No. VIII.—AN OLD SAMPLER
In the drawer of a cabinet that had belonged to my grandmother I came upon an old sampler, beautifully worked in scarlet cross-stitch. Its very curious legend runs as follows:—
| AL. IT. | |||
| T.L | EW. O. MA! | ||
| N.T. | Ho! UGH. AVE. Ryli. | ||
| T.T. | Let. Hi! N.G.I. | ||
| S.S. | We. Et. Erf. Art. Ha! | ||
| N.S. | Ug. Ara. N.D.F. Lo! | ||
| W.E. | R.S.T. Ha! TB. | ||
