The voice of lamentation fills the valley of Cashmere; its dells and woods, its cool fountains, and gardens of roses, are polluted by the dead; in Circassia and Georgia the spirit of beauty weeps over the ruin of its favourite temple the form of woman. Our own distresses, though they were occasioned by the fictitious reciprocity of commerce, encreased in due proportion.

Unendowed with mental culture, Providence has seemed, in a degree, to compensate to the girls of Circassia for want of intellectual brilliancy, by rendering them physically beautiful almost beyond description.
Then the memory of Lillah threw no shade over the scene of enjoyment, for we all knew that if her spirit were not hovering over her beloved Circassia, it would be here looking down on the fulfilment of her dying wish."

Some months afterwards, Alick met another old chum in Sauchiehall Street. 'By the bye, Alick, said he, 'I met a gentleman in New York who was asking for you. 'Who was that? asked Alick. 'The new second engineer on board the So-and-so, was the reply. 'Well, and who is he? 'Brown, to be sure. For Brown had been one of the fortunate quartette aboard the Circassia.
