MosuL, Tuesday. July 1, 1854.
Leaving Akra on the 9th OF June, we went east.
ward few hours, aud all slept on quilts spread
upon the ground under the clear sky The next morn
ing we came to knpuse, dirty village OF hurds,
which had been deserted by the people on account OF
the heas. We spent the heat OF the day under null
berry tree and left evening while the mercury in the
shade stood at 1920. On over rolling country amid
shrubs and rocks rode an hour and half arriving
at q miserable village where the invalid thought she
TO die. We slept upon root and the next day wei
cCmed DIR. w. from Persia. Wecould go no further
and on the 29th at sunset, on our way back to-
ward Mosu sick friend mostly unconscious OF the
fatigues and incidents of the way.
What q night was that, under q spreading tree, sur
rounded by guards and rough mueteers-all ex'
pectng the king OF the grave 10 come! On the last
day of June reached Akra agan-a litter was
made-twelve Christians bore it-and the next MORN
ing at o o'clock, while moving the road, that lit
ter became n bier An hour further and rough box
was made ready for her We had loved. This, too

what had happened; at evening that box WIS bound
on mule we rode silently without stopping for t1ur.

prepared, and soon was laid in it the wfethe mother.
The Lord watch over that dust and bring it again
to life. Such is pilgrimage; but we journey home
TO God.
