There are many of these ia our mind's eye when we pa these few lines. Nome of them came te our townships ia the days of theic best manhood ; yet from many causes are stranded on the low groand of impecuni- osicy. We have several cases all around ua There is po roid Mr. Smith and his aged partaer, who are obj-cta of pity. Mr. Smith was born in Warwickshire, Eig,in 1813 and his partner through _life was born the previens year. If Lord or Lady Byron vowt-only--«ee ther old servants GOV ia their extremity, 1 might say in passing that Me. Smith was garden- er for Lady Byron in his young days, and still hoids the family in high respect. Readers will remember that Luty~By:oa's maiden name was Millbank, a daughter of Lord Millbank's, Shades of Lord Byron, Eoglana's beloved bard! To think his old servsnt has yot cast aside in America, to live or die for all a heartless world cares, Mr. Smith came to Blenheim 44 years cince and has lived nearly con- tinuously in the tovnship ever since. There are msny others I would wist to pint out, but space will not permit. Men of Oxford, open your hearts and unloose your purse strings hy miking « home for. such deserving old settlers.
