boat below him. Observe, also, the stout party who has called for
brandy-and-water, and whose countenance almost lapses into a smile as
"Kellner" approaches with the beverage. The tutor, it is pleasant to
see, has at last put his "Classic" in his pocket, and gives himself up
to the undivided enjoyment of the scene, while his "young charge" is
wrapped in contemplation of mechanical science as exemplified in the
structure of the wheel. And that must surely be the gent who has such a
low opinion of the beauty of the Rhine-land, seated at the stern of the
boat with his legs dangling over the river. Let us hope that he is happy

THE ENGLISH "MILORD" UPON THE RHINE.
How happy he looks! He dislikes the hum of men, and sits all day shut up
in his carriage reading the literature of his country. How rude of those

The dog having outstripped the populace, proceeds to eat the sausage.
Having done so, he looks stouter than he did, and is inclined to rest.
The inhabitants, eager for vengeance, surround him, but are kept at bay
by the expression of his countenance.
One burly peasant having the hardihood to approach too near, he is made

[THE RHINE.]
Brown, with noble perseverance, sits upon the paddle-box, regardless of
the storm, and sketches the castles and towns, as the steam-boat passes
