I also return your photograph and the letters you have written me during the past lit e years, Will you kindly return mine? And this brief iiud bcautifa! experience is to end and each of us mus( go his own way heieafter. Alas! To you this may be easy, but it brings a pang tu my heart which your gentle let ter of the 1st. inst. eanmit wholly alleviate. Whenever hereafter you look upon this tear-speckled pass will you not (biiik of me? Remember lhat you have east me from )oU and tb.it I am wandering across the bleak and wind-swept plains Badly enume rating the tics on my way to eternity. 1 do not say this to reproach you. for I fear that you eaie for another, and so we c nib hot luhappy togciher. I!ul, oh! do yuu pause to fully comprehend the pang it costs me to return this plcasaul-faced litt'e piss with iis conditions on its back? C-inld yuu see me even now, as I write, llie-e lines, turning away ever ami anon, laying aside my trembling p"ti to go and sit by the gnite and shudder and we 'p and pat out the lire with my bitter tears, your heal t would soften and you would say; ' lie turn, ( ) waudi rer, return!" You do not say in your letter 1 have been false to you or that I have evil- crown coll. You do u it charge hie with inti ib liiy or failure lo provide. You simply say that it would be b-tter for each to go his s "Ver.-il ways, forgelling that iny several ways are pas-ing away, passing away. It is all well enough fur you to talk about gtiino your several ways. Y'ou have every j facility for doing so, but with in ; it is dill'-1 erttil. Several years ago a laige North, western cyclone and inyst.ll' tiicd to pass each other on the same track. lieu the wr ckioti crew found me I was in the crotch of a butternut tree, with a broken leg. Since lhat time I have walked with L'rcat dilliciilly. and to go my several ways has been a very serijus matter with me. Hut 1 do not want you to think that I am murmuring. 1 accept my iluoin calm ly , yet wiih a slight tinge of unavailing, re oict.

How sad (o see (he an nual pass cut down in life's young morninii. ere one tourlli of ils race has been run' How toiiehlul to pari from it forever! What a sad year this has been so far! Earthipiakes, fires, storms, railway di-asl-tcrs and death in every form have visited oar country, and now, like the Idling blasts from Siberia, or the nipping; frosts from Manitoba, conies (ho Congressional cut -worm, cutting oil' the early crop of flowering animals just us (hey hud budded to bloom into beauty ami usefulness!
