DIG neau, WHICH, on TOP, Is as destitute OF mar as
a baby's cheek. A two-inch fringe Of fine gray
locks surrounds this oasis of badness, fading
away into the full white beard which covers the

daughter of the historian Motley, but L fear Mr..
Tyndall is incurable. The tendency of his coun-
| trymen to gush and prose is irresistible"
