ntenance. She had wished
William Logan, a good Christian man, to lay her head in the
grave, if I were not there. When going away in 1858, she said
to me that she would have liked one of her laddies to lay her
head in the grave. It so happened that I was there to pay the
last tribute to a dear good mother."

The last thing we find him doing in Scotland is attending the
examination of Oswell's school, with Anna Mary, and seeing him receive
prizes. Dr. London, of Hamilton, the medical attendant and much-valued
friend of the Livingstones, furnishes us with a reminiscence of this
occasion. He had great difficulty in persuading Livingstone to go. The
awful bugbear was that he would be asked to make a speech. Being assured
that it would be thought strange if, in a gathering of the children's
parents, he were absent, he agreed to go. And of course he had to speak.
What he said was pointed and practical, and in winding up, he said he
had just two things to say to them--"FEAR GOD, AND WORK HARD." These
appear to have been Livingstone's last public words in his
native Scotland.

King's Cross station to-day. He gracefully said that he
wished I had been coming rather than going away, and she
shook me very cordially with both hands, and said, 'You will
come back again to us, won't you?' and shed a womanly tear.
The good Lord bless and save them both, and have mercy on
their whole household!"

"11_th August_.--Went down to say good-bye to the
Duchess-Dowager of Sutherland, at Maidenhead. Garibaldi's
rooms are shown; a good man he was, but followed by a crowd
of harpies who tried to use him for their own purposes.... He
was so utterly worn out by shaking hands, that a detective
policeman who was with him in the carriage, put his hand
under his cloak, and did the ceremony
