who whether from their lowly hed they rise or rest the weary bead do weigh the blessing they in treat from heaven and feel what they repeat while they give utterance to the prayer that asks for daily bread the general and his lady concluded from our last- j with regard to aceomplishme its she knew what was commonly taught in a country school above twenty years ago and nothing more r hayed ti urar tftrt a little talked a little indifferent french painted shells arid roses not particular ly like nature on card racks and hand screens danced admirably and was the best player at battledore and shut tlecock huntthesipper and blind- manvbuff in the county nothing could exceed the glee with which in any family where she was intimate she would join the children in a game ol rompe herself the gayest and happiest child of the party for cards she had no genius even the noise and nonsense of a round table could not reconcile her to those bits of painted pasteboard this was unlucky it is true that the general who played a good rubber and looked upon it next to a review or a battle as the most se rious business of his life and who had moreover a settled opinion that no wo man had intellect enough to master the game would hardly have wished to have been her partner at the whisttable but he also loved a snug party at piquet ust to keep him awake after dinner and would have liked exceedingly that mrs sanford should have known enough of the rules to become a decent antagonist he was not unreasonable in his expectations he did not desire that she should play well enough to win he only wanted her to understand suf ficient of the game to lose in a credita ble manner but it would not do she was unconquerable stupid never dealt the right number of cards never show ed uer point was ignorant even of the common terms of the art did not know a quart from a quint or a pique from a rerjimte nnm n wf nnav nv cadetted there was no comfort in beating her so the poor general was fain to accept his old brigademajor as a substitute who gave him three points and beat him in other respects she was an excel lent wife gentle affectionate and sweet- tempered she accommodated herself admirably to all the generals ways lis tened to his admonitions with deference and to his stories with attention the formidable one beginning when i was in antigua not excepted was kind to the old brigademajor and when he a confirmed old bachelor joned his patron in certain dissertations on the natural inferiority of the sex heard them patiently and if she smiled took good care they should not find her out to be sure her carelessness did oc casionally get her husband into a scrape once for instanee when he being in specting certain corps twenty miles off she undertook to bring his dress clothes for the purpose of attending a ball giv en in his honour and forgot his new in expressibles thereby putting the poor general to the trouble and expense of senng an ixpress after the missing garment and keeping him a close pri soner till midnight in expectation ofthe return of his messenger another time he being london and the trusty ma jor also absent she was commissioned to inform him of the day fixed for a grand review sate down for the pur pose wrote a long letter full of chit chat and he could not abide long let ters never mentioned military affairs and on being reminded of her omission crammed the important intelligence into a crossed postscript under the seal which the general with his best specta cles could not have deciphered in a month so that the unlucky commander never made his appearance on the ground and but for a forty years repu tation for exactness and punctuality which made any excuse look like truth would have fallen into sad disgrace at headquarters in process of time however even hose little errors ceased she grew tan and her mind developed itself with ner person still lively ardent and raer- curia in her temperament with an un tiring spirit of life and motion and a passionate love of novelty and gaiety her playfulness ripened into intelligence her curiosity became rational and her delight in the country deepened iito an intense feeling of the beauties of nature thrown amidst a large and varying cir cle she became in every laudable sense ofthe phrase a perfect woman of the world before a change in the vo lunteer system and a well merited pro motion took the general from b she had learned to manage her town vtsits and her country visits to arrange soirees and dinner parties to give balls and to plan picnics and was the life and charm of the neighbourhood i would uoteven be sure that she had not learn ed piquet for lovely as she was and ma ny as thete were to tell her that she was lovely her husband was always her first object and her whole conduct seem ed guided by the spirit of that beautiful line in the most beautiful of ballads for auld robin grays been a gud man to me since his death for she has bee long a widow lady sanford have i not said that the good general became sir thomas before his disease has lived mostly on the continent indulg ing but always with the highest repu tation her strong taste for what is gay est in artificial life and grandest in na tural scenery i have heard of he sometimes amongst the brilliant crowds of the roman carnival sometime amidst the wildest recesses of the py renees now looking down the crater of vesuvius now waltzing at a court ball at vienna she has made a trip te ahens and has talked of attempting the ascent of mont blanc at pre sent she is in england for a friend of mine saw her the other day at the cowes regatta full of life and glee al most as pretty as ever and quite as de lightful of coarse being also a well dowered and childless widow she has had lovers by the hundred and offers by the score but she always says that she has made up her mind not to marry again and i have no doubt of her keep ing her resolution she loves her li berty too dearly to part with the bles sing and well as she got on with sir thomas i think she has had enough of matrimony besides she has now reached a sedate age and there would be a want of discretion which hitherto she
