especially easily settled in the stomach. It could be
readily to distillation, but much
more from the tissues of herbiv¬

novel on the theme of the exiled young
Acadian girl who spent the remainder of

and it was agreed that I should use hi*
friend’s story for verse whenever I had
the time and inclination to write it,”—
