+[Illustration: CHESTER TERRACE, REGENT'S PARK.]
+
+
+
+
+CHESTER TERRACE,
+
+REGENT'S PARK.
+
+On the annexed page is a spirited representation of this splendid range
+of palatial residences, which present as noble an appearance as any
+similar structure in the Park.
+
+To familiarize the topography of Chester Terrace, we should say it
+stands between the Colosseum and St. Katharine's Church, these being the
+most conspicuous buildings in the circle; and the majestic cupola of the
+former building is shown in the distance of our engraving.
+
+This terrace is named from the royal earldom of Chester. It is from
+the designs of Mr. Nash, the architect of York Terrace engraved in our
+No. 358. Like the majority of that gentleman's works, Chester Terrace
+evinces great genius, with many of its irregularities. It is of the
+Corinthian order of architecture, characterized by its richness; but the
+present specimen is weak in its details, and the form and proportions of
+its balustrade are starved and lanky. The capitals of the columns want
+the gracefulness of the Corinthian, and the volutes are but puny
+illustrations of that beautiful order.
+
+Leaving these defects to be further scrutinized by the more critical
+spectator, we cannot fail to be impressed with this grand and commanding
+terrace; the composition exhibits great genius and powerful conception;
+and the effect of the whole would be extremely beautiful, were it not
+for the defective details.
+
+At each end of the terrace is a Corinthian arch, the idea of which
+is altogether novel. These arches connect with pavilion temple-like
+mansions, and their effect is very rich and picturesque. They remind
+one of some of the trophied glories of old Rome--the arches beneath
+which her laurelled heroes passed in triumphal state. Chester Terrace
+may, therefore, be said to associate _otium cum dignitate_, since these
+arches give a splendid finish to the range of handsome residences. The
+mementos of Roman triumph still remain; but a century hence, where will
+be the lath-and-plaster glories of the Regent's Park?

+HAVER.
+
+(_For the Mirror_.)
+
+
+"Haver" is a common word in the northern counties for oats; as "haver
+bread," for oaten bread; perhaps properly "aven," from "_avena_," Latin
+for oats.
+
+_Query_.--Is not "haversack," or, Gallice, "_havre-sac_," a bag to
+carry a soldier's bread and provisions, derived from the same word?

+
+ANCIENT POWER OF THE _HARO_, OR _HAROL_.
+
+(_For the Mirror_.)
+
+
+_Clamour de haro_ is a cry or formula of invoking the assistance of
+justice against the violence of some offender, who, upon hearing of
+the word _haro_, is obliged to desist, on pain of being severely
+punished for his outrage, and to go with the party before the judge. The
+word is commonly derived of _ha_ and _roul_, as being supposed
+an invocation of the sovereign power, to assist the weak against the
+strong, on occasion of Raoul, first duke of Normandy, about the year
+912, who rendered himself venerable to his subjects, by the severity
+of his justice; so that they called on him, even after his death, when
+they suffered any oppression. Some derive it from _Harola_, king of
+Denmark, who, in the year 826, was made grand conservator of justice at
+Mentz. Others from the Danish _a a rau_, help me, a cry raised by
+the Normans in flying from a king of Denmark, named Roux, who made
+himself duke of Normandy. The _haro_ had anciently such vast power,
+that a poor man of the city of Caen, named Asselin, in virtue thereof,
+arrested the corpse of William the Conqueror, in the middle of the
+funeral procession, till such time as his son Henry had paid the value
+of the land in question, which was that whereon the chapel was built
+wherein he was interred.

+
+THE GREAT TUN OF KONIGSTEIN.
+
+(_For the Mirror_.)
+
+
+One of the greatest curiosities in the neighbourhood of Dresden is the
+Great Tun, erected at Fort Konigstein by General Kyaw, the height of
+which is 17 Dresden ells, and its diameter at the bung 12 ells. This
+vast vessel, which is always replenished with excellent wine, is capable
+of containing 3,709 hogsheads; and on its head is a plate with a Latin
+inscription, to the following purport:--
+
+"Welcome, traveller, and admire this monument, dedicated to festivity,
+in order to exhilarate the mind with a glass, in the year 1725, by
+Frederick Augustus, king of Poland and elector of Saxony, the father of
+his country, the Titus of the age, the delight of mankind. Therefore,
+drink to the health of the sovereign, the country, the electoral family,
+and Baron Kyaw, governor of Konigstein; and if thou art able, according
+to the dignity of this cask, the most capacious of all casks, drink to
+the prosperity of the whole universe--and so farewell."

+THE COOK AND THE CRANES.
+
+FROM THE SPANISH.
+
+(_For the Mirror_.)
+
+
+    Don John de Ayala,--a chap
+    Whose worst mishap
+  Was to be curs'd with a purloining cook.
+    (A fellow, who 'twas plain
+    Play'd "cut and come again,"
+  And scarcely reck'd, if all was seen he took.)
+  Don John de Ayala, went forth to look
+    For birds, and shot a crane;
+  Which, forthwith giving the aforesaid knave
+    To cook, according to the Spanish taste;
+  _He_, to his dainty-loving _sposa_ gave
+    A leg at once, well deeming, that to waste
+  So fair an opportunity for sin
+    Would be (as _he_ should say a _burning_ shame;)
+  But, when the bird, at dinner-time went in,
+    Cried Juan, "Where's the left leg of my game?"
+  "Soul of my body, sir!" roar'd cook,--no fire
+    In his own kitchen, showing phiz more red,
+  Yet whether thus, from guilt he blazed, or ire,
+    Or _shame_ perdie, hath ne'er been sung or said,
+  "Soul of my body!--other leg?--Well done!--
+  No crane that e'er _I_ saw, had more than _one_."
+
+  Juan, thus silenc'd, but not satisfied,
+    In his own mind revolv'd
+    The neatest way
+  Of telling master Brazenface, he lied;
+    And so resolv'd
+    To take him out crane-shooting the next day.
+  They went:--"Well, cook," quoth Ayala, "for fun
+    I've brought thee here,
+    Where quickly 'twill appear
+  That if cranes have not _two_ legs,--why, they've _none_."
+    "Say you so, Senor?--look!--yon long-neck'd flock,
+  Each bird of it on _one_ foot, ends the matter;
+    Ay--there they stand,--as firm as any rock,
+  I swear by ev'ry dish I ever broke, or platter."
+    Straight to the flock, flight, covey, (we've no name
+    In Albion, to designate _such_ game.)
+  Rush'd Ayala, whose hearty psho! psho! psho!
+  Took the cranes off _one_ leg,--discovering _two_,
+  As up they rose, on rustling, sullen wing:
+  "Well cook?" "Why, body of my soul, sir, there's the thing,
+  Had you said _psho! psho!_ to your _roasted_ crane,
+  Belike you'd seen its hidden leg again!"

+
+SPOONS.
+
+(_For the Mirror_.)
+
+
+Spoons are objects of great antiquity, and our forefathers bestowed
+great pains in enriching them with masterly workmanship. So much
+did _taste_ and fashion rule the time then, that spoons were
+distinguished as it were by so many devices. It was, and is still with
+some persons, a custom to present spoons at christenings, or on visiting
+"the lady in the straw;" and in both cases they were adorned with
+suitable imagery. A gentleman with whom I am acquainted, and who "keeps
+a cabinet of curiosities," lately showed me two very curious silver
+spoons, which he informed me had remained in his family many years; but
+how they became possessed of them, he could only say that he attributed
+it to the custom of presenting spoons on certain occasions. One was
+beautifully wrought; the bowl was very large, and its edges carved with
+exquisite workmanship. In the middle of the bowl was a representation
+of "the nativity," carved in so masterly a manner, that, although it
+was considerably defaced, it must have required the ablest artists to
+accomplish. The handle, which was likewise superbly carved, ended in a
+figure of the Virgin Mary, with our Saviour in her lap. The other spoon
+was so much injured, that we could trace out nothing decisive; although
+here and there we could perceive it had been richly ornamented.
+
+The same gentleman also showed me a set of Apostle-spoons, which,
+although objects of curiosity, had, in conformity with the prevailing
+fashion, undergone the alteration of the silversmith. There were twelve
+of them, each of which represented an Apostle, boldly carved on the
+handle; a large round hat is placed on each of their heads, which was
+probably to save the features from being injured. They are standing on
+the stem of the spoon, which is carved somewhat like a Doric pillar. The
+bowls are very large and deep, and are rather awkwardly turned in at the
+sides. A complete set, in good condition, is very rare and valuable; and
+it is to be regretted that so many of these relics have fallen into the
+silversmith's furnace, merely for the sake of their silver.
+
+Apostle-spoons were presented by sponsors or visiters at christenings
+and at marriages; and those who could not afford a complete set, gave
+one or two, as their circumstances might permit. Some presented a spoon
+with the figure of the saint after whom the child was baptized, or to
+whom it was dedicated. In his "Bartholomew Fair," Ben Jonson has a
+character to say, "And all this for a couple of apostle-spoons and a
+cup to eat caudle in." Likewise in the "Noble Gentleman," by Beaumont
+and Fletcher,
+
+  "I'll be a gossip, Bewford--
+  I have an odd apostle-spoon."
+
+
+In "The Gossips," a poem, by Shipman, in 1666, there is the following
+mention of the custom of presenting apostle-spoons at christenings,
+which it appears was then on the decline:--
+
+  "_Formerly_, when they used to troul
+  Gilt bowls of sack, they gave the bowl
+  Two _spoons_ at least--an _use ill kept_;
+  'Tis well if now our own be left."
+
+
+On St. Paul's, or any other apostle's day, it was usual for persons
+of quality to send round a present of a spoon with the figure of
+such apostle to their friends. In some Catholic families these and
+the before-mentioned customs are still retained, though I question
+whether the spoons are enriched with such superb workmanship.

+HORSHAM, SUSSEX.
+
+The town of Horsham is pleasantly situated on the liver Arun, in the
+county of Sussex, about 36 miles S. by W. of London. It is a borough,
+and contains the county gaol. The spring assizes are likewise held here.
+Horsham is of considerable antiquity. It was founded by Horsa, the
+Saxon, about the year A.D. 450, to employ his soldiers while he was
+enslaved by the captivating chains of a lovely country girl, the
+daughter of a woodman in the forest. The town was named after himself,
+Horsa, and the Saxon word Ham, signifying a home. Horsa was killed in
+Kent, in a battle fought between the Britons and the Saxons, and was
+buried at Horsted, named also after him, Horsa, and Sted, signifying a
+place. The foundation of the church is uncertain; but it can be traced
+as far back as the reign of Henry I. A.D. 1100. The oldest tombstone in
+the church is to the memory of Robert Hurst, of Hurst Hill, in this
+county, who died 1483.[1] The church is at the southern extremity of the
+town, at the foot of Denne, or Dane Hill, on the summit of which is an
+artificial mound, raised by the Danes after the death of Guthrum, their
+chief, to defend themselves from Alfred the Great. The top of this mound
+commands an extensive view, a most prominent feature of which is a part
+of the forest of St. Leonard, called Mike Mills' Race, a beautiful
+avenue, a mile and a quarter long, containing about 15,000 full-grown
+trees. There is a legend connected with this "race," viz. that this
+part of Horsham Forest was the haunt of Mike Mills, a noted smuggler,
+whom his Satanic Majesty had often endeavoured to carry off in vain.
+He therefore determined on attacking him in his strong hold; and
+accordingly met Mike one night accompanied by other more congenial
+spirits, when old Nick challenged Mike as his property. Mike, nothing
+daunted, set down his tubs, took advantage of Nick's old age, and
+challenged him to a race. "If you can catch me, Nick, before I get to
+the end of the avenue, you shall have me; if not, you'll have nothing
+more to do with me."--"Agreed," says Nick. Away ran Mike--away ran Nick.
+Nick being of too hot a temperament was soon knocked up, and Mike won
+the race by half a mile; from which circumstance the place was named,
+and Mike Mills rendered immortal.

+        which is the prevailing mode of the village churches in Sussex.
+        It has also one of the finest windows in Sussex.

+DEATH OF CAPTAIN CLAPPERTON AT SOCCATOO.
+
+Agreeably to our promise at the close of the _Memoir of Captain
+Clapperton_, prefixed to Vol. XI. of THE MIRROR, we subjoin the
+following very interesting narrative of the death of this enterprizing
+traveller, as narrated by Richard Lander, his servant. It forms,
+perhaps, the most attractive portion of the _Journal of the Second
+Expedition_, just published; and to the readers of the foregoing
+memoir, will afford still further illustration of all that we have
+there said of the high character of Clapperton, and his faithful
+attendant, Lander.
+
+On the 12th of March 1827, I was greatly alarmed on finding my dear
+master attacked with dysentery. He had been complaining a day or two
+previously of a burning heat in his stomach, unaccompanied, however,
+by any other kind of pain. From the moment he was taken ill he perspired
+freely, and big drops of sweat were continually rolling over every part
+of his body, which weakened him exceedingly. It being the fast of
+Rhamadan, I could get no one, not even our own servants, to render
+me the least assistance. I washed the clothes, which was an arduous
+employment, and obliged to be done eight or nine times each day, lit
+and kept in the fire, and prepared the victuals myself; and in the
+intermediate time was occupied in fanning my poor master, which was also
+a tedious employment. Finding myself unable to pay proper attention to
+his wants in these various avocations, I sent to Mallam Mudey, on the
+13th, entreating him to send me a female slave to perform the operation
+of fanning. On her arrival I gave her a few beads, and she immediately
+began her work with spirit; but she soon relaxed in her exertions, and
+becoming tired, ran away, on pretence of going out for a minute, and
+never returned. Alla Sellakee, a young man my master had purchased
+on the road from Kano to take care of the camels, and whom he had
+invariably treated with his usual kindness, and given him his freedom,
+no sooner was made acquainted with his master's illness than he became
+careless and idle, and instead of leading the camels to the rich
+pasturage in the vicinity of Soccatoo, let them stray whereever they
+pleased, whilst he himself either loitered about the city, or mixed with
+the most degraded people in it: by this means the camels became quite
+lean; and being informed of the reason, I told my master, who instantly
+discharged him from his service.
+
+My master grew weaker daily, and the weather was insufferably hot, the
+thermometer being, in the coolest place, 107 at twelve in the morning,
+and 109 at three in the afternoon. At his own suggestion I made a couch
+for him outside the hut, in the shade, and placed a mat for myself by
+its side. For five successive days I took him in my arms from his bed in
+the hut to the couch outside, and back again at sunset, after which time
+he was too much debilitated to be lifted from the bed on which he lay.
+He attempted to write once, and but once, during his illness; but before
+paper and ink could be brought him, he had sunk back on his pillow,
+completely exhausted by his ineffectual attempt to sit up in his bed.
+Fancying by various symptoms he had been poisoned, I asked him one day
+whether he thought that, in any of his visits the Arabs or Tuaricks, any
+poisonous ingredients had been put into the camel's milk they had given
+him, of which he was particularly fond. He replied, "No, my dear boy; no
+such thing has been done, I assure you. Do you remember," he continued,
+"that when on a shooting excursion at Magaria, in the early part of
+February, after walking the whole of the day, exposed to the scorching
+rays of the sun, I was fatigued, and lay down under the branches of a
+tree for some time? The earth was soft and wet, and from that hour to
+the present I have not been free from cold: this has brought on my
+present disorder, from which, I believe, I shall never recover."
+
+For twenty days my poor master remained in a low and distressed state.
+He told me he felt no pain; but this was spoken only to comfort me, for
+he saw I was dispirited. His sufferings must have been acute. During
+this time he was gradually, but perceptibly, declining; his body,
+from being robust and vigorous, became weak and emaciated, and indeed
+was little better than a skeleton. I was the only person, with one
+exception, he saw in his sickness. Abderachman, an Arab from Fezzan,
+came to him one day, and wished to pray with him, after the manner of
+his countrymen, but was desired to leave the apartment instantly. His
+sleep was uniformly short and disturbed, and troubled with frightful
+dreams. In them he frequently reproached the Arabs aloud with much
+bitterness; but being an utter stranger to the language, I did not
+understand the tenor of his remarks. I read to him daily some portions
+of the New Testament, and the 95th Psalm, which he was never weary of
+listening to, and on Sundays added the church service, to which he
+invariably paid the profoundest attention. The constant agitation of
+mind and exertions of body I had myself undergone for so long a time,
+never having in a single instance slept out of my clothes, weakened me
+exceedingly, and a fever came on not long before my master's death,
+which hung upon me for fifteen days, and ultimately brought me to the
+very verge of the grave. Finding myself unequal to pay that attention
+to my master's wants which his situation so particularly required,
+I solicited and obtained his consent to have old Pascoe once more to
+assist me. On entering the hut, he fell on his knees, and prayed to
+be forgiven, promising to be faithful to my master's service. Master
+immediately pardoned him, and said he would forget all that had passed,
+if he conducted himself well: by this means the washing and all the
+drudgery was taken from my shoulders, and I was enabled to devote all
+my time and attention to my master's person. I fanned him for hours
+together, and this seemed to cool the burning heat of his body, of which
+he repeatedly complained. Almost the whole of his conversation turned
+upon his country and friends, but I never heard him regret his leaving
+them; indeed he was patient and resigned to the last, and a murmur of
+disappointment never escaped his lips.
+
+On the 1st of April, he became considerably worse, and though
+evidently in want of repose, his sleep became more and more disturbed.
+He swallowed eight drops of laudanum, four times a day, for three days;
+but finding it did him not the least benefit, he discontinued taking it
+altogether: this, with the exception of two papers of Seidlitz powders
+and four ounces of Epsom salts, was the only medicine he had during
+his illness. On the 9th, Maddic, a native of Bornou, whom master had
+retained in his service, brought him about twelve ounces of green
+bark from the butter tree, and said it would do him much good.
+Notwithstanding all my remonstrances, master immediately ordered a
+decoction of it to be prepared, observing, "No man will injure me."
+Accordingly Maddie himself boiled two basins-full, the whole of which
+he drank in less than an hour. Next morning he was much altered for the
+worse, and regretted his not having followed my advice. About twelve
+o'clock of the same day, he said, "Richard, I shall shortly be no more;
+I feel myself dying." Almost choked with grief, I replied, "God forbid,
+my dear master: you will live many years yet." "Don't be so much
+affected, my dear boy, I entreat you," said he: "it is the will of the
+Almighty; it cannot be helped. Take care of my journal and papers after
+my death; and when you arrive in London, go immediately to my agents,
+send for my uncle, who will accompany you to the colonial office, and
+let him see you deposit them safely into the hands of the secretary.
+After I am buried, apply to Bello, and borrow money to purchase camels
+and provisions for your journey over the desert, and go in the train of
+the Arab merchants to Fezzan. On your arrival there, should your money
+be exhausted, send a messenger to Mr. Warrington, our consul at Tripoli,
+and wait till he returns with a remittance. On reaching Tripoli, that
+gentleman will advance what money you may require, and send you to
+England the first opportunity. Do not lumber yourself with my books;
+leave them behind, as well as the barometer, boxes, and sticks, and
+indeed every heavy article you can conveniently part with; give them to
+Malam Mudey, who will take care of them. The wages I agreed to give you
+my agents will pay, as well as the sum government allowed me for a
+servant; you will of course receive it, as Columbus has never served me.
+Remark what towns or villages you pass through; pay attention to
+whatever the chiefs may say to you, and put it on paper. The little
+money I have, and all my clothes, I leave you: sell the latter, and put
+what you may receive for them into your pocket; and if, on your journey,
+you should be obliged to expend it, government will repay you on your
+return." I said, as well as my agitation would permit me, "If it be the
+will of God to take you, you may rely on my faithfully performing, as
+far as I am able, all that you have desired; but I trust the Almighty
+will spare you, and you will yet live to see your country." "I thought
+I should at one time, Richard," continued he; "but all is now over;
+I shall not be long for this world; but God's will be done." He then
+took my hand betwixt his, and looking me full in the face, while a tear
+stood glistening in his eye, said, in a low but deeply affecting tone,
+"My dear Richard, if you had not been with me, I should have died long
+ago; I can only thank you, with my latest breath, for your kindness and
+attachment to me, and if I could have lived to return with you, you
+should have been placed beyond the reach of want; but God will reward
+you." This conversation occupied nearly two hours, in the course of
+which my master fainted several times, and was distressed beyond
+measure. The same evening he fell into a slumber, from which he awoke
+in much perturbation, and said he had heard with much distinctness the
+tolling of an English funeral bell: I entreated him to be composed, and
+observed that sick people frequently fancy they hear and see things
+which can possibly have no existence. He made no reply.
+
+About six o'clock in the morning of the 11th, on asking how he did, my
+master answered he was much better, and requested me to shave him. He
+had not sufficient strength to lift his head from the pillow; and after
+finishing one side of the face, I was obliged to turn his head, in order
+to shave the other. As soon as it was done, he desired me to fetch him a
+looking-glass which hung on the other side of the hut. On seeing himself
+in it, he observed that he looked quite as ill at Bornou, on his former
+journey: and as he had borne his disorder so long a time, he might yet
+recover. On the following day he still fancied himself getting better.
+I began to flatter myself, also, that he was considerably improved. He
+eat a bit of hashed guinea-fowl in the day, which he had not done before
+since his illness, deriving his sole sustenance from a little fowl-soup
+and milk and water. On the morning of the 13th, however, being awake,
+I was much alarmed by a peculiar rattling noise, proceeding from my
+master's throat, and his breathing was loud and difficult; at the same
+instant he called out, "Richard!" in a low and hurried tone. I was
+immediately at his side, and was astonished at seeing him sitting
+upright in his bed, and staring wildly around. I held him in my arms,
+and placing his head gently on my left shoulder, gazed a moment on his
+pale and altered features; some indistinct expressions quivered on his
+lips; he strove, but ineffectually, to give them utterance, and expired
+without a struggle or a sigh. When I found my poor master so very ill,
+I called out with all my strength, "O God, my master is dying!" which
+brought Pascoe and Mudey into the apartment. Shortly after the breath
+had left his body, I desired Pasco to fetch some water, with which I
+washed the corpse. I then got Pascoe and Mudey to assist me in taking it
+outside of the hut, laid it on a clean mat, and wrapped it in a sheet
+and blanket. Leaving it in this state two hours, I put a large clean mat
+over the whole, and sent a messenger to Sultan Bello, to acquaint him of
+the mournful event, and ask his permission to bury the body after the
+manner of my own country, and also to know in what particular place
+his remains were to be interred. The messenger soon returned with the
+sultan's consent to the former part of my request; and about twelve
+o'clock at noon of the same day a person came into my hut, accompanied
+by four slaves, sent by Bello to dig the grave. I was desired to follow
+them with the corpse. Accordingly, I saddled my camel, and putting
+the body on its back, and throwing a union-jack over it, I bade them
+proceed. Travelling at a slow pace, we halted at Jungavie, a small
+village, built on a rising ground, about five miles to the south-east
+of Soccatoo. The body was then taken from the camel's back, and placed
+in a shed, whilst the slaves were digging the grave; which being quickly
+done, it was conveyed close to it. I then opened a prayer-book, and,
+amid showers of tears, read the funeral service over the remains of
+my valued master. Not a single person listened to this peculiarly
+distressing ceremony, the slaves being at some distance, quarrelling and
+making a most indecent noise the whole of the time it lasted. This being
+done, the union-jack was taken off, and the body was slowly lowered into
+the earth, and I wept bitterly as I gazed for the last time upon all
+that remained of my generous and intrepid master. The pit was speedily
+filled, and I returned to the village, about thirty yards to the east of
+the grave, and giving the most respectable inhabitants, both male and
+female, a few trifling presents, entreated them to let no one disturb
+its sacred contents, I also gave them 2,000 cowries to build a house,
+four feet high, over the spot, which they promised to do. I then
+returned, disconsolate and oppressed, to my solitary habitation, and
+leaning my head on my hand, could not help being deeply affected with my
+lonesome and dangerous situation; a hundred and fifteen days' journey
+from the sea-coast, surrounded by a selfish and cruel race of strangers,
+my only friend and protector mouldering in his grave, and myself
+suffering dreadfully from fever. I felt, indeed, as if I stood alone in
+the world, and earnestly wished I had been laid by the side of my dear
+master: all the trying evils I had endured never affected me half so
+much as the bitter reflections of that distressing period. After a
+sleepless night, I went alone to the grave, and found that nothing had
+been done, nor did there seem the least inclination on the part of the
+inhabitants of the village to perform their agreement. Knowing it would
+be useless to remonstrate with them, I hired two slaves at Soccatoo the
+next day, who went immediately to work, and the house over the grave
+was finished on the 15th.
+
+One instance, out of many of the kindness and affection with which my
+departed master uniformly treated me, occurred at Jenna, on our journey
+into the interior. I was dangerously ill with fever in that place, when
+he generously gave up his own bed to me, and slept himself on my mat,
+watched over me with parental assiduity and tenderness, and ministered
+to all my wants. No one can express the joy he felt on my recovery; and
+who, possessing a spark of gratitude, could help returning it but by the
+most inviolable attachment and devoted zeal? It was his sympathy for me
+in all my sufferings that had so powerful a claim on my feelings and
+affections, and taught me to be grateful to him in hours of darkness and
+distress, when pecuniary recompense was entirely out of the question.
+
+The great sufferings, both mental and bodily, I had undergone at the
+death and burial of my master, and the constant agitation in which
+I was kept, occasioned a rapid increase in my disorder; and on the
+16th I could with difficulty crawl round my hut, and was obliged to
+lay myself on my mat, from which I had not strength to arise till the
+27th; old Pascoe, during that period, being very kind and attentive
+to me.
+
+In the course of this day (27th) the Gadado, Malem Moodie, and Sidi
+Sheik, came with a commission from the sultan to search my boxes, as he
+had been informed they were filled with gold and silver; but, to their
+great amazement, found I had not sufficient money to defray my expenses
+to the sea-coast. They, however, took an inventory of all my articles,
+and carried it to Bello. The gold watch intended for him, and the
+private watches of Captains Clapperton and Pearce, I had taken the
+precaution to conceal about my person. In a short time the Gadado
+and his companions returned with a message from the sultan, commanding
+me to deliver to them the following articles, viz. a rifle-gun,
+double-barrelled ditto, two bags of ball, a canister of powder, a bag
+of flints, a ream and a half of paper, and six gilt chains, for which
+he promised to give me whatever I might ask. I consequently charged him
+245,000 cowries, which I was to receive from Hadji Hat Sallah, at Kano;
+and an order was given me to receive this sum, and, what more I might
+require in my journey over the Great Desert. A letter was also sent by
+me to Hadji Hat Sallah.

+_Pyrothonide._
+
+A French physician has lately introduced into the _Materia Medica_, a
+substance produced by the combustion of linen, hemp, or cotton cloth, in
+the open air. He considers it useful in various inflammatory affections,
+especially in opthalmia, or diseases of the eye, and chilblains.
+To prepare pyrothonide, take a handful of cloth, old or new, place it
+in a shallow basin, set fire to it, moving it about, so that the basin
+do not become too hot; after the combustion is finished, throw out
+the ashes; at the bottom of the vessel will be found a semi-aqueous,
+semi-oleaginous product, of a reddish brown colour, and possessing a
+pungent odour. Pour upon this 5 oz. of cold water, which will dissolve
+it entirely, forming the solution of pyrothonide, which is used in a
+more or less diluted state, as may be requisite, for collyria,
+fomentations, &c--_Medical Journal_.
+
+
+_French Carpet._
+
+At the exhibition in the Louvre for 1827, was a carpet which occupied
+two years in making, and contains 3 or 4,000 ostrich feathers.
+
+
+_French Pigs._
+
+Whoever has travelled from Calais to Paris must have noticed the lank,
+greyhound-like forms of the French pigs; but it is not perhaps generally
+known that the Chinese and English breeds are getting into use for
+crossing. The fact that there are four millions of pigs yearly killed
+in France, shows of how great importance they are to agriculturists.
+
+
+_Indian Plaster._
+
+All the fine plaster with which the walls of the houses are covered
+in India, and which is so much admired by strangers, is composed of a
+mixture of fine lime and soapstone, rubbed down with water: when the
+plaster is nearly dry, it is rubbed over with a dry piece of soapstone,
+which gives it a polish very much resembling that of well-polished
+marble.

+
+_Method of preserving Currants fresh till January or February._
+
+When the fruit is ripe, choose those bushes enjoying a southern aspect,
+and which are most convenient in their shape, and most loaded with
+fruit, and surround them with thick straw mats, so that they shall be
+completely sheltered from atmospheric cold and other changes. By this
+simple method it will be found that the fruit may be preserved quite
+fresh till after Christmas.

+_Chromate of Iron._
+
+Is used in painting, dyeing, and calico-printing; and its value is so
+great, the proprietor of a serpentine tract in Shetland, where chromate
+of iron was found by Professor Jameson, cleared, in a few years,
+8,000l.--_Dr. Murray_.
+
+
+_Temperature of Springs._
+
+In those situations where the cold is not sufficient to hinder the
+circulation of water, the temperature of perennial springs is almost
+identical with the atmosphere. Thus, in the vicinity of Edinburgh, the
+temperature of the perennial springs agrees with the mean temperature of
+the atmosphere. The same is the case in the whole of Atlantic Europe,
+and also to a great extent in Southern Europe. The temperature of
+springs in northern regions, when the surface water is frozen, is higher
+than the mean temperature of the superincumbent atmosphere; and in the
+countries from the south of Europe to the Tropic, the temperature of
+springs is lower than that of the medium temperature of the atmosphere.

+_Humboldt's Journey to Siberia._
+
+Humboldt, although now past his 60th year, will leave Germany in the

+Russian empire.

+
+_Egyptian Manuscript relative to the History of Sesostris._
+
+At the sitting of the Aix Academy, on the 3rd of August, M. Sallier read
+a report of some very important discoveries in Egyptian history, made at
+his house, and amongst his Egyptian papyri, by M. Champollion, jeune.
+The latter gentleman was on his way to Egypt with M. Rosellini, and
+stopped two days with M. Sallier previous to proceeding to Toulon for
+the purpose of embarking. During this short period he examined ten or
+twelve Egyptian papyri, which had been purchased some years ago, with
+other antiquities, from an Egyptian sailor. They were principally
+prayers or rituals which had been deposited with mummies; but there was
+also the contract of the sale of a house in the reign of one of the
+Ptolemies; and finally three rolls united together and written over with
+fine demotic characters, reserved, as is well known, for civil purposes.
+
+The first of these rolls was of considerable size, and to M.
+Champollion's astonishment contained a _History of the Campaigns of
+Sesostris Rhamses_, called also _Sethos_, or _Sethosis_,
+and _Sesoosis_, giving accounts the most circumstantial of his
+conquests, the countries which he traversed, his forces, and details
+of his army. The manuscript is finished with a declaration of the
+historian, who, after stating his names and titles, says he wrote in
+the ninth year of the reign of Sesostris Rhamses, king of kings, a lion
+in combats, &c.
+
+M. Champollion has promised, that, on his return from Egypt, he will fix
+the manuscript on cloth for its future preservation, and give a complete
+translation. The period of the history is close to the time of Moses;
+and apparently the great Sesostris was the son of the king who pursued
+the Israelites to the borders of the Red Sea; so that a most important
+period in ancient history will be elucidated.
+
+On the same MS. commences another composition, called _Praises of the
+great King Amemnengon_. There are only a few leaves of it, and
+they form the beginning of the history contained in the second roll.
+This Amemnengon is supposed to have reigned before Sesostris, because
+the author wrote in the ninth year of the reign of the latter. M.
+Champollion had not time to enter into a particular examination of
+these rolls.
+
+The third roll relates to astronomy or astrology, or more likely to both
+these subjects. It has not been far opened; but will probably prove of
+the utmost interest, if, as it is expected, it contains any account of
+the system of the heavens as known to or acknowledged by the Egyptians
+and Chaldeans, the authors of astronomical science.
+
+A small basaltic figure was purchased with the MSS., and it is
+supposed found with them. On the shoulders of the figure is written in
+hieroglyphic characters the name, with the addition of _clerk and
+friend of Sesostris_. It did not occur to ascertain, until M.
+Champollion was gone, whether the name on the figure was the same with
+any of those mentioned in the rolls as belonging to the historian, or
+to others.--_From the French_.

+
+THE VICAR.
+
+A SECOND EVERY-DAY CHARACTER.
+
+
+  Some years ago, ere time and taste
+    Had turn'd our parish topsy-turvy,
+  When Darnel Park was Darnel Waste,
+    And roads as little known as scurvy,
+  The man who lost his way between
+    St. Mary's Hill and Sandy Thicket,
+  Was always shown across the Green,
+    And guided to the parson's wicket.
+
+  Back flew the bolt of lissom lath;
+    Fair Margaret, in her tidy kirtle,
+  Led the lorn traveller up the path,
+    Through clean clipt rows of box and myrtle.
+  And Don and Sancho, Tramp and Tray,
+    Upon the parlour steps collected,
+  Wagg'd all their tails, and seem'd to say,
+    "Our master knows you; you're expected."
+
+  Uprose the Reverend Dr. Brown,
+    Uprose the doctor's "winsome marrow;"
+  The lady laid her knitting down,
+    Her husband clasp'd his pond'rous Barrow:
+  What'er the stranger's cast or creed,
+    Pundit or Papist, saint or sinner,
+  He found a stable for his steed,
+    And welcome for himself, and dinner.
+
+  If, when he reach'd his journey's end,
+    And warm'd himself in court or college,
+  He had not gain'd an honest friend,
+    And twenty curious scraps of knowledge;--
+  If he departed as he came,
+    With no new light on love or liquor,--
+  Good sooth, the traveller was to blame,
+    And not the vicarage, nor the vicar.
+
+  His talk was like a stream which runs
+    With rapid change from rocks to roses:
+  It slipp'd from politics to puns;
+    It pass'd from Mahomet to Moses:
+  Beginning with the laws which keep
+    The planets in their radiant courses,
+  And ending with some precept deep
+    For dressing eels, or shoeing horses.
+
+  He was a shrewd and sound divine,
+    Of loud dissent the mortal terror;
+  And when, by dint of page and line,
+    He 'stablish'd truth, or startled error,
+  The Baptist found him far too deep,
+    The Deist sigh'd with saving sorrow;
+  And the lean Levite went to sleep,
+    And dream'd of tasting pork to-morrow.
+
+  His sermon never said or show'd
+    That earth is foul, that heaven is gracious,
+  Without refreshment on the road
+    From Jerome, or from Athanasius:
+  And sure a righteous zeal inspired
+    The hand and head that penn'd and plann'd them;
+  For all who understood admired,
+    And some who did not understand them.
+
+  He wrote too, in a quiet way,
+    Small treatises, and smaller verses;
+  And sage remarks on chalk and clay.
+    And hints to noble lords and nurses:
+  True histories of last year's ghost,
+    Lines to a ringlet, or a turban;
+  And trifles for the Morning Post,
+    And nothings for Sylvanus Urban.
+
+  He did not think all mischief fair,
+    Although he had a knack of joking;
+  He did not make himself a bear,
+    Although he had a taste for smoking:
+  And when religious sects ran mad,
+    He held, in spite of all his learning,
+  That if a man's belief is bad,
+    It will not be improved by burning.
+
+  And he was kind, and loved to sit
+    In the low hut or garnish'd cottage,
+  And praise the farmer's homely wit,
+    And share the widow's homelier pottage:
+  At his approach complaint grew mild;
+    And when his hand unbarr'd the shutter,
+  The clammy lips of fever smiled
+    The welcome, which they could not utter.
+
+  He always had a tale for me
+    Of Julius Caesar, or of Venus;
+  From him I learn'd the rule of three,
+    Cat's cradle, leap-frog, and Quae genus:
+  I used to singe his powder'd wig,
+    To steal the staff he put such trust in;
+  And make the puppy dance a jig,
+    When he began to quote Augustin.
+
+  Alack the change! in vain I look
+    For haunts in which my boyhood trifled;
+  The level lawn, the trickling brook,
+    The trees I climb'd, the beds I rifled:
+  The church is larger than before;
+    You reach it by a carriage entry;
+  It holds three hundred people more,
+    And pews are fitted up for gentry.
+
+  Sit in the Vicar's seat: you'll hear
+    The doctrine of a gentle Johnian,
+  Whose hand is white, whose tone is clear,
+    Whose phrase is very Ciceronian.
+  Where is the old man laid?--look down.
+  And construe on the slab before you,

+TAILORS.
+
+There is nothing upon earth that is of so much utility to men in general
+as fine clothes. A splendid equipage, a magnificent house, may draw the
+gaze of idle passers, and excite an occasional inquiry. But who, that
+has entered taverns and coffeehouses, has not perceived that the ratio
+of civility and attention from the waiter is regulated by the dress of
+his various customers? Any stranger, elegantly and fashionably attired,
+will find little difficulty in obtaining deference, politeness, and even
+credit, in every shop he enters; whereas the stranger, in more homely,
+or less modish garb, is really nobody. In truth, the gentleman is
+distinguished in the crowd only by the cut of his trousers, and he
+carries his patent of nobility in his coat-lap. And to whom does he owe
+this index of his identity, but to his despised and much calumniated
+tailor?
+
+There is not a metamorphosis in all the pages of Ovid so wonderful as
+that which the great magician of the shears and thimble is capable of
+effecting. If there be the most unpleasant disproportions in the turn of
+your limbs--any awkwardness or deformity in your figure, the enchantment
+of this mighty wizard instantly communicates symmetry and elegance.
+The incongruous and unseemly furrows of your shape become smooth and
+harmonized; and the total want of all shape is immediately supplied
+by the beautiful undulations of the coat, and the graceful fall of
+the pantaloons. And all this is by the potency of your tailor. His
+necromantic skill, unlike that of too many practisers of supernatural
+arts, is exercised only for the benefit of the world: and whilst Circe
+transformed the companions of Ulysses into brute beasts, the benevolent
+enchanter of our day transforms brute beasts into handsome and
+attractive men. Nay, had Olympus been furnished with a tailor, Brotheus
+would have had no necessity to burn himself to death for the purpose
+of escaping ridicule from the gods on account of his deformity.
+
+But he who is most indebted to this manufacturer of elegant forms, is
+the lover; and the base ingratitude of this sort of person is dreadfully
+enormous. After he has riveted the gaze of his mistress upon his
+charming figure, drawn forth sighs of admiration for his remarkable
+elegance, excited the most tender perturbations by the grace of his
+movements, and finally acquired a complete surrender of her heart
+by the striking interest of his attitude when kneeling at her feet,
+he ignorantly and presumptuously ascribes this to his own intrinsic
+qualities, without ever remembering that the abilities of his tailor are
+the sole source of all his success. The very being, who has endowed such
+a man with all his attractions, rests contented with the payment of his
+bills, (if he be fortunate enough to obtain that;) whilst the other, by
+the power of fascinations so procured, obtains a lovely wife and twenty
+thousand pounds. _Sic vos non vobis_, &c.
+
+Such is the skill of that wonderful being, the tailor, that his
+transformations are not more extraordinary than sudden. The time which
+is occupied in thus new-moulding the human frame is really trivial
+compared with the stupendous change which is literally wrought. It is
+true, the soul may remain the same, but a new body is actually given to
+it by the interposition of vestiary talent: and this is what we have
+always believed to be the genuine meaning of the metempsychosis of
+Pythagoras.
+
+It is not, therefore, without the most cogent reasons that we assert our
+opinion, that the distich of Pope, "Worth makes the man," or the title
+appended by Colley Cibber to one of his dramas, "Love makes the man,"
+ought henceforth to yield, in point of truth, to the irrefragable
+principle which we here solemnly advance, "that it is the tailor makes
+the man."--_Blackwood's Magazine_.

+
+
+THE ACTOR.
+
+Perhaps Fortune does not buffet any set of beings with more industry,
+and withal less effect, than Actors. There may be something in the
+habitual mutability of their feelings that evades the blow; they live,
+in a great measure, out of this dull sphere, "which men call earth;"
+they assume the dress, the tone, the gait of emperors, kings, nobles;
+the world slides, and they mark it not. The Actor leaves his home, and
+forgets every domestic exigence in the temporary government of a state,
+or overthrow of a tyrant; he is completely out of the real world until
+the dropping of the curtain. The time likewise not spent on the stage is
+passed in preparation for the night; and thus the shafts of fate glance
+from our Actor like swan-shot from an elephant, If struck at all, the
+barb must pierce the bones, and quiver in the marrow.
+
+Our Actor--mind, we are speaking of players in the mass--is the most
+joyous, careless, superficial flutterer in existence. He knows every
+thing, yet has learned nothing; he has played at ducks and drakes over
+every rivulet of information, yet never plunged inch-deep into any thing
+beyond a play-book, or Joe Miller's jests. If he venture a scrap of
+Latin, be sure there is among his luggage a dictionary of quotations;
+if he speak of history,--why he has played in _Richard_ and
+_Coriolanus_. The stage is with him the fixed orb around which the
+whole world revolves; there is nothing worthy of a moment's devotion one
+hundred yards from the green-room. It is amusing to perceive how blind,
+how dead, is our real Actor to the stir and turmoil of politics; he will
+turn from a Salamanca to admire a _Sir John Brute's_ wig; Waterloo
+sinks into insignificance before the amber-headed cane of a _Sir Peter
+Teazle_. What is St. Stephen's to him--what the memory of Burke and
+Chatham? To be sure, Sheridan is well remembered; but then Sheridan
+wrote the _Critic_.
+
+A mackerel lives longer out of water than does an Actor out of his
+element: he cannot, for a minute, "look abroad into universality."
+Keep him to the last edition of a new or old play, the burning of the
+two theatres, or an anecdote of John Kemble, and our Actor sparkles
+amazingly. Put to him an unprofessional question, and you strike him
+dumb; an abstract truth locks his jaws. On the contrary, listen to the
+stock-joke; lend an attentive ear to the witticism clubbed by the whole
+green-room--for there is rarely more than _one_ at a time in
+circulation--and no man talks faster--none with a deeper delight to
+himself--none more profound, more knowing. The conversation of our
+Actor is a fine "piece of mosaic." Here Shakspeare is laid under
+contribution--here Farquhar--here Otway. We have an undigested mass of
+quotations, dropping without order from him. In words he is absolutely
+impoverishable. What a lion he stalks in a country town! How he stilts
+himself upon his jokes over the sleek, unsuspecting heads of his
+astonished hearers! He tells a story; and, for the remainder of the
+night, sits embosomed in the ineffable lustre of his humour.--_Monthly
+Mag_.

+
+THE BROKEN HEART.
+
+A mutual affection had existed from their very childhood between
+Henri Merville and Louise Courtin; their respective parents were
+near neighbours, and on very friendly terms with one another; they,
+therefore, watched the infantile attachment of their children with
+great pleasure, and with still more self-congratulation did they
+perceive that, growing with their growth, and strengthening with their
+strength, it had ripened into an ardent and deep-rooted passion. When
+Henri, however, had attained his twentieth year, Louise being also only
+seventeen, it became necessary that he should leave the humble village
+of Verny, and perfect himself in his trade as a cabinet-maker, by
+visiting and working in some large and opulent towns. The lovers, amid
+their increasing happiness, had never thought of this long separation;
+so that when Henri was told by his father that he must leave home, and
+be away three years, and Louise informed by her mother of the same
+circumstance, the intelligence came upon them like an earthquake.
+Woman's feelings are more easily excited, and Louise felt as if Verny
+would be a desert without her dear Henri; he too was sad enough,
+although the preparations for his journey occupied the greatest portion
+of his time, and prevented his so continually thinking of the separation
+as she did. Grief and regret were useless; the parting hour arrived, and
+the now miserable pair were left to themselves. They mutually made vows
+of eternal constancy and fidelity; as is the custom in the provinces,
+they _exchanged rings_, and became rather more resigned to their
+unavoidable separation.
+
+Henri at last departed, and was ten miles from Verny before he could
+comprehend how he had summoned up resolution enough to leave it.
+Louise, shut up in her little room, was weeping bitterly, and felt
+no inclination to go out, since she could no longer meet Henri; but,
+in a short time, both of them, without feeling less regret, bethought
+themselves of making the wearisome interval useful to their future
+prospects.
+
+During the first eighteen months, he travelled about from town to town;
+but at last, in Lyons, made an engagement with a person who had a very
+extensive business, of the name of Gerval, for the remaining period. His
+master preferred cards and the bottle to work, and finding Henri honest
+and attentive, was anxious to retain him in his situation. He had a
+daughter, named Annette, a quick, lively, and fascinating girl, who
+seemed rather disposed to coquet with Henri, and was somewhat frequently
+in the workshop with him. Gerval observed, and by no means discouraged,
+this, thinking that, even after all, his assistant would become neither
+a bad partner for Annette nor himself; and that their intercourse, at
+all events, would keep away Louis, a former workman, who had affected
+a great regard for his daughter, but possessed very little inclination
+to use the saw or the plane. All this attention was very delightful to
+Henri, particularly as it proceeded from so interesting a creature as
+his present companion. Are, then, Verny and the sorrowful Louise quite
+forgotten? It must be confessed, that they almost escaped his memory,
+when thus employed with Annette; but, to do him justice, in the solitude
+of his chamber he experienced feelings almost akin to remorse; often in
+his dreams did he behold Louise, ever tender, ever affectionate, as in
+their infancy; this vision was recalled when he awoke, and he arose,
+vowing that she should never have a rival in his heart: but Henri was
+young, Louise two hundred _miles_ off, and Annette only two _steps_.
+
+Gerval, to keep away all aspirants, gave it out that they were
+betrothed, and especially informed Louis, the dismissed swain, of this
+agreement, who, in consequence thereof, immediately left Lyons. Henri's
+time, meanwhile, was passing away; he had received some very tender
+letters from Louise, and had written to her, but less frequently than
+he would have done if Annette had not occupied his leisure hours.
+Having, however, received no intelligence from Verny for more than
+three months, he began to be disquieted, and determined to leave Gerval,
+notwithstanding all Annette's attractions. To be sure, he had found
+her very pretty and agreeable--he had romped and flirted with her--but
+had never, for a moment, thought of marrying her, and had, strictly
+speaking, been faithful to Louise. Judge then of his surprise, when, one
+night, Gerval returned home half-drunk, and asked them, if they were
+not beginning to think of the wedding. Annette threw herself into her
+father's arms; Henri, pale as death, hid his face with his hands, and
+knew not how to articulate a refusal; and Gerval, at the sight of this
+confusion, burst out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter; "You put me
+in mind," said he, at last, "of one of those _ninnies_ of lovers on
+the stage, who throw themselves on their knees before their mistresses,
+as if they were idols. Come, my lad, embrace your betrothed--exchange
+rings--and long live joy, for it costs nothing." The words "_exchange
+rings_" restored Henri to his senses, for he thought he beheld his
+beloved Louise, amid her tears, softly exclaim, "Dear Henri, what will
+become of me without you?" And this ring, too, which was asked from him,
+was the self-same one that he had received from her!--He immediately
+addressed Gerval in a firm, yet touching, tone of voice, and, having
+thanked him, told him that he should never forget his friendship and his
+kind intentions, that he should always love Annette as a sister, but
+that he could not marry her, because he was already engaged in his own
+native place. He requested him to ask his daughter if he had ever said a
+single word about marriage to her; he might, indeed, have added, that he
+had often spoken to her of Louise, and showed her the ring, about which
+she had teased him; but he did not wish to draw the old man's reproaches
+on _her_. These reproaches all fell on _him_; he bore them,
+however, with so much gentleness, that Gerval, who was "_a good sort of
+fellow_," was, in the end, affected by it. "Go, then, and marry your
+betrothed," said he, in a half-friendly, half-vexed, tone; "since it
+is not Annette, the sooner you set off the better. I must say, I shall
+regret you; and you may, perhaps, sometime or other, regret old Gerval
+and his daughter."
+
+Henri took his departure on the next day, quite overpowered at the idea
+of having bidden Annette adieu for ever. During the four or five first
+days, the young traveller was pensive enough: Annette's smiling
+countenance occupied his thoughts, but he could no longer dissemble
+from himself, that he had acted unkindly towards Louise--"Annette will
+console herself; but will the gentle Louise forgive me? Oh, yes!--she is
+so good; I will tell her every thing, and she will admire my fidelity,
+when she knows how fascinating Annette was, and in what a situation I
+was placed." Full of this fond hope, he pursued his journey more gaily,
+and the nearer he approached his own dear province, the more was Annette
+effaced from his thoughts; for every thing around him inspired him with
+the sweetest reminiscences. It was just the beginning of May: each
+lover, on the first Sunday of that month, planted a young fir, or
+birch-tree, adorned with flowers, before his fair one's door. Henri
+thought how many he had fixed before the window of his dear Louise,
+and how happy he had been on hearing it said, the next day, that the
+loveliest girl in the village had had the finest May-offering. Oh! could
+he but arrive soon enough to announce his return in that way! He tried
+to do so, but his efforts were fruitless: the first Sunday arrived,
+and he was still two days' journey from Verny. In the evening he found
+himself in a large town, called Nuneville, fatigued with his now useless
+endeavours, and resolved to proceed no further that day. Every thing
+seemed prepared for the festival--the street was neat and clean--the
+fountains adorned with branches, and decorated with large nosegays,
+tied together with beautiful ribands--fir-trees marked the dwellings of
+the young females--all had flowers around them, but he remarked, that
+_one_ had only white ones on it, fastened with a crape riband--the
+street was deserted. Before he could reach the inn, which was at
+the other end of the town, he had to pass by the church and the
+burial-ground; the former seemed full of women, and in the latter there
+was an open grave. This melancholy sight rendered it evident, that some
+one was dead; that her loss had suspended the public joy; and the
+_bouquet_, encircled with crape, had been planted before the "house
+of mourning." He entered the church-yard--groups of females were walking
+there. They were conversing in a low tone, and Henri discovered that the
+deceased was young and beautiful; and that she had been the victim of a
+misplaced affection; he could not restrain his tears, for he thought how
+near, perhaps, he had been occasioning the death of his Louise. "But,"
+said one of the females, "why did she not imitate her fickle lover? Why
+did she not receive the addresses of your brother Guillaume?"--"She
+always told me," replied Isabelle, (the person addressed, and who was in
+deeper mourning than the others,) "that she could only love once, and
+that she had no longer a heart to give."--"Well, then," said another,
+"was she sure that her lover was faithless?"--"Quite sure. She had
+long feared that he was; she saw it in his letters, for when a woman
+like Marie loves, the heart divines every thing; still, however, she
+flattered herself with the fond hope that he would return, and that
+her forgiveness of his neglect would revive in him all his former
+affection. Three months ago this hope was destroyed, she heard that he
+was--_married_. Since that time she has only languished; she wished
+to live for the sake of her parents, but her grief has proved the most
+powerful. He quitted me in the month of May," said she to me; "in the
+month of May I shall quit life." "That time is come, and Marie is no
+more."--"Tell us her whole history," exclaimed two or three of the
+listeners, at once. Isabelle consented; they were crowding round her,
+and Henri was approaching nearer, and redoubling his attention, when
+the funeral bell tolled drearily and solemnly. He started, and Isabelle
+said, with a sigh, "I must tell you my dear friend's story another time;
+we must now accompany her remains to their last sad home, and place
+these flowers upon her coffin."
+
+They walked on mournfully, two and two, and Henri followed them with an
+interest that he could not account for, or define. The coffin advanced,
+preceded by the priests, bearing torches that were obscured by the
+silvery light of the moon; it was carried by six men, and among them it
+was easy to recognise Guillaume, by his profound sorrow; for, to Henri's
+great surprise, he alone wept. The more aged men who followed the
+corpse, the one even next it, and who, of course, was the father, or
+nearest relative of the deceased, had, like the rest, merely a composed
+and serious countenance, undisfigured by any great affliction. The body
+was lowered into the grave; the officiating minister made a brief, and
+somewhat cold, discourse on the frailty of life; the young females
+afterwards came forward, and each threw her wreath of flowers on the
+coffin; and then chanted some rhymes.
+
+The grave was then about to be filled up; the noise of the earth, in
+falling, resounded on the coffin, and Henri shuddered. The crowd
+gradually dispersed; Guillaume and Isabelle alone remained beside the
+tomb; Henri approached it, and Isabelle observing him, with a forced
+smile, said, "Did you know her? I have seen you follow the funeral train
+with apparent interest, and now I behold you in tears; are you a
+relation, friend, or only even a native of the same place?" Henri
+listened to these questions with great surprise; "I scarcely understand
+you," he at length replied; "I am merely a traveller; but the deceased
+was, doubtless, _your_ friend?"--"Yes, my best, my dearest friend;
+yet our friendship was doomed to be of very short continuance. I was
+not at all acquainted with her until, about three months ago, she
+came to reside with my father, who is a physician, and to whose care
+her relations, when aware of her forlorn state, confided her." "Her
+relations," remarked Henri, "did not seem to be much affected; they
+appeared, indeed, quite resigned to their loss." "Her relations!"
+replied Isabelle, "she had none here; she was a stranger, and my father
+attended as chief mourner; he lamented her loss, but Marie was not his
+daughter, although I _myself_ loved her as a sister." "Marie!" she
+was called Marie! but what was her family-name? Often shall I think of
+her unhappy destiny. "Marie was only a name that she adopted, and we
+called her, because she could never bear to hear her own." "Isabelle,"
+said she to me, almost at our first meeting, "never name me as he who
+has destroyed me named me; never, I entreat you, call me _dear
+Louise_." "Louise!" exclaimed Henri, growing pale as death; "Louise!"
+"Yes, Louise Courtin, of Verny!" No sooner had Isabelle uttered these
+words, than she beheld the young traveller fall senseless beside the
+grave, feebly repeating the name of Louise. Isabelle, in alarm, called
+her brother to her assistance; they raised up the stranger, who opened
+his eyes for a moment, and again muttered the same words. "Gracious
+Providence!" exclaimed the affrighted girl, "it is--it must be--Henri!"
+The youth made an effort, and cried out, in a frantic manner: "Yes!
+Henri, the murderer of his beloved; the assassin of Louise!" He then
+again fell down exhausted, and to all appearance dead. Guillaume had
+him conveyed to his father's, where every assistance that skill could
+devise, was tendered him; but he only recovered his recollection
+sufficiently to learn from Isabelle, that a person named Louis had
+brought positive intelligence to Verny, that Henri had espoused his
+master's daughter at Lyons; that her father himself had made him
+acquainted with the circumstance, and that he had seen the newly married
+couple in all the raptures of connubial happiness. It was impossible to
+discredit this news, which was a death-blow to the sensitive Louise.
+
+After having listened to this melancholy narrative, Henri, when he had
+regained sufficient composure, entrusted Isabelle with his vindication,
+for Louise's parents and his own, and expired without a groan the next
+day. The same moon which had illuminated his betrothed's funeral shone
+upon his, and they repose beside each other in the picturesque
+burial-ground of Nuneville, not quite forgotten or unlamented by its
+inhabitants.--_Abridged from a collection of interesting Tales and

+BEARS ON THE ICE.
+
+_From the Tales of a Voyager._
+
+With two boats, we assailed six of these animals, who had collected
+round the "crang," or carcass of a whale. After lying at the bottom
+of the sea for some time, the body of the whale rises to the surface,
+probably buoyed up by gas generated by putrefaction in its entrails.
+This circumstance is by no means uncommon, especially late in the
+summer, when time has been allowed for fermentation; but it seems to
+point out that the depths of the Arctic Ocean contain few or no animals
+to prey upon the numerous carcasses which are let sink after flinching,
+since, otherwise, the mass would become pierced and unable to float,
+if not wholly devoured. We slew five of the six bears, and brought a
+half-grown cub on board alive. This poor harmless beast was wounded in
+two or three places superficially with a boat hook, but its disposition
+seemed scarcely to have warranted these trifling blows. I was moved to
+compassion as it sat upon the jaw-bone of a whale, which projected
+beneath the tafrail, at one moment devouring pieces of its mother and
+sister with avidity, and at the next stretching its throat and blaring
+out mournfully, when a fragment of ice met its view, passing astern as
+we sailed on our course. It was about the size of a sheep, and after
+their tea the sailors got it down below, and turned it loose betwixt
+decks, from whence it sent up all hands with precipitation, some of them
+quitting their berths half-naked, as if a fall had been called. After
+a sufficient allowance of frolic had gratified the crew, a daring
+Shetlander collared the bear as if it had been a dog, and fastened a
+fresh rope round its neck, and having forced it to leap overboard, the
+rope's end was thrown to the boat's crew of a visiter, at that moment
+about to leave us, and it was towed or rather led away. The following
+day I saw its skin stretched on the shrouds of the vessel, to whose
+captain it had been presented. The other bear chace was after a
+monstrous male, who resolutely faced us, and would have boarded our boat
+had it not shot past him. He was flanked by the ship, which had run down
+upon him as he lay exactly in her course, and by the boat, which had got
+between him and the ice, and seeing no other resource, he turned upon
+the boat. When discovered, he was so near the floe that, wishing to
+intercept him, we leaped into the boat, and lowered away without waiting
+for a gun; we were, therefore, obliged to meet him at close quarters.
+But while we stood prepared, Shipley with a lance, and myself with the
+boat's hatchet, to receive his onset, the skiff was allowed to keep on
+her headway, and we passed beyond our foe, who took advantage of the
+error, and dashed forward to the ice, which he gained just as our boat
+in pursuit of him ran her nose up against the floe, and almost tripped
+his heels.
+
+It was said by the harpooner, who first caught sight of this bear, that
+he was floating on his back in the water; and Greenlanders maintain, how
+truly or wrongly I know not, that bears sometimes throw themselves into
+this position to avoid being seen. Another reason for this attitude they
+affirm to be, a power possessed by bears of flinging themselves suddenly
+forward, by a violent jerk, whilst extended on their backs, so as to
+bring themselves at once into a boat; but this is a feat of which I do
+not believe them capable. Whilst speaking of bears, I may mention here,
+that the mate of the Dundee nearly lost his life this summer, from the
+fury of a she brownie, who attacked him on the ice. After killing her
+cub, he had fired at her, and struck her on the jaw, which remained
+gasping, as if dislocated, and believing her _hors de combat_, he
+got upon the floe, to take possession of her slain offspring. The she
+bear, however, though she had fled, now returned, and rushing towards
+her enemy, threw him down, but was unable to mangle him; for though her
+mouth was wide open, she had lost the ability to close it. Nevertheless,
+she mounted upon his prostrate body, and trampled it severely, before
+the crew of his boat could come to his rescue. When they did arrive, a
+sailor who brought the gun lost his presence of mind at the sight before
+him, and stood staring at the scene inactive; others, more bold, thrust
+the bear aside with lances; and the mate being freed from its weight,
+arose, took the gun from its bearer, and shot away the unlucky lower jaw
+of the beast completely. She then fell a victim to the weapons of his
+men. When I received this account from him, he was nearly recovered from
+the violence he had suffered from the enraged brute, but not till after
+having been for some time confined to his hammock.

+ANCIENT AND MODERN THEATRES.
+
+It appears, that our ancient theatres were little better than
+_barns_, while those of the present day may vie with palaces in
+extent, splendour, and decoration; and nothing can more strongly exhibit
+the contrast between the present age and that of Queen Elizabeth, than
+the difference in the expense of a London theatre. The Rose playhouse,
+which was erected about the year 1592, cost only 103l. 2s. 7d.,--a sum
+which would scarcely pay half the expenses of a modern patent theatre
+for a single night. Only let the reader think of the rush roof of the
+_Globe_, and the gilt-work ceilings of our present theatres; the
+open area,--and the cloth-covered seats of the pit; and the magnificence
+of our saloons, halls, staircases, and corridors,--all in the noblest
+style of architectural decoration--_Companion to the Theatres._

+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by

+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year. For example:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
