handsome and expressive head was marked with
stern powerful lines, which did not exclude an
admirable air of bullering, resignation, and in
eilable goodness. The hair, as well as the beard
and eyebrows, was black; and the latter, by some
singular caprice of nature, instead of being separ

from one temple to the other, in a single bow,

place, which as we have said, was directly
opposite the window. Just then, a bright ray of
sunlight, piercing the clouds, shone full upon two

tance, the sea was visible, and appeared to mingle
with the dark cloud. The sun, just now shining
upon these two remarkable figures (which it ap
peared impossible to forget, after once seeing
them), augmented their brilliancy.
Starting from his reverie, and casting his eyes
by chance upon these portraits, Samuel was great

" What noble and handsome faces! " he exclaimed,
as ho approached to examine them more closely
'Whose are these portraits? lhey are not

He is a priest, and this family will finish with

at the door, behind which voices were now audible.
He turned the key twice in the lock, and threw
the portals open. lo his great regret, he saw
only Gabriel on the steps, between Rodin and
Father d'Aigrigoy. The notary, and bathsheba,
who hud served them as a guide, waited a little
