turned. The star of fate for a brief
span of time called us from the hos
pitable and prosperous country into
which we SHE'D our castor three years
ago. We put off fate and dulled our
ears to her call to the last moment,
knowing that the whole world without
home is nothing but prison of larg-
er ROOM Capricious fate tore up from
the happy state of our association with
people than whom there is none more
affable and kind, but she could not rob
us of the fond memories of those bound
to us by the indissoluble bond of
friendship. There is no thought so
gratifying or capable of giving place
as the knowledge that one is not with
out those who are interested in his well
fare. Our departure was sudden and
not without the SAVIOR of mystery
and sensation yet friends remained
constant. To these our memory will
ever be green. Those who exulted in
our misfortune were few and their joys
were concealed in signs. For this we
are truly thankful. No barbed shafts
of malice is harbored in our bosom to-
ward them. The divine teaching of
forgiving and forgetting is cultivated
