You know my address. Depend on me.—November 26.990.—Friday, December 3, 1858.FAITH.—You have made me supremely happy. I do rely, and have perfect confidence. You were grossly deceived. Entirely powerless for harm. I accede to everything. Residence is changed. Address as in January. God bless you!991.—Tuesday, December 21, 1858.DEARMARIE.—“Thanks.” “All is well. Semper idem.” Cautious, but quite unchanged by trials. All is quite safe. A gleam appears. The full day is at hand. Your conduct is noble. Refer as I do thus. “God bless you. Ever your own,—.”—Dec. 18.992.—Tuesday, December 21, 1858.NEWYEAR’S DAY.—Remember your promise, its fulfilment would atone for the past, and mitigate the future. I seek no impossible renewal—only my own peace. Urge no commonplaces as to inexpediency, &c.—the heart knoweth its own bitterness. You once confided a dark page of your life’s history to me; can you not trust me now? I never betrayed you. Ignoring “the days that are no more,” we may yet be friends. I hazard all.993.—Saturday, January 1, 1859.THEFIRST INCOME, St. Clement’s.994.—Saturday, January 1, 1859.T.K.—Ihave not yet fallen down the precipice, but still stand trembling on its slippery brink. Alas, who can say that another year will find me thus, now that I have lost your bright example and good advice? Marianne.995.—Monday, January 10, 1859.TOCONTRE-COUP.—I am puzzled what to do with my daughter when I get her. I had the guarantee of a London schoolmistress of 23 years’ standing, and yet she was not safe. You know what happened to my money and papers in the heart of the city of London. I want your advice respecting my salary here; I must be cautious, as you know what happened to me at Greenwich for daring to speak my mind. Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.996.—Tuesday, January 11, 1859.JAN. 6.—Dear A. S.—Receive the full expressions of my zeal ever. Your conduct is noble and constant. I am the same, unbent even by ——, inflexible like you. “All’s well.” Thus point and refer. Yours ever, M.997.—Friday, January 14, 1859.TOHER WHO CAN UNDERSTAND.—Let the flower not droop. It must know that the other flower does sympathize with it. A reply sent to your lines was by some mistake not duly inserted.

My fears have been, are still, of the most painful, even dreadful, kind. God grant they may soon be dispelled. He has, I trust, supported you through all. I have been much tried, and have written for my own relief, but would send all if I could. Many things have forced themselves upon me, spite of my distress. Improvements everywhere, only worth to me for their obvious bearing on the one object I really live for. From the past let us gather strength and hope. I trust nothing in what I sent has disturbed you. God bless you; be true.—Clarence.1001.—Monday, February 7, 1859.TOCONTRE-COUP.—To terminate this disgraceful business, I had made arrangements to place my daughter at school, at Boxmoor, Herts, but I cannot get her. Now, what am I to do? The money I relied on in my old age has been alienated—my child lost for ever—myself in the most miserable part of the land of misery, with a miserable salary.

God bless you.—Clarence.1019.—Friday, March 18, 1859.V.—Idare not believe in the coincidence—the happiness would be too great—yet even you must allow it is very strange. The name cannot pass my lips. “Her eyes are lode-stars, and her breath sweet air.” When last I saw those other stars alone I was plunged in despair. Years have elapsed since then, but the minutest incident is still ever fresh in my memory.—15th March.—J.1020.—Tuesday, March 22, 1859.THEWRITER of the ANONYMOUS LETTER, from London, is informed by Mr. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland, that the money he relied on in his old age has been alienated, both capital and interest, and he will have his daughter sent him by the Limerick steamer.1021.—Saturday, March 26, 1859.TOHER WHO UNDERSTANDS.—It is difficult to believe you really unkind. Pray point out your wishes, and I will do them. Nothing but misery since the 15th ult. North for a few days; afterwards let me arrange with you—if the old faith survives, you will not keep out of the way. Be kind and reply to, Yours ever.1022.—Tuesday, April 5, 1859.HERWHO DOES NOT QUITE UNDERSTAND wishes to do so. Not really unkind. If on the 15th ult. the innocence was proved, why longer doubt?

That which you suggest as a reason for its absence can never happen. Think of it no more, as it is utterly and intirely impossible. I am not surprised at the last news. Confidence. Time flies.

Has such treatment been merited?1056.—Wednesday, August 17, 1859.V.—Ifelt assured there was an error of identity. How could such an injunction apply when I had previously done so and no notice taken of it? For this reason I did not pursue the answer. Stranger coincidences have appeared since then. For myself, I can only say, there is no change. The impression at times seems overcome, but continually returns.—J.—16th August.1057.—Friday, September 2, 1859.EPSOM.—Friends may desert, but I can never change. Hope still lingers, but despair approaches. When that arrives you will know happiness no more. Am I truly spoken of?

It is the last attempt. If you oppose him now, a few days will put it out of his power to do all he desires for you—this is more than can be told. He forgives from his heart, and will never allude to the past. If he has offended, he hopes, alas, to be forgiven. Let him see the child and kiss it. The nurse shall bear the note fixing time and place. Let it be where you now are.1063.—Saturday, September 10, 1859.TOEPSOM.—You are not truly spoken of. When I see you, I will consult with you as to the best way to set matters right. Molehills have been made mountains. I have so much confidence in you I shall never speak or think of the past. Poison against you has been industriously strewed in my path. Forgive. Watch for me at noon. Continue in sight, then I will advance, not otherwise. I know myself too well to intrude.

Was “My dearest Friend” yours, or is it a mere coincidence? I hope your h——’s fears are groundless.1067.—Saturday, September 17, 1859.MYSTERY.—Present conduct very suspicious to him who knows all. It indicates, also, desire to delude, and exhibits all the past professions to have been for some purpose. Meet as ordinary friends whereyou now are, or never in this world. No more “delusion.” No more notes such as “I have been much annoyed,” &c. The Martyr can no longer endure such ungenerous petty insult. It out-Herods all. You shall have justice done you so far as unfounded reports go, but the spirits of departed parents and some respect for self as a man demand that I no longer rest under the false accusations of the ——.

Attendre et espérer je t’en conjure.1069.—Thursday, September 29, 1859.WALES.—“RETURN or WRITE immediately.” This done over and over, but all rejected. “All parties immovable.” These absurd words make me doubt “sincerity.” “Very nervous.” Why so? I will never allude to the past, nor think of it. I forgive all, whatever may have been. Ever study wishes. Sent for letters in real name. Never yet a line. Fear not threats.

Yours faithfully, Antonia.1111.—Monday, September 24, 1860.ADELINE.—Your happiness must be considered.1112.—Thursday, September 27, 1860.J.A.W.—I cannot. Yes, I do very much.

I have ever been, am now, and mean under any circumstances to continue, unchanged and faithful to 9th Nov., 1860. Therefore the vacancy will not and cannot befilled up as you suppose. Think of this in your moments of remorse. I found no letter with yours. I shall not try to find or molest you; but let me write you more fully. I wish you to be happy.—GRUNTLE.1123.—Wednesday, October 17, 1860.BEIDES.—“Have a care.” You are near destruction, but still have friends. Go to the Blackmoor at once, and a kind arrangement will be effected.—E——1124.—Friday, October 19, 1860.B.T.—Youmust come—it is your duty. G—— says so seriously.

Soyez tranquille tout va bien.—Pervi, Luxembourg, 11.1127.—Thursday, October 25, 1860.P.A.C. hopes now for mutual sympathy—time and thoughts work wonders. A reply is asked, though hardly hoped for, saying that certain reports (so quickly spread abroad after I left) might one day turn out truths. The 25th prox. Ever yours.1128.—Monday, October 29, 1860.ALPHA.—Does this vexation proceed from you or from his enemies who employed similar means last May and June? If from you, you will please to cease, or you may see him a few days hence a wanderer, once more, by your fault. Though you imagine him changeable, God will strengthen him not to swerve from the path of honour and conscience respecting M. Z.—Kappa.1129.—Thursday, November 8, 1860.R.E.—Tuesday,the 13th.

VIOLET.—The notice T. C. T. on the 9th was mine. I have cause again to repeat the same. Pray write and say where a letter can be sent to you safely. You know my address. Depend on me.—November 26.
FAITH.—You have made me supremely happy. I do rely, and have perfect confidence. You were grossly deceived. Entirely powerless for harm. I accede to everything. Residence is changed. Address as in January. God bless you!
DEARMARIE.—“Thanks.” “All is well. Semper idem.” Cautious, but quite unchanged by trials. All is quite safe. A gleam appears. The full day is at hand. Your conduct is noble. Refer as I do thus. “God bless you. Ever your own,—.”—Dec. 18.
NEWYEAR’S DAY.—Remember your promise, its fulfilment would atone for the past, and mitigate the future. I seek no impossible renewal—only my own peace. Urge no commonplaces as to inexpediency, &c.—the heart knoweth its own bitterness. You once confided a dark page of your life’s history to me; can you not trust me now? I never betrayed you. Ignoring “the days that are no more,” we may yet be friends. I hazard all.
THEFIRST INCOME, St. Clement’s.
T.K.—Ihave not yet fallen down the precipice, but still stand trembling on its slippery brink. Alas, who can say that another year will find me thus, now that I have lost your bright example and good advice? Marianne.
TOCONTRE-COUP.—I am puzzled what to do with my daughter when I get her. I had the guarantee of a London schoolmistress of 23 years’ standing, and yet she was not safe. You know what happened to my money and papers in the heart of the city of London. I want your advice respecting my salary here; I must be cautious, as you know what happened to me at Greenwich for daring to speak my mind. Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.
JAN. 6.—Dear A. S.—Receive the full expressions of my zeal ever. Your conduct is noble and constant. I am the same, unbent even by ——, inflexible like you. “All’s well.” Thus point and refer. Yours ever, M.
TOHER WHO CAN UNDERSTAND.—Let the flower not droop. It must know that the other flower does sympathize with it. A reply sent to your lines was by some mistake not duly inserted. There will be no delay now, and all may yet be right.
DIENSTAGWAHL.—Nachmittags für sie. Lassen sie mich sie sehen?
O.T.E.—Du muss nur einmal wieder schreiben—die letzte zeit. Denke an dein versprechen; zwei Jahren zu warten, und dann oder wenn du willst komme. Mein herz ist gestorben, &c.
CLOVES.—Thus to address you without having heard a word! I have tried in vain to get news. My fears have been, are still, of the most painful, even dreadful, kind. God grant they may soon be dispelled. He has, I trust, supported you through all. I have been much tried, and have written for my own relief, but would send all if I could. Many things have forced themselves upon me, spite of my distress. Improvements everywhere, only worth to me for their obvious bearing on the one object I really live for. From the past let us gather strength and hope. I trust nothing in what I sent has disturbed you. God bless you; be true.—Clarence.
TOCONTRE-COUP.—To terminate this disgraceful business, I had made arrangements to place my daughter at school, at Boxmoor, Herts, but I cannot get her. Now, what am I to do? The money I relied on in my old age has been alienated—my child lost for ever—myself in the most miserable part of the land of misery, with a miserable salary. Write and address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.
TWOTHOUSAND NINE HUNDRED POUNDS—North-street.

ROSE-COLOUREDSpectacles. Look through them if you would learn the truth.
TOCONTRE-COUP.—My last advertisement to you arrived here yesterday, and I lost two pupils the same day. Oh, Boxmoor! Boxmoor! (vous comprendrez). The author of the decimal system at Her Majesty’s Customs, which pours pure gold every day into the coffers of the nation, earning a miserable subsistence in the worst part of Paddy’s land! “Aux hommes capables la patrie méconnaissante.” Address E.

CLOVES.—Why this mysterious, most painful silence? Pray let me see you soon.—T. T.
CAUTION.—All persons assisting in secreting my daughter, ALICE JANE WILSON, 10 years old, are liable to seven years’ imprisonment.—E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.
VIOLET.—You may still rely. Yes, I will, on the 17th, weather permitting; if not, on the 18th.
CLOVES.—Still silent! I am in great distress of mind about you. This suspense is dreadful—let me not ask in vain for its removal.—CLARENCE.
TRIBE.—You are not to seize my child, even if you can find her. You know how the detectives and police served me; but I intend to have my rights like other men, or—— Vive la Reine.—E. J. WILSON, Ennis, Ireland.
ZOHMOT.—You are informed the second time that you are being duped and deceived in the name of another. Keep away.
CLOVES.—I will agree to anything, if you will only let me write to you at once. I have so much to say. This you must not refuse. God bless you.—Clarence.
V.—Idare not believe in the coincidence—the happiness would be too great—yet even you must allow it is very strange. The name cannot pass my lips. “Her eyes are lode-stars, and her breath sweet air.” When last I saw those other stars alone I was plunged in despair. Years have elapsed since then, but the minutest incident is still ever fresh in my memory.—15th March.—J.
THEWRITER of the ANONYMOUS LETTER, from London, is informed by Mr. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland, that the money he relied on in his old age has been alienated, both capital and interest, and he will have his daughter sent him by the Limerick steamer.
TOHER WHO UNDERSTANDS.—It is difficult to believe you really unkind. Pray point out your wishes, and I will do them. Nothing but misery since the 15th ult. North for a few days; afterwards let me arrange with you—if the old faith survives, you will not keep out of the way. Be kind and reply to, Yours ever.
HERWHO DOES NOT QUITE UNDERSTAND wishes to do so. Not really unkind. If on the 15th ult. the innocence was proved, why longer doubt? Come to my home, and, if honourable, welcome. Duty has called, but not kept me purposely out of the way. Yours sincerely.—April 4, 1859.
NICHTeine MILLION.—If an English school-mistress betrays the most sacred trust a father can confide to her, there is no power in England to right him. So, “Vive la Reine.”—E. J. WILSON, Ennis, April 9.
TWOHUNDRED POUNDS REWARD.—Any person (except a detective or his agent) restoringto me my daughter, ALICE JANE WILSON, 10 years old, shall receive £200 reward.—E. J. WILSON, Ennis, Ireland.

CONSERVETA SANTÉE.—Ma caisse des allumettes est un trésor inappréciable, le feux qu’elle contienne rechauffe mon âme, me guide dans le ténèbre, et remplace si non le soleil enfin, au moins le réflêt de son éclat.

DOUBLE-FINto CONTRE-COUP.—£10,000 sterling. Bah! I claim £250,000 on eggs alone, to say nothing of that costly national antique (Long R. Joey), and on decimals £100,000. Je saurai bien faire valoir (mes droits).—E. J. WILSON, Ennis, Ireland.
ORION’SBOAT. Ready, aye, ready. No more wavering. Thorough.
FAITH.—Thanks. The present news does not accord very well with the protestations so loudly made by him. It is, however, just as I anticipated. It matters not, poor creature, he is quite harmless. All is unchanged. Pray write sooner. Ever.
DOUBLE-FINto CONTRE-COUP.—Down upon lovely Apollo. £30 per annum out of his own pocket. Those who don’t pay in money, pay in person. Address me, E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.
TOB. C. Z.—You don’t know their antecedents (rouge et noir). I have never seen any of my money from the day I nobly signed it away; and I did not see my child for five years, and yet I respected the laws of humanity; and you see the return—I have lost my daughter a second time.—Ennis, 5th May.

AH,bravo—ouvre tombeau—vent absolument vous voir. Ecrivez de suite.
TOB. C. Z.—I have tried those gentleman-like and legal ways recommended me by honest John Bull in anonymous letters, but there is no chance of getting my child that way; so “vivent les imprimeurs.” Address E. J. Wilson, Ireland.
LORELEY.—Keep Bulls for the present. Weed out others at pleasure. No tidings of lost sheep. Mr. T. has destroyed nothing. 98 safe. Alas! poor Mercury. Jun. and Ce. will be of great use against the Marsites. All well.

AHBRAVO! Ouvre tombeau. Une autre fois ne joues pas avec un cœur trop sensible. Tu as déchiré le mien. Dès a présent je suis perdu. La victime c’est moi. Je te pardonne. Que Dieu te bénisse.
FAITH.—It grieved me to hear that you did not see it. Although accidentally misplaced, it was still there, and I hoped you would find it. That which you suggest as a reason for its absence can never happen. Think of it no more, as it is utterly and intirely impossible. I am not surprised at the last news. Confidence. Time flies. Ever.
AHBRAVO! Ouvre tombeau! Si tu as la moindre compassion dans ton âme, écris, ou viens me voir avant mon départ. C’est mon dernier appel; écoutes-le, il est sacré. Ecris.
KING’S-ROAD.
MYdearest ALICE.—I have not received any communication from you for 18 months. Oh! if you knew what persecution your poor Father has had to undergo to try to deprive him of you for ever. Address me, Mr. E. J. WILSON, Ennis, Ireland.
AH,bravo! Ouvre tombeau! Vous trouverez une lettre au même post-office, où tu m’en as adressé plusieurs l’année passée, sous le nom de X. Allez la chercher et tu ne dira plus que je te persécute.
FAITH.—It appears a long time since the last news was received; has anything unusual transpired in the interim? I trust you saw the last. All is well, and the ultimate result is certain, secure, and satisfactory. Never doubt this.—Ever.
TOOvague, and like all else too public. May be ere you get this, and may not be till morning of 7th, 12 o’clock. Do not go out of the house till then. Ifyou call on the strangers or converse with them anywhere, I withdraw. In case you meet them, and miss me, do not go out.
ORION’SBOAT. Paratus.—G. and E.
IUNDERSTAND.—CEASE.
THEHOUSE.—He will never return where suggested by letter, dated 17th July. Pursuit continued without intermission. Firmness and perseverance are well known after seven years. The last request will be scrupulously complied with. Has such treatment been merited?
V.—Ifelt assured there was an error of identity. How could such an injunction apply when I had previously done so and no notice taken of it? For this reason I did not pursue the answer. Stranger coincidences have appeared since then. For myself, I can only say, there is no change. The impression at times seems overcome, but continually returns.—J.—16th August.
EPSOM.—Friends may desert, but I can never change. Hope still lingers, but despair approaches. When that arrives you will know happiness no more. Am I truly spoken of? In sincerity, ever yours.
FAITH.—The last news eminently satisfactory. The change spoken of accords fully with the expectations formed. Rest assured that all is as well as possible, arrangements are perfected, and every contingency prepared for. Away and returned. Address as usual. It is mine. Ever.
TOG.—“Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.”—2 Cor., IV. c., 9 v. T. “write” home.
OURPEOPLE RETURN September 7.
T.W.S.—Il me faut un cœur où je puisse répandre ma peine. Ecris-moi. À toi à jamais, O. W. D.
TOthe HEART of STONE.—Why torture the victim longer? Bright prospects shine if you meet on the instant. He has been ruined over and over in screening you. It is the last attempt. If you oppose him now, a few days will put it out of his power to do all he desires for you—this is more than can be told. He forgives from his heart, and will never allude to the past. If he has offended, he hopes, alas, to be forgiven. Let him see the child and kiss it. The nurse shall bear the note fixing time and place. Let it be where you now are.
TOEPSOM.—You are not truly spoken of. When I see you, I will consult with you as to the best way to set matters right. Molehills have been made mountains. I have so much confidence in you I shall never speak or think of the past. Poison against you has been industriously strewed in my path. Forgive. Watch for me at noon. Continue in sight, then I will advance, not otherwise. I know myself too well to intrude. All as you will.
EXCELSIOR.
EPSOM.—“The Times,” 13th and 14th September instant. On the 13th three—on the 14th two. This is the 19th since——. You can write—I cannot. Your writing will show sincerity, and that the communication was your own.
EPSOMAGAIN.—I hope you are not labouring under the impression that, by advising as I did, I am changed.—God forbid! Was “My dearest Friend” yours, or is it a mere coincidence? I hope your h——’s fears are groundless.
MYSTERY.—Present conduct very suspicious to him who knows all. It indicates, also, desire to delude, and exhibits all the past professions to have been for some purpose. Meet as ordinary friends whereyou now are, or never in this world. No more “delusion.” No more notes such as “I have been much annoyed,” &c. The Martyr can no longer endure such ungenerous petty insult. It out-Herods all. You shall have justice done you so far as unfounded reports go, but the spirits of departed parents and some respect for self as a man demand that I no longer rest under the false accusations of the ——. Farewell.
TWENTY-FIVE.—Près de toi c’est la vie, loin de toi c’est mourir. Attendre et espérer je t’en conjure.
WALES.—“RETURN or WRITE immediately.” This done over and over, but all rejected. “All parties immovable.” These absurd words make me doubt “sincerity.” “Very nervous.” Why so? I will never allude to the past, nor think of it. I forgive all, whatever may have been. Ever study wishes. Sent for letters in real name. Never yet a line. Fear not threats. No future tales, whether true or groundless, will annoy me. Your father and mother are better.
ROMANSXII. 9.
TO— ——.—Can’t you recognize a quotation from your own letter? I often think “of that pretty but affecting tale of,” &c. No, not to the last address, but the previous one.
V.—Prèsde toi c’est la vie, loin de toi c’est mourir. Most strange to read one’s own inmost thought and yearning thus syllabled forth by another, like a dream told back to the dreamer! Daily and hourly I repeat to myself those words: but alas! for me, la vie court vite, c’est la mort qui dure, et j’attends sans espérer.—J.
K——POTT. Sploce. Lak. The Mutability!
MARIA.—Dear Wife. I am well. “Good night.” “All’s well.”—EDWARD.
MARIA.—That is done; give me a name, and I will write to the old address. “Good night; all’s well.”—EDWARD.
MARIA.—It is done. Give me a name. I will write to the old address. I am well, dearest. “Good night, all’s well. Ever yours, EDWARD.
HANDOBLIVISCENDUM.—Acknowledged £20.—4th Nov., 1859.
MARIA.—You have done most wisely. Always do the same. “Good night, all’s well.” Yours ever, EDWARD.
MARY.—Is it safe to write to you, and to direct as I did the last? “Good night, all’s well.” Your ever affectionate Husband.
LIVERPOOL.—Why not? ill, not Monday. Write.
FAITH.—The acquaintance is of the slightest, and conversation on such matters is out of the question. The difficulties and evils are fully understood. Does the P. S. concern the affair named some time back? Only five. Ever.
AUSTRALIA:Emy: Write: Toby.
TO“I AM GOING HOME.”—Give me your address. Confidence is felt. You have not been avoided. Our business is settled at your pleasure. All orphan’s difficulties can be dispelled if true friends rally round and help with kind encouragement and explanation.—Dec. 30, 1859.
J.K.—Alas,no improvement since last year. I am still lingering on the brink of the precipice, notwithstanding “Stick no Bills” and all the kind advice which was then given. A happy new year to you.—MARIANNE.
TOPof the HILL.—14.—Thank God! Wish to take leave of that growing 14. It may turn saucy. But Patience shall be a duty.
EXOTIC.—This is final. I have suffered greatly, yet admire your fidelity and strength of character. May you never repent it. Good-bye, God bless you.—FRANK Dody.
ROSELEAVES.
FAITH.—Ninety-nine instead of one hundred and fifty-two. A LETTER AWAITS you as before. Ever.
EMERGENT.—F. D.
TOthe INNOCENT.—Yes, on the instant. It cannot be after. Your manner and ways, coupled with the truly absurd stories of the past, have made you appear (to those not knowing you) other than you are. Would that all the world was as amiable, virtuous, and good. Your FRIEND.
THELark they may prison, but her SPIRIT is risen, and soars to its own native Skies.—WRITE, instrict confidence, to Reciprocal, care of X. Y., 58, York-street, Dublin.
TOPOF THE HILL.—14th Anniversary.—I saw it. She suffers real want. She must make another effort to move. The most trifling help is valuable in such distress. She says that patience, faith, resignation, are sacred duties.
GLEN.—SPECKLED FOWLS, buya—buy my mackerel!
RENT.—RECEIVED YOURS; have long left town for my musical duties, the salary for which hardly permits constant advertising; therefore you must contrive how I can write to you. Your advice and convictions are equally excellent; still the days of “manna” descending have ceased. Remember advice regarding your health. Mr. Expert, ever your own fondly and eternally, Sophy.
REFLECT!—Remember,I live still. Has been joyfully received. Where can I meet you or write? God bless you.
E.V. E. R. Y.—Not punishable.
NELLAbruna la costanza!
NINTH.—Would it be safe to do so? Great caution requisite.—Y——.
WASHINGTONFRIEND APPROACHES LONDON.
A.andE.—You do me an injustice to say that I am tampering with you. Your kind notes were duly acknowledged. The first was destroyed “unopened” (?). The second was returned. Though I may never have the happiness of seeing you again the memory of the past will supply the tide-flow of joy. Farewell.
PAIRthe ARABIC NUMERALS; placing their like tens, for the Districts; in the same line; and their like units, for the Guilds; in the same column. By this chessboard arrangement, the hundred pairs will be sections of a Phalanx, common to both.—T. F.
A.andE.—You do me an injustice to say I am tampering with you. Your kind notes were duly acknowledged. The first was destroyed “unopened.” The other was returned. Vide theTimes, May 24. N.B. These vowels “A. E.” may be adopted by a third rival party for the purpose of misleading through falsehood, but the true vowels “U. and I.” being relatives, will not be deceived by capital letters or capital hoaxers. The wise accept only as true evidence hand-writing, signature, and seal.
N.D.—Couldnot succeed on ——. You know ——. Hope better fortune.—WRITE.

ANTONIA.—Circumstances which appear adverse sometimes prove favourable, and the faith I hold will not permit me to lose hope. Yours truly, Annie.
THANKS.—I am, since Tuesday, in the W. C. B. H., and I shall, probably, remain until you tell me to leave. I have been everywhere. One little garden is the only one well looked after.

J.A.W.—I cannot. Yes, I do very much. Thursday or Friday, at 4, at old place.

M.H.(Omega).—From justice and friendship you owe me some explanations respecting the calumnies emanating from Newcastle, in order that I may be enabled to defend myself in future against similar aspersions, though (as a Christian) I may not be allowed to retaliate. Your letter shall be answered immediately.—Kappa.

ISABEL.
DEARESTBEIDES.—VISIT the BLACKMOOR at once, and all will be arranged, and write to London Club. Mother very ill.
E——N.—I learn from Mrs. L., that you are the victim of a foul conspiracy and gross delusions. I have ever been, am now, and mean under any circumstances to continue, unchanged and faithful to 9th Nov., 1860. Therefore the vacancy will not and cannot befilled up as you suppose. Think of this in your moments of remorse. I found no letter with yours. I shall not try to find or molest you; but let me write you more fully. I wish you to be happy.—GRUNTLE.
BEIDES.—“Have a care.” You are near destruction, but still have friends. Go to the Blackmoor at once, and a kind arrangement will be effected.—E——

P.A.C. hopes now for mutual sympathy—time and thoughts work wonders. A reply is asked, though hardly hoped for, saying that certain reports (so quickly spread abroad after I left) might one day turn out truths. The 25th prox. Ever yours.
ALPHA.—Does this vexation proceed from you or from his enemies who employed similar means last May and June? If from you, you will please to cease, or you may see him a few days hence a wanderer, once more, by your fault. Though you imagine him changeable, God will strengthen him not to swerve from the path of honour and conscience respecting M. Z.—Kappa.

There is no personal news, except that, through delay in receipt of letter from consulate, I am unable to return and enter de T.

How much I wish I could be of some service to you!—Your ever, T.
