I WILL NOT ASSIST your INVENTION. You frequently convict yourself. Even the question you have now asked does so. Your concluding supposition is correct.
574.--_Friday, March 2, 1855._
YOU SEE quickly THINGS that you think you can safely say. There are many besides that, which you dare not mention. Remain in your heartlessness and selfishness, and with the conviction that it was never deserved.--R.

604.--_Tuesday, Sept. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 1855._
RECEIVED your LETTER with great pleasure, but with great regret for the pain you have suffered. What you desire so much would only keep alive the subject in your mind, besides would cause grave suspicions if discovered, and render nugatory all that has been done, which would be lamentable indeed. The other reason you mention has no influence whatever. Above all, to retrace your steps would be most unwise, rendering everything still more nugatory than in the other case. Consider the consequences and the pain which the sacrifices that have been made (but which do not suppose regretted), having been thrown away, would cause to others. I have gone away for five years for that reason. The initials had better be omitted, and I therefore do so. This will be copied by the lady you mention, and sent you as agreed upon. May God bless you always.

608.--_Saturday, September 29, 1855._
PITY.--Yes.--The future of a buried heart and conscience! It is more than unfeeling to seize the unhappy hour of a weak and erring heart to influence it, to violate its whole nature, abandon the tenderest ties, and make it for ever bankrupt of every true and proper feeling. Remorse, and one day you will feel it.
609.--_Monday, October 1, 1855._

THIS is a funny world, and people seem to have entertained funny ideas.--The BROOCH was found to be of inferior description, and not likely to have been worn by either. The letter shall be called for if desired, but think better not.
612.--_Friday, October 5, 1855._

THE PRUSSIAN ALLIANCE.--Will any one inform the writer why we should be more angry with Prussia for not joining us in the war than with Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain?

HAYDEE.--Londres. J’ai reçu la visite No. 11, avec ses compagnons. Therese est très tranquille; elle approuve de son ami. Oui, je vous verrai comme vous m’indiquer; je dirai le jour; espère toujours, j’approuve tout; les ennuis cesseront, le tourment de Brighton est depuis deux mois à Paris ou l’ami F. la console; de Barcelone pas des nouvelles.
630.--_Thursday, November 1, 1855._
HOPE.--By that pure love I have struggled to preserve, with every effort of my soul; by that bitter cup you have given, and I drank to the dregs--by those ties no man can sever--by promises made to those now no more--I will see you. Be true to yourself and to me. Oh! M--y! M--y! I would save you the pangs of error--God forbid of crime--and though the passion, jealousy, hate and madness you have excited--be scorned and denied--when the serpent you foster is wearied--yea, even then--here is your haven, when all forsake.
God protect you.--D----.
631.--_Thursday, November 1, 1855._
HAYDEE.--Ce Lundi que j’ai reçu la visite de No. 3, elle était bien aimable, bien bonne, et m’a rendue tout contente. Par la même adresse vous pouvez me dire si mon ouvrage vous plait, je voudrais pour rien au monde travailler pour le Roi de Prusse.

THE ADMIRAL.--X. K. Y. Z. Mark, alas! I blame myself. Figaro has destroyed Prestos. Snooks’s “Old Clo,” hard up.
645.--_Tuesday, December 4, 1855._
A. B. C. D.--J’ai répondu à votre dernière lettre le 19e Novembre, en adressant 15, C.C., et n’ai rien entendu depuis. Il me semble qu’une lettre perdue ou un accident peuvent seul être cause de votre silence, et je suis très inquiète. Adressez, comme avant, E. S. R., etc.
646.--_Wednesday, December 5, 1855._
TO TOOOPSI.--L’orage ne doit pas briser la fleur; son gardien vit de son parfum et veille sur elle. Qu’elle ne se fâne pas pour lui--c’est sa prière journalière. Le bouton de rose voudrait bien être cueilli, mais qu’il se garde et ne s’épanouie que pour celui qui ne respire que par sa rosée.
647.--_Thursday, December 6, 1855._
THE ADMIRAL.--Not yet. Poor me! Sorry for Mark, glad as to the others. Anything pressing, say, and nw in a twinkle.

JENNY LIND’S NIGHTS.--Ladies and Gentlemen, TAKE CARE of your PROPERTY. A sufferer from the Swell Mob warns you!

BOHEMIAN, where is thy work? For thee, all is delayed! Thou, who art called Target, WRITE at once to Newington-butts, and pacify the anxieties of Hookey and his clan.--December 18, 1855.
653.--_Monday, December 24, 1855._
OLD ADMIRAL.--E. G., C. S., 44, is in great TROUBLE. December 22, 1855.
654.--_Monday, December 24, 1855._

UNALTERABLE.--KIND WISHES has been RECEIVED. The once referred is still here, and will be glad to hear a favourable report.--H., December 24, 1855.

THE ADMIRAL.--Xkyz. Alas! Je vous souhaite une heureuse nouvelle année.
Requiescat in pace.
657.--_Thursday, December 27, 1855._
SPOONINI is anxious to HEAR of DAISY’S WHEREABOUTS. The charades pause for a reply.
658.--_Monday, December 31, 1855._
THE ADMIRAL.--Dieu Le benisse! Alas! tu dis? Je suis très inquiet; mille fois je réciproque les bons souhaits. Tu es mon rêve de la nuit, ma vision du matin. Requiescat in pace? Ah, que c’était Snooks.
659.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._
CE 1er JANVIER.--On vous renvoi à aujourd’hui un an le tout de même, hormis le refrain--dont on reconnaît la stupidité!
660.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._
SOMMES-NOUS toujours en rapport? Votre silence, nécessité ou volontiers? Depuis la réception des deux numéros, point des nouvelles.--Dec. 31, 1855.
661.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._
ALL RIGHT, to the 13th of October. C. is to be found at E., and protection. Murray will do, and possesses. Nos. 1 and 3 doubtful. Still depend confidently on the option William gave you; he will persevere through all. He wishes to hear from you much. Your brother is pretty well; his hope strong, and resolution unfaltering.
662.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._
M. D. is most affectionately thanked for kind wishes and kinder advice; but how sad and difficult a task will it prove to follow the latter. A selfish and weak heart has to be controlled, and its very idol to be given up. I will, however, strive as you desire, for I feel that I ought to do thus much at least for a newly found and very dearly beloved relative.
663.--_Wednesday, January 2, 1856._
DAISY feels inexpressibly flattered by Spoonini’s tender inquiries, but having found a more perfect hero in a new company, she begs gratefully to decline any renewal of the old engagement.
664.--_Friday, January 4, 1856._
C. B.--ALL WRONG, and very ill.
665.--_Friday, January 4, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--Merci. C’est le couleur de rose. Je suis malheureuse.--Presto.
666.--_Saturday, January 5, 1856._
COULEUR BRUNE et BLEU.--J’ai RECUE tous vos LETTRES. Mille remerciments. Vous trouverez mes nouvelles, comme vous m’indiquez, le Lundi ou Mardi prochain. Mon bonheur dépend de votre tranquillité, de votre santé; soignez-vous, donc, pour celui qui est à vous pour la vie.
667.--_Monday, January 7, 1856._
REACH.--YES. Address, as usual, W. H. C., 1, Long-lane. I mean the metaphors.
668.--_Tuesday, January 8, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--Presto.--Je ne veux pas que vous y aller à la Porte St. Martin. Vous la trouverez où je reçois la mienne. Demandez du Domino Noir, ou de la Blonde. J’ai tout commandé.
669.--_Wednesday, January 9, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--Do not send Presto to the Dominoes; it will not answer. Send to Porte St. Martin, to the name you first told me. Alas!
670.--_Friday, January 11, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--J’ai oublié tout-à-fait de l’envoyer. C’est absolument ma faute. On est fâché. W. W. Lundi--A la Porte St. Martin. J’attendrai la votre.
671.--_Saturday, January 12, 1856._
POETICUS.--Where are you now? 4, 126, 200, 272, 5, 96. Yours have not been received. Be just. TRUTH.
672.--_Tuesday, January 15, 1856._
FRANGIPANI.--Do not doubt me. Numbers 67, 412, 87. You will now comprehend the delay.
673.--_Tuesday, January 15, 1856._
H. B. M.--He that conquers a fault is even more worthy than if he had never erred. With truth and honour for your weapons--hope still.--ROYAL NAVY.
674.--_Tuesday, January 15, 1856._
THE ADMIRAL.--I have called twice. Presto was not at home. I cannot account for it. One awaits you at Porte St. Martin. Do not keep me longer in suspense. Alas! alas!
675.--_Wednesday, January 23, 1856._
