Them. After we had been out, about three hours, Aunt thought we had better go back to the house. So we went back. But I was very tired, Still I enjoyed it very much indeed. I wish you could have been there, but suppose you could not, as you were unwell. Give my love to inquiring friends, and write to me soon.

             Your affectionate cousin.      J. M. M.?
   My Friend,

On a lovely evening in Spring, A friend and myself started very early, and walked to the house of a sick friend. I was met at the door, by her mother, who informed us that she was a little better. I was very much pleased to hear it. I was invited to go in, and see my sick friend, who kindly welcomed me. My friends, H?, and F?, were with me. Eva was not much aquainted with F?, but appeared pleased to see her. I asked her if she thought she should get well, so as to go to school, when it commenced. She supplied, that she thought she should. We did not stay long, fearing it might tire her. We bade her a kind farewell, and left her, never [Next Page] to see her again. Many times since have I thought of that visit but never with any other feelings, than those of sorrow. S. E. B.
