quite clever. His pots and pans had been
gathered into pile, the stove set apart in
melancholy isolation, few pieces OF
broken crOckery scarce dared lay claim to
identity, and he sat among them in ebonized
rigidity, while upon his front engraven de-
liberation sat, as if he were pondering the
event. while his vacuous eyes denoted that
