"In riding over the hills this morning, I have lost a golden clasp, with three diamonds, that fastened my gorget, and I would ask you, should you meet with such a bauble in your ramblings, to carry it to the Lady Margaret of Threlkeld, who will see that it is restored to me." "Lady I will not fail to do your bidding. Few persons traverse those hills, and I doubt not the jewel may be recovered."
Queen Anne presented to this tribe three large marble tablets engraved with the Ten Commandments, which, after following them in all their ramblings for a century and a half, now grace the altar of this church, and are regarded with great veneration by the Indian settlers, who seem to look upon them with a superstitious awe.
"We live in a strange world. Before my feelings and dispositions had changed from wavering and transient to permanent and fixed, before the desultory ramblings, which almost became our age, had terminated in a path, and that, I trust, a right and honorable one, and from which, with moderate allowance for human inferiority, I have not deviated since, before my principles had attained their vigor, and generated those correct habits which it was their province to produce, in short, while, like most young men, I might be said to have as yet 'no character at all, I obtained your friendship.

The two fell briskly to work and soon made an impression on the blank iron wall. At first the American chatted of this and that, rehearsing his own aimless ramblings as men will, but presently he observed that Smith was painting away and paying no attention to his partner's chatter. "What's the worry, old man?" queried Madden lightly. "'Fraid the paint'll give out?"
This was continually the case in my ramblings with him about this storied neighborhood. His mind was fraught with the traditionary fictions connected with every object around him, and he would breathe it forth as he went, apparently as much for his own gratification as for that of his companion. "Nor hill, nor brook, we paced along, But had its legend or its song."
As this conviction strengthened, so an increased weariness of the artificial life of the metropolis, and of all its objects and amusements, turned his thoughts with an intense yearning towards the Bohemian freedom and fresh excitements of his foot ramblings.
Then, after glancing at the writing, I returned the letter, and declared quite calmly that it was written by me. The reading of this letter was my coup de grace. Certain poetic touches which might have furnished an explanation of, and an excuse for, my wild ramblings, were illegible.
