, on one side of which
is the word MUCRO ('a sword'), and on the other PAULUS ... CAPITE." Can
anything be more convincing?

_Paul_ (_The Second St._). St[TN-73] Remi or _Remigius_, "The Great
Apostle of the French." He was made bishop of Rheims when only 22 years
old. It was St[TN-73] Remi who baptized Clovis, and told him that
henceforth he must worship what he hitherto had hated, and abjure what
he had hitherto adored (439-535).

[Asterism] The cruse employed by St. Remi in the baptism of Clovis was
used through the French monarchy in the anointing of all the kings.

=Paul Pry=, an idle, inquisitive, meddlesome fellow, who has no occupation
of his own, and is forever poking his nose into other people's affairs.
He always comes in with the apology, "I hope I don't intrude."--John
Poole, _Paul Pry_.

Thomas Hill, familiarly called "Tommy Hill," was the original of this
character, and also of "Gilbert Gurney," by Theodore Hook. Planch['e] says
of Thomas Hill:

His _specialit['e]_ was the accurate information he could impart on
all the petty details of the domestic economy of his friends, the
contents of their wardrobes, their pantries, the number of pots of
preserves in their store-closets, and of the table-napkins in their
linen-presses, the dates of their births and marriages, the amounts
of their tradesmen's bills, and whether paid weekly or quarterly.
He had been on the press, and was connected with the _Morning
Chronicle_. He used to drive Mathews crazy by ferreting out his
whereabouts when he left London, and popping the information into
some paper.--_Recollections_, i. 131-2.

=Paul Rushleigh=, son of a wealthy manufacturer, and in love from boyhood
with Faith Gartney. She can give him only sisterly affection in return,
but her refusal makes a man of the boy. Ten years afterwards, as General
Rushleigh, a noble, high-minded patriot, he meets Margaret Regis and
marries her.--A. D. T. Whitney, _Sights and Insights_ (1876).

=Pauletti= (_the Lady Erminia_), ward of Master George Heriot, the king's
goldsmith.--Sir W. Scott, _The Fortunes of Nigel_ (time, James I.).

=Pauli'na=, the noble-spirited wife of Antig'onus, a Sicilian lord, and
the kind friend of Queen Hermi'on[^e]. When Hermion[^e] gave birth in
prison to a daughter, Paulina undertook to present it to King
Leont[^e]s, hoping that his heart would be softened at the sight of his
infant daughter
