HUNTING. 119 



when going to and returning from the hunts, 

 and dearly loves to hear something of the 

 runs ; nor is there a more humane driver 

 nor a better cared horse in any city of the 

 empire. 



I have related this true incident, not from 

 any egotism — God is my witness — but merely 

 to show you how good is '* a word in season.'* 

 You may speak many which may be, or may 

 seem to be, of none effect, but, hke the '* bread 

 upon the waters," you know not when it may 

 return unto you blessed.
