EDGEWORTHSTOWN, Dec. 17, 1837. I see Richard going about the house with his watch in his hand to feel Sophy's pulse, and looking so anxious. How glad he must be that he had returned home, and to Sophy what a comfort it must be, to have the certainty of his affection, and to have the earliest companion of her childhood and her manly friend beside her now!

'The following is an extract from the visiting justices' minute-book at the same prison: "Dec. 12th, 1849. The number of prisoners who commit offences with the object of being maintained during the winter increases yearly, and is deserving of serious consideration, as a serious expense is entailed thereby on the city. The imprisonment inflicted is not looked on as a punishment, but a reward."

At which they all rushed to fetch burning faggots and tow; in a minute the yelling demons had melted her down. Dec. 15th. What a goose I am, and to think I am twenty-four, and known in literature! I go about humming between my teeth, "Why am I not Marcantonio? or Prinzivalle? or he of Narni? or the good Duke Alfonso? that I might be beloved by thee, Medea, mia dea," &c. &c. Awful rubbish!

13 C. H. Terrace: Dec. 7, 2nd Sunday in Advent, 1845. My dear Hope, I need hardly tell you I am deeply moved by your note, and your asking my prayers. I trust you give what you ask.

Dec. 4, 1567, Murray's secret council published an act, in which is the first mention of these letters, and in which they are said to be written and subscrivit with her awin hand. The difference between written and subscribed, and wholly written, gives the author just reason to suspect, first, a forgery, and then a variation of the forgery.

God has sent me a soul to educate for heaven, and give me a new and calmer bliss, and stronger hopes to comfort me. Dec. 25th, 1823.—Another year is gone. My little Arthur lives and thrives.
