some signal change in my feelings, in my
views, in my purposes IN my pursuits
What they may be | know not-tlme alone

reach the highest order Of human excellence
by the shortest possible cut. Associated
night ana day. in sickness and in health, IN
war and in peace, with woman OF this
highest order of excellence, must produce
/ some curious results IN my utdIl anu ltcl-
iugs. and those results the future will develop
in due time in the columns of the Herald.
Meanwhile return my heartfelt thanks iOr
the enthusiastic patronage of the public,
both of Europe and America. The holy
