pidity did not form a prominent trait In . his
character, it was a quality which very; much
resembled stupidity, aud might easily be "mis
taken for it, by at Jeast half the - worlds i-He
had always manifested a singular abstraction,
generally described as. absence of mind, and
wouljl freqneutly roam about the streets an

After travelling a ftW miles the pedestrian fell

tablishment which looked as though it was
just about half a tavern lor a drink. A
good natured fellow waited upon him, brought
liia brandy and water, and. in addition, fur
nished him with a bit - of bread and cheese,'
All this was decidedly welcome and refresh-
