SECTION IV. "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair,"-2 Cor. iv. 8. "For all the promises of God in Christ Jesus, are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."--2 COR. i. 20. "But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ."-EPH. ii. 13. "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. "And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."--PHIL. iv. 6, 7. We bless the Lord, whose tender care We bless the Sun of Righteousness, Whose beams command our night to cease; Whose ways are ways of pleasantness, The cloudy pillar all the day Shall guard us through the burning light; Thy cheering presence through the night. So let us learn, where'er we go, THE Cavalry Regiment which had been encamped on the plains of Purneah, in order to co-operate if necessary Iwith the northern division of the army employed against the Burmese, being ordered, on the approach of the rains, into cantonments at Bhaugulpoor, the individual to whom allusion is so often made was enabled to revisit Gorukhpore on his way to the upper provinces, whither he was directed to proceed. The regiment about to be joined, was stationed at Muttra, an important military station on the Bhurtpoor frontier. Although the month of May in this part of India is peculiarly unfavourable for travelling, it was imperative that the march should be immediately undertaken-the passage of the Ganges and Jumna being imprac ticable in the face of the hot winds, which prevail at this season in their greatest intensity of heat and force. The rout through Oude having been selected, viâ Fyzabad and Luknow, the journey was commenced under a strong escort of native horsemen, and a sepoy guard, which the local authorities kindly furnished. Writing to a young friend on this occasion, she says: "When we drove through your compound, (grounds) the last morning, and passed the room in which you were, perhaps, asleep, little thinking of the sorrow that oppressed my heart from the thought that we might have had our last interview on earth, I could not help heaving a bitter sigh, and shedding a few tears. But when I recollect that he who brought us together, is able to preserve in our hearts the mutual affection we have so long cherished, my sorrow is much lessened, and hope 'skilled to wear the form we love,' bids me look forward to another meeting." A detached paper contains the subjoined: "We arose at two o'clock this morning, May 26th, and having taken farewell of our dear friends, commenced our journey towards Muttra, which place, so long as it pleases our Almighty Father, is to be our residence. Oh! that our great Defender and Keeper may graciously lead us and preserve us through this trying period; and whatever it shall please him to bring to pass, whether of a sorrowful or joyous nature, may we remember the hand that causeth it; and instead of lifting up a murmuring heart, grant that we may be perfectly resigned to thy all-wise will, O God. "Many and VERY dear are the friends we have left behind. How great is my debt of gratitude that so worthless and unengaging a creature as I, should have been permitted the enjoyment of so great a pleasure as the affectionate regard of others. May I prove worthy of a continuance of this love. 66 Through the inattention of some of the servants, we were detained for some time at the Ghaut, but notwithstanding this delay, reached our tents at Meer-gunj, a distance of 25 miles, at seven o'clock, and, as the weather was cloudy, did not experience any inconvenience from the heat; though the wind being Landing-place. very high, we were completely covered with dust; our eyes and mouths being unprotected, we were rendered not a little uncomfortable. "The pretty appearance of Mughur, the first stage, delighted us, and as we pursued our journey, several lovely spots appeared; either a picturesque ruin, or a beautiful clump of trees, presenting a variety of the richest foliage. In one place a numerous assemblage of black-faced monkeys greeted us with a loud chatter, and a display of their white teeth. * * * * gathered two pretty flowers, or rather blossoms of trees, one of which was a yellow flower, which at a distance very much resembled the laburnum of England, but on inspection it proved to be the Cassia, the seedvessel of which is a long pod, containing a pulp of some value as a medicine. During the day the thermometer varied between 90°, and 964° Faht. In the evening, whilst the baggage was being despatched, we took our tea, outside the tent, by the light of the moon, and talked of all the dear friends we had left behind.
