little amulet or charm, which aside from

1t is nothing more or less than petrifed

and inclosed in the letter a rosebud
The letter arrived safely at its destina.
ton, and, having been perused, was laid
aside with the rosebud in drawer, where
it remained eight or nine months
When the drawer was again overhauled
and the letter again brought to light,
the rosebud it contained was discovered

before the object was accomplished.
1t is a perfect rosebud, and so well pre-

or water could have changed the tender
rosebud into hard, almost diamond-likt
substance in the short space of nine
months is to us mystery.
