Dedicated to the Memory of My Mother, 



A noble, wee-bit of a woman, with an enormous heart, made 



up largely of love, lamb and lion ; afraid of nothing above> 



beneath or on the earth, but God Himself, and a cyclone ; a 



devoted Christian mother, wife and friend, with refined and 



literary tastes; the very soul of rectitude, and fearless. cham- 

 pion of right under every circumstance ; the faithful mother 

 of a round dozen of children, and died scratching for her 

 brood.
