I felt that one more episode of my life had passed, that my influences there for good or evil, was ended. The children all seemed sorry to part with me, there were tears in many eyes, and one little girl sobbed all the way home and would not be comforted. God bless them all I love every one of them, although some of them have given me trouble and they have often seemed ungrateful for all my care and patience with them. I have passed a pleasant term among them, and sincerely wish them well in this world and the world to come, and hope that I may have done them some good. I was very tired at night, and after collecting my things, we started for home, we had a mile to walk to the lake shore. We had a picnic of our own on board, and after a very pleasant ride reached home about nine. The soldiers of the first Regiment returned today, and were enthusiastically received by the people they were welcomed at the depot, and provided with a dinner in one of the buildings, and in the evening were received by the ladies at the Assembly Room. They had a very pleasant time, most of them will re-enlist for the war.
