation Of affairs was rather
inexplicabc, and Mr.. b. in his surprise receded
a step in order to gain better standpoint for
a survey Of matters and things and give great
er freedom 10 thought in comprising the nature
Of his difficulty. The collision was an uncere-
monious one, and the feelings which it provok-
ed were of somewhat mixed character He
felt his valor rise, and bis sense of manliness
and selEconsideraion were a little touchcd.-
Soliloquizing was natural, and it required an
audible tone TO give it due emphasis and ex-
things maurely, and the conclusion he came to-,
was duly endorsed 10y bis judgment and com
mon sense. The gravity Of the occasion, and
the parley which accompanied it, might have
been considered, in the prevalent irreverance OF
of this world. somewhat ludicrous. The con
cusion that Mr.. Beeswax arrived at, was, that
