paced tho streets of Purls, in all the senses of
thn word, in order to forget her or distract
my mind. I had but ono Imago in my heart,
ono tin'mo upon my lips. My friends, whom
my melancholy saddened, drew nwny ono by
one, niul when ono day I wanted to confldo
in ono, nnd I iinmed to him my mysterious
passion, ho began to laugh, saying that thoso

"Last Now Year's day, re-entering Tnrls, I
hoard tho rolling of a drum. A saltim
baniuo was gathering n crowd nnd n clown
was ranging thorn In n circle, 1 pushed my
way to tho llrst row of tho crowd.
"By tho sldo of tho drum stood n horso
'curiously nccoutarcd. On his heud was a
bunch of thrro colored feathers, faded and
stringy, and on his buck n mantle, onco roil

which may hnvo been gilded tho first year of
