Ihe KIL AG AL4J P_ S.
(Concluded from No. LXX.)
I HAD fallen into a deep revery, frofc
which the ringing of a large bell touted
me. All the company was again atfcmbledg
and a gentleman of a most graceful and elt*
gant appearance, pronounced a short fpcccb
upon Covetousness. His voice was melodi«
ous, and his yefturt and manner of speaking
irrefirtibly pleating
To this succeeded a few pieces of the grand
est fnufic I had ever heard, and closed tht#
delightful feene.
During the tfcai Palangeis time, two in
cidents particularly eicired my curiosity,
Aneldeily gentleman, who had fat reading,
as if inattentive to every thing befitfes hie
book, role suddenly, and, crofting the Con
valuon, presented his book open to a lady,
who resembled arose in full bloom. Hev
beauties were not faded, but in the moment
of beginning to approach a fading state. But
;his appealed to be the eftetf of grief ratbef
than of time.
She looked earnestly, for a few minutes, in
to the book, and then putting two of htt
fingers near the top of a page, as if pointing, ai
some particular paflage, (he returned it to th#
gentleman, alking him, at I thought from hat
looks, to re fomeihing. The gentleman
bowed affentingly, ?ud retiring to a table,
Teemed to transcribe something from the boob
on a half (heet of paper, which he folded up.
and presented to the Belplaiftaire I.
The aftlitfed lady opened the paper, anj
read it; then folding it up in a manner thaft
shewed some other objed engrotled bet
thoughts, her hands fell together upon hag
lap, and her eyes swam in tears.
