He looked at me compassionately. "Poor fellow," said he, "how I pity you! You have not yet begun life. Life is long and tedious. Pass me that bottle, will you? Yes, sir, I say that life is a miserable burden. Young man, I pity you; you have years of miserable life before you. I meant the other bottle. Poor, poor fellow! so much misery before you. That brandy's about the worst. Come and see me at the legation. Good night." And, with these words, the distinguished diplomat departed.

I turned to my friend. "This is disgraceful." "We 're used to it. It's so every night," was his answer. And so it proved to be.

It is but just to say that the General has recently been relieved by a gentleman who is really worthy of the name; but as I have described him, he walked about Lisbon for months, as the accredited representative of the United States.

6. So the unjust rulers established their decree, and those who did not arise up early and worship in that temple were sent empty away.

7. But the people murmured at the unjust rulers, who bound heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and laid them on men's shoulders, but they themselves would not move them with one of their fingers.

8. And the people cried unto the priests, saying, Speak ye for us to our rulers, that we rise not up early to worship in a strange temple.

9. So the priests rebelled against those unjust rulers, saying, Why would ye force on the wayfarer and wanderer and on the people within the gates that which ye yourselves do not and in which ye put no trust?

10. Think ye to be called holy before the Lord when we rise up early to worship at your word and ye lie in idleness and sleep?

11. Wo unto you, hypocrites! for ye make for yourselves mantles of another's virtue and would win heaven by it.

12. Thus were the rulers put to shame before the people; nevertheless they departed not out of their evil ways.
