920.--_Friday, January 1, 1858._
TO T.--After the letter, do not for a moment suppose that I could make
use of his house, money, or connexion. I adhere to mine of yesterday.
The sacrifice you shall have to make will be the truest test of your
sincerity--therefore, pause.--N. and H.
921.--_Saturday, January 9, 1858._
M. D.--My meaning has not been clearly expressed. You have entirely
misunderstood the feelings that actuated me. I, too, have resolved to do
wonders, but it all ends as described.
922.--_Thursday, February 4, 1858._
X. CHEOPS X.--As agreed, I have tried again to earn an honest living,
and I earn about one-half as much as foreigners, and I see nothing but
poverty and misery for myself and child.--Ciphering--decimals,
999.--CYGNE.
923.--_Wednesday, February 10, 11, 12, 1858._
DOES HE REPENT? To Him who can Understand.--Is it for one flower to
pine, droop, and die, or does the other flower sympathize in the misery
it has caused its rose? Now, or it will be too late.
924.--_Saturday, February 13, 1858._
DOES HE REPENT? for Whom? Guess.--My answer is a thousand times YES, on
one condition, that the rose cast off the thorn. The violet will then be
hers for ever. Do trust and have confidence, and the rose shall be
happy, for nothing then shall ever separate the violet from “its rose.”
Decide quickly, for time presses both, though for exactly opposite
purposes. Will not the rose trust and support the “other flower”?
925.--_Monday, February 15, 1858._
DOES HE REPENT?--There being no answer, it is now too late. Ah, Flower,
whose name cannot be told, if thou hadst known the things that were for
thy peace thou wouldst have asked forgiveness, ere this, of thy partner
Rose. Now for the truth.
926.--_Monday, February 15, 1858._
YOU ASK IF HE REPENTS, he only awaits your initials, or other sufficient
proof of your identity, to answer this question. If preferred, address
Amiens, P. O., Old Cavendish-street, W.
927.--_Tuesday, February 23, 1858._
SPES IN DEO.--RECEIVED.
928.--_Wednesday, March 10, 1858._
CAN the Rose be drooping whose thorns wounded the hands that would have
tended it? That Rose is now, alas! beyond the reach of those hands, and
they yet fear mischance. But write at once, or advertise more
particularly, and a letter will be sent by “Appletree.”
929.--_Saturday, March 13, 1858._
A WEED on which a Rose has flung fragrance cares nothing for a few
scratches. An advertisement, stating that a letter has been addressed to
it, in its own real name, at the General Post-office, would delight it.
The assumed name is ANTI-CHESTERFIELD.
930.--_Saturday, April 10, 1858._
IF “Arrietta” relented, the horizon would soon brighten; perhaps if all
were revealed, she might do this without cause of regret. An oak, far
from being uprooted by the passing storm, then proves its power to
cherish the yielding and tender vine.--ES--UB.
931.--_Wednesday, April 14, 1858._
