But the botanic spirit that Dr. Anderson had started remained alive in Madras; for in 1835, when, to the regret of many, his gardens had been split up into building-sites for two private residences, there was still a sufficient number of botanically inclined people in the city to found the Agri-Horticultural Society of Madras, a still-energetic body whose beautiful gardens at Teynampet deserve to be more generally appreciated by the public than they are.

He very significantly asked Colonel Anderson to take a gallop with him one morning, but they had not galloped far before he halted and plumply asked the brother's permission, as the present representative of her father, to pay his addresses to Rita.

All at once his foot sank deep in the snow, and he came near falling. Quickly the gentleman in the sledge drew rein and shouted to the peasant, whom he had forced from the road: "Hand over the child and it shall ride to the church with us.

It may appear too much to say, When you came to the colony you found the roads in good order: they are now impassable; communication is actually cut off from places of importance.

"Miss Anderson's been showing me the whole of Washington society. Have you been here long?" "Since morning," said Mrs. Brinkley. And she added, "Miss Anderson?" "Yes Campobello, don't you know?" "Oh yes. Is she here to-night?" "I came with her and her aunt." "Oh yes." "How is all Boston?" asked Dan boldly. "I don't know; I'm just going down to Old Point Comfort to ask.

These men were Lieutenant Colonel Zachary Taylor, Lieutenant Jefferson Davis, Lieutenant Robert Anderson, and Private Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln and Anderson did not meet again until 1861, after the latter had evacuated Fort Sumter.
