Excerpt from Last Gleanings He left the Colony without the health for which he sought its Shores. He started and edited a newspaper in London; he wrote for the London daily press and other first-class English periodi cals he published two or three little books which our most fastidious critics praised; he founded the London Library Company, became its first secretary, and just when it began to flourish, he died - only thirty years Of age - his naturally weak and sickness-shattered frame completely worn out by work. He left a clearly beloved wife and young family almost unprovided for, in spite Of all his efi'orts to secure their comfort. It is for their sake that these Last Gleanings from his desk have been garnered. How he loved his home, and those who made it home, may be guessed from the following extract from a series Of 'etchings' he wrote for his newspaper.

Excerpt from Gleanings From a Gathered Harvest It has been frequently asked, What is the cause of the increase of pauperism in our cities?

Excerpt from Golden Gleanings: A Select Miscellany The following pages embrace a variety of short, interesting Anecdotes, Sketches, &c., which will be found, it is believed, to be adapted to fostering an appetite for solid and profitable reading. Much of the matter here presented has been gleaned from the columns of 7725 Traci Repaying/f and lays no claim to originality or to literary merit.

It is believed, however, that the real value of the moral or religious lessons of instruc tion inculcated, will be found to far outweigh any imperfections of style or objectionable modes of expression, which may be noticed to exist.

Excerpt from Gleanings by the Way I ran to many things that were wild, Which God's law does forbid. And when I became a man, I still followed the road of sin, Which led me to the devil's hand; Thus I did my manhood begin. When a child about two or three, My mother did me begin To teach me my A, B, C About He who died to save from sin. But not being a mental scholar, And loving to follow in sinful mirth The devil captured my mind as his fallow, As sin was sown in my nature from my birth. Thus I lived in years of sinful pleasure Until I was about thirty-eight; Drinking in the gall without measure, Until a very few years of late. Now when I am fifty years of age, Not possessing one earthly dollar, I come the truths of the Gospel to engage, Not spending one hour as a mental scholar.

Excerpt from And Gleanings If one soul similarly situated shall gain one helpful, comforting thought from my experience, while passing through the deep waters of physical and mental suffering, I shall not have suffered in vain, neither shall I have written in vain.

Excerpt from Wayside Gleanings for Leisure Moments Without looking at the face of the heart less man, we directed him to the house of a neighboring pastor, and returned to our nursery. We gazed on the merry little faces which smiled or grew sad in imitation of ours, - those little ones to whose ear no word in our language is half so sweet as mother, - and we wondered if that day could ever come when they could say of us, She has outlived her usefulness; she is no comfort to herself, and a burden to every body! And we hoped before such a day would dawn we might be taken to our rest. God forbid that we should outlive the love of our children! Rather let us die while their hearts are a part of our own, that our grave may be watered with their tears, and our love linked with their hopes of heaven. When the bell tolled for the mother's burial, we went to the sanctuary to pay our token of respect for the aged stranger, for we felt that we could give her memory a tear, even though her own children had none to shed.
