They are a solitary poop o. pursuing their

never seeking to change their manners and modes of living. never assioiilatiug themselves to the relinmcnts. the religion. or the culture ureuull thciu. Some say they never go to Mass. and all their bap- tisms (ii any) and their marriages are set- tlcd by laws 01 their own. At all events. wtbey marry only among themselves; the reason. perhaps. being. that to the rest of the community they urepariahsuvilh whmu a man would be ashamed to connect him- self. Awhli tales have reached my ears of the savagery of the charcoal-hilrnei's.

" Their children are as untaught and wild as young wolves.“ saidonc. “ ’l‘hey attend no school. they go to no church." " 'l‘hcil' dwellings are foul with smoke and dirt." ci'icil nuotllcr. “ No doors, no windows, no chimney, and as to water. they can't understand the use of it. in loot, they live like savages.“

" llul they must. come to market some- times," 1 observed mildly. "And they must hiiy clothes.”

" Clothes? 1 don‘t think the little ones in the hats trouble [helllsclvos much with clothes. And as to provisions. they are brought from the villages as seldom as possible; then usually one of their men comes with ii cart and pony, and procuvcs enough for all."

" And why do they live such it strange lite? luskei . H i don‘t know. They have always done it. They lived like that hundreds of years ago, and they live so still.“

This was the answcrl invariably received. No one scclucd to possess any dccpci- knowledge; so 1 was fain to put up with the scam information lcouli get. Aiid. indccd, tiis is all I know of the charcoal- llui'ncl's to this day. for their bills lay so far in the recesses of the forests. thatl never found thus to pay them a visit. and prove. by tile evidence 01 my own senses, whether the strange tales told lilo ol‘ their savage lives were too highly colored or

not.

1 could fancy that in the lonly ginilcs of that great wooded belt. which stretches into the Black Forest. a race of men might rrew savage. And [hiding - themselves ilcspised and shunned. they might learn, on their side. to conlcmii the civilization and the religion of those who adorned them. But would this make them wicked? Surn- ly, in the green. quiet clolstcrs oi the wood, in the long, lealynsvos of this great loin- plo, in its shadowy sud arched chair. the human soul was more attuned to worship the hel and the purolhau lathe festering city, w icro sin walks unabashed, lnsolcut. shew , and loud.
