The tall, thin, old and atrabiltous Archangeli was busy attending to his patients for five or srx leagues around, mounted upon a donkey of Holstein. The first visit the young man had to pay when he did get out was one of thanks to his doctor, and, in order to fulfill this duty in the most satisfactory manner pos- sible, he watched the time when Archangeli went out. The gratitude due to the husband would have thus to be expressed to the wife. When, however, our philoso her really found * himself in the presence 0 that charming; young person, he had nothing whatever to say, but he sat down twisting his cap in his hands, and he felt that he was blushing up to his ears. What is equally curious is, that Wilhelmina did the same thing. But it is an old poverb, that love makes boys stupid and sharpens the wits of girls, and Wilhelmina soon found means by referring to the events of the nuptial day. to relieve the embarrass- ;ments of her husbands’s patients. 7 More {than that, the visits were repeated; they L would not have been Germans and not musi- cal, so soon they got the one to singing and the other to laying the accompaniment-- One day the actor came in wnile they were thus engaged : it was impossible to deny the young man’s convalescence, and whilst he was stuttering out his acknowledgements, the great empiric was bowrng his formal con- gratulations. ' Winchelmann remained to supper. The learned Archangeli had, like mort of his class, a smattering of all things ; Winckelmann was a pedagogue in love, and Willing to talk forever, so long as Wilhelmina was there looking on and smilling approba- (ion, and the evening passed so pleasantly l l l l that the doctor insisted upon a re etition, and l indeed, could never afterwar is take his Evening meal without the pre'sgn‘itp of the l Archangeli, iii his quality of doctor, march- ed pompously to the succour of the unfortu- nate youth. \Vilhelmina had turned white as a sheet. Winckelmann had recovered his consciousness, but was a prey to a burning fever, the origin of which the empiric’s science could not fathom, and as for curing it, ifnature had not done the most, the illus- trious antiquary and the “History of Art” would have most litrely been buried then and there, in that obscure village, together. Such ignoble eventualities may have happened to other philosophers. -t'o Winckelmann said not a word, but, paying his. hill, he stepped up stairs for his knap- sack and stick, and casting one long look at the cottage, he resumed his journey. An hour afterwards he was picked up by two peasants, lying insensible at the foot of a tree, and he was taken back to the Golden bun at the very moment that the nuptial party were reLentering'oid Butler’s house.

Then, Unfortunately, it so happened that at the moment of Winckelmann’s arrival at Ve- rona, Madame Speroni and their daughter Cinthia had gone with the Senator Speroni to accompany him as far as Vicenza, on his way to Dussau, near Berlin, whither he was bound in connexion with a legacy left by a deceased aunt. We must now fain pass over a lapse of twenty-seven years. ‘i-Vinckelmann, had, in 1768, taken his place among the most dis- tinguished men of his time; he presided over the department of antiquities at Rome, and was chieflihrarian of the Vatican.

They thought that he was going to cut his throat. When they had somewhat re- covered from their hilarity, however, they still stayed to make inquiries as to how it was that so nice :1 young man was reduced to; making his toilette by the river-side.’ Winck- l elmann told- his history with a. charming simplicity, only he omitted the incident at Gelnhausen.

The wine was passed rapidly, the Count pro- duced the dice, two empty tumblers were used as boxes, and the victimiser and the victim were soon deeply engaged in a strug- gle, in which the life and welfare of the one were at stake. But what chance had he agaitst loaded dice? Two fives and a four “ I regret very much that I have exceeded my resources,” urged the young man, “and I really cannot pay you just now.” “Nonsense, exceeded your resources!
