816.—Tuesday, February 24, 1857.THEBLACK VELVET DRESS, which was sent back by rail and coach in a very compressed parcel slightly covered with brown paper, and unaccompanied by any letter, has arrived as safely as under the circumstances was possible.817.—Wednesday, February 25, 1857.HEALTHand HAPPINESS. I approve.—ADA.818.—Monday, March 2, 1857.LITTLESTAR.—Since Nos. 1, 2, nothing received. Have you any news of the 11th and 20th? Have you seen the Z. of the 16? Why such long silence?819.—Tuesday, March 3, 1857.TOAMICUS.—Pray WRITE again, with particulars. Confidence shall be inviolate. There are two there. Has the name of the one intended four or five letters? At any rate answer this.820.—Tuesday, March 3, 1857.HARRY’SADVOCATE R***, actively hostile. This is unexpected, and time will prove that it was undeserved. H. may yield on the R. C. question, but no power on earth will cause any alteration on his part as regards the declaration of October 9, 1856.821.—Thursday, March 5, 1857.J.—The19th, 26th, and Saturday, 11 o’clock, all right. Soon again as possible. Far from well. Letters, long ones, at the old place.—H.822.—Friday, March 6, 1857.ALLfriendly and favourably settled this day, March 5, 1857.—North-street.823.—Monday, March 9, 1857.A.C.P.—Any request from you is sacred, and it shall ever be complied with. Trust my discretion, as you trust my sense of honour. Pray take care of yourself; banish all painful thoughts, and seek for calmness and composure in your judgment alone, and not in any artificial and temporary appliance. May God grant you the peace of mind and happiness you deserve, and may He allow us to meet again in better days.824.—Saturday, March 21, 1857.UNALTERABLE.—Say that a visit would be agreeable to you, and the sea should not long divide us. Such a change would be the means of restoring me to my usual health; but if not, the solitude of this place is more suitable to my present state of mind.—M. C. T.825.—Saturday, March 28, 1857.TOHIDE and SEEK.—My despatches! No, there are some things money cannot do, and all the ill-gotten wealth of London will not purchase my “Egyptienne.”—E. J. W.826.—Monday, March 30, 1857.TOa CHRISTIAN.—You don’t know their antecedents. It is not easy. My daughter has two toes joined together. I have not seen her for seven years.—E. J. W.827.—Saturday, April 4, 1857.TOUNALTERABLE. M. C. T.—A visit would be pleasing to her, when convenient to yourself.—H.828.—Wednesday, April 8, 1857.PERTHSHIREELECTION.—Proof instead of assertion. The writer is welcome to call at the residence of the party written to. Correspondence or a meeting elsewhere declined. Call to-morrow.829.—Thursday, April 9, 1857.PERTHSHIREELECTION.—Volunteers do not make conditions, but they are accepted. A reward will be given. It was not supposed the information was tendered from benevolence to either party.830.—Monday, April 13, 1857.NOTSUCCESSFUL.—THE STEPS.831.—Wednesday, April 15, 1857.UNSUCCESSFUL.—THE STEPS. Sorry for bad news. Communicate through bookselling channel.832.—Friday, April 17, 1857.VFLECHE.—Is despatches sufficiently blown for the coup de grâce selon la loi? There never was the mortal being could escape the patient search. &c.—Cage.—Signe.833.—Tuesday, April 21, 1857.TOHIDE and SEEK.—I can never touch that money; the honest London merchant has made a bad debt without a dividend. Help us against despatches, and then every indulgence, but free possession as a guarantee.—E. J. W.834.—Thursday, April 30, 1857.ZANTIPPUSRAVEN.—I will not injure you. Do your duty to those now bound to you.835.—Friday, May 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 1857.LOUISA.—Si l’amitié et votre cœur généreux vous a entrainée de faire le premier pas vers un précipice, il a en même temps ouvert la tombe pour ensévelir vos amis. Je vous en conjure, tranquillisez ceux sur votre sort aussi vite que possible.836.—Friday, May 15, 1857.MORMONISM.—Dear John, Kimball has declared in the “Deseret News” that you shall not run at large and lecture against Mormonism; also that Lavinia is divorced from you. Pray take care of yourself, and WRITE at once to Fred. (American papers please copy.)837.—Monday, May 18, 1857.TOHIDE and SEEK.—Despatches are to be despatched. Help us—and you can powerfully; and every indulgence that the fondest mother can desire shall be yours.—E. J. W.838.—Friday, May 22, 1857.TOHIDE and SEEK.—Mrs. B., late of St. James’s-street, proposes a legal document, but does notknow your hiding-place. I will not accept any English legal document. One of the first lawyers in the city of London told me I should always be crossed in all I attempted; and I could not get the competent men to act for me lately in the Court of Chancery, although the costs were deposited in hard cash. Men, to whom I had advanced ready money at 5 per cent., have laughed at me when I talked of recovery by law. My money has been stolen from my pocket-book, and yet no redress. In short I am hors la loi; but, fortunately, I know it.—E. J. W.839.—Tuesday, May 26, 1857.L.P.V.—Home influences should be continued, if practicable. Very much may undoubtedly be done; but, at present, it is impossible to say how much. Every day’s delay strengthens the habit, and increases the difficulty. The best course will be to WRITE at once to A.M., care of Mr. Cull, 13, Lombard-street. Arrange an early interview with him, and detail every minute particular. You are perfectly safe, as he will receive everything in the strictest confidence. He may very possibly effect a complete cure.840.—Friday, June 5, 1857.QUEENof HEARTS.—When is our picnic to come off? My holydays are nearly over, and I shall not ask my masters for more, unless you write and tell me you wish it. After I left school I was down in Norfolk three times, but you were not visible. Since I saw you I have learnt something by heart, and if I get your direction I will let you know it.841.—Wednesday, June 10, 1857.THEEVERGREEN OAK might fade and fall, but for the strong clinging arms of the Ivy, which, once grown, can never be removed alive. Types will appear to-morrow, and acorns may be quietly looked for in a few days.842.—Monday, June 15, 1857.IVY.—Your last is an inexhaustible source of happiness. The value of the types can only be conceived by you. Make the hour 10 to half-past. First proposal too late for you. Oak leaves early in July.843.—Wednesday, June 17, 1857.QUEENof HEARTS.—Your conduct is very cruel, and can only inflict pain and protract suspense; so (if you do not desire that) write and inform us of your welfare. A sufficiently long absence has only served to render strong feelings yet stronger, and it is time now to decide on the point of the compass I steer. You promised to fill the canvas for me; and I expect at least two feet of fulfilment of promise.844.—Thursday, June 18, 1857.LORELEY.—45, 46, and 47, RECEIVED. Time named for reading does nicely. Summer tour approved for reasons given. A budget ready and waiting shall be increased for next time. Quite well, under advice. A bulletin wanted. Thanks.—Yours, Tomkins.845.—Friday, June 26, 1857.LORELEY.—48, RECEIVED. Bell Primrose. Mr. T. leaves at dawn 28th.—Tomkins.846.—Saturday, June 27, 1857.THEREINDEER SONG.—So little did it appear to be applicable to the singer of this melody, that no token will be sent unless it is proved by another advertisement that it really was meant. Through an error this did not appear last week.847.—Tuesday, June 30, 1857.ICHDIEN.—I now call upon you. Those who could discover the secret in the most secluded nook in Europe can do anything. Double the signs. Banc, Signe, Hungary beyond the Theiss.848.—Thursday, July 2, 1857.J.E.R.—Can you express doubt when the height is already won? It is now the affair of time alone. I saw myself pictured forth in colours too faithful. I could not desire more.849.—Thursday, July 2, 1857.TOHIDE and SEEK.—I shall get my child, and the London merchant always has and always will pay 20s.in the £. By your deed my reversion is much improved, and as the trustees are to be changed, it is worth a good round sum; but you have received, since January 11, 1856, exactly £100 dividends on the Western of France, and if I pay the reward you must expect——.—E. J. W.850.—Tuesday, July 7, 1857.NICHTEINE MILLION.—Genug für Alles. My honour is pledged, and I am true, Aber sie ist sehr knapp mit dem Gelde.—Darf ich auf die ——borgen?

H. K. All is sincere, and well meant, and the most implicit confidence may be relied upon.857.—Saturday, August 1, 1857.KALENDS.—Bird has flown. 400 miles east of August, 1854. Thanks.858.—Monday, August 3, 1857.A.T.—Weeach forgive and love you, but entreat you to COME HOME. No T; no D. All well. E. has broken it. Our prayers are for you.859.—Tuesday, August 4, 5, 6, 1857.NIDDRIE,13th; so come on 12th. Tell E. J.860.—Wednesday, August 12, 1857.NIDDRIE,on 13th.—Do not come. There is foul play somewhere. A letter will explain.—J. S.861.—Thursday, August 13, 1857.M.D.—ACCEPTmy sincere but sorrowful THANKS. No. 19 if possible, but very doubtful. Be cautious, you are watched. A fellow-sufferer.862.—Friday, August 14, 15, 1857.N.M.—August12.—The second Saturday has passed.863.—Saturday, August 15, 1857.M.H.K.—Unalterable, unchangeable. We must act with firmness; our affairs will then be settled in a way most conducive to our own interests, and everything arranged according to our wishes by the appointed time.—Ever yours, Mimi, August 13, 1857.864.—Tuesday, August 18, 1857.CUMMINGto PET.—Je ne puis plus supporter cette existence. Viens avec moi je t’en prie-je suis si malheureux. Il faut m’écrire. The old address. God bless you.865.—Thursday, August 20, 1857.MIMI.—Will you kindly explain yours of the 13th? Have you received my two letters? Yours ever, M. H. K.866.—Thursday, August 20, 1857.CUMMINGto PET.—Je vous importune trop. Vous voudriez me voir partir loin de vous. Votre avenir sera plus heureux que le mien; moi, malade d’esprit et de corps, seul au monde, que ferai-je? Pourquoi m’avez-vous parlé de ces lettres? N’avez-vous plus de confiance en moi? Je n’ai pas encore été voir notre père, parceque j’ai été trop souffrant. Vous aurez de mes nouvelles mardi prochain. Adieu, mon épouse chérie. Soyez bonne. Je vois aime trop maintenant pour vous haïr plus tard. Je ne vous abandonnerai jamais.—Infelice.867.—Monday, August 24, 1857.M.H.K.—I have nothing to explain. Our wishes to settle our affairs are the same. If you would Write, and communicate everything, there would be no difficulty. You know my address. I wish my home in the country was nearer yours; but if you are ready to arrange our business I hope shortly to see you. Ever yours, Mimi, August 21, 1857.868.—Tuesday, August 25, 1857.MIMI.—You have received an address to which you can FORWARD me a LETTER. Many miles separate us. My position at the present time does not perhaps warrant me in going further. I have and do certainly entertain the highest respect and regard for you,but many difficulties present themselves which I cannot here explain, except I were assured of a letter reaching you, and that only by receiving one from yourself in the first instance. This is the only course I can adopt.—Yours ever, M. H. K.869.—Wednesday, August 26, 1857.ERINNERUNGUnd TEUMERFORT—Tyran.—No.—So very many THANKS for the TWO kind LETTERS, and for the delicate consideration your caution evinced for me. Can you, through this medium, show me you have noticed this? Do not write.870.—Saturday, August 29, 1857.M.H.K.—You must be faithful to your promise, and confirm all I wrote. You know my address, and be assured of its safety. Whenever you wish it I will write to you; indeed, now our correspondence should be constant. I never can forgive my mistake of yesterday; but you know it could not be intended.—Yours ever, Mimi.—August 29, 1857.871.—Monday, August 31, 1857.ERINNERUNGUND TEUMERFORT.—Tyran.—No.—Ten thousand thanks. This is my first advertisement. O wise Isis, have I lifted thy veil? When, oh! when. ***.—M. D.872.—Tuesday, September 1, 1857.MIMI.—I wish you to WRITE to me at once, with your present address.

K.873.—Wednesday, September 2, 1857.R.WELLBELOVE.—Ihave RECEIVED your very kind NOTE, and almost expected another. Most willingly will I give you what you have lost, but I want the size.

Write at once, and state everything distinctly, as it relates to affairs of great consequence. I trust the answer will be favourable in every way, and shall be very anxious for its arrival.—Yours ever, Mimi.—September 4th.877.—Wednesday, September 9, 1857.MIMI.—NO LETTER has been RECEIVED up to the present time, September 8, otherwise you would most certainly have had an answer. Will you write again at once.—Yours ever, M. H. K.878.—Thursday, September 10, 1857.MYDEAR SISTER.—I shall be in London the 10th (this day), when I hope to find you there, as our affairs are in a very unsettled state at present.—Yours ever, Mimi.879.—Saturday, September 12, 1857.NATHAN.—The portrait you have drawn is far from flattering. I hope yonr inferences are wrong, as the facts from which they are drawn never happened. Still I cannot help feeling grateful for the motive prompting your letter. I do not know you; it is for you to decide whether it would be advantageous to do so. I shall be in England in October.880.—Monday, September 14, 1857.BRISTOL.—RECEIVED. Not in the way suggested. No. 9 has charge of it, and will deliver it in proper time.881.—Monday, September 21, 1857.FLORENCE.—Ring yesterday. Anchor in a day or two.882.—Tuesday, September 22, 1857.M.H.K.—I have again been disappointed in not seeing you. When you have performed your promise, an answer will be immediately returned. You know how anxious I must be to arrange every part of our affair.—Yours ever, Mimi. Home, 20th.883.—Wednesday, September 23, 1857.MIMI.—You are labouring under some mistake. I have never yet received one letter; my promiseto reply when that arrives shall be kept. Write at once, as I am equally anxious.—Yours ever, M. H.

If it can be arranged speedily all will be well. I feared you were ill. I am better than I have been.—Vinegarette, Bath.887.—Tuesday, October 6, 1857.M.H.K.—My intention was to be in town the whole of next month to arrange our business. If you have determined not to be there it will be useless for me to think of it. I thought everything had been nearly settled, as I never forget a promise.—Yours ever, Mimi, October 2, 1857.888.—Wednesday, October 7, 1857.MIMI.—I beg of you to WRITE to me to the address I have before given you. You are evidently making a great mistake, as I have never made you one promise, except that of writing when I receive a letterfrom you. If you will do this, and give me your address, you shall hear from me. It is, I fear, a case of mistaken identity.—Yours ever, M. H. K.889.—Monday, October 12, 1857.P.P.P.—SECRECY.890.—Thursday, October 15, 1857.P.P.P.—SECRECY.

I am anxious to hear whether you received it.—Yours ever, Mimi.—October 13, H. W.892.—Monday, October 26, 1857.T.S.—THANKS.—Disappointed,yet thankful. Am I too indifferent to you to be favoured with a line? Does your seal express your feelings or what mine ought to be? He is enough: still human nature needs human sympathy. I am very sad.—O. W.

Decimals.—Cygne.903.—Tuesday, November 17, 1857.POLLY.—I have referred. Truly it applies. Need I again assure thee.

God bless you, my darling son.—“The Ezras.”—December 5, 1857.911.—Monday, December 14, 1857.MYdear SISTER.—Why not grant my request, and write as you promised? By keeping me in a state of uncertainty all our business is delayed. I have done all in my power. As soon as I have received your letter with the particulars no time shall be lost. If you wish to settle our affairs, the sooner an interview takes place the better.—H.

Comprenez-vous? Yes, I did it.—CYGNE.920.—Friday, January 1, 1858.TOT.—After the letter, do not for a moment suppose that I could make use of his house, money, or connexion. I adhere to mine of yesterday.

You have entirely misunderstood the feelings that actuated me. I, too, have resolved to do wonders, but it all ends as described.922.—Thursday, February 4, 1858.X.CHEOPSX.—As agreed, I have tried again to earn an honest living, and I earn about one-half as much as foreigners, and I see nothing but poverty and misery for myself and child.—Ciphering—decimals, 999.—CYGNE.923.—Wednesday, February 10, 11, 12, 1858.DOESHE REPENT?

Now, or it will be too late.924.—Saturday, February 13, 1858.DOESHE REPENT? for Whom? Guess.—My answer is a thousand times YES, on one condition, that the rose cast off the thorn. The violet will then be hers for ever. Do trust and have confidence, and the rose shall be happy, for nothing then shall ever separate the violet from “its rose.” Decide quickly, for time presses both, though for exactly opposite purposes. Will not the rose trust and support the “other flower”?925.—Monday, February 15, 1858.DOESHE REPENT?—There being no answer, it is now too late. Ah, Flower, whose name cannot be told, if thou hadst known the things that were for thy peace thou wouldst have asked forgiveness, ere this, of thy partner Rose. Now for the truth.926.—Monday, February 15, 1858.YOUASK IF HE REPENTS, he only awaits your initials, or other sufficient proof of your identity, to answer this question.

That Rose is now, alas! beyond the reach of those hands, and theyyet fear mischance. But write at once, or advertise more particularly, and a letter will be sent by “Appletree.”929.—Saturday, March 13, 1858.AWEEDon which a Rose has flung fragrance cares nothing for a few scratches. An advertisement, stating that a letter has been addressed to it, in its own real name, at the General Post-office, would delight it. The assumed name is ANTI-CHESTERFIELD.930.—Saturday, April 10, 1858.IF“Arrietta” relented, the horizon would soon brighten; perhaps if all were revealed, she might do this without cause of regret. An oak, far from being uprooted by the passing storm, then proves its power to cherish the yielding and tender vine.—ES—UB.931.—Wednesday, April 14, 1858.APRIL10.—Will ARRIETA let me MEET with a mutual friend?

The Moravian March Rose must give “Auskunft” and guarantee £500.—Toes.—CYGNE.936.—Thursday, May 6, 1858.SOPHIAW . . . . . M.—In looking over the MSS.

Father or son!—TICHBORNE.937.—Saturday, May 8, 1858.JEdois et je veux savoir.938.—Tuesday, May 11, 1858.TOA. S.—I have seen May 1st (and 8th?) All is right and settled. Words are needless. Be tranquil.939.—Friday, May 14, 1858.A.S.—Thisis only to thank you for what I have seen. My pleasure is the hope that I interpret rightly the last word but two. Give or get me the earliest permission possible to send the “Enigma;” and, when yousee what was wanting, you will find there was none. I am gone away till the middle of July. I need not say where now. Only one day’s post. J’attends.940.—Monday, May 17, 1858.MODELLAde 1854!—Ah! voudrai-je n’avoir pas proféré une pétition si facile à concéder, mais dont le refus si inattendu, et l’observation qui l’accompagnait, m’a causé tant de douleur. Le destin un prépare une pélérinage d’outre-Manche; pendant cet exile vos lettres chéries seront mon unique consolation. Si depuis quelque temps elles sont moins démonstratives, je suis sure que vous l’ignorez. Ancor, séparé ou non séparé. “Vi giuro eterna fede.”941.—Thursday, May 20, 1858.DEARA.

No inquiry shall be made. Rely. One line by post. Quite broken down. Oh, come.945.—Thursday, June 17, 1858.HEARTSEASE.—Pray be calm. Do not be too eager. All will yet be right. Do you agree to meet, and part no more. Some are foes—find a friend. The flowers in the conservatory, I suppose, bloomed last week. Do not part with anything. Do write. Vale.946.—Saturday, June 19, 1858.HEARTSEASE.—On the brow of the vale. Received with thanks. Agreed as desired, if not too long delayed. Foes I never feared. Friends are sometimes treacherous. I have not forgotten the conservatory. As ever. W.947.—Saturday, June 26, 1858.Y.Z.—Canthere be happiness without confidence? Alas, I see you doubt. It can never be received. It would be entire ruin. Can you sign it? In a month, death or victory.948.—Monday, June 28, 1858.Y.Z.—Asyou desire. Your sincerity is very satisfactory. Thanks for your faithfulness, it is duly appreciated, and shall be well rewarded. Hope on a little longer. Did you notice Saturday?949.—Wednesday, July 7, 1858.X.GAMINSX.—I CANNOT LECTURE at Coventry as contemplated. Although reported in the “Endowed Schools Commission” as receiving £80 per annum, I get but £50, and you know with that without board, &c.—E. J.

Soyez ferme et tout ira bien. Votre tout dévoué.953.—Thursday, July 15, 1858.ESPERANZA.—Cela ne sera jamais. Ces enfantillages ne m’effrayent pas. Plus que jamais je suis décidé à tout avoir, et une vingtaine de ces lettres injustes et cruelles ne me détourneront pas de mon projet. Vous savez ce que je ferais si vous me faisiez perdre la partie. Vous n’avez qu’à rester fidèle à vos promesses.954.—Wednesday, July 21, 1858.ESPERANZA.—J’attends toujours une lettre: si je ne la reçois pas bientôt j’irai vous voir. L’affairemarche bien, mais votre indifférence et votre silence m’ont beaucoup affligés. Votre tout dévoué.955.—Saturday, July 24, 1858.ESPERANZA.—Say how a letter can reach you, and you will receive important information. Address, E. D. V. X., Post-office, Jersey.956.—Monday, July 26, 1858.ESPERANZA.—Il me semble que vous m’avez tout-à-fait oublié. Pourquoi ne m’avez-vous pas écrit? Au moins, dites-moi où je puis vous écrire. Comme il s’agit maintenant de notre bonheur futur, vous pouviez être un peu moins inconstant. Votre dévoué.957.—Tuesday, July 27, 1858.ACT7. V. R. Cap. 30 and 31. Parole.958.—Wednesday, July 28, 1858.DECIMALSto CHEOPS.—I have done the State some service, and they know it; but I intend to do a great deal more. Coventry, like Spitalfields, will not assist us; but the form must be gone through. Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.959.—Monday, August 2, 1858.DECIMALSto CHEOPS.—T. C.

Not Coventry, but Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool. Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.962.—Thursday, August 12, 1858.BLUEBELL.—Letters received the 10th. Henceforth I have every confidence—it was only this trial I feared. I have had a dreadful letter from P. Trust no one. Look again 17th. Will try what I can do the other way. Keep up your spirits.—LOCHINVAR.963.—Wednesday, August 18, 1858.BLUEBELL.—Your letter received. Your feelings on receipt will tell you mine. Address given will always find. I leave for the continent in a week. Will continue to communicate thus. Never mind the P. S. question. Write when can.—Lochinvar.964.—Friday, August 20, 1858.ALL’SWRONG, Wrong. From Old Tom. Write.965.—Saturday, August 21, 1858.BLUEBELL.—The genuine, truthful, earnest style of your letters is deeply appreciated. Do not alter it. For C. read J. Two months. L. has and always will have perfect confidence. Keep L. advised as to all movements at head quarters.—Constantia.966.—Saturday, August 28, 1858.CONSTANTIA.—Trust our kind friend (under promise) with all except means of intelligence. Say how grateful I am for kindness to you. Say nothing to T. at present. B. B. could not offend. L.’s confidence and respect increase daily. Have taken measures to frustrate our enemy. Keep aloof from this person. Advise our kind friend to do the same as terrible disclosures impend (not affecting us).—L.967.—Thursday, September 2, 1858.DECIMALSto CHEOPS.—Honest John Bull is pig-headed, but he begins to grasp this business. I claim to rank with Cobden, Bright, and Rowland Hill. I go on. (Long R—— Joey). Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.968.—Wednesday, September 8, 1858.BLUEBELL.—Should have written sooner, but am far away. Write as often as can; ’tis all I have to cheer me. Now and then. The person you so much dislike (a Lady) is the enemy alluded to. I am not very friendly with him whose visits you advised me of. Do not let him gain any information from you, and believe nothing he may report. Cheer up. Every confidence. Be cautious.—L.969.—Wednesday, September 22, 1858.CONSTANTIA.—Received two. That which has worried you is part of a plan. Heed it not. If that which you allude to is not given it must be done without. Rely upon L’s affection and determination. Who says ’tis for the best? 1st November. The timewill pass, slow as it lags. Were it 10 instead of 2 it would make no change. Pray write soon—tell me of your health. B. B. must be very steadfast, and close ears to the insidious whisperings, which will be continued.—VIOLET.970.—Wednesday, September 29, 1858.COLCHESTER.971.—Saturday, October 2, 1858.THECOMET will appear very bright, on Saturday. Look out at Remenham.—Briggs.972.—Monday, October 4, 1858.G.P—N— G— N—. Mandami il tuo indirizzo, avrò forse bisogno di scriverti. Qualora tu foste ricercato del piccolo B. O.

You can guess my feelings. Can a lawyer advise a criminal act without rendering himself equally liable? Answer to E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.974.—Thursday, October 7, 1858.VIOLET—3which greatly comforted me. I rate your good taste too high and the individual too low to cause any uneasiness. Would a letter as last be safe? Is our kind friend as well disposed towards me as ever? It would please me much to know this. Well in health, but low in spirits. I was a little uneasy, but am no longer so.—Lochinvar.975.—Thursday, October 21, 1858.BLUEBELL.—Two.—I am deeply grateful, and much happier for the knowledge of * * * * *’s continued kindness and good opinion. You can communicate all except the actual means to her. I do not doubt —— trustworthiness, but a look or a gesture might unwittingly betray, and invoke consequences which would be frightful. Well. Again in a few days. I have so much to say, the loss of the expected means is miserable, though not unexpected.—L.976.—Tuesday, November 2, 1858.AUCONTRAIRE, long expected Y O M is not such an uncertain bird that some indications of his flight would not be observable. Have more confidence.977.—Tuesday, November 2, 1858.CONSTANTIA.—One.—Your efforts cannot but meet my warmest approbation. One of my dearest hopes was to have shared in this, but trust may help to finish. . . . . .’s kindness, merits, and receives my warmest gratitude—say this from me. Something may be made of the excursion you name. Think, and I will also. The separation from B. B. is becoming unendurable to L. Each day heavier than the last. A meeting must be managed. Well. About 4th November.978.—Saturday, November 6, 1858.SOBE IT, MARIE, God bless you! 10th and 11th if possible, which is earlier than I said, if I am able to leave home. The trial is terrible. You act nobly. You know some dates, please to use them. All’s well. Ever your—.—Nov. 5.979.—Monday, November 8, 1858.LAURA.—The choice rose has drooped this year—the petals will become dry, but still retain the aroma—some of the branches are a little out of cultivation—the stem is degenerating. The otto from the damask rose will ever retain its fragrance—all extraneous perfumes nauseate. Thanks for the liberal offer, which is gratefully declined. As before.980.—Tuesday, November 9, 1858.CONSTANTIA.—Letters have been sent which have not come to your hands. Write and say where one can be sent safely. You may depend on me.981.—Wednesday, November 10, 1858.VIOLET.—Great caution is now necessary. L.’s movements are known. Patience and faith. Well. In a few days. Your brother does not wish to offend. London, Nov. 9, 1858.982.—Thursday, November 11, 1858.STANDLYNCH,1811, the Comet: Paris, E. Ct., 1858, the Comet!983.—Tuesday, November 16, 1858.BLUEBELL.—Is anything wrong? It seems such a terrible time since I heard. Pray write soon as can. The notice (C) on Tuesday was not mine—V was. There is one kind friend who will do all he can to effect a reconciliation if opportunity offers. I fancy kinder feelings exist towards me than we think. Do write.—London, November 12, 1858.984.—Wednesday, November 17, 1858.TWENTY-FIVE.—Ich grüsse dich recht herzlich, und denke nur an dich.985.—Friday, November 19, 1858.J.S.deceased.—Brentford, C. A.—The Clue.—Bartholomew accepts. The most binding legal engagement will be entered into. Write at once, as last, to Furnival’s-inn, and appoint interview.986.—Saturday, November 20, 1858.LILIAN.—It was not wrong. I had only been doubtful as to the reality. Happiness is yet in store for you. Pray write again and send an address.—C.987.—Thursday, November 25, 1858.B.B.—Areyou unwell, or what is amiss? Nothing since November 2—21 long days. Can any letters have miscarried? My confidence is unshaken, but I fear some terrible calamity. Pray relieve my anxiety, you know how fearful that must be.—LOCHINVAR.988.—Thursday, November 25, 1858.LILIAN.—Forgive me.—I cannot leave you thus. I have much to say of comfort and sympathy, and long for the opportunity. Your better feelings will tell you that Rome is not the only refuge. I beg of you to let me hear at all times when practicable, if the other is at present impossible, and also to withdraw the expression that your determination is irrevocable. You may, indeed, confide in me as in a dear friend or brother. Take courage, and hope for brighter days.—C.
THEBLACK VELVET DRESS, which was sent back by rail and coach in a very compressed parcel slightly covered with brown paper, and unaccompanied by any letter, has arrived as safely as under the circumstances was possible.
HEALTHand HAPPINESS. I approve.—ADA.
LITTLESTAR.—Since Nos. 1, 2, nothing received. Have you any news of the 11th and 20th? Have you seen the Z. of the 16? Why such long silence?
TOAMICUS.—Pray WRITE again, with particulars. Confidence shall be inviolate. There are two there. Has the name of the one intended four or five letters? At any rate answer this.
HARRY’SADVOCATE R***, actively hostile. This is unexpected, and time will prove that it was undeserved. H. may yield on the R. C. question, but no power on earth will cause any alteration on his part as regards the declaration of October 9, 1856.
J.—The19th, 26th, and Saturday, 11 o’clock, all right. Soon again as possible. Far from well. Letters, long ones, at the old place.—H.
ALLfriendly and favourably settled this day, March 5, 1857.—North-street.
A.C.P.—Any request from you is sacred, and it shall ever be complied with. Trust my discretion, as you trust my sense of honour. Pray take care of yourself; banish all painful thoughts, and seek for calmness and composure in your judgment alone, and not in any artificial and temporary appliance. May God grant you the peace of mind and happiness you deserve, and may He allow us to meet again in better days.
UNALTERABLE.—Say that a visit would be agreeable to you, and the sea should not long divide us. Such a change would be the means of restoring me to my usual health; but if not, the solitude of this place is more suitable to my present state of mind.—M. C. T.
TOHIDE and SEEK.—My despatches! No, there are some things money cannot do, and all the ill-gotten wealth of London will not purchase my “Egyptienne.”—E. J. W.
TOa CHRISTIAN.—You don’t know their antecedents. It is not easy. My daughter has two toes joined together. I have not seen her for seven years.—E. J. W.
TOUNALTERABLE. M. C. T.—A visit would be pleasing to her, when convenient to yourself.—H.
PERTHSHIREELECTION.—Proof instead of assertion. The writer is welcome to call at the residence of the party written to. Correspondence or a meeting elsewhere declined. Call to-morrow.
PERTHSHIREELECTION.—Volunteers do not make conditions, but they are accepted. A reward will be given. It was not supposed the information was tendered from benevolence to either party.
NOTSUCCESSFUL.—THE STEPS.
UNSUCCESSFUL.—THE STEPS. Sorry for bad news. Communicate through bookselling channel.
VFLECHE.—Is despatches sufficiently blown for the coup de grâce selon la loi? There never was the mortal being could escape the patient search. &c.—Cage.—Signe.
TOHIDE and SEEK.—I can never touch that money; the honest London merchant has made a bad debt without a dividend. Help us against despatches, and then every indulgence, but free possession as a guarantee.—E. J. W.
ZANTIPPUSRAVEN.—I will not injure you. Do your duty to those now bound to you.
LOUISA.—Si l’amitié et votre cœur généreux vous a entrainée de faire le premier pas vers un précipice, il a en même temps ouvert la tombe pour ensévelir vos amis. Je vous en conjure, tranquillisez ceux sur votre sort aussi vite que possible.
MORMONISM.—Dear John, Kimball has declared in the “Deseret News” that you shall not run at large and lecture against Mormonism; also that Lavinia is divorced from you. Pray take care of yourself, and WRITE at once to Fred. (American papers please copy.)
TOHIDE and SEEK.—Despatches are to be despatched. Help us—and you can powerfully; and every indulgence that the fondest mother can desire shall be yours.—E. J. W.
TOHIDE and SEEK.—Mrs. B., late of St. James’s-street, proposes a legal document, but does notknow your hiding-place. I will not accept any English legal document. One of the first lawyers in the city of London told me I should always be crossed in all I attempted; and I could not get the competent men to act for me lately in the Court of Chancery, although the costs were deposited in hard cash. Men, to whom I had advanced ready money at 5 per cent., have laughed at me when I talked of recovery by law. My money has been stolen from my pocket-book, and yet no redress. In short I am hors la loi; but, fortunately, I know it.—E. J. W.
L.P.V.—Home influences should be continued, if practicable. Very much may undoubtedly be done; but, at present, it is impossible to say how much. Every day’s delay strengthens the habit, and increases the difficulty. The best course will be to WRITE at once to A.M., care of Mr. Cull, 13, Lombard-street. Arrange an early interview with him, and detail every minute particular. You are perfectly safe, as he will receive everything in the strictest confidence. He may very possibly effect a complete cure.
QUEENof HEARTS.—When is our picnic to come off? My holydays are nearly over, and I shall not ask my masters for more, unless you write and tell me you wish it. After I left school I was down in Norfolk three times, but you were not visible. Since I saw you I have learnt something by heart, and if I get your direction I will let you know it.
THEEVERGREEN OAK might fade and fall, but for the strong clinging arms of the Ivy, which, once grown, can never be removed alive. Types will appear to-morrow, and acorns may be quietly looked for in a few days.
IVY.—Your last is an inexhaustible source of happiness. The value of the types can only be conceived by you. Make the hour 10 to half-past. First proposal too late for you. Oak leaves early in July.
QUEENof HEARTS.—Your conduct is very cruel, and can only inflict pain and protract suspense; so (if you do not desire that) write and inform us of your welfare. A sufficiently long absence has only served to render strong feelings yet stronger, and it is time now to decide on the point of the compass I steer. You promised to fill the canvas for me; and I expect at least two feet of fulfilment of promise.
LORELEY.—45, 46, and 47, RECEIVED. Time named for reading does nicely. Summer tour approved for reasons given. A budget ready and waiting shall be increased for next time. Quite well, under advice. A bulletin wanted. Thanks.—Yours, Tomkins.
LORELEY.—48, RECEIVED. Bell Primrose. Mr. T. leaves at dawn 28th.—Tomkins.
THEREINDEER SONG.—So little did it appear to be applicable to the singer of this melody, that no token will be sent unless it is proved by another advertisement that it really was meant. Through an error this did not appear last week.
ICHDIEN.—I now call upon you. Those who could discover the secret in the most secluded nook in Europe can do anything. Double the signs. Banc, Signe, Hungary beyond the Theiss.
J.E.R.—Can you express doubt when the height is already won? It is now the affair of time alone. I saw myself pictured forth in colours too faithful. I could not desire more.
TOHIDE and SEEK.—I shall get my child, and the London merchant always has and always will pay 20s.in the £. By your deed my reversion is much improved, and as the trustees are to be changed, it is worth a good round sum; but you have received, since January 11, 1856, exactly £100 dividends on the Western of France, and if I pay the reward you must expect——.—E. J. W.
NICHTEINE MILLION.—Genug für Alles. My honour is pledged, and I am true, Aber sie ist sehr knapp mit dem Gelde.—Darf ich auf die ——borgen? Die Juden thun es zu hohen zinsen.—Zigeuner.
ALLSERENE.—Tummidge is through. John Dykes, that poor old man, is dead, &c.
LECHAR L’ATTEND.—Decimals.—Our Swan is not a crow. See how proudly he rears his snow-white crest, distends his beautiful silvery wings, and spurns the wave, as he majestically strides forwards.—Cygne.
REVEALthe NAME.
G.H.—Luke15th chap. 10 and 16—to 24.
MIMImay rely on secrecy; that is the only addition that can be made to the intimation already given, and which is rightly supposed to have been intended for the person who now writes more distinctly under the above signature.
MIMI.—You can trust your correspondent, M. H. K. All is sincere, and well meant, and the most implicit confidence may be relied upon.
KALENDS.—Bird has flown. 400 miles east of August, 1854. Thanks.
A.T.—Weeach forgive and love you, but entreat you to COME HOME. No T; no D. All well. E. has broken it. Our prayers are for you.
NIDDRIE,13th; so come on 12th. Tell E. J.
NIDDRIE,on 13th.—Do not come. There is foul play somewhere. A letter will explain.—J. S.
M.D.—ACCEPTmy sincere but sorrowful THANKS. No. 19 if possible, but very doubtful. Be cautious, you are watched. A fellow-sufferer.
N.M.—August12.—The second Saturday has passed.
M.H.K.—Unalterable, unchangeable. We must act with firmness; our affairs will then be settled in a way most conducive to our own interests, and everything arranged according to our wishes by the appointed time.—Ever yours, Mimi, August 13, 1857.
CUMMINGto PET.—Je ne puis plus supporter cette existence. Viens avec moi je t’en prie-je suis si malheureux. Il faut m’écrire. The old address. God bless you.
MIMI.—Will you kindly explain yours of the 13th? Have you received my two letters? Yours ever, M. H. K.
CUMMINGto PET.—Je vous importune trop. Vous voudriez me voir partir loin de vous. Votre avenir sera plus heureux que le mien; moi, malade d’esprit et de corps, seul au monde, que ferai-je? Pourquoi m’avez-vous parlé de ces lettres? N’avez-vous plus de confiance en moi? Je n’ai pas encore été voir notre père, parceque j’ai été trop souffrant. Vous aurez de mes nouvelles mardi prochain. Adieu, mon épouse chérie. Soyez bonne. Je vois aime trop maintenant pour vous haïr plus tard. Je ne vous abandonnerai jamais.—Infelice.
M.H.K.—I have nothing to explain. Our wishes to settle our affairs are the same. If you would Write, and communicate everything, there would be no difficulty. You know my address. I wish my home in the country was nearer yours; but if you are ready to arrange our business I hope shortly to see you. Ever yours, Mimi, August 21, 1857.
MIMI.—You have received an address to which you can FORWARD me a LETTER. Many miles separate us. My position at the present time does not perhaps warrant me in going further. I have and do certainly entertain the highest respect and regard for you,but many difficulties present themselves which I cannot here explain, except I were assured of a letter reaching you, and that only by receiving one from yourself in the first instance. This is the only course I can adopt.—Yours ever, M. H. K.
ERINNERUNGUnd TEUMERFORT—Tyran.—No.—So very many THANKS for the TWO kind LETTERS, and for the delicate consideration your caution evinced for me. Can you, through this medium, show me you have noticed this? Do not write.
M.H.K.—You must be faithful to your promise, and confirm all I wrote. You know my address, and be assured of its safety. Whenever you wish it I will write to you; indeed, now our correspondence should be constant. I never can forgive my mistake of yesterday; but you know it could not be intended.—Yours ever, Mimi.—August 29, 1857.
ERINNERUNGUND TEUMERFORT.—Tyran.—No.—Ten thousand thanks. This is my first advertisement. O wise Isis, have I lifted thy veil? When, oh! when. ***.—M. D.
MIMI.—I wish you to WRITE to me at once, with your present address. Forward my letter to the Post-office, Royal-hill, Greenwich, S.E. I have been expecting to hear daily.—Yours ever, M. H. K.
R.WELLBELOVE.—Ihave RECEIVED your very kind NOTE, and almost expected another. Most willingly will I give you what you have lost, but I want the size. That every blessing may attend you is the most sincere wish of your relative, M. D.
CUMMINGto PET.—Madame CUMMING TROUVERA une LETTRE pour elle à la poste restante, chez Morris, imprimeur, 35, Ludgate-hill; Ce sera la dernière.
M.H.K.—I shall be in town the evening of the 10th, and shall hope to see you the following day, when all our business may be settled.—Yours ever, Mimi.—September 6, 1857.
M.H.K.—A LETTER, of great importance, was FORWARDED to Greenwich, as you wished. Write at once, and state everything distinctly, as it relates to affairs of great consequence. I trust the answer will be favourable in every way, and shall be very anxious for its arrival.—Yours ever, Mimi.—September 4th.
MIMI.—NO LETTER has been RECEIVED up to the present time, September 8, otherwise you would most certainly have had an answer. Will you write again at once.—Yours ever, M. H. K.
MYDEAR SISTER.—I shall be in London the 10th (this day), when I hope to find you there, as our affairs are in a very unsettled state at present.—Yours ever, Mimi.
NATHAN.—The portrait you have drawn is far from flattering. I hope yonr inferences are wrong, as the facts from which they are drawn never happened. Still I cannot help feeling grateful for the motive prompting your letter. I do not know you; it is for you to decide whether it would be advantageous to do so. I shall be in England in October.
BRISTOL.—RECEIVED. Not in the way suggested. No. 9 has charge of it, and will deliver it in proper time.
FLORENCE.—Ring yesterday. Anchor in a day or two.
M.H.K.—I have again been disappointed in not seeing you. When you have performed your promise, an answer will be immediately returned. You know how anxious I must be to arrange every part of our affair.—Yours ever, Mimi. Home, 20th.
MIMI.—You are labouring under some mistake. I have never yet received one letter; my promiseto reply when that arrives shall be kept. Write at once, as I am equally anxious.—Yours ever, M. H. K.
HORSESHOE.—I am most anxious about you. Why don’t you write? I returned on Saturday. All went wrong. Alarm is well, but eager for news.—Vinegarette, Bath, 21st of September, 1857.
DANSKEveuner i London bringes herved et hjerteligt Levvel fra F. S. Bang.
HORSESHOE.—Your LETTER was RECEIVED on Saturday, and greatly has it relieved my mind. Do you remember our last conversation? If it can be arranged speedily all will be well. I feared you were ill. I am better than I have been.—Vinegarette, Bath.
M.H.K.—My intention was to be in town the whole of next month to arrange our business. If you have determined not to be there it will be useless for me to think of it. I thought everything had been nearly settled, as I never forget a promise.—Yours ever, Mimi, October 2, 1857.
MIMI.—I beg of you to WRITE to me to the address I have before given you. You are evidently making a great mistake, as I have never made you one promise, except that of writing when I receive a letterfrom you. If you will do this, and give me your address, you shall hear from me. It is, I fear, a case of mistaken identity.—Yours ever, M. H. K.
P.P.P.—SECRECY.
P.P.P.—SECRECY. No letter will either be shown or given up, but destroyed directly after receipt, if so wished by the writer, who may communicate without fear.
M.H.K.—Your LETTER was FORWARDED, as you desired, to the post-office, Royal-hill, Greenwich, S.E., on the 8th. I am anxious to hear whether you received it.—Yours ever, Mimi.—October 13, H. W.
T.S.—THANKS.—Disappointed,yet thankful. Am I too indifferent to you to be favoured with a line? Does your seal express your feelings or what mine ought to be? He is enough: still human nature needs human sympathy. I am very sad.—O. W. D.
CUMMINGto PET.—Pourquoi n’avez vous pas écrit? Il y a une lettre pour vous a la poste-restante, Ludgate-hill.
TOTAL£2,700: Balance £18.—North-street, October 27, 1857.
X.—Icautioned, but to no purpose. The £2,300 are gone. This makes £6,000 lost in that way—and all hard cash. The cup is now full. Foreigners have the preference; but Decimals will face the wolf a second time.—Cygne.
YES.—Hold! till know all. My friend middling yet. All for you, and give up two years. If yes, put the signal in a sentence home: if lost, a blotted inside envelope at home. Up! up! upon relying Write.
X.—Imust send the poor little girl round by sea to be tossed on the Atlantic for six days. My poverty, not my will consents. Is it true Nena Sahib was stripped of his patrimony? Decimals and poverty—£2,300 and starvation. St. Swithin.—Cygne.
BIANCHINA.—Always, always the same. Don’t forget.
BIANCHINA.—WRITE when you can till the great day comes, when words will give place to actions.
TOW.—If you really wish to see me, let me know what day you go to D., and where I can find you.—Mimi, Nov. 12, 1857.
BIANCHINA.—I have not heard from you for so long. Why?
X.—Istand no chance in this race with foreigners, because I am an Englishman. Nena Sahib. St. Swithin. Decimals.—Cygne.
POLLY.—I have referred. Truly it applies. Need I again assure thee. Review calmly and sincerely what we have each since experienced, and forget not thy first obligation. Write, I entreat thee.—John.
BIANCHINA.—SECOND NOT RECEIVED. It is a pity. Never mind. Always the same.
BIANCHINA.—I am yours a thousand times more than ever. Remember you may depend upon me. For God’s sake write when you can—t’adoro sempre piu. You belong to me.
CUMMINGto PET.—Il y a une LETTRE pour toi, la même adresse.—Ton dévoué.
M.D.,your COMMUNICATION has been received, and calls for my THANKS and gratitude. I had thought it possible we might have met. Your faithful Friend.
Z.—Chancedto see yours to-day. Lameness prevented myself taking it. I was assured it did appear in a different part. Pray forgive me for the neglect of others. A grateful heart is yours. Let me explain personally. I am grieved.
MYdear SISTER,—Pray perform your promise in writing to me. If my proposal had been accepted all would have been well.—MIMI, H. W. Do not delay.
EZRA.—Oh! WRITE immediately and often. Take care of yourself. Cheer up. All right. Good-night. God bless you, my darling son.—“The Ezras.”—December 5, 1857.
MYdear SISTER.—Why not grant my request, and write as you promised? By keeping me in a state of uncertainty all our business is delayed. I have done all in my power. As soon as I have received your letter with the particulars no time shall be lost. If you wish to settle our affairs, the sooner an interview takes place the better.—H. W., December 11.
M.D.—Iam very sorry I missed you, and more so that we cannot meet as suggested. Satisfactory explanations shall be given.
H.W.,February 20, 1854.—Nearly four years’ absence and indifference leaves us both at liberty to act as we please independently of each other.—M. B., Dec. 14, 1857.
THEEZRAS.—LETTER RECEIVED—much joy. Let your whereabouts be speedily communicated to your mother. God bless you.—HELEN.
CUMMINGto PET.—Il y a une LETTRE pour vous—la même adresse. Je vous attends avec beaucoup d’inquietude. Venez bientôt je vous en prie. Votre dévoué.
M.D.——No. 31.—It will afford me great pleasure under any circumstances.
CUMMINGto PET.—Quand je vous vois, je vous dirai tout ce que je pense de votre conduite. Ce n’est pas bien de vous. Il y a des lettres pour vous. Toujours fidèle.
X.CHEOPS.—No,no. Hands off my child. I am no longer bound by the laws of humanity, and had it been a boy, yes; but I will not risk my little gipsey girl amongst the pestilential marshes of Hungary, though there secure against every power.—B. Z. Q., 666.—CYGNE.
X.—CHRISTOPHERCOLUMBUS. O, no language can describe what I have had to endure in endeavouring to earn an honest living in my dear country. Kicked out of my beautiful native city into the vilest—and now wounded in my dearest affections. I was told it would be so, Alec. Boxmoor on the one hand. Decimals by the right. Eggs by the left. Comprenez-vous? Yes, I did it.—CYGNE.
TOT.—After the letter, do not for a moment suppose that I could make use of his house, money, or connexion. I adhere to mine of yesterday. The sacrifice you shall have to make will be the truest test of your sincerity—therefore, pause.—N. and H.
M.D.—Mymeaning has not been clearly expressed. You have entirely misunderstood the feelings that actuated me. I, too, have resolved to do wonders, but it all ends as described.
X.CHEOPSX.—As agreed, I have tried again to earn an honest living, and I earn about one-half as much as foreigners, and I see nothing but poverty and misery for myself and child.—Ciphering—decimals, 999.—CYGNE.
DOESHE REPENT? To Him who can Understand.—Is it for one flower to pine, droop, anddie, or does the other flower sympathize in the misery it has caused its rose? Now, or it will be too late.
DOESHE REPENT? for Whom? Guess.—My answer is a thousand times YES, on one condition, that the rose cast off the thorn. The violet will then be hers for ever. Do trust and have confidence, and the rose shall be happy, for nothing then shall ever separate the violet from “its rose.” Decide quickly, for time presses both, though for exactly opposite purposes. Will not the rose trust and support the “other flower”?
DOESHE REPENT?—There being no answer, it is now too late. Ah, Flower, whose name cannot be told, if thou hadst known the things that were for thy peace thou wouldst have asked forgiveness, ere this, of thy partner Rose. Now for the truth.
YOUASK IF HE REPENTS, he only awaits your initials, or other sufficient proof of your identity, to answer this question. If preferred, address Amiens, P. O., Old Cavendish-street, W.
SPESIN DEO.—RECEIVED.
CANthe Rose be drooping whose thorns wounded the hands that would have tended it? That Rose is now, alas! beyond the reach of those hands, and theyyet fear mischance. But write at once, or advertise more particularly, and a letter will be sent by “Appletree.”
AWEEDon which a Rose has flung fragrance cares nothing for a few scratches. An advertisement, stating that a letter has been addressed to it, in its own real name, at the General Post-office, would delight it. The assumed name is ANTI-CHESTERFIELD.
IF“Arrietta” relented, the horizon would soon brighten; perhaps if all were revealed, she might do this without cause of regret. An oak, far from being uprooted by the passing storm, then proves its power to cherish the yielding and tender vine.—ES—UB.
APRIL10.—Will ARRIETA let me MEET with a mutual friend? All may be well. Everything depends on you. From home this week.—TS—YB.
SOPHIAW . . . . M.—“Ti ho scritto tante volte inutilmente.” What is to be done? Do you wish the letters, &c., published or not? Answer quickly, for time presses. Shall I be more explicit?—Yours, TICHBORN.
XTRIBEX QUIET.—Everything just as suspected, £100 of no use at all; in future at least £500. Plants. Je m’en moque. 3 A 333 BJB.—CYGNE.
A.S.—“Allis right.” I am very sorry that I did so, to cause you uneasiness, and will not again even ask. You know all that words can say—time cannot change. Thus, accept, &c. (and as to which I need not repeat); till then I only say A. S.
XBLUEEYES X.—I protested (in writing), both before and after, against that “Genug für Alles” business. The Moravian March Rose must give “Auskunft” and guarantee £500.—Toes.—CYGNE.
SOPHIAW . . . . . M.—In looking over the MSS. Jouold DISCOVERED the MISSING SLIP written at the hotel, Plymouth; also, “Il mio Tiranno.” All is now ready but the dedication. Which do you think? Father or son!—TICHBORNE.
JEdois et je veux savoir.
TOA. S.—I have seen May 1st (and 8th?) All is right and settled. Words are needless. Be tranquil.
A.S.—Thisis only to thank you for what I have seen. My pleasure is the hope that I interpret rightly the last word but two. Give or get me the earliest permission possible to send the “Enigma;” and, when yousee what was wanting, you will find there was none. I am gone away till the middle of July. I need not say where now. Only one day’s post. J’attends.
MODELLAde 1854!—Ah! voudrai-je n’avoir pas proféré une pétition si facile à concéder, mais dont le refus si inattendu, et l’observation qui l’accompagnait, m’a causé tant de douleur. Le destin un prépare une pélérinage d’outre-Manche; pendant cet exile vos lettres chéries seront mon unique consolation. Si depuis quelque temps elles sont moins démonstratives, je suis sure que vous l’ignorez. Ancor, séparé ou non séparé. “Vi giuro eterna fede.”
DEARA. S.—This time I write first. All is right, &c. You know, &c. Time, &c. Please answer if, and as soon as, you can. All is fixed.—Yours, &c., M.
TOLIDFORD.—15s.in town, besides cab hire (in case of need). In England—35s.per diem, inclusive of hotel (and exclusive of railway) expenditure. To second query, Yes. To third query, No, “as to language.”
VIGIURO ETERNA FEDE! Nothing can ever change me. Séparé ou non séparé, “toujours fidèle” jusqu’à la mort! Dieu vous garde! MODELLA de 1854.
GAS—Tar—Shoes. Shakspeare’s Bust;—Aubert and Klaftenburg;—money for the present;—proposals for the future. I wish to send to you. No inquiry shall be made. Rely. One line by post. Quite broken down. Oh, come.
HEARTSEASE.—Pray be calm. Do not be too eager. All will yet be right. Do you agree to meet, and part no more. Some are foes—find a friend. The flowers in the conservatory, I suppose, bloomed last week. Do not part with anything. Do write. Vale.
HEARTSEASE.—On the brow of the vale. Received with thanks. Agreed as desired, if not too long delayed. Foes I never feared. Friends are sometimes treacherous. I have not forgotten the conservatory. As ever. W.
Y.Z.—Canthere be happiness without confidence? Alas, I see you doubt. It can never be received. It would be entire ruin. Can you sign it? In a month, death or victory.
Y.Z.—Asyou desire. Your sincerity is very satisfactory. Thanks for your faithfulness, it is duly appreciated, and shall be well rewarded. Hope on a little longer. Did you notice Saturday?
X.GAMINSX.—I CANNOT LECTURE at Coventry as contemplated. Although reported in the “Endowed Schools Commission” as receiving £80 per annum, I get but £50, and you know with that without board, &c.—E. J. W., Cygne.

M.R.—E.R. and “not” M. R. worked illicit still third 2 months, 1855, at H. G.—M. R. unknown at “16 or 7.” Landlady at 16, dead. M. R. or E. R., age 20. Query, has E. R. a child 4 or 5 years old?—C. F. Field, Private Inquiry-office, Devereux-court, W.C.
ESPERANZA.—J’attends votre lettre avec impatience. Dites-moi où je dois vous écrire et quand je puis venir. Soyez ferme et tout ira bien. Votre tout dévoué.
ESPERANZA.—Cela ne sera jamais. Ces enfantillages ne m’effrayent pas. Plus que jamais je suis décidé à tout avoir, et une vingtaine de ces lettres injustes et cruelles ne me détourneront pas de mon projet. Vous savez ce que je ferais si vous me faisiez perdre la partie. Vous n’avez qu’à rester fidèle à vos promesses.
ESPERANZA.—J’attends toujours une lettre: si je ne la reçois pas bientôt j’irai vous voir. L’affairemarche bien, mais votre indifférence et votre silence m’ont beaucoup affligés. Votre tout dévoué.
ESPERANZA.—Say how a letter can reach you, and you will receive important information. Address, E. D. V. X., Post-office, Jersey.
ESPERANZA.—Il me semble que vous m’avez tout-à-fait oublié. Pourquoi ne m’avez-vous pas écrit? Au moins, dites-moi où je puis vous écrire. Comme il s’agit maintenant de notre bonheur futur, vous pouviez être un peu moins inconstant. Votre dévoué.
ACT7. V. R. Cap. 30 and 31. Parole.
DECIMALSto CHEOPS.—I have done the State some service, and they know it; but I intend to do a great deal more. Coventry, like Spitalfields, will not assist us; but the form must be gone through. Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.
DECIMALSto CHEOPS.—T. C. JONES, Esq., DIED last year in America. It is exceedingly unfortunate. He and I were the only merchants who thoroughly understood the whole system. Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.
UNDECIDED.—From OLD TOM.
DECIMALSto CHEOPS.—It was the perseverance of one man that sent Lord Bacon to the Tower. Not Coventry, but Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool. Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.
BLUEBELL.—Letters received the 10th. Henceforth I have every confidence—it was only this trial I feared. I have had a dreadful letter from P. Trust no one. Look again 17th. Will try what I can do the other way. Keep up your spirits.—LOCHINVAR.
BLUEBELL.—Your letter received. Your feelings on receipt will tell you mine. Address given will always find. I leave for the continent in a week. Will continue to communicate thus. Never mind the P. S. question. Write when can.—Lochinvar.
ALL’SWRONG, Wrong. From Old Tom. Write.
BLUEBELL.—The genuine, truthful, earnest style of your letters is deeply appreciated. Do not alter it. For C. read J. Two months. L. has and always will have perfect confidence. Keep L. advised as to all movements at head quarters.—Constantia.
CONSTANTIA.—Trust our kind friend (under promise) with all except means of intelligence. Say how grateful I am for kindness to you. Say nothing to T. at present. B. B. could not offend. L.’s confidence and respect increase daily. Have taken measures to frustrate our enemy. Keep aloof from this person. Advise our kind friend to do the same as terrible disclosures impend (not affecting us).—L.
DECIMALSto CHEOPS.—Honest John Bull is pig-headed, but he begins to grasp this business. I claim to rank with Cobden, Bright, and Rowland Hill. I go on. (Long R—— Joey). Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.
BLUEBELL.—Should have written sooner, but am far away. Write as often as can; ’tis all I have to cheer me. Now and then. The person you so much dislike (a Lady) is the enemy alluded to. I am not very friendly with him whose visits you advised me of. Do not let him gain any information from you, and believe nothing he may report. Cheer up. Every confidence. Be cautious.—L.
CONSTANTIA.—Received two. That which has worried you is part of a plan. Heed it not. If that which you allude to is not given it must be done without. Rely upon L’s affection and determination. Who says ’tis for the best? 1st November. The timewill pass, slow as it lags. Were it 10 instead of 2 it would make no change. Pray write soon—tell me of your health. B. B. must be very steadfast, and close ears to the insidious whisperings, which will be continued.—VIOLET.
COLCHESTER.
THECOMET will appear very bright, on Saturday. Look out at Remenham.—Briggs.
G.P—N— G— N—. Mandami il tuo indirizzo, avrò forse bisogno di scriverti. Qualora tu foste ricercato del piccolo B. O. M. ti avverto che coloro che lo Chiedono non sono antorizzati, ne dalla famiglia sua ne dalla madre, e però tu non sei obbligato a dire dove stà.—H.
DECIMALSto CHEOPS.—I have lost my money and my child. You can guess my feelings. Can a lawyer advise a criminal act without rendering himself equally liable? Answer to E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.
VIOLET—3which greatly comforted me. I rate your good taste too high and the individual too low to cause any uneasiness. Would a letter as last be safe? Is our kind friend as well disposed towards me as ever? It would please me much to know this. Well in health, but low in spirits. I was a little uneasy, but am no longer so.—Lochinvar.
BLUEBELL.—Two.—I am deeply grateful, and much happier for the knowledge of * * * * *’s continued kindness and good opinion. You can communicate all except the actual means to her. I do not doubt —— trustworthiness, but a look or a gesture might unwittingly betray, and invoke consequences which would be frightful. Well. Again in a few days. I have so much to say, the loss of the expected means is miserable, though not unexpected.—L.
AUCONTRAIRE, long expected Y O M is not such an uncertain bird that some indications of his flight would not be observable. Have more confidence.
CONSTANTIA.—One.—Your efforts cannot but meet my warmest approbation. One of my dearest hopes was to have shared in this, but trust may help to finish. . . . . .’s kindness, merits, and receives my warmest gratitude—say this from me. Something may be made of the excursion you name. Think, and I will also. The separation from B. B. is becoming unendurable to L. Each day heavier than the last. A meeting must be managed. Well. About 4th November.
SOBE IT, MARIE, God bless you! 10th and 11th if possible, which is earlier than I said, if I am able to leave home. The trial is terrible. You act nobly. You know some dates, please to use them. All’s well. Ever your—.—Nov. 5.
LAURA.—The choice rose has drooped this year—the petals will become dry, but still retain the aroma—some of the branches are a little out of cultivation—the stem is degenerating. The otto from the damask rose will ever retain its fragrance—all extraneous perfumes nauseate. Thanks for the liberal offer, which is gratefully declined. As before.
CONSTANTIA.—Letters have been sent which have not come to your hands. Write and say where one can be sent safely. You may depend on me.
VIOLET.—Great caution is now necessary. L.’s movements are known. Patience and faith. Well. In a few days. Your brother does not wish to offend. London, Nov. 9, 1858.
STANDLYNCH,1811, the Comet: Paris, E. Ct., 1858, the Comet!
BLUEBELL.—Is anything wrong? It seems such a terrible time since I heard. Pray write soon as can. The notice (C) on Tuesday was not mine—V was. There is one kind friend who will do all he can to effect a reconciliation if opportunity offers. I fancy kinder feelings exist towards me than we think. Do write.—London, November 12, 1858.
TWENTY-FIVE.—Ich grüsse dich recht herzlich, und denke nur an dich.
J.S.deceased.—Brentford, C. A.—The Clue.—Bartholomew accepts. The most binding legal engagement will be entered into. Write at once, as last, to Furnival’s-inn, and appoint interview.
LILIAN.—It was not wrong. I had only been doubtful as to the reality. Happiness is yet in store for you. Pray write again and send an address.—C.
B.B.—Areyou unwell, or what is amiss? Nothing since November 2—21 long days. Can any letters have miscarried? My confidence is unshaken, but I fear some terrible calamity. Pray relieve my anxiety, you know how fearful that must be.—LOCHINVAR.
LILIAN.—Forgive me.—I cannot leave you thus. I have much to say of comfort and sympathy, and long for the opportunity. Your better feelings will tell you that Rome is not the only refuge. I beg of you to let me hear at all times when practicable, if the other is at present impossible, and also to withdraw the expression that your determination is irrevocable. You may, indeed, confide in me as in a dear friend or brother. Take courage, and hope for brighter days.—C.
