tleman, . near connection and great
friend. One evening 1t happened that
the fsmil Aad al, gOne opt 70 asOhrist-

ho1O a1bn9 Islue once determined to
retire to the snug little study-a very
favorite resort Of mine, for it was wen
filled with books. Like most old
fashioned oountry-houses. the sitting

gravel walk, which ran all along that

during the afternoon had covered every
Aeld, road and path with its beautiful
mantle of spotless white; and q sharp
breeze was springing up which seemed
likely to increase to q gale. had
been reading barely half an hour, when
