HESE words of the oom- mander had a great effect upon me, My weak point was touched, and I fotgot, . for a moment, that the con+ ’ of these sublime subjecta ty 5 got worth the lose of liberty. Be- " ‘1 trusted to the future to de- <@ide this grave question. 80 I con- tented myself with saying: _, “By what name ought I to address ur” “gir,” replied the commander, “I Y nothing to you but Capt. Nemo; yOu and your companions are ing to me but the passengers of the Nautilus.” pt. Nemo called, A steward ap- leases. The Captain gave him his orders in that strange language which f Bi@id not understand. Then, turning | “tbward the Canadian and Conseil: “A repast awaits you im your Cabin,” suid he. “Be so good as to follow this man.” ‘And now, M.

For a fow moments he paced up and down, much agitated, Then he be- me mofe calm, regained his uccus- ned coldness of oxpression, and, turning toward me: “Now, Professor,” sald he, “i you wish to go over the Nautilus, I am at your service, Capt, Nemo rose. I followed him. A double door, contrived at the back of tho dining room, opened, and I entered @ room equal in dimensions to that which 1 bad just quitted. It was a@ library. Hi pieces of furniture, of black violet ebony inlaid with brass, supported upon their wide shelves a great number of books unl- formly bound, They followed the shape of the room, terminating at the lower part In huge divans, cov- ered wittt brown leather, which were }o afford the greatest com- fort, ht movable desks, made to alide tn and out at will, allowed one to rest one’s book while reading.

I looked with real ad miration at this room, so ingeniously fitted up, and | could scarcely belicve yes. pt. emo,” said I to my host, who had just thrown himaelf on on of the divans, “this is a library which would do honor to more than one of the continental palaces, and I am absolutely astonished when I consider that it can follow you to the boitom of the seas.” “Where could one find greater soll- tude or silence, Professor?” replied Capt. Ne “Did your study in the Musedm afford you such perfect quiet?” “No, alt; and I must confess that it 1e @ very poor one after yours. You must havo six or seven thousand vol- umes here.” “Twelve thousand, M. Aronnax, These are the only ties which bind me to the earth.

I thani Capt. Nemo, and went up to the shelves of the library, Works on acience, morals and literature abounded in avery language; but 1 did Rot wee one single work on political economy; that eubject appeared to be strictly proscribed, . “Bir,” ald I to the captain, “I thank you for having placed this Ubrary at my disposal. It contains treasures of ecience, by ye sd “Pais room ta not only @ library, paid Capt, Nemo, “it ts aleo & smok- ‘ng room, Ex ‘emoking room!" I cried, “Then one may amoke on board?" “Cer- tainly, “Then, sir, I am forced to belteve that you have kept up @ communi- cation with Havannah,” “Not any,” answered the captain. “Accept this cigur, M. Aronnax; and though it does not come from Havan- nah, you will be pleased with it if are a connoisseur.” 1 took the eigar which was offercd me; its shape recalled the London ones, but it seemed to be made of leaves of gold, I lighted it at a little brazier, whioh was supported upon an elegant bronze stem, and drew the firat whiff with the delight of a lover of smoking who has not smoked for two days, eattent,” eald I, “but it ts win not tobacco." “No!” answered the captain, “this tobacco comes neither from Havan- nah nor from the East, It lp a kind of seaweed, rich in nicotine, with which the sea provides me, but some- what sparingly,” At that moment Capt. Nemo opened by which I had entered the library, And I passed into an immense draw- ing room, splendidly lighted, It was @ vast fo ded room, and I ehall profit roo! a door which stood opposite to that 80 feet long, 18 wide, 15 high. A luminous ceiling, decorated with light Aradesques, shed a soft clear light over all the marvels accumulated in this musoum. For it was in fact @ museum, in which an intelligent and Prodigal hand had gathered all the treasures of nature and art, with the artistic confusion which distinguishes & painter's atudio. Thirty first-rate pictures, uniformly framed, separated by bright drapery, ornamented the walls, whigh were hung with tapestry of severe deaign. 1 saw works of great value, the freater part of which I bad admired in tho special collections of Europe, and in the exhibitions of paintings. The several schools of the old masters were represented by a Madonna of Raphael, a Viggin of Leonardo of TI 5 an Assumpuon of Murti of Holbein, a monk of martyr of Ribeira, a fair of @ portrait juez, a ubens, two Flemish landcapes of Tonters, three little “genre” pictures of Gerard Dow, Metsu and Paul Potter, two apecimens of Gericault and Prudhon and some sea pieves of Backhuysen and Vernet. Among the works of modern painters were pictures with the signa- tures of Delactoix, Ingres, Decamp, Troyon, Meissonnier, Daubigny, &c.; and some admirable statues in marb! and bronze, after the finest antique models, stood upon pedestals in the corners of this magnificent museum, Amazement, as the Captain of the Nautilus had predic! had already begun to take possession me, “Professor,” said this strange man, “you must excuse the unceremenious way in which | receive you, and the disorder of this room.” to know who you are, | recogniae in you an artist.” “An amateur, nothing more, Formerly I loved to collect these Deautitul works created by the hand of man. 1 sought them greedily and ferreted them out incefatigably, and [ have been able to bring together some objects of great value.

Nemo, “are the contemporaries of Orpheus, for in the memory of the dead all chronological differences are faced, much who al earth! Capt, Nemo was silent and seemed lost in a profound revery. I contem plated him with deep Interest, an- Blyzing in ailence the sion of his countenanc Leaning his elbow against an angle of a costly mosale table, he no longer saw mo he had forgotten my presence, I did not disturb this revery continued my observation of the cur! onities which enriched this drawing sir, and I am dead, professor; as ead as those of your friends sleoping feet under the m, Under the elegant glass cases, fixed by copper rivets, were classed and labelled the most precious productions of the sea which had ever been pre- ented to the eye of a naturalist Apart, in separate compartments, were spread out chaplets of pearls of the greatest beauty, which reflected the electric Hght in little sparks of fire; pink pearis, torn from the pinna marina of the Red Sea; green px of the hallotyde tris; yellow, blue an black pearls, Capt. Nemo must have expended millions in the acquirement of these various specimens. “You are examining my shells, pro feapor? Unquestionably they must be interesting to a naturalist; but for ine they have a far greater charm, for I have collected them all with my own hand, and there 1s not a sea on the face of the globe which has escaped my reaearches.” I followed Capt, Nemo, who, by one of the doors opening from each panel of the drawing-room, regained the waist, He conducted me toward the bow, and there I found, not @ cabin, but an elegant room, with @ bed, Greasing-table and several other pieces of furniture, “Your room adjoins mine,” said he, opening a door, “and mine opens into the drawing-room that we have just quitted.” Tantered the Captain's room: tt had a severe, almost a monkish aspect.
