me at an hour too late to allow Of my accept
ance of the courtesy If it were otherwise in my

and angry whenever he loses a game of chess.
As soon as he sees that he is likely to lose it.,
he begins to twirl his moustache, his face be-
comes flushed, and he com nences speaking to
himself in low tone, which is always sure
Sign that he is prey to unusual agitation.

summers, to whom the cares and responsible
ties of this life seem no mora than the sunshine
that dances on the water. Beneath the meek
garb and unostentatious manner Of the stran-
ger, he will hardly recognize the soldier OF the
Pcninsular, or the man upon whose shoulders
great political party would have cast the
mantle of the Republics Chief Magistrate"
