Yes Mary, I will sing for thee, And touch my trembling harp, With friendship's sweetest notes of love, The language of the heart. Mary, e'er dear and cherished name, Oh, how the heart is sinned, And every fibre seems to thrill, When that sweet name is heard. Virgin, angels purity, Is treasured in the sound; And leads the soul, to that bright sphere, Where hob lbinzs abound ! Who dees not love that Hebrew name, That dear, sweet name—Mary; In every land and tongue 'tie heard— Mary, Maria, Marie. The name is sacred—and it seems, Composed of peace and love; 'Tis held most dear upon the earth, And sung by choirs above. Mary, since thou hest got the name, That all revere and love; Live so, that thou mayest after death, Dwell in the courts above. DECEIT.—No. The vilest thing upon the earth, Is friendship veiled in black deceit ; The demon that betrays his friend, DI not for earth or heaven meet : But should descend to regions, where— Wild soulless fiends and demons are ! LIFE.—No. Our lives are declining, we're hastening away, Dark shadows are gathering thick o'er our way Each moment that passes, reminds us of death, And tells us how fleeting is life—but a breath. Are life and time fleeting so rapidly ?—Yes, Each beat of the pulse leaves the number still m Each moment that passes away to th. zeoom. Beare tb...leand. 0r....c,as away to the tomb : Though thousands may spring into life, in a day. Still as time passes on, they'll be borne away; Thus alternately &dug from life to the tomb, Is the fate of all living, man's general doom. To S.—Yo. IV Whose oherubims and seraphime, Proclaim their songs of love ; And sing the great Redeemer's praise, And shout Jehovah—Jove : Oh, there your loved ones dwell in peace Where endless pleasures never cease' • THE HOSE.—No. V. Within a garden's narrow bound, A freshly blooming rose I ound; I thought, it did resemble those, Whose lives were happy, free from woes I went again, and found it then, A withered fragment nn the stem ; .1. thought, it then, resembled those, Who perish early, like the rose. . LINES.—No. My heart is sad I'M her that's gone, My dear, kind sister in the tomb ; She smiled so sweet in time of yore, She smiled her last, she'll smile no more' EMERALD RING.—No. 7. o .lt is'a gem which hath the power to show— If plighted lovers keep their faith or no : If faithful, it is like the leaves of Spring, If faithless, like those leaves when withering Thus says tradition's hotiry page, The record of a by-gone age ; Ah, Emerald Ring, host thou the power, To tell of love's belated hour ! Can'st thou thus tell if weal or woe, Will follow lovers here below NEW PROVJDENCE, 1856. SPEECH OF HON. WILLIAM B. REED FELLOW CITIZENS-4. am here this eve ning by the kind invitation of your commit tee. lam here under the generous and comprehensive call of your meeting,—and I am here With as strong a wish as animates any one within the Sound of my voice that the ticket nominated at Cincinnati may be successful. In coming here, lam conscious of no separation from ancient friends or from existing political organizations, for the great party with which I have solely acted is practically extinct. No one stood by it longer than I did. Those who would now prostitute its name for other uses, (and even that is hardly pretended,) have no claim on my fidelity, and those who, without a change of feeling or opinion on any great principle of government, think there is something more sacred than a tra ditionary party name—they—and there are thousands such around us and amongst us —who, on the great question as to whose hands the trust of our Executive govern ment shall be confided for the next four years, will come with me and vote with you. -I am glad to be among the first of the great conservative party of this city, thus publicly to avow adhesion to the candi dates of the National Democracy. It may be, lam taking a hazardous step. It may be a sacrifice: But, be it what it may, no one shall say it is a half-way, timid, hesi tating . step—or that now, after a life of very decisive politics, I hesitate to do that which- every sentiment of loyalty to the . Constitution, of clear duty to my native State and to my native city, prompts.— Thus feeling, thus speaking, thus willing to act--coming too as a private and undis tinguished citizen, with no ends to gain, no aspiration to gratify, I consider I shall be welcome, But I have a special and a local object in being here to-night, and wish that what I say could reach every man of business in. the community, for, on the ground of mere local interest, I can demonstrate which side Philadelphia ought to take in the issue now before the people. Shall the capital of Pennsylvania, this metropo lis so often postponed, so much overshad owed, cast its influence and cast its vote —is it wise, is it patriotic, is it politic for it to throw its vote against a Pennsylvania candidate for the Presidency ? Especially is it wise to do so when the vote would in all probability, be cast in favor of a prin ciple of sectionalism against which Phila delphia has always arrayed itself? With aggressive sectionalism in any form, .this City of the Constitution never has had, and never can have communion, and I cherish the hope that, if Philadelphia here after•,.finds herself obliged to choose be- 5 tween a merely Abolition cause in a n y form or guise, and the National party which knows no higher law than the Constitution, and makes its principles conservative of the Union, her citizens will come forward to the support of Mr. Buchanan with as zealous and hearty a will, as I feel it my duty to do now. Temporary and national excitements may have their influence of delay, but the ultimate result is certain. When Mr. Buchanan was last here, return ing from public service to his home, the politicians barred the door against him.— No welcome greeted him from official lips. But the men of business, the merchants of Philadelphia took the duty in their own hands. They thanked him for his effort , to maintain peace, add with it the interests of commerce and peaceful industry. To them he spoke words of genial gratitude and of conservative counsel—and they now feel, differing as they may from him politically, that the interests of the Nation are safe in his hands. He stands before us too a man of irreproachable private character. If during the canvass abont to begin, Mr. Buchanan maintains, as I am sure he will, his attitude of dignified mod eration, of admonitory reserve to all who from any quarter urge a contra-ultraisin, —if he continues to stand as he now does before the nation the type of conservative • statesmanship, with no abatement of fidelity to the great party who in honoring him, rf honors itself, I, as one of its humblest cit izens, invite him back to Philadelphia to a new and heartier welcome. I shall be glad to see a Pennsylvania President wel comed in Independence Hall. This matter of State pride, this local exultation in honors renderdd to our own public men, must not be looked on as an illusionary sentiment. Your distinguished guests to-night, from other States, will not think the worse of us for indulging it. It , is that which has made Virginia the Moth 'er of Presidents. She.nurses her children like a loving mother,- and does not bind them out or cast them off without cure as to what becomes of them. It was that which made Massachusetts cling to Mr. Webster ; North Carolina to William Gas ton ; and South Carolina to Mr. Calhoun and her other honored son, Win. Lowndes, ( a representative from Carolina, whom it was her pride to send to the Halls of Congress, men of peaceful, gentle chival ry,) and which bound Kentucky, by devo tion that never abated, to Mr. clay. And ; now, whop for the first time for seventy years, a Pennsylvania Statesman is named for the highest honor in the Nation's gift, have we not a right, nay, is it not our du ' ty to avow the throbbing of the same pure sentiment in our hearts If the habit of easy self-sacrifice, the readiness to be con , tent with small honors and subordinate offices which has been so long the discredit and shame of Pennsylvania, if all this have not chilled to absolute indifference every natural emotion of honest pride in our bo som, this commonwealth will speak out for her honored son in tones which will not soon die away in silence—and from no part, if her feelings and opinions on points of public policy be moderately respected, will there be a stronger and heartier u tter ance than from this her Whig metropolis. But there is an actual political signifi cancy in these nominations, that of Mr. Breckinridge, as well as that of the Presi dent, as respects locality, that cannot be overlooked. It is no extreme of territory that furnishes the candidates. They cotue from the Middle States, from the very cen tre of the Union, for Kentucky, strictly speaking, is no longer a Western State.— They are the representatives of that cen tral band which encircles the Union, and which, if ever the Union is severed, must break asunder in ragged edges to tear and wound by the animosity of frontier warfare. Kentucky and Pennsylvania, though with different social institutions, are of the same political parallel of moder ation on all national questions, and of un wavering fidelity to the Constitution and the Union. Pennsylvania is one of the Old Thirteen, and Kentucky is their old est child—at least their first-born beyond the Allegheny mountains. The beautiful river which washes the shores of Kentucky and on which floats the friendly commerce of so many united States, is formed of Pennsylvania streams Fanaticism has not, and never has had, a . foot-hold in Pennsylvania, except,, perhaps, near the New York line, or on the edge of the West ern Reserve, and Kentucky has never sent a child of her honored soil into the coun cils of the nation, whose acts or words gave pain, or alienated the hearts of pat riotic men, however sensitive, either from the South or the North. The candidates thus selected have a high mission. They have immediate constituencies who have trained them in the school of Constitutional loyalty; and that mission, as I religiously hope, (and for this I look to Mr. Buchan an's election with unbounded confidence,) is to put an end, by wise and decisive counsel, and by administrative discretion, once and forever, to that sectional agita tion which has so long afflicted and per ' plexed this nation. What a priceless blessing it will be to have an administra— tion for four years, during which, by the mere force of example, no word of acrimo ny shall be uttered on the subject of do mestic slavery, and the nation's evil pas sions may be at rest. These, my fellow citizens, are some of the reasons which influence my judgment and conduct now. They are not meant to be obtrusively uttered anywhere, or to be offensively urged on those who may think differently frem me. There are other top ics rather relating to the past than to the future I should be glad to speak of, but this is not the fit occasion. On them, and especially on the anti-republicanism of se cret political organizations, in my views are well known, for I spoke them long ago, when, as now, timid counsellors advised silence. On all public matters, I am apt to feel strongly and to speak decisively; but I have sought in what I have said to night, to utter no word to give pain or ex cite unpleasant feeling anywhere. I have tried to feel and speak, on a great question of political interest, as an American pub lic man should think and speak, and from the bottom of my heart, Mr. President and fellow citizens, I thank you for the oppor tunity you have just given me of speaking out what I really believe will be, if it is not now, the true policy of Philadelphia.

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TITEA)AY MORNING, JULY 1, 1856. LETTERS TO MOTHERS, ON EARLY CULTURE OF THEIR CHILDREN Who can compute the value of the first seven years of life ! Who can tell the strength of impressions made ere the mind is pre-occupied or perverted ! Especially, if in its waxen state it is/Softeued by the breath of a mother, will not the seal which she stamps there, resist the mutations of time when the light of this sun and moon are quenched and extinct ? We are counseled on this point by the humblest analogies. 'The husbandman wakes early. He scarcely waits for the breath of Spring to unbind the soil ere he marks out the furrow. If he neglected to prepare the ground, he might as well sow his seed by the way side or upon the rock. If he deferred the vernal toil the summer suns were high, what right would he have to expect the harvest or the winter store? Is the builder of a lofty and magnificent edifice careless of its foundations, and whether its columns are to rest upon a quicksand or a quagmire ? And should the maternal guardian of an immortal being be less anxious, less skilful, less scrupu lous than the husbandman or artificer in brick and stone ? Shall the imperishable gem of the soul be less regarded than the "wood, hay and the stubble," that mould-, cr and consume around it ? Mothers, take into your own hands the early instruction of your children. Com mence with simple stories from the scrip tures, +l-.o nvlnela nr• hiatnry. from your observation of mankind. Let each illustrate some moral or relig ious truth, adapted to convey instruction, reproof or encouragement, according to yonr knowledge of the disposition of your beloved students, care and study may be requisite to select, adapt and simplify.— But who can do this so patiently as a mother, who feels that her listening pupil is a part of herself I Cultivate in your children tenderness of conscience, a conviction that their conduct must be regulated by study, and not by impulse. Read to them books of instruc tion, selected with discrimination, or wake use of them as tests for your own commen tary. In your teachings of religion avoid all points of sectarian difference, and found the morality you inculcate on the scripture of truth. Give one hour every morning to the instruction of your children—au un divided Lour to them alone. Ere they re tire, secure, if possible, another portion of equal length, review ,vhat has been learned throughout tLe day. Recall its deeds, its faults, its sorrows, its blessings to deepen the great lessons of God's goodness, or to soothe the little heart into sweet peace with Him and all the world ere the eyes close in slumber. Let the simple music of some evening hymn, and words of contri tion and gratitude, close the daily inter course with your endeared pupils, and see if this system does not render them doub ly dear. The mother who is thus assiduous in the work of early education, will find in poetry an assistant not to be despised. Its mel ody is like a harp to the infant ear, like a a trumpet stirring up the new born intel lect. It breaks the dream with which ex istence began, as the clear chirping bird wakes the morning sleeper. It seems to be the natural dialect of those powers which are earliest developed. Feeling and fancy put forth their young shoots ere they are expected, and poetry bends a spray for their feeblest tendrils, or rears a prop for their boldest aspirings. Other teachers may toil, perhaps in vain, to purify the streams that have grown tur bid, or to turn them back from perverted channels. The dominion of the mother is over the fountain ere it has contracted a stain. Let her not believe the impres sions which she may make in the first year will be slight or readily effaced by the cur rent of opposing events. A prudent and pious woman' is a greater character than any hero or philosopher of either ancient or modern times. The first impression which children receive in the nursery, un der the mother's immediate care, are sel dom obliterated. Sooner or later their influence conduces to form the future life. Though the child trained up as he should go, may for a season depart from it, there is always reason to hope that he will be found in it when he is old. The principles instilled into the mind in infancy may seem dormant for a while, but the care with which the mother planted and watered will ensure the unfolding of the germ of those noble traits and principles w ich distin guished great and true men everywhere. Time and trouble unfold or recal these principles to mind, and the child so instruc ted has something to recur to. TO ROAST BEEE.—There exists a vari ety of tastes and opiniohs respecting the most profitable as well as the choicest parts of beef. The primest parts are roasted, except the round which should he boiled ; the ribs make the finest roasting joint.— Where a small quantity required, it is better for the bones to be cut out, and the meat rolled ; this should be done by the butcher, who will not only cut cleaner, but skewer the parts into a fillet with more firmness and neatness than the cook, who is not expected to be as expert with the knife and the skewer as the butcher. The tops of the ribs are frequently cut off in to pieces of three or four pounds; this piece, though occasionally roasted, should be salted; it then approaches in flavor to the brisket. In roasting the ribs, or any piece of beef, the precautions mentioned respect ing placing it too near the fire must be observed; and where there is much fat, and it is desired to preserve it from being cooked before the lean it may be covered with clean white paper skewered over it; when it is nearly done the paper should be removed, a litle flour dredged over it, and a rich frothy appearance will be obtained. The joint should be served up with pota toes and other vegetables; the dish should be garnishkc round the edge with horse radish, scraped into thin curls. This re ceipt will suffice for all other roasting parts of beef. For the Intelligencer SELF-LOVE.-It is a poor centre of a man's actions—himself. It is like earth for that only stands fast upon its own cen tre; whereas all things that have affinity with the heavens move upon the centre of another which they.benefit. Extreme self lovers will set a house on fire, if it were but to roast their eggs. 121' "Oche!" says Paddy ; I'll never be able to put on these boots until I have worn them a day or two' " THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATT.ST REWARD." BY MRS. L. H. SIGORRNEY THE DEATH BRIDAL .g Poor Aline, she was so young and so fair, we had been friends from the time we could walk or speak—Claude was her cous in, but no one knew how well he loved her, till he was gone, although he had always been fond of her; but she was the favorite of the whole parish. When Aline was about sixteen, she was to spend a year with some relations in Geneva. Claude had never told her that he loved her; he was poor, and many a year must pass before he could win her. Then they were both so young, and perhaps he feared to try his fate. I always think he felt that he was not long for this world, and he would not sadden her life by any grief that he could spare her ; or perhaps mother Ag nace was right. lint she was gone and he had not spoken. Before the winter was gone he died.— When he was dead they found on his heart a little case like these people carry charms in ; but it contained a lock of Aline's hair and a flower she had given him the day she went away. We did not remove it, but laid it with him in the grave. In the summer Aline came home. Ah! I shall never forget how lovely she looked that day. The joy of her return, and our gladness at seeing her again, had given such life and bloom to her sweet face.— We talked of one and another of our friends in the mountain, and of all she, had seen and done while away, but she never men tioned Claude. At last, as the evening began to fall, she grew restless ; some of her friends came in. and among them Claude's sister. Aline kissed her. 'Could not Claude come with you after all these months, said she. Louisa started and was silent, but one of the others said— ? Did you not know that poor Claude is dead ?' 4 My Aline ! she uttered but one cry so long and bitter that it seemed her life must go with it, and she fell as if dead. It was long before we could bring her to herself, and through all that night she never spoke one word, but one fainting followed another until the morning; then she seemed to revive a little, but so wan she looked a mere wreck of what she was but yesterday, and in her eyes shone a strange sort of glitter, like sunlight re flected from ice, so cold and bright. At last she spoke. Marguerite,' said she taking both my hands, I saw Claude yesterday; do not start; he stood by me! when I fell, and he would have a death bridal, and they can never part us more.' c No one parted you, dear,' said I. 6 Ah, they did—they did,' she answered; 'they knew how happy we should be, and they envied us.' How 3' I asked anxiously. She looked anxiously at me for a mo ment, and shook her head without speak ing. She says what is true,' said mother Aguace, who had come to help us nurse her. There are malignant spirits who al ways try to sunder true hearts; if I hey take the life of one, they watch the other; and that other must marry the dead in his grave, or the spirits cast a spell upon them, and they can never meet after death. Marguerite,' said poor Aline, 'you must go to the priest and bring him. I must be married now, as soon as my wed ding dress is made.' went to see Father Bernard, for . she would not be satisfied. He said her brain was turned by the shock, and she must be soothed and reasoned out of the strange fancy. He came to see her, but after he had made her understand that he would have her give up the idea, she began to plead for her purpose so touchingly that at last he gave way. Poor soul !' said he, as he went out, with the tears standing in his eyes, it is no harm, and may give her rest.' So we arranged all things for the cere mony. I dressed my poor friend for her strange marriage, all in white, with a long veil, and her bridal crown of myrtle and white roses on her head. She told Father Bernard what she would have him do, with a quiet composure strangely belied by her restless glittering eyes. No one then liv ing had ever seen a death bridal, though some of such rites being performed long ago. But she seemed to know, intuitively, how all should be done. We formed in a procession at the bride's house, as is cus tomary at weddings, and proceeded to the church-yard ; there she stood at one side of the grave and Father Bernard on - the other. She had two bridal rings—one she wore, the other she placed on the grave— and kneeling down she laid her left hand upon the ring. 'The priest said a prayer, and those as sembled sang the marriage anthem, and we supposed this would satisfy her ; but still kneeling, as soon as our voices had eeased, she uttered in a clear, solemn voice, her marriage vows ; not in the usual words of our service, but in language so earnest, so full of pathos, that none of us could re strain our tears. Then rising up, she gave the ring that had been on the grave to the priest, who put it on her hand, taking off her own they lifted up the head-stone from the place, and she put her ring be neath it. When the stone was restored to its place, she made me take off the bridal wreath ; this she hung over the 'name of Claude, and slowly returned to her home. She seemed feeble and exhausted, speaking little during the day. At night she called me. Dear Marguerite, he will come for me to-morrow ; .he has promised.' When the first sunlight came into her room she opened her eyes—they were calm and peaceful now—and raising her arms, while a happy smile broke over her face, Claude!' she exclaimed, and her eyes closed forever, while that bright smile lin gered on her lips. We laid her beside him, in her bridal robes ; and every year when her marriage day returns, I hang above her grave a bri dal wreath of myrtle and white roses.— Poor Aline !' t...._ IMPORTANCE OF PUNCTUALITY BEHIND TIME A railroad train was running along at almost lightning speed. A curve was just ahead, beyond which was a station at which the cars passed each other. The conduct was too late, so late, that the period during which the down train had to wait had nearly elpsed, but he hoped yet to pass the curve safely. Suddenly a locomotive dashed into sight right ahead. In an instant 'there -BUCHANAN was a collision. A shriek, a shock, and fifty souls were in eternity, and all be cause an engineei had been behind time. A great battle being fought.g heeT nheesu mmer my posted Cmtoeeldr umn after column had been precipitated along for f hourswa n sun was sinkingin the west; reintrircements for the obstinate defenders were .Aready in sight; it was necessary to carry the pr l _ sition with one final charge or everything would be lost. A powerful corps had as sembled from across the country, and if it came up in season all would be right. The great conqueror confident in its arrival, formed his reserve into an attacking col umn and led them down the hill. The whole world knows the result. Grouchy failed to appear ; the imperial guard was beaten back ; Waterloo was lost. Napo leon died a prisoner at St. Helena because one of his marshals was behind time. A leading firm in commercial circles had long struggled against bankruptcy. As it had enormous asserts in California, it ex pected remittances by a certain day, and, if the sums"promised arrived, its credit, its honor, and future prosperity would be pre served. But week after week elapsed without bringing the gold. At,last came the fatal day on which the firm had bills ma turing to enormous amounts. The steamer was telegraphed at day break, but it was found on inquiry that she had brought no funds, and the house failed. The next arrival brought nearly half a million of dollars to the insolvents, but it was now ten late ; they were ruined because , their agent, in remitting hod boon hohind time. A condemned man was being led out to execution. He had taken human life, but under circumstances of the greatest prov ocation, and public sympathy was active in his behalf. Thousands had signed peti tions for a reprieve; a favorable answer had been expected the night before, and though it had not come, yet even the sher iff felt confident that it would arrive in season. Thus the morning passed without the appearance of the messenger. The last moment was up. The prisoner took his place on the drop, the cap was drawn over his eyes, the bolt was drawn, and a lifeless body revolving in the wind. Just at that moment a horseman came into sight, galloping down the hill, the steed covered with foam. He carried a packet in his right hand, which he waved partially at the crowd', He was the express rider with the reprieve. But he had come too, late, A comparatively innocent man had died an ignominious death because a watch had been five minutes too slow, making its bearer arrive behind time. It is continually so in life. The best laid plans, the most important affairs, the fortunes of individuals, the weal of na tions, honor, happiness itself are sacrificed, because somebody is " behind tinm."— There are men who always fail in whatever they undertake simply because they are " behind time." There arc also others who put of reformation year by year, till death seizes them, and they perish unre pentant, because forever "behind time." The allies lost nearly a year at Sebastopol because they delayed a superfluous day after the battle of Alma, and came up too late for a coup de main just twenty-four hours " behind time." Five minutes in a crisis is worth years. It is but a little period, yet it has often saved a fortune or redeemed a people. If there is one virtue that should be cultivated more than anoth er by him who would succeed in life; it is punctuality; if there is one error that should be avoided it is being "behind time."—Baltimore Sun. HAPPINESS.—To watch the corn grow and the blossom set, to draw a hard breath over ploughshare or spade, to read, to think, to love, to hope, to pray—these are the things to make one happy; they have always had the power of doing these they never will have power to do more. The world's prosperity or adversity depends upon our knowing and teaching these few things, but upon iron or glass, or elec tricityrr steam, in nowise, And I am utopian and enthusiastic enough to believe the time will come when the world will discover this. It has now made its exper iments in every possible direction but the right one, and it seems that it must at last try the right one in a mathematical neces sity. It has tried fighting and preaching and fasting, buying and selling pomp and parsimony, pride and humiliation—every possible manner of existence in which it could conjecture there was any happiness or dignity; and all the while, as it bought, sold and fought and fasted and wearied ittelf with 'politics and ambition, and self denials, God had placed its real happiness in the' keeping of the little mosses of the wayside and of ,the clouds of the firma ment. A STRING OF Mismus.—A man named Wragg was brought into one of our city courts for disturbing the peace. No wit nesses appeared against him, and he was requested to tell his own story. Judge—Mr. Wragg, will you state the facts connected with your arrest Wragg—Cernly, sir. Last night, at 10 o'clock, I was going along the street quietly and unostentatiously, with my mind occupied in profound meditation ; sudden ly my thoughts and vision were simultane ously arrested, not by a member of the po lice, but by an old hat that was lying on the sidewalk. Now, .1 + have a deep aver sion to an old hat. Iri fact, I might say that the whole world has a rooted antipa thy to old hats. It may be became old hats are emblematic of a man going down the hill of adversity. Men under such cir cumstances and old hats receive the same kind of treatment, namely, kicks. Now, nine out of ten seeing that old hat lying on the side-walk, as I did, would have given it a kick, and that, sir, is just what I did. I kicked that old hat, and not only that, but I kicked a frightful large stone, which was inside of it; I felt myself falling for:- ward, and unfortunately I fell against fat woman with sufficient force to causb her to fall ; in falling; she knocked down ladder; one end of the ladder struck me, the other hit a cart horse ; the horse ga4 a jump, and the cartman was thrown off his cart; he fell on a bull terrier dog; the dog gave a yell and bit the cartman, whP rolled over me; a nigger rushed out of an alley, and kicked the cartman for falling on his.dog ; the cartman picked up a stone and threw it at the nigger, but, unfortu nately, it went through the window of a Dutchman's grocery, and fell into abutter tub; the 'Dutchman came out; by this time I had got up, and was about to castigate a • boy whom I saw laughing, from whiph'oir- cumstance I was led to believe that he had!
