« Honiliab, As We Have Now Become With, ...
; Her farewells to those around were spoken with courage and ' calmness ; she now sustained and consoled the mourners . She prayed
aloud for blessings on all , her thoughts stretching far beyond her own ' beloved family to her native townto her countryto all mankind .
, , She prayed for mercy upon all _" those who believe in Thee and on those who believe in Thee not . " The loving spirit was strong in
death , and then came angelic visions and the opening gates of the heavenly Jerusalem . " Audiamoaudianoavanti / " ( Let us golet us
hasten!)—with these words mortal , speech , was ended . , All Pisa wept for her . Poets and writers of note in Italy spake
in touching language of her life and death . Months afterwards , when the Abbe Perreyre went to visit the room
in which she had died , he found it strewn with roses , placed there , not by her familybut by friends and neighbors . They were not left
to fade , but were , renewed every day . The career of Rosa _[ Ferrucci needs but few comments . It is but another repetition of the old
lesson , that it is not circumstances , but our use of them , which creates evil . All love might be as pure , as elevating , as unselfish as
hersall talents might be as sanctified—all characters might be as regulatedas controlled—and all lives might leave behind them a fragrance
such , as this young girl of nineteen has done . Human knowledge need not puff us _\ _ip , human affections need not enslave us . Lives
like hers are meant to uphold and encourage others in the onward path .
" Oh All , though fears oft depressed are laid aside and lonely , If I but my remember only
Such as these have lived and died . "

XLL—STRAY LETTERS ON THE EMIGRATION QUESTION .
« Our Scheme For Promoting The Emigratio...
« Our scheme for promoting the emigration of educated women
is fairly started—we feel certain of its ultimate success . From time to time we shall receive many interesting and useful letters
from our emigrants , and from others interested in the work ; and since there can be no doubt that verbatim , copies of these letters
will assist more _siirely in the furtherance of our views than any series of papers containing our impressions of these communications ,
we purpose every now and then giving the results of our labors in this form ; and though , for obvious reasons , all names will _Tbe
carefully suppressed , unless freely comimniicated for our purpose , yet we shall always be _xeady to produce the originals if required , and it is
shown that any real good will be likely to result from so doing .
