Few persons have cvperienced greuter vi

King of the French. More than forty years
niouiitait oils regions of the Alps, and without
recourccs, living almost on charity, lie was at

liimscll to teaching for his support, and for eight
months Ik; performed the duties ol profeSt'or in
the college of Ueichenan, instrwcting daily in
llitory, tnutheniatros, and the French and
Knglish liinguagcs. This feature m his liiutory,
strikingly exemplifies the force and decision
of his charactor Satisfied that his mother
and sister had found places df safety, lie trusted

The yellow fever broke out in Philadelphia
on their return, arwl these I'ritrces were sojioot
and reduced as to bo 'unable to leave the city
until a fortunate reniittunce from their mother
gave them the means of making an excursion
to New York, Boston, and the Eastern States.
Learning that their mother by a new law of
France had been sent to Spain, the exiles
hastened to rejoin her, and as'the surest, though
not the most expeditions way, travelled with a

strong mind was equal to the vicissitudes. His

' title of his deceased parent, and sought refuge
