He of the grey eye was building, a few
'miles off, a palace like & residence. It
'was of great size and beauty. Wow lie
fhad it furnished wilh'fho most Bumptuous
luxury. Co'it and pains were not spaied,
until desire had no further room for wish
iutr. Here tills rich man 'settled himself :
and here, when ho hall become a little
used to his grandeur; so that it did not sit
swkwaidlv unon him. lie determined to
rive a sunerb entertainment.
Preparations were accordingly made;
scientific cooks were encaged; foreign deli
cacies purchased, and the most exquisite
iliatipi nrenarcd.
The hour and the company arrivedand
ilia master of the feast looked round witb a
nmlln. a9 each ono seated himself at his
place. They ate and drank and mado merry,
Delieht. and Friendiless, and Comfort
seemed the presiding spirits of the banquet,
After a while.when their glaswes were filled
with rich wine it was proposed that they
should have a toast. So a bcnevolont look
ing elderly gentleman rose, and after speak
ing a few moments, to the purport that ho
felt suie that all those present wpuld join
him, he raised his glass aloft, his examplo
being 'followed by -the others, and said;
'Even handed bwj which in our glo
mus republic dispense to all impartiality
their dues.'
When the revellers heard tho sentiment
Ihev clinked their classes together, and
'raised a peal which made tho lofty ceiling
rino-'seain then a second and tuen a third
which was a louder and gladder peal
'than either.
And at the Banie moment that (ho echoes

It was that of tho tipler, who stole the loaf
when he was famishing, and had been sent
to exmate his crime bv toil and imprison

'bira weak, and he could not bear up against

of which will be found in to-days paper.
Up to the hour of adjournment, no comma

An attempt was mado on the last day of
the session to get up tho removal bill in the
