Poems of Therese: Translated From the German

Excerpt from Poems of ThereseIt has never seemed worth while to in quire too closely as to the exact nature and functions of that much respected oficial, a kanzlei-rath. The title has a commanding sound which fiatters the mind with suggestions of one high in the coun sels of the State. And if, practically, the omce would appear to involve no duties more onerous than a daily stroll to the town, or a jaunt in a very cumbersome ofiicial vehicle through an idyllic land scape, this circumstance tallies well with the accepted fact that the exactions of a given calling are frequently in inverse ratio to its emoluments.
