This was written in July; August, September, and October passed away, and no pupils were to be heard of.
I had been waiting on God for means, both yesterday and today, and thus He has again shown how willing He is to help. Aug. 6. During this week I shall have to pay again at least 35l. for the Orphans, and have but about 19l. towards it. My eyes are up to the "Father of the fatherless." I believe He will help, though I knew not how. Aug. 7.
I want you to understand how this is. If the farmer paid ten pounds a- year more than he now pays, towards buying his farm, and if the 1,000l. the Government would pay for the farm would not cost the Government more than 35l., the difference between 35l. and 60l. being 25l., would be the sum which that farmer, in his rent, would be paying to the Commission, that is, to the Government, for the redemption of his farm.
Flour of the very coarsest description could not be had under from 30l. to 35l. per ton of two thousand pounds weight, a colonial cheat, calling two thousand pounds a ton! Sugar and other necessaries were equally high; and many a poor settler who had never refused his hard-worked servants their tea, sugar, and tobacco, was compelled to stop those indulgences.
Thus one farmer holds 803 acres, or "the grass of twenty-four cows," with mountain run attached, at a rent of 35l., while another who has 1,493 acres is only charged 26l. for "the grass of seventeen cows," with proportionate mountain. Even on holdings of this size, as well as on others of less value, such as 250 acres at a rent of 13l. 15s., Mr.

We espied one we thought would do, and said nothing at that time, but afterwards my husband and Matthaios went off by themselves and engaged her for 35l. a month, and I do not think that a better ship was to be found in Suez certainly there was none worth 120l.

The people were so miserably poor, that out of thirteen missions, only one could afford their priest 50l. per annum; one, 35l.; three, 30l.; and the rest, ranging from 25l. down to as low as 12l. per annum. Of course the priests could not subsist on these incomes without some other aid, and this was obtained by taking small farms, from which they endeavoured to eke out a living.
I have only brought away your clothes," added she, "and a few of mine; and some of the books you used to like to read; and some some things I have been getting for the for the baby.
