THE never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of flout and Rheumatism have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica pains in the head or face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has aide nished all who have taken it, and there is net a city, town, or vil. lags in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence. The following recent case, selected frAn among these with which the proprietor has been favoured, is submitted to the public:— TO MR !MOUT, f. 28, STRAND. Hurst. Sussex, Nov. a, 1843.

The second day he was able to walk without his crutches. and en the fourth riay was completely cured and able to perform his ordinary occupation. Previous to this he was generally laid up every year for several , eeks, after leeche and fomentations had been applied, and medicine taken to no purpose.

Late on Saturday evening Sir Frederick Pollock received an official intimation of his appointment to the office of Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer • Sir William Follett of his appointment to be Attorney-General; and Mr. Thesiger of his appointment to be Solicitor. General. The first.two of the above announcements . have long been anticipated as almost 'natters of course, but the last has oc casioned very anxious consideration to the Government.. While fully recognising the eminent qualifications of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly for the important office of Solicitor-General, it was found 'impossible to overlook the seniority, both at the bar, and as one of her Majesty's counsel, of Mr. Thesiger, who hail, moreover, been already twice passed over in the elevation of Sir William Follett to the post which he has just quitted, and of Mr. Justice . Cresswell to a seat' . on the bench of the Common . Pleas. Mr. Thesiger was called to the bar in the year 1818, and Mr. Kelly. not till the year 1824, and Mr. Thesiger obtained a silk gown so long before Mr. Kelly that no fewer than 17 gentlemen obtained that distinction between Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Under these, circumstances the Government were na turaily anxious to - avoid so signal a slight upon Mr. Thesiger as would have been inflicted lupon him by the appointment. of Mr. Kelly. This, we believe, is the consideratitin which determined the choice of the Government. It is not, more• over, difficult to imagine that, knowing that Mr. Kelly had been retained on behalf of Mr. O'Connell and his fellow tra versers to conduct the proceedings about to take place in the House of Lords as their leading counsel, Ministers would feel a great delicacy in depriving them of .such invaluable assis tance as that of Mr. Kelly. This must inevitably have been the.case had Mr. Kelly been promoted to - the Solicitor-Ge neralship.' (From the 3foriain g .Chroniele.) The Solicitor-Generalship has been conferred upon Mr. Thesiger. We cannot flatter him, or those who have ap pointed him s by saying that, in our opinion, he is likely to make an efficient law officer. As a'lawyer no one can com pare him with Mr. Kelly. It does Sir Robert Peel, there fore, more honour that he has refused to consent to the ap pointment of the latter. We hare stated our unequivocal objections to the appointrrient of Mr. Kelly; and we feel a pleasure, therefore, in acknowledging the merit of overlook ing all inducements of expediency, in comparison with the higher considerations that rendered that appointment Mad missible. We understand that Sir Frederick Pollock will be sworn in as Chief Baron to-clay. The new writs for Hun tingdon, Exeter, and Woodstock will, we presume, be moved to-night. (From the Times.) The elevation of Sir Frederick Pollock to the Chief Barony of the Exchequer may new be spoken of as a fait accompli, and the consequent appointment of Sir William Follett and Mr. Thesiger to the respective offices of Attorney and Soli citor-General as equally certain. In this distribution of legal patronage—as far at least as regards the two first mentioned gentlemen—there is hardly anything to astonish, certainly nothing whatever to offend, the public mind. The long, laborious, and successful career of Sir F. Pollock at the bar, his affable demeanour, his popularity with the profession, and, above all, the judicial character of his mind, have for some time past confirmed those claims to high pro motion which the usual routine of succession might Justify any Attorney-General in preferring. Nor do we suppose that any man, of whatever party, will express other senti silents than those of satisfaction at seeing the office which was filled by Sir Frederick Pollock bestowed on one whose erudition and varied attainments were early re warded with a celebrity which has often been denied to the incessant labours of a long life. If any emotion of a different nature mingles itself with the feelings, not only of lawyers, but of the public, it can only be one.of regret, sincere and general,- for the ill-health which must for some little' time prevent the most distinguished advocate and most accom plished lawyer of his day from entering on the active per formance of his new duties, and perhaps render his prolonged tenure of office uncertain. We cannot dismiss this subject without expressing a wish, apparently more personal than politiCal in its bearings, but from which we are anxious to separate every personal consideration.' It 'has become, we believe, of late years, pretty much a matter of course to offer . the dignity of the Peerage to the chiefs of the three Courts at Westminster. Nor have there been many instances of such a dignity being refused. The present venerable Chief Justice of the Common Pleas has exhibited a peculiar and exceptional prudence in declining to accept the questionable and unprofitable honour. We hope that his example, at once so rare and so sensible, will be imitated by the new Chief Baron. 'We are not making objections—nor do we think that there exist solidreasons for objecting—to the tenure of seats in the House of Lords by the superior Judges of the land. On the contrary, we are ready to admit that, on some occasions, the Upper House might derive considerable benefit, both in its legislative and its judicial capacity, from the assistance of the Judges; and that, so far, it is a salu tary and proper exercise of the prerogative to raise the chiefs of the Queen's Bench, Exchequer, or Common Pleas to the rank of Peers. But when it is borne in mind that the Peer. ages thus conferred are not for life only, but hereditary; that the Legislature in this way not only receives the benefit of a learned judge's permanent assistance during his lifetime, but is also illumined by a succession of sons and sons' sons after him ;`the. propriety of Conferring' stich an honour, and the prudence of accepting it, appear equally ambiguous. We hold it to be a sound constitutional principle, that as. least the majority of the Peerage should consist of men secured by the competency of their fortunes from the temptations of ginisterial dependence—men with ample estates, unembar rassed means, and independent principles. When a Peerage is poor, it must become servile; where servile, contemptible; sod from contempt there is but one step to annihilation. For this reason we should feel disposed to restrict—except on some very peculiar occasions—the dignity of the Upper House to those whose fortunes would enable them to transmit it without compromise or qualification to their 'posterity. Ex captions in favour of high desert and brilliant services will, of course, occur; but such exceptions are by their very na ture too rare to justify the present universal fashion of making law Lords. Besides this, in the case of extraordinary diplo matic or military services, the Legislature always anticipates the miseries of a poor peerage by conferring a pension for two or three lives. Even this indeed is rather an acknow ledgment than a remedy of a great evil. It serves only to stave off for a generation or two that most wretched of com plications—the union of rank and indigence, .pride and po vertyspretension and starvation. It keeps two Peers on short commons, and.then starves the third outright. However, in sufficient as this systernis towards supporting in decency these whom it elevates to dignities, it is better, or at any rate less objectionable primal fade, than the universal creation of law Peers. The latter transmit no pensions with their titles. All that they can leave their successors is what they have saved - themselves from their professional earnings, often during the last years of their lives; :sufficient, for the most part, to maintain the respectable station of a private gentle man, but wholly inadequate to meet the expenses of an in dependent and hereditary senator. We have already enough of law Lords ; more than enough of law Lords' sons. If iudges go on accepting peerages at the rate they have done for the last fourteen or fifteen years, we shall have a respect.. able proportion of "new peers" (as Lord Brougham, with patrician superciliousness styles them) running about iu a vain attempt to establish a settlement in St. Clement's Danes, by proving an ancestral connexion with Old-square or King's Bench-walk. We therefore trust that Sir Frederick Pollock's fatherly care for the welfare of the profession will induce him to set the profitable example of declining a dignity which in some cases has been ruinous, and in all is barren. • The letters and dispatches of the immortal Nelson are at length about to be collected and published, in a form corresponding with Colonel Gurwood's celebrated work, " The Wellington Dispatches." The task has been undertaken by a gentleman, Sir Harris Nicolas, whose previous publications are strong evidence of his fitness ; indeed, we should have some difficulty in fixing upon one better calculated, from talents and industry, to accomplish the object ; and we therefore appeal to all who are in possession of letters and other documents, to come forward and assist Sir Harris in the completion of a work of such vast national importance. —Naval and Military Gazette. THE - WILFULNESS or WOMAN.—A most clever and original picture of society has just been exhibited in the novel publiahed under the title of " The Wilful ness of Woman," from the pen of the accomplished authoress of " The History of a Flirt" and " The Ma noeuvring Mother," which for distinct portraiture of characters belonging to the higher circles of the present day, and deep and genuine interest, has claims upon the attention of the novel reader that have not been put forth in works of this nature for some years past. The prin cipal object of the writer has been to pourtray the woman of high spirit and extraordinary endowments suffering under the evil influence of an undisciplined mind, and in a story of unusual power and unaffected pathos, she is made the victim of that self-will by • which so many admirable natures are led astray, till by the natural course of events she is forced into a more just appreciation of what is most conducive to her own hap piness. The characters of the erring Harriet Tre 'awney, the wayward Sidney Monteith, the gruff Dr. Meadows, and the hospitable and love-sick Lady of Cagle Donald, are undoubted originals ; and the frame work in which they and other striking groups are brought before the public is worthy of the genius those able portraits so conspicuously display. THE WEATHER.—On Friday evening the fine, - dry, genial weather, which had prevailed for upwards of a fort night, underwent a change.. During the day the atmosphere was chilly, with a fresh breeze from about S.S.E. Shortly after six o'clock in the evening the sky became overcast, and rain commenced failing, but not hemily, until about eight o',clock, when it fell iu torrents for about four hours, and -then it ceased. On Siiturday the weather was variable, there • having been alternately rain, showers, and sunshine, with a ' moderate breeze from W.S.W. At noon the thermomet a c t r 4 a 9 Late at the London Doel , s, which on the previous day instotre even. degrees in the shade, had advanced to 52 . • ing there was another heavy fall of rain. On Sunday morn • ing the atmosphere was gloomy, indicating rain, and there • were several light showers during the day. - There was occa•• sional warm sunshine. The weather was milder, the ther mometer, at noon, at the London Docks, having advanced to 56 degrees in the shade. There was a light breeze from about W.N.W. The rains 'which have fallen since Friday have greatly benefited vegetation of every kind. Lieutenant Lord Aberdour, 11th Hussars, sold out of the service on Friday, the sth instant. , • There is a vacancy on the staff of his 'Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by this retirement. •-• • FIRING PLAM'A.TIONS.—During the 'past week the extensive fir plantations belonging to the Croft in the vici nities of Bagshot-park and the Military College, -:at Sand hurst, have been twice fired by incendiaries, to the great alarm and terror of the respective neighbourhoods. Upwards of 14 acres are • completely destroyed, besides considerable damage done to several hundreds of the young trees, which are only partially consumed. A reward of 20 guineas has been offered by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for the discovery and apprehension of the guilty.parties.

LEEUT.-COLONEL FAWCETT AND LIEUTENANT 111UNRO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—having seen in th e p u bli c p r i n ts a l e tter, stated to have been written by Mr. Munro, and ad dressed to Mr. T. Duncombe, M.P., reflecting (as it appears to me) on the character and conduct of my much-lamented nephew, Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett, in the late unfortunat e and melancholy transaction, I have thought it my duty to call upon his amiable and much-injured widow, as being the only person that was present, and consequently cognisant of the cir cumstances, to disclose all that she knows on the subject. I herewith send you her statement, which, .with the accompanying letter to myself, may I beg you will have the kindness to insert in your valuable journal ? I shall make no rerna-k on that statement, but leave it to speak for itself.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, D. K. FAWCETT. Bailinlass House, Ballinaraon Brido, April 10. P.S. The delay in the appearance of this statement has been occasioned by my niece's absence on the Continent, where she was ordered for the benefit of her health. Bailinlass House, April 9, 1844. My dear Sir.—ln conformity with the request you have made me, I now place in your hands a state ment I have drawn up of the-eircumstanees that im mediately precede! that fearful occurrence, which has deprived me of a gallant and fondly-loved hus band, rendering me at the same instant one of the most wretched women now living. I had resolved on voluntarily g , ving no evidence on this wretched subject, or of saying anything likely to increase the crime laid to the charge of my sister's husband, but patience and forbearance will have their limits, and the wishes of my friends must he obeyed. You are, therefore, my dear Sir, at liberty to make what use you please of this statement, in which I have repeated correctly every circumstance that oc curred, to the best of my belief and recollection, not from, any impressions I have since received; and I have every reason to hope and thi n k th a t I h ave not made a single error or omission. Many persons may deem the conversations that passed between my husband and myself of too trivial and light a character for one in my deplorable situa tion to repeat, nor do I make public the few sentences (in my eyes sacred, and- deeply engraven on my me mory) spoken in confidence by my husband, with his well-known candour and openness, without doing great violence to my feelings; but I consider nothing else could half so plainly exhibit the absence of all rancorous feeling towards Lieut. Munro on the part of both my husband and myself. Until now I have constantly regretted the knowledge I had of what was,taking place, but since I have seen the vile and dishonourable imputations thrown upon the memory of my adored husband, I rejoice from my very heart that I am enabled (from personal knowledge of what did pass) to declare those imputations and insinua tions to be utterly false and unfounded, and, as I hope, have proved them to be so; although from the very fact of my having this power, severe comments may be made upon me by those who have never been placed in a similar situation.--I remain, my dear Sir, your very affectionate and dutiful niece, ANNE FRANCES FAWCETT. To Major D . K. Fawcett. On the evening of the 29th of last June, between the hours of eight and nine, Lieutenant Munro called, uninvited and unexpected (as I fully believe) at the house in Sloane-street which Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett and myself had occupied since his return from China, and was shown into the drawing-room, where I was receiving a lesson in singing from a gentleman of the name of Romer, which I proceeded with while Colonel Fawcett and Lieutenant Munro conversed ; and when my lesson was finished, Mr. Romer took leave, although, to the best of my recol lection, I requested him to remain and take tea with us, as he had sometimes done on former occasions, but I think he declined on the plea of suffering from tooth-ache. Affairs were then entered upon, Lieut. Munro commencing the sub;ect. As I was writ ing a note, I did not pay much attention to what ‘s as passing, but it struck me that my husband was rather annoyed. I then made the tea, during which Colonel Fawcett, folding up the papers which were on the table, said, "Well, it can't be helped now ; but I must say Mrs. Smith has bamboozled us both most thoroughly ; though, had I been acting for you, I should most probably have acted as you have done." To which Lieutenant Munro replied, " I tell you what, you have several times insinuated that I mis managed your affairs, and I have attended to your interests as I never did to my own, and I say I will not stand it." My husband observed, " No, Munro, I never said or thought that you mismanaged my affairs." " I say you did." "I did not, Sir: " You did," again rejoined Lieutenant Munro. Colonel Fawcett then rose for the first time, and ringing the bell, said, "A flat contradiction I will take from no man, and, Sir, I must request you will leave my house." " Your house," in a most taunting and sneering manner. " Yes, Sir, my house." Colonel Fawcett then opened the drawing room door, and called out to the maid-servant, who was coming up, "Open the door for Mr. Munro." Lieutenant Munro then said, " I say, you had better tell your servant to shut the door." No, Sir; it shall remain open till you leave," replied my husband. Lieutenant Munro then shut the drawing-room door himself, and returning, sat down and finished his tea, speaking at the same time in strong terms of Colonel Fawcett's want of gratitude, and its being a different return from what he expected. All this time Colonel Fawcett stood with his back to the fire, and did not . walk hurriedly about, as has been stated. Lieutenant Munro then left in an agitated manner, and I said to my husband, " There is an ending to our friendship, but lam sorry he should think you ungrateful for what he has done for us." "So am I," was his reply, " but it was impossible to bear with so gross an in sult." In about five minutes Lieutenant Munro again knocked, and on entering said he had returned, having omitted to wish me good night ; then, turning to my husband, he said he wished him perfectly to under stand that he did not leave the house because he was ordered to do so, for if he pleased he would remain all night. He then asked if Colonel Fawcett perfectly understood him; to which the latter replied, " Per fectly." Lieutenant Munro then said a good deal more about ingratitude, and added, that if it were not for the family connexion, he would fling him neck and heels down his own staircase ; to which Colonel Fawcett replied, with the utmost coolness and self possession, " Pray don't let that prevent you; but this is not the way in which gentlemen usually settle their differences." Ido not think Lieutenant Munro made any reply, but soon after left, slamming the doors violently after him ; and all the time he was in the room he kept his hat on, and swaggered his stick while speaking. I never spoke during the whole time but once, when I remarked, "My husband said, Munro, that had he been acting for you, he would most probably have acted as you did:' When we were alone, my husband said, "What would you have done, Annie, if during my absence Munro had acted in this way in your house, and refused to leave it?" To which I answered, "What are the police for ?" Nothing more was said between us on the subject until the next morning, when we broughtwere at breakfast, about eleven o'clock, acard was to my husband with the na me it, which he handed to m e, saying, Do you ofGr a nt on don't." heard lohfada and d r— M l rs do . n knowh eard who Lieutenant thi s is person called Grant ; it did not then strike me, and I replied, "No, but it is doubtless one of your board ship acquaintances; at any rate, let him be shown up s tairs ' to which Colonel Fawcett object e d, th ere being some coats left upon the drawing-roam table, for which the tailor was to call, but directed the ser vant to show the gent ; le a m od an if th to ev t h h a e d k t back ale talked ati a g r . lo r u il r y , where he joined him or loudly, I must have heard them, as they were only separated from me by slight folding doors, but I did not. Mr. Grant remained, I think, about ten minutes, and when be left, myhusband returned to me and said, "Why, what do you think lenge from Munro." "Nonsense," I cried. "It is, indeed," he replied. To which I rejoined, " But you surely won't g:o out?" "I don't know that," he said. I replied, " Why, you could never fire at each other." "At any rate," he observed, "I must be off to the club, and get Daubeney's opinion (a Major in the 55th Regiment), and I will come back and tell you as soon as anything is agreed upon." But befo're he left he requested of me to tell him candidly if, in my opinion, he had acted temperately the night before or not ; to which I replied, " Why, in the first instance I think you were a little hot, but in the second I was astonished at your temperance." He then quitted the house, and returning about two o'clock, told me it was not yet settled, and showed 'Me the copy of a letter he had written for his friend. " Munro," he said, " still demands a meet ing, but Cuddy will see Mr. Grant again. " Cuddy;" I exclaimed, " Oh dear, I am sorry you Aced upon, so young. a man," "He is young,' said PUBLICATIONS.

ROBERTSON, Manager. • i my husband, 0 lia he is a peacemaker, and in- $e cool and clear-loaded than many - an older man ; be sides, Daubeney is so much engaged in arranging his family affairs, _that I did not wish to trouble him and I like to have one of my own regiment to act for me." • I then remarked that I thouzlit.he might have written a more c onc ili a t ory l e tt er , without leaving it in any one's power to say that he submitted tamely to'insult ; to which he replied, " that I . NN'as perhaps right, and that - it was not then too late to do:so." He again went to the club, and on his return read me a copyof a second letter, in which he said that he never intended . to insult Mr. Munro, but that he turned him - out" of his house for grossly' irtsulting .; him. [I Write this also from recollection; as the:Copies of those letters (the contents of which , are already known to the public) are not in my posses4en.l ~He then re marked that 'I l oo k e d very dull Wild 'low-spirited, to Which I replied, "How can - I - helpfeeling dull while thii business i s p en di ng ?" "-Oh,, he said, "as to that business I co ns id er i t as Settled; my_last note must have satisfied them ; it must hairs. Settled it." Nothing further took place till about six o'clock, when, as we were going down to dinner, Mr. Cuddy came in i •looking pale and harassed. I -merely shook hands with him, and returned to • the drawing-room, - as I saw he was unwilling to speak before me. When I was called cleWn, I found my husband very grave, and he informed me that Lieutenant Munr o wo uld not accept his last note, on the ground that it n r a 3 then too late, and still insisted on a meeting,sbut added. that Lieutenant Cuddy .was to see Mr. - Gsant once more, and. weuld let him know the' result in the even ing; and on my observing.hOw happy 'ls-should feel when it was amicably settled, he said, with a sigh, " That he wished to Heaven it was." I then, as I had repeatedly done before, entreated bins to endea vour, if possible, not to meet Lieutenant Munro, which he was as anxious as myself to avoid doing. He did not hear from Lieut. Cuddy till near mid night, when he received a note, a few lines of which I read over his shoulder, and when 1 saw that their purport was that Lieut. Cuddy had failed-in his en deavours to effect an arrangement, and that they were to go out, I fell back on my chair, nearly fainting, when my .husband said, in.a displeased manner, " Oh, this is just what I feared—that you would fail inc when I most required your firmness and obedience." He then went to order a carriage to - cOrise early the next morning, desiring me to get the servants to bed, but observed, that as it was already so late, it would be better for us.both to sit up. He soon came back, and lay down on the sofa, whilst I sat by his side. Thus passed the remainder of that sad night. He occasionally dezed, but I saw he watched me strictly, and was uneasy if I attempted to quit him. However, I had no idea whatever of endeavouring to give information, for I well knew My.. husband's character ; although he never had any concealments from me, and was kind, affectionate, and indulgent in the highest degree, yet be would never have forgiven the slightest interference on my part in a matter of honour or duty. I also never thought that 'Lieutenant Munro would fire at him ; and as I knew his own re solve not to discharge his pistol, I was . assured all would terminate happily, though I had a feeling of terror I could not then account for. I may have been to blame for the passive part I acted, but had I at tempted to interfere, the world would perhaps have blamed me still more, and I had the certainty of losing my husband's confidence for ever if I did so; but if I have erred by my silence (for I have nothing else to reproach myself with), God knows my punishment has been a heavy one—the destruction of the prospects of myself and child, and the utter ruin of every hope of happiness to me. But I must hasten to the conclusion of my sad relation. Shortly after my husband had dressed and breakfasted, the carriage arrived (I think it was near fire o'clock), and he sent me down to unfasten the hall door, lest the ringing should rouse the servants, which I did. He then said, on taking leave of me," " God bless you my ' beloved Annie, you have shown yourself this night to be a true and devoted wife; and, remember, what ever happens, I go out with a clear conscience, for they have forced me into this, and I will never fire at your sister's husband." He then ran down the stairs and let himself out. Little now remains for me say. Of the fatal circumstances that afterwards took place, those who peruse this statement know nearly as much as I do, and I have now stated everything that passed. to the best of my belief and recollection, up to the time my husband left me. Of Lieutenant Munro's feelings and intentions on going 0ut,. • 1 will say nothing, as they could only be known to, himself, and the great God who will one day judge us all; nor will I dwell upon my own sufferings, which were rendered still more acute by being made a theme of conversation to the world ; but, disregarding the fresh anguish these details occasion me, 1 consider it my duty to refute the odium thrown upon my beloved husband's memory by the man that slew him, as well its the odious reflections cast upon nvielf; for Lieut. Munro is well aware that no person I(excepting Mr. Cuddy, to whom he could not mean to allude) but myself had any knowledge of what was going for ward ; and I now here most solemnly state that, front first-to last, I never once heard my husband mention. Lieut. Munro's name with the slightest agree of acri mony, nor did one word ever fall from my lips calculated to produce that feeling, or prevent a reconciliation ; on the contrary, as I have before said, I: many times implored him in the strongest terms to avoid a meet ing, .which, he most earnestly wished to do. I also consider it right to state, that Colonel Fawcett was never before either principal, second, - or present at a duel, , but to my own personal knowledge had upon several occasions acted as peace-maker, when called upon by friends. As to the "suspicions of a most unhappy . nature," that were stated to have been hinted at by Colonel Fawcett, I cannot possibly imagine to what Lieutenant Munro - . pretends to allude, nor can any of my husband's-family or friends, to whom I have applied, throw any light on the subject; I will, therefore, merely state that my hus band was most anxious to settle his aftlirs,.. and take me on the Continent, as I had been suffering in health and spirits ever since last April, when I had the mis fortune to lose my mother-m-law, who reside with me ; and ever since our marriage we had bOn de sirous of disposing of the house in question, bilt had been prevented from doing so until lately, on account of my non-age and his absence from England. Having now made this statement—and what it has cost me so to do few can conceive—l am firmly re solved to be for ever after silent (if permitted) upon this agonizing subject; nor will .any future endea vours succeed in drawing forth another line from my pen, or word from my lips. . - ANNE FRANCES FAWCETT.
