Asbury, a 10-year-o old boy, picked Ur
to-day in a letter dated July 8

The letter was written in the days
when envelopes we're few. Its pages
according to the old custom, were
folded am ance sealed with wax.
The letter mad been sent to Mrs
Mary 5. Frobel Wilton Hill, near

The writer was a philosopher. Talk
ing of the old days he says:
But those days with their sun
shine and their shade, their joys ana
their sorrows, belong TO the dreamy
past-and can only be recalled in in
dissoluble companionship with sun
dered ties, and the persisted forms Of

The letter expresses a deem religi IN
