During his\nperiod of domicile, Mark was entertained by one hundred and fifty loading citizens at dinner, at the Windsor\nHotel. As was to have been expected,\nhe delivered a characteristic and\namusing speech, which the Toronto\n(llobe, with its usual enterprise, received by telegraph as it was delivered,\nand placed before' its readers in the\n-morning. We can only find room for\nthe concluding part of it:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"What you lack in weather you\nmake up in the means of grace. This\nis the ifirat time I was ever in a city\nwhere you couldn't throw a brick without breaking a church window (a\nlaugh), yet I was told that you wore\n.going one more. I said, \"The scheme\nis good; but where are you going to\nfind room?\" They said, \"We will\nbuild it on top of another church and\nuse an'elevator.1' This shows that tlie\ngift of lying ia not yet dead in the\nland. J. suppose one must come in\n\"the summer to get the advantage of\nthe Canadian scenery. A cabman\ndrove me two miles up a perpendicular hill -in a sleigh, and showed me\nan admirable mow-storm from the\nheights of Quebec. Tlie man was an\nass. 1 could have seen the snow-storm\nas well from tho hotel window and\nsaved nl'y Money, Still I may have\nbeen the ass myself. There is no\ntelling, the thing is all mixed up in my\nmind, but anyway there was an asi iu\nthe party, and 1 do suppose that wherever a mercenary cabman and a .gifted\nrotary character are gathered together\nfor buEUiMi, there is bound to bean\nass In, the combination somewhere. It\nhas alwiiys been no iu my experience,\nand I have usually been elected, too;\nbut it is no matter. I would rather\nbe an ass than a cabman', except in\nsummer;'then', with my advantages,\n1 could be both. (Cheers and laughter.1) I satr the plains of Abraham\nand the spot where the lamented Wolfe\nstood when he made the memorable\nremark that lie would rather be the\nauthor of Gray's Elegy than take\nQuebec.. Hut why did nVfcay so rash\na thing? It was because he supposed\nthere was going to be an international\ncopyright. (Laughter) < ffcheTwhre,\nthere woirld.tw no money in it. I was\nalso shown the spot.where Sir William\nIMiii.s stood when he said ho would\nrather talie a nalk than take two Que-\nbees, and he took the walk. (Renewed\nlaughter.) I have looked with emotion here ipyour city upon tfc\u00C2\u00AB Monument which makes forever memorable\nthe spot where Horatio Nelson didn't\nstaim, when he fell. I have seen tlie cab\nwhich Cliamplsiii employed when he\narrived overland,at Quebec; I nave\nseen the horse which Jacques Cartier\nrode when he discovered Montreal\nI have used them both. I will never\ndo it again. Yes; I have seen all the\nhistorical places; the localities have\nbeen pointed out to me where the\nscenery is warehoused for the season.\nMy sojourn has been to my moral Ami\nintellectual profit. 1 have behaved\nwith propriety and discretion. I have\nmeddled nowhere but in the election.\nI am used to voting, for I live in a\ntown where, if yon may judge, by the\nlocal prints, there are only two con\nspicuous industries, committing burglaries and holding elections, and I\nlike to keep my hand in. So I voted\na good d\u00C2\u00AB*.l jrsre. Where so ninny of\nthe guests are French the propriety\nwill be vicojiftfeed of my making a\nportion of my speech in the beautiful\nlanguage, iii order that I may be understood. I speak French with tvtn-\nidiiy and no^flowingly, except when\nexcited. When using that language I\nhave often noticed that I have hardly\never been mistaken for a Frenchman,\nexcept perhaps by horses\u00E2\u0080\u0094never, I believe, by pepple. I had hoped that\nmere French constructiont with English words, would answer, but this Is\nnot the case! I tried it at a gentleman's house at Quebec, and it would\nnot work. The maid-servant.asked,\n\"What would, MonsieUr r 1 said,\n\"Monsieur so-and-so, is he with himself.\" (Cheers and laughter.) She\ndid not understand. I said, \"Is It\nthat he is still not returned from his\nhouse of merchandise,1' She did not\nunderstand tliat either. I said, \"He\nwill desolate himself when he Isarus\nthat his friend American was arrived\nhere, and he hot with himself to shake\nhim at the hand.\" (Uproarious laugh-\ntor.) She did not,even understand\nthat. I don't know why, hut she didn't,\nand she lost h'ei' temper besides. Somebody in the rear called out, \"Qui est\ndone la,\" or words to that effect. She\nsaid, ''Cost imfouj'/aud shut the door\non me. (Iioiid \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 and prolonged laughter.) Perhaps she was right, but how\ndid she ever find that out, for she had\nnover seen ine before till that moment,\nBut, as I have already intimated, I\nwill close this oration with a few sentences in the I ranch language. I\nhave not ornamented them. I have not\nburdened theni with flowers of rhetoric, for to my mind that literature is\nbest and most endearing which is characterized 'by a,,pobla simplicity.

And what a precious idiot\nwas I\u00E2\u0080\u0094George Wilde Greville, Esrp,\nof tho county of Hampshire, England\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nto have ruli my head -into such ith extremely unpleasant position. To what\nheight and breadth and depth of folly\nwill not tho ardent love of pedestrian\ntouring, which is inherent in the youth\nof Great Britain, lead Its devoted and\npig-headed victims! That was what-I\nwas saying to myself as I floundered\nthrough tlie snow in that ever-to he-\ndetested German forest. What had\npossessed me that I should have fled\nfrom homo\u00E2\u0080\u0094that I should have turned\nmy back upon Christmas joys, somewhat tame it is true, but still safe and\nsecure in their Mature\u00E2\u0080\u0094in order to embark on a walking tour iu the middle of\nthe German Empire! I must have\nbeen mad, I think; however, here I\nwas, and the question was, how was I\nto get out of it? \"Oh!\" said I to myself, with the bitterness of despair,\n\"if I ever find my way out of Ahis\nabominable pine-forest\u00E2\u0080\u0094if ever I return\nalive, uneaten by wolves, and unstarved\nand unfrozen to death\u00E2\u0080\u0094to the haunts\nof civilization, then good-bye walking-\ntours for ever! I will nofer\u00E2\u0080\u0094never-\nnever\u00E2\u0080\u0094 h\nHush! what is that? Just as j was\nregistering these mental vows, with a\nfurious energy -bom of my despair, to\nijnyself, a strange sound struck upon\nany ears\u00E2\u0080\u0094a small, piteous cry, uttered\nfrom the density of the pine-stems in\nfront of me. A shudder struck through\nmy veins. Was it a wolff I stood\nstill and listened. There it was again,\nright i\u00C2\u00BB front of me. No, surely that\nWas not the cry of an animal, it was too\npitiful and too human for that; it\nsounded rather like the wail of a woman or a child. I pressed forward\nhurriedly through tho floury snow,\nwhich fortunately in that dead stillness\nhad not drifted, but lay flat and smooth\nat a uniform depth of about six inches.\n\"Well,\" I said to myself, with a\ngroan, \"if I come upon another lost\nwanderer from the high road, and that\na half-starved woman or child, X shall\ncertainly have had the bad luck materially to increase my present difli-\neultiesl\"\nA moment later I came in view of a\nnew and unaccustomed object. A\nsmall boy sat in the middle of tho\nwilderness, crying lustily. His back\nwas turned towards me; a red worsted\ncomforter was wound a great many\ntimes round his neck, and his elbows\nwere elevated into an attitude which\nindicated that his fists were well rammed into his eyes.\nHere was my starved child! Should\nI have to divide my last biscuit with\nhim, and give up the half-dozen drops\nof brandy at the bottom of my llask,\nhi order to save this unknown baby\nfrom an early grave 1 I came nearer;\nmy heart rose. He was crying\u00E2\u0080\u0094nay,\nhowling vigorously; but surely my\nworst feai-3 might vanish. Ho was\ncertainly not starving. So fat a child\nI have never, I think, had the pleasure\nof encountering either beforo or after.\nHo was literally as broad as ho was\nlong; his back presented a wide and\ntightly - stretched surface of brown\nmerino; his legs stuck out, strong as\nyoung ptjl!.\rds, bare and red before\nhim; his fists were like a couple of\ndumplings; and when ho turned his\nround, red, chubby face in amazement\nup to mine, his small, snobby features\nwere almost lost iu tho puddings of\nfat in which they were embedded. I\nregret to state that, with the consciousness of that ono biscuit and those six\ndrops of brandy that were left in my\nwallet, I felt in a more charitable\nframe of mind towards that howling\nInfant by reason of the corpulence and\ntho well-fed look of him.\n\"Hallo !*'\u00E2\u0080\u0094an Englishman always\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ays hallo in moments of embarrassment.\nThe urchin left off crying, and looked\nnp at me with an expression of rapt\nawe.\n\"Are you Sant Clam)'' he inquired\nin German.\nI was a goud Gorman scholar, my-\nself, so I had no difficulty in conversing with him.\n\"No; who the mischief is he?\" I\nsaid, half laughing. \"What is your\nname, my young friend Y*\n(iFritz.\"\nNow Fritz is not a distinctive name.\nThere aro certainly as many Frits.es in\nGermany as there were pine-trees in\nthat horrible forest. The answer did\nnot impart much information. I proceeded to question hi nn\n\"Are you hungry f\n\"No.\"\n\"Aro you cold?\"\n\"No.'r\n\"Have ynu lost your w&y ?\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'\n\"Oh, hoi\" \"Then you must live\nsomewhere. Where do ynu live ?'v\nTho child gave a comprehensive\nwave of- his fat hand that seemed to\ninclude all four points of tho compass\nin its sweep.\n\"Over\"there*!'1 ho said, vaguely\n\"Is it far from* her* ?\" I inquired,?\neagerly.\n\"No; quite close.\nMy heart gave a great bound of re-\nltef and delight.\n\"Then' for Heaven's sake take mo\nthere ai once;-' I cried, \"for I htive\nlost my w\u00C2\u00BBy in'thls detestable forest!\nI don't know where togofof a night's\nshelter, and I have had nothing to eat'\nfor twenty-four hourt, and J am perishing with cold and fatigue, '\u00E2\u0096\u00A0' X poured\nforth my little'stefry breathlessly. 'All\nat once this small child had becqme,\nnot a burden, but a means of salvatiuh\nto me. I stretched forth my hand and\ntook hold of the fat, pudgy fist. \"Take\nme there, little Fritz, at once; and get\nme-fuod, and shelter, and warmth, for\n'the love of Heaven!\"\nThe boy seemed to understand; he\nrose, or rather tumbled up, upon his\nfeet, and keeping hold of my hand,\ntrotted on .iierrmy:by n.y side In and\nout of the '.trees hi a wonderful way,\nfirst Ho'f he \"right, then to the left, in a\nttienher which left no doubt as to his\nbeing porfectly 'at home, and able tu\nfind his way amongst the monotony of\ntheir apparently endless sameness. To\nme they wero fac-siuiilies of each other;\nhundreds and thousands of straight\nshafts, as alike each other as shelled\npeas; but Fritz, evidently by some\nmysterious power, was able to discriminate amongst them, and could discern\nevery tree'from its neighbor.\n'' What were you crying for ?\" I asked\npresently, for the sake of something\nto say.\n\"Because of not finding any red\nberries for Sant Claus,\" answered tho\nchild. \"The snow in too thick, and I\nhave no'berries for to-morrow!\"\n\"Why do you want berries to-morrow? and who is this Claus whom\nyou took ine for?\" I asked, faintly interested.\n\"DotiH ycm^kimw that to-morrow is\nChristmas-eve, and that Sant Claus is\nthe patron saint of Christmas; and if\nI have no rod berries to hang up, then\nSant Claus will not bring any presents\nbh Christinas morning?\"\n\"No, I never heard all that,*' I\nanswered.\n\"Thou what a dunce you must be!:\nreplied Fritz, with conviction.\nI 'laughed.\n\"T>0 yon want presents so very\nintUch, little Fritz!\" I aiikfetl, thinking\nto -myself how gladly I would supply\nthe place of the capricious saint, whose\nfavors had to be won through red\nberries, to my little guide, who had\nhelped mo in my great trouble.\n\"Oh! it is not for myself for whom\nI want tho presents; it is for poor\nNella, who cannot get berries for herself.\"\n\"And Nella is your little sister, I\nsuppose ?\"\n\"Oh! no; she is not little at all; and\nshe is not my sister.\"\n\"No? What tShcn \u00E2\u0080\u0094 your cousin\nperhaps ?\"\n\"No; poor Nella is not a child, alio\nis quite big.\"\n\"Why do you call her .poor?\" I\nasked.\nThe boy put his finger up and pressed\nit to his lips.\n\"I must net say,\" he answered,\nrather oddly. \"Perhaps you will see\nher; but you cannot speak to her; she\nwill not understand you.\"\n\"She is not German, then, nor\nEnglish? But there are other languages, little Fritz, and possibly 1 may\nbe able to find the one that your poor,\nbig Nella speaks.\"\n\"Nella speaks no language,\" was\nthis odd little boy's most singular rejoinder; \"and if you try, he will be\nangry.\"\n\"Whois/iei\"\n\"You will sec,\" said Fritz, mysteriously.\nIn spit* of my hunger and my\nfatigue, I own that I began to feel\ncurious.\nI now looked about for the cottage\nto which I imagined my small friend\nwas leading me. Jty his apparel and\nmanners t judged him to be some\nwoodcutter's child of slightly superior\neducation to his fellows. Perhaps his\nfather was a self-taught genius, and\nhad imparted to little Fritz Ms shrewd\nand intelligent way of talking. I expected nothing more, therefore, than\na woodman's cottage, or at most a\nsmall farmstead, and felt thankful in-\nneed for the hope of shelter at either.\nImagine, then, what was my amazement when, in \u00C2\u00AB clearing in the woods,\na large gray stone building suddenly\ncame into view, about the height and\ndimensions of a club-house in Pall\nMall! Anywhere it would have been\na fine large house, but here amongst\nthe desolate wastes of tlie pine-forests\nit became a palace. I stopped aghast!\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094amazed! -breathless! Was I tho\nvictim of some delusion\u00E2\u0080\u0094some hallucination ? I could hardly believe my\neyes.\n\"This is where we hvs,\" said Fritz,\nsimply, by my side.\n\"This!\" I gasped. \"Why, it is a\npalace!\"\n\"My grandfather is the Count of\nErrenholt,\" said the fat child, with a\nsort of dignity that was amusing from\nsuch a source, \"and this is' tiis Schloss.\"\nWe drew nearer to the Schioss,\" as\nFritz called it; and I was so astonished\nat finding so large a house planted in\nthe very midst of this wild and desolate land, I almost forgot how tired\na.id hungry I was.\nI observed, however, as I approached\nthat the castle, though large, was by\nno means in good repair; one end of\nit, in fact, being absolutory in ruins,\nand many of the windows of tho side\nwhich seemed to be inhabited wero\nblocked up by rough boards nailed\nacross their gaping apertures. There\nwore plenty of evidences of past grandeur in tho heavy carved stone mul-\nlions and the many stacks of gray\nchimneys'; but there were also abundant evidences of present poverty.\nThere was no appearance of garden or\nplcpsure grounds of any kind about\nthe house; the gray walls rose straight\nand bare out of the carpet of unbroken\nsnow that surrounded them; there\nwas not even a swept clearing about\nthe heavily-carved oaken door; tho\nsnow had beaten itself up upon the\nvery doorstep. This imparted a chill\nsensation of inhnspitality to the fine\nold mansion. I felt instinctively that\nthere would be no warm welcome for\na wayfarer nere.\nFritz stretched himsolf up on his\nlittle toes, and lifted the heavy iron\nknocker with ait his strength. A\nshuffling of feet' inside, a creaking of\nbars and' bolts,- and the door opened\ncautiously, and a very old\" and evil-\nfaced man appeared in the doorway.,\nH*o spoke to Fritz in si patpis which I\ncould not understand, and looked at\nine with evident suspicion. Little\nFritz Was not minded to abandon tho\ncause of tho. lost traveller lie had rescued. Heedless of the old servant's,\ngrumbling objections, he took hold of\nmy hand once more, , . ., \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0',\n\"Com*;\" he said, \"and I willlend\nyou to my grandfather, the Herr\nGraf.\"\n(To tn) MtmtitndO\nT.
