Our forest home : being extracts from the correspondence of the late Frances Stewart . en his timeto overlooking all matters connected with the publication of the work. PREFACE TO SECOND EDITIOIS So many requests have been made from time to time for a secondedition of Our Forest Home tliat my aunt has decided to complywith the demand ; the more wiUingly because, in the meantime, otherletters of great interest have been sent to her from Ireland. However, feeling herself unable to undertake the necessary labor alone, shehanded the work over to me, but every change has been made, everyadditional letter inserted, subject to her oversight and approval. Several photographs, copies of some old sketches of Peterboroughand a short history of the town have also been added in this edition, thus making it even more interesting than the first one for the descend-ants (now scattered far and wide in every quarter of the globe) of thoseearly settlers whose experiences were in many ways similar to those sographically described in these letters of my gi-andmothers. Frances Brown. MorUrtal.. OLD LETTERS. Old letters ! Oh, then spare them— They are priceless for their age II love—oh, how I love to see Each yellow, time-stained page !They tell of joys that are no more, Of hopes that long have fled ;Old letters ! Oh, then spare them— They are sacred to the dead ! They tell of times—of happy times In years long, lonrj gone by ;Of dear ones who have ceased to live But in the memorj ;They picture many a bright, bright scene, In sunny days of yore ;Old letters ! Oh, then spare them ! They are a priceless store. Oh, ye are now the only links That bind us to the past;Sweet, sweet memorials of the days Too happy far to last.The tear-drop fills again the eye, Whence tears had almost fled ;Old letters ! Ye are precious— Ye are sacred to the dead. —A Clipping from an old Scrap-Booh. CONTENTS I. Journals and Letters 1822-1823 II. Letters 1823-1829 III. Letters 1829-1839 IV; Letters 1839-1
