PREFACE.

THE authoress of this little story does not launch it upon the sea of literature, in the expectation that the wind and tide of public favour will set in to waft it far from the lone creek whence it was started; neither does she aspire to see it skirting the coast with gaily-rigged pleasure boats, attended by other music than that of the liquid-stringed harp they oversweep so lightly.

She knows well that this will neither go abroad a stately ship, nor glide near home a fairy pinnace; yet she sends it forth to its destination-the hearts of friends with a message, a message which few perhaps will scorn. But, not to leave it wholly to the
