WITHIN AN ACE. A hot summer's Gay was drawing to its close, and Ube sultry stagnant air was stirred with thé faintest possible breeze as I sat on the Rhine Quay at Cologne, waiting for the arrival of the steamer for Rotterdam. Not that I was gotng to Rotter- dam, but to Dordreent, a quaint old Netherlandish tows, where Iexpected to join my mother and sister. The latter had been sketching all the summer among the old towns of Hollad; she has an @pthusiagm that is hardiy shared vy her brother, who had deserted the sketching party and taken a line of bisown, leading him up the Rhine, and thrdugh the recesses of the Black Porest. The Rhine boat wad late, hours late—a thing I had ne reason to grumble at, for my train had also deen an hour OF Se late, ahd Mad the boat been punctual I should have ‘missed it, and there was Ro hardship in Waiting.
