sett Che has got three Cousin Sarahs),
and asked her to come in June; he
liked her ever 30 much, and 30 did l,
what little I had seen of her. I thought
she was splendid.
(Note by Jack-Ten minutes acquaint-
ance in the parlor OF New York hotel,
on the way to Niagara.)
So I asked her to come next week,
which would be the 1st of June: but she
wrote back and said she was very sorry,
she was going to Hillsdale, she had
promised week there, but she would
come on the 10th if wanted her; 80 1
sent a postal to say I did. I told the
milkman I must have cream three times
that week-I mean the week after-and q
made sponge.cake and delicate-cake and
cookies, and I planned out dinner and
dessert for all the week, 80 I shouldn't
be anxious. It's one good thing about
being married, you don't have to do any
sewing for such long time. If I
hadn't chosen to do my own work 1
should have been at loss what to do
with my time; but I was glad hadn't
dressmaking to do now; I could have
no such time with Sarah. To be sure,
there's the mending, and Jack does wear
out stockings faster than anybody ever
saw; don't have one hole in mine to
four in his. I suppose it's boots.
However, mending is easy if there isn't
too much of it. Buttons trouble me
more than anything. I do believe they
were Just glued on to Jacks things, and
break off.
So I was quite ready the day before
the 10th. I had roses all over the
house, and the silver pitcher full OF
cream in the ice-bo1. and the man prom.
ised to bring me two quarts of berries
as soon as the boat came in, and I had
lovely veal outlets and peas for dinner
mean I was going to have them-and
Jack came home early; but. oh he had
letter in his pocket-a letter from
Hillsdale-to say Sarah had been per.
suaded to stay a week longer, but she
would come on the 18th,
Mother, was just mad. I sat down
on the sofa and cried. I always do cry,
you know. when I am angry; but poor

selves, as above; some broke out into
the streets, perhaps naked, and would
run directly down to the river and
plunge themselves into the water, when.
ever they found it. It often pierced my
soul to hear the groans and cries Of those
who were thus tormented. This run
ming of distempered people about the
streets was very dismal, and the magis-
trates did their utmost to prevent it
but as it was always in the night, and
generally sudden, when such attempts
were made, the officers could not be at
hand to prevent it and even when they
got out in the day, the officers appointed
did not care to meddle with them, be-
cause they we're all grievously infected,
to be sure, when they came to that
height, so they were more than ordinarily
infectious, and it was one OF the most
dangerous things that could be to touch
them. On the other hand, they gener.
ally ran on, not knowing what they did,
till they dropped down stark dead or till
they had exhausted their spirits 80 as
that they would fall, and then die in
perhaps half an hour or an hour and,
which was most piteous to hear, they
we're sure to come to themselves entirely
in that half hour or hour, and then to
make most grievous and piercing cries
and lamentations in the deep afflicting
sense of the condition they we're in
= After while the fury of the
infection appeared to be so increased
that in short they shut up no houses at
all !; it seemed enough that all the RENE
dies of that kind had been used till they
were found fruitless, and that the plague
spread itself with an irresistible fury, sc
that it came at last with such violence
that the people sat still, looking at each
other, and seemed quite abandoned te
despair. Whole streets seemed to be
desolsted, and not to be shut up only,
but to be emptied Of their inhabitants
