scene Of confusion in the stable But
before long bis olfactores were met by
strong smell Of frying pork, slightly
tinctured with SAVIOR Of cheese, aud he
took the hint, or rather the sceii, and
rose,
Adjusting his apparel, and the fallen
ham to its position, he was done his tot
lot, and made his way as best he could
without compass, through the wind

ward the breakfast apartment Houses
like the one julien was stopping at,
have now almost disappeared; and IN
this advanced stage Of architecture one
can only realize the confused awkward
ness and embarrassment they gave the
stranger, by efforts Of the Imagination.
Julien though accustomed to crooks
and turns, whose intricacy old dame

not been for the fortunate guidance of
the frying pork he must have been lost.

we're the ewes that mirror the soul; that
seem the portals Of a temple rich with
gems, which one longs to enter, yet fears
intrusion. His form was elegant and
graceful, and he moved like a straved
gezelle, over the roughness Of his path.
He stood before the little old shadow
Of the school house, and 1t seemed al
most sinful anomaly to see him enter
Julien did not feel himself above an
honorable calling, however humble and
obscure, and he met his pupils already

Juhens composition was of wonder
FIJI magnanimity; well aware Of his ca
pabiIity for positions Of the first honor

was no disqualification for the drudge

child Of necessity; he was IN the place
