many years since, two students wert
tnlkl"s together in street at Warsaw
when au odd figure attracted their at
tenGlou--h mean, wretched looking old
man, who stopped a. a stall to purchase
haiipenny roll, and then proceeded
along.
You wGuld noG thing" said one of
the young men," that that shabby fell
low was distinguished sta seslnan, and
one OF the most learned men to b found
in Europe"
"You surely do not mean the rich and
powerful Staszlg?"
The same. l. seems impossible, how
ever, 10 feel any respect for misbr
who, though rolling in wealth, yet will
not att I'D himselfa carriage, but crawls
along the street like beggar, eating a
