Col. r. G Ingersoll has sent the
following note to his Miss Emma Alb
bott: Since saw you years ago
with the guitar, your soul has burst
into flowers. You were a chrysalis
then. To-day when l listened to your
voice, heard the rustling of wings.
Who could have thonght that the lit
tie bleak field of your past, ,drifted with
saow. over which moaned the wind,
would at last be covered with the bios
SONS of song? And yet all this, it
may be, was necessary. In your voice
there is mingled the pathos of the
past and the glad victory of the pre-
sent. You have suffered, loved and
succeeded"
