Indeed, your weekly visits, made with such unbroken regularity, and always bringing one an item or two of news having to do with some place or person. that one used to know in days long gone by, or telling of some remarkable discovery in sci. ence, or relating to some curious bit of history, and ignoring everything trite or unseemly, have .more than once made me ashamed of my long silence. What a wonderful thing is that law of mind which is known as the Law of Association, or at least used to be thus known in those days when Sir Wm, Hamilton's Lectures on Metaphysics, or McCosb's Insti- tutions of Thought, or Dugald Stewart's Philosophy of the Active and Moral Powers, or some similar treatises were found in the curri- culum of every respectable Univer- sity for the education of English- speaking people. Yes, indeed, it is a marvellous law, for by its opera- tion the sight or sound of a name, or the perfume of a flower, or a glance at a landscape, or something else equally common and insigni. ficant will bring back to the mind hosts of events which had almost passed Irom onc's memory alto Thus, a short time. ago L saw the name Coryell in a Toronto papesy. and at once there passed before. wy mind's eye strings of |r igh. lad with aad Eldon,' stopping for the horses, to be watered and the drivers fo be warmed at Coryell's hotel at the Nonquon, and then going on to Prince Albert to leave their loads of grain at George Currie's or.
