engine &c. he says 'not select some sunny place in the heart where from natural good impulses the virtues grow without culture but guard the point in which we are most likely to fail spending most care in those Christian graces to which we are least disposed ' A missing grace not a blank but a blemish.'

Can it that nearly three months have passed since you left us; since we were together at at Milo, picking wild flowers sailing on 'our sweet vine, enjoying the verdant luxuriance of summer; you can scarcely realize the change to the brown, frozen earth and leafless trees for you can still see verdure and beauty on the face of nature. Lucy and I have had tranquil happy times these many days and weeks reading, working, chatting, 'taking no thought for the morrow'. you will consider perhaps that Lost days of Pompeii is included in our reading but we have found in it fine description , some genius of thought in the most beautiful and attractive style no doubt Isaac has read it amid all the miscellaneous love gathered in masse into the herbarium? of his brain.
