The _green_ part of the dress which caused your wonder, naturally enough, is not a freak of new vestments, but is a foolish way which the Glenalmond students have adopted of wearing the _hood_, which our Bishops (not without diversity of opinion) had granted for those who had been educated at our College.
It is a hood lined with _green_ (Scottish thistle colour), and they have a way of wearing it in a manner which brings the coloured part in front.

Pray, pray, don't think of answering this; it is merely to correct an unfavourable impression in one whose favourable opinion I much desiderate.
I cannot tell you the pleasure I had in your visit on Tuesday .-- With sincere regard, yours always, E.B.

RAMSAY.

Dear Dr.Alexander--I forgot to mention a circumstance connected with my story of to-day.

I have had a communicant thereanent with Dr.Robert Lee.

The good Dr., although fond of introducing Episcopalian practices, which cause great indignation amongst some of his brethren, does not wish it to be understood that he has the least tendency to become an Episcopalian himself.
