but they cannot make you a picture of a great church. As for me, I was but once in Beauvais
If I could but remember what it was that I ate there for my lunch that would be something. For I am considering the case of Monsieur Désiré Windal; I want that which the novelists call local colour, so that I may have full, enjoyment of the story which my newspaper had cut down to a matter of thirty words. Yet the Encyclopædia gives mie this:-Market gardening flourishes in the vicinity, and an extensive trade is carted on in grain and wine."
The market gardeners are, I feel sure blameless as market gardeners should be. A man can not go on rising young carrots, thinning out spring onions, and cutting the tender lettuce, without becoming partakerof the innocence of these innocent things. For the matter of that, I would not say that a man might not keep his honesty while carrying on an extensive trade in grain. But wine--M. Désiré had been extensively' trad- ing in wine.
There again, you will, tell me. how Mr. Ruskin's father dealt int sherry, and how on his tombstone, we have the son's words that the father was an Entirely Honest Merchant. It may be so; I count
runong my friends at least one wine-merchant who is entirely bonest. You may name others to me. Yet we shall agree in saying that there are Ellis 4MI-do not put my faith in all-the naughty doings in the wine trade;

Only those who suffer from piles know the misery it brings! It robs life of its pleasures, steals the bright- ness from existence, and substitutes days of dull pain and periods of acute agony.
