horsemen and carriage soon formed
a circular line, and at last the stage
coach of the Gar stopped outside
/ the good peasants door The guards
\ Kept back the crowd, which the hope
of seeing their sovereign had coliee-
ted together
The chariot door was opened, the
Gar alighted and, advancing to ms
host, thus addressed him:
Il promised you a godfather,
am come to fulfill my pledge Give
me your child and follow me %

The peasant stood like statue (;
now looking at the Gar with the
mingled emotions OF establishment
and Joy; now observing his magni-
fcent robes and costly jewels with
which they were adorned and no~
turning to the crowd Of mobiles that
surrounded him. In this profusion
Of ponp he could not discover the
poor stranger who had laid all night
With him upon the straw. The Gar
silently enjoyed bis perpIexity for
some moments then addressed him
thus:
Yesterday you performed the
duties of humanity to-day ! am
come to discharge the most faithful
daty Of sovereign-of recompon-
sing virtue. | she'll not remove you
from situation to which you do so
much honor, aud the Innocence and
tranquility Of which ! envy, bat !
will besiow upon you such things as
may be useful to you. You shall
have numerous hocks. rich pictures,
and a house that will enable you to
exercise the duties Of hospitality with
pleasure. Your newborn child shall
be my ward for you remember,
he continued, sm ling, that
prophesied he would be fortunate
The good peasant could not speak ;
bu., with tears of grateful scnsibility
in his eyes, he ran instantly to fetch
the child, brought him to the Gar,
and laid him respectfully at his feet,
This excellent sovereign was quite
affected he took he child in his
arms and carried it to the church !;
and after the ceremony was over,
unwilling to deprive him Of his
mothers care, he took him to the
cottage, and ordered him to be sent
to him as soon as he could be weaned
The Gar faithfully fulfilled his
engagement, caused rbe boy TO be
educated in his palace, provided
amply for his future settlement in
life, and continued ever after to heap
favors upon the virtuous peasant aud
his family.
