Ferthis reason, these savings were sacred to him. He considered them as a deposit which the Old professor Of penmanship had entrusted to the hands Of the public writer. It was very painful to him not to be able to add the interest to the capital. Even if his Office had been richly furnished, or in a better location, it is most prob able that the upright Ternisien would not have realized profits in proportion to his labors.
