first-mentioned trunk a white pocket handkerchief--an exemplary one, that had gone through four Sundays' show, (not _use_, be it understood,) and yet was capable of exhibition again. A pair of sky-colored kid gloves next made their appearance: which, however, showed such barefaced marks of former service as rendered indispensable a ten minutes' rubbing with bread-crumbs. His Sunday hat, carefully covered with silver-paper, was next gently removed from its well-worn box--ah, how lightly and delicately did he pass his smoothing hand round its glossy surface! Lastly, he took down a thin black cane, with a gilt head, and full brown tassel, from a peg behind the door--and his toilet was complete. Laying down his cane for a moment, he passed his hands again through his hair, arranging it so as to fall nicely on each side beneath his hat, which he then placed upon his head, with an elegant inclination towards the left side. He was really not bad-looking, in spite of his sandy-colored hair. His forehead, to be sure, was contracted, and his eyes were of a very light color, and a trifle too protuberant; but his mouth was rather well-formed, and being seldom closed, exhibited very beautiful teeth; and his nose was of that description which generally passes for a Roman nose. His countenance wore generally a smile, and was expressive of--self-satisfaction: and surely any expression is better than none at all. As for there being the slightest trace of _intellect_ in it, I should be misleading the reader if I were to say anything of the sort. In height, he was about five feet and a quarter of an inch, _in his boots_, and he was rather strongly set, with a little tendency to round shoulders:--but his limbs were pliant, and his motions nimble.
