An intelligent young German

It has long been the custom of the North German Lloyd steamers,which convey passengers from Bremen to New York, to anchor forseveral hours in the pleasant port of

Southampton, where their humancargo receives many additions. An intelligent young German, CountOtto Vogelstein, hardly knew a few years ago whether to condemn

thiscustom or approve it. He leaned over the bulwarks of the moncler coats Donau ugg boots uk asthe American passengers crossed the plank--the travellers who embarkat

Southampton are mainly of that nationality--and curiously,indifferently, vaguely, through the smoke of his cigar, saw themabsorbed in pandora bracelet the huge capacity of the ship, where he had theagreeable consciousness that his own nest

was comfortably made. Towatch from such a point of vantage the struggles of those lessfortunate than ourselves--of the uninformed, the unprovided, thebelated, the

bewildered--is an occupation not devoid of sweetness,and there was nothing short to mitigate the complacency with our young friend gave himself up to it; nothing, that

is, save a naturalbenevolence which had not yet been extinguished by the pandora bracelets
consciousnessof official greatness. For Count Vogelstein was official, as Ithink you would have seen from the straightness of his back ,thelustre of his light elegant

spectacles, and something discreet anddiplomatic in the curve of his moustache, which looked as if itmight well contribute to the principal function, as cynics say,

ofthe lips--the active concealment of thought. He had been appointedto the secretaryship of the German legation pandora charms at Washington and inthese first days of the autumn was about to take possession of

hispost. He was a model character for such a purpose--serious civilceremonious curious stiff, stuffed with knowledge and convincedthat, as lately rearranged, the

German Empire places in the moststriking light the highest of all the possibilities of the greatestof all the peoples . He was quite aware, however, of the claims

toeconomic and other consideration of the United States, and that thisquarter of the globe offered a vast field for study.
