DR. Miner was three doors off, and he
came in few minutes. He expressed
great appreciation of Joung Harrison's
! conduct.
Young Harrison, as uneoncerned as
post, had returned to his inspection OF the
painting he seemed to admire so much.
Mr. Redway went off with TIE doctor

pure impudenee, or some similar feeling,

had been absent from his native country
fogr years without interruption, and or
, his return had decided to go to the acad
