Toasting q Traveller.

When an English diplomatist of note
was travelling in Servia some years ago.
he was entertained at small town by
number Of the local magnates. The
people Of Servia are not much given
to travelling, and their ideas of Eng
land and its great men are gained
chiefly from books. After dinner a
strong. broadfaced monk called for a
bumper, and began in a solemn mat
ter-of-fact way, the following speech:
you are great traveller in our eyes;
for none Of US ever went further than
our country's limits. The greatest
traveller Of your country that we know
of was that wondered navigator of
York, Robinson Crusoe, who, poor
man. met with many and great diff
culties, but by the blessing of God was
at length restored to his native coun-
try, his family and his friends. We
trust that the Almighty will watch
over you, and that you may never, in
the course Of your voyages and travels,
be thrown, as was your ilmstrious
on a desert island"
