They lefi the Hotel of the Invalids behind them towards the left, and passed parallel to the military school, and the Champ de Mars, where the Pontde Jena now stands, and opposite to the since projected site of the palace of the king of Rome. The night was dark, and the river was visible below them only by the light of the lamm which lined its banks, reflected deep into its bosom, and seem ing a regular colonnade of brill'nnt pillars rising from the bottom of the stream. Cornelius was silent, for his mind was filled with thought, and. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from High-Ways and by-Ways, or Tales of the Roadside: Picked Up in the French Provinces by a Walking Gentleman No, no, sir take your knapsack, and your stick, and walk Lin ger, and lounge, and loiter on the way. Throw yourself among the people, as if you came by chance, and not from curiosity. Spend a dav here, and a week there. Be generous, but not profuse. Excite gratitude, not envy. Let information flow in gushing springs, but do not strive to force it up by pumping. Do all this, and a little time will show you how wise you have become. I am answered, perhaps, that time is not given to all men in the same profuseness; that where I have a year to spare, another may have but a month. Then, I reply, spend your month with profit. Measure at the end of it the minds you have analysed, not the leagues you have driven over; and if you have but sauntered through one district of a foreign nation, in communion with the inhabitants, you are better informed than he who has galloped from Calais to Paris, and thence to Florence, Rome, and Naples.
