There was no way up, for touristt did

found themselves on a grassy .. plateau

that breaks out most quaintly even in

his consolations te widows he cautions
them against consoling themselves, too

of an example of ; unseemly haste he
cites the pill* of Ephesus whose story
is told by Pet -toning :
Her beloved spettee was laid in the

went down into theivault to I weep awl

cemetery was a gibbet, on Which was
soldier stood guard. He saw the wit -
man go into the vault, and finding it
very lonely where he was standing, he
presented himself at the door ef the
tomb, and scraped acquaintance with
the disconsolete woman. She permit-
ted him to come in, and then .told him
that she was there to perish with her
dear departed. He succeeded in the
course of a few' hoare in convincing her
that it would be ninch more sensible to
live for him than io die for the deal
man, and they steuck up an engage:
ment before the Morning light returned.
This being settledithe soldier went up
