THE -CLERMIAA'S. ADMIN.

On a dreary day, in the ,reigti of Frederie

of the travelling; but leaning-back in a cor

it was fair to sapposethat this gentleman be

.chan'ee,.of getting anythingsto do in my own
neighborhood. 1 have no relative to help me,
and :not quite enough to find me in nece::...a•

:is I.nd none of these useful coisins live .in

This was -in a comical dry Wfly, so that
_his listener could nut refrain from laughing,
but•lie itinde no comment. However, he pull
ed out a 'Pitied of Paper; and 'began, to write
upon its. When be, had.-finished, he turned
'arcund to Ueinricb, saying that
_he observed
he had been smoking, and that he - had felt
inclined ro the same, but had forgotten to
bring tinder with him. : Coitld Herr Meyer
oblige birn with a light ;'t
" Certniuky, with great pleasure," was the
prompt reply ; and Heinrich, taking n tinder
box' out of his Wallet, immediately : began to
strike Now, The evening i<•as damp,
so danip that that there`seemed little enough •
prcpect pf, the tinder's= lighting.; moreover,
the wind blew the sparks 'out almost 14fore
they -fell. •
"'Well, if your cousins are not more easily
to be got at than your light is, I pity yc,u,
young sir," was the sole - remark to•which the
stranger condest::ended, as he watched Hein
rich's laborious endeavors. \
" Nil ticsperanclum is my..tiotto," answer
ed the young man; and when the words were
scarcely uttered thcii,iht had been struck.—
In his delightof-Fucceeding, ifeinrieh jumped
up
.cin the . .carriage step; -and leaning. through
the window', thrust. The tinder eagerly in the
tlirection of the ger:Lien:lan's face: "hlurrah,
si.r,, puff away r. •
After a short .pause, during which:time the
stranger had been pnfang at. his, pipe, he ,re
moved it frOut his mouth, and addressed Hein
rich in this :way
4+
M I have' been thinking over what you
have been tellindine, and perhaps, in an huw
-Ide way, I might be able to assist you, and I
thus act the, part of the cousin you are . s2:ek
ing. At all events, when you get tb Berlin, I
take this note," handing him a slip of Tapes
'on which he had been writing; " take this
note to Afarshall•Grumkow, who is somewhat
of a friend of mine. Bnt mind 1 . Do exact-.
ly as be bids you, and abide strictly by his
advice.. If he says he will nJv ulr I
on be will keep his word; but lie is rather
eccentric, and the way he sets about doing a
kindness may perhaps seem strange to you.
And now, he continued," be continued, "as
the road is improved I must hurry on the I
horses, and so bid you good evening, hoping
you will prosper in your tiesv,career!"
As. Heinrich began to express his thanks
for the good wishes of his -unknoitn friend, I
the signal was given to increase the speed of

searching , for the residence or Grurnkow. 7 --
The house was; however, at,lnSt gained,.and
having delivered his missive to a servant,
Heinrich awaited the result in the ball; In
a few minute's.the servant retnrned, and re-.
quested him, in a- most respectful manner, to
follow hint to . .the
. marshal's presence. Ar

and the marshal madelnany' inquiries as to.
his past life and future - prospects ; 'requested
to be told.thc name or the , village or town in
which be had been educated; at *hat. inn
he was living in Berlin, etc. But still no al.

writer Of .it. iThe interview lasted about
twenty minute's ;• and at the end . Of which
time the, marshali dismissed•,hint, desiring

At last the time appointed for' his second
visit to the marshal argi'ed. llis reception
was again most favdrahle. Tits marshal
begged
,b im to , be seated at. the table at which
lie was writing, Und pioneeded at the same
time to busineSs. Uttloeking"a-drawer and
bringing *forth small 'bundle :of papers, .he
asked Heinrich, as be drew them fonlt ono

and so on. -
" Quite . right," remarked'The marshal "and
perhaps "it may, not surprise yon to hear that
I have Written !to these different -g,entletnen;
to inquire youreharaeter, that I may know .
with whom I have to deal,' and nat'be work

the marshal fixed his eyes,.on Heinrich to see
what of ee'l they - had, but the younu: man's
countenance was unabashed; he. evidently
feared no evil report. "I feel bound.," con
tinned 61 marshal, to tell you that all they .

leading to the courtsard, which- he passed
through a gatC.in the wall into a narrow side
stteel. down:which he conducted Heinrich,
till they arrived at a private entrance to the
palace. Heinrich IstAgan to be exceedingly

not a mere trick of the imagination becathe,
stronger and stronger. :Could-he Lave had

from exclaiming " Indeed. Herr !dahlia!,
there must be stone mistake :"
No answer. w.ts vouchsafed as- the marshal
continued to lead him through various galler
ies and. apartments,.untir at last they reach

wing of the Palace, where the marshal's'
knock was unstiered by a ,Short.." come in."
: A3 the door : opened one' - glance sufficed to
convince Heinrich that his friend in the mud
and, the king were one and:the saute person.
The poor Cousin seeker, greatly confused: .
knelt before Fredtric • and be g an
faltering out many contrite apologies.
" Rise, yonng -man," said the king, " you
.
have not - committed treason. How on earth
could yQU geess.who I

travel quietly if Imeant -.everywhere . to be
recognized."
After reat:;. , tiring the king told .
him that he waS pep:trod to do %that he could

chosen.
" But Erst, he said, " I must. hear you
preach. 'On Sunday .next, therefore, you.
shall preach .before - me ; but ruiud, Shall
choose the text. , You may tetift."
By the time ileinrich Meyer reached - his
room in the'lnti, he had fixed in his mind. the
fact that-he was to preach to the.king. The
fact was only too clear, and all he could do
was to set about preirarinz his sermon as soon
as he sliou4 receive the text. F o r the re.
