Sept. 28-Oct. 4
Hear Mr. [James Allen] Latane ....Presume it is his first sermon. Henry comes by and spends the night on his way to the University. Get a new bonnet and cloaks. A visit from Mr. Henry from Tennessee. Cousin Jim Trice sends us by him a picture of his place in Clarksville, Tennessee. Wrote to Miss Vallant.
"There are gains for all our hopes
There are balms for all our pains
But when youth the dream departs
It takes something from our hearts
We are stronger, we are better
Under manhood's strenuous rigours
Still we feel that something sweet,
Followed youth with flying feet
And will never come again!
Something beautiful is vanished
And we sigh for it in vain
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air."

Something beautiful is vanished
And we sigh for it in vain
We behold it everywhere,
