No; but the fragment contains a curiosity English verses written by a French Prince of the Blood, and which at first I had a mind to add to my "Royal and Noble Authors;" but as he was not a royal author of ours, and as I could not please myself with an account of him, I shall revert to my old resolution of not exposing my pen's grey hairs.
Gyp too had seen the humours of her baby, of its queer little reddish pudge of a face, of its twenty-seven black hairs, and the dribble at its almost invisible mouth; but she had also seen it as a miracle; she had felt it, and there surged up from her all the old revolt and more against his lack of consideration. It was not a funny one her baby! It was not ugly!
Presently a cloud of dust rose between us, and I saw them no more, but I brought away a very pretty picture in my mind Mingo with his hat raised in farewell, the sunshine falling gently upon his grey hairs, and the little girl clinging to his hand and daintily throwing kisses after me. EMMIGRATION is a much more serious matter than revolution. Virtually, it is obliteration.
Thy thoughts and feelings shall not die, Nor leave thee, when grey hairs are nigh, A melancholy slave; But an old age serene and bright And lovely as a Lapland night, Shall lead thee to thy grave. Where is the woman, recognizable as such, who will question that the brother of Dorothy Wordsworth was right?
I argued that our meeting, if we really had met, could not have taken place many years ago, for I recognized exactly the curling gray hairs in the professor's beard, the wrinkles in his forehead, and a slight mark upon one cheek, just below the eye.
At any rate, she would be beneath the same sky, and the dear hope of meeting them would be a continual comfort.

She was only sixty, but hard labor and severe usage had told upon her heavily.
And looking at his lined face I saw things I had never noticed before, bitter things and bitter struggle and what a lot of gray hairs there seemed suddenly in his red beard! As best I could, I explained the circumstances of the purchase of those ill-omened boots. But his face and voice made so deep impression that during the next few minutes I ordered many pairs. Nemesis fell!
"Well, then, what in Sam Hill could make a woman " "Lonesome!" snapped Gertie. "And the floorwalker got fresh to-day. And I found two gray hairs to-night. And I'd give my next week's pay envelope to hear the double click that our front gate gives back home." "Back home!" echoed the Kid Next Door in a dangerously loud voice. "Say, I want to talk to you.
I told him my story, and he listened, swallowing his mouthful, then cast his eyes down and rubbed his chin, which had a small tuft of hairs growing on it, and finally said, "I don't know. I must ask my wife. But come in and have a cup of tea we're just having a cup ourselves, and perhaps you'd like one."
There is not a good feeling in my heart, but my heavenly Father has put it there: ay, I have not a power which he has not given, a thought which he does not know; even the very hairs of my head are all numbered. Whither shall I go then from his presence? Whither shall I flee from his Spirit? For he filleth all things.
