Two Lads.
At one time. when De Quincy was
living at Lasswade in simple and
relations with the people, who
respected him not as a writer, but as
good %neighbor, he formed a very de-
lightful friendship with a little child,
4 boy of four years. This lad, a
of one of the housemaids, was
the constant companion Of the great
nan and would forsake any amusement
for the pleasure of walking round a
lull little garden with him. One day
somebody heard this conversation be-
tween the two comrades:
What dye call thon trce?" asked
child.
De Quincy considered and then said.
careful deli5eratioa. Il ain not
,ure, my dear, but l think it may be a
aurustinus.'
The child interrupted him with some
"a laurustinus! Lad. dye no
Ken a rhododendroT?"
AT that time the lad must havf
,een about seventy years old.
