"That was a good work of yours. She ia a comet that haa a Btrange fauey only to come forth like a corpse-candle, and daneo oyer men's graves. It ia her way. When men will have her out in the noon of their youth, she kills them; and the painter's bier is set under bia Translignration, and- the soldier 'a body is chained to the St, Helena rock, and the poet^s grave is made at Missoloughi, It is always BO." Estmere bowed his head in assent; he was endeavor- ing to remember where he had once met th...is stranger who thus addressed him — where he had once heard these mellow, ringing, barmonious accents.
"Was it because you were afraid of dying in your prime, that you would never woo Fame then yourself?" aalied L^iis, with a smile.
"Oh-hfe!" answered Tricotrin, seating himself on a deal bos that served as a tabic, and whereat be and the arti:it bad eaten many a meal of roa^t eboatrmtfl and black coli'ee. '*I never wanted her; she is a weather vane, never still two moments; she is a spaniel that quits the Flant^genet the moment the battle goes against him, and fawns on Boiingbreke ; she is an alchemiat's crucible, that has every fair and rich thing thrown into it, but will only yield in return the calcined stones of chagrin and disap- pointment; she is a harlot, whose kisses are to be bought, %jiit who runs after those who* brawl the loudcBt and Bwag£%r the finest in the workPs market-pluces.
