on this enniverlary of his birthday, but hu refrained
from doing so. Lest year she was assailed by that
dread disease which knows no cure (oonsumption).
She put her desire in practice, and worked • book-
mark in silk, with Sae motto " The Bible our Guide,"
and I wrote to Mr. Gla istone and enclosed the book-
mark, at the same time explaining the ...Aeon why we
than presumed to address him. In reply. I received a
letter from the Hon. G. W. Spencer byttleton, and
an autograph letter from Mr. Gladstone for the young
lady. We also received, per rail, a box containing a
choice selection of camellias and ferns, and some v.ry
fine Engli.h grape., with a note from Mr. and Mrs.
