The motion on Wednesday night, in the House of Commons, not to proceed with public business that evening, in honor of the memory of Sir R. Peel, was as becoming to the House itself as it was to its mover, Mr. Hume.

I fear you think too highly of me; but I will endeavour to prove myself worthy of your good opinion, and to make you as good a wife as you deserve. "Yours, "Vera Nevill."
The wind here is strong at S.E. I hope you have it, and that it will carry you through the Straits. This is a sad place for refitting, the swell sets in so heavy; never again do we come to Naples: besides the rest, we are killed with kindness.

"That's just exactly what you did when you laid the bill down in such a hurry that night you were fixing Skinny up. You laid it on the open book just like that see?" "Maybe I did." I said, "but what's the big idea, kind sir?"
"Really, sir," said Brown, "his education has been somewhat neglected, and his chief property is being pleasant companion." "Ay, sir? that's a pity, begging your pardon it's great pity that beast or body, education should aye be minded. "I have no doubt, sir, they are thoroughbred but, to have so many dogs, you seem to have a very limited variety of names for them?" Faith, that was a night!
