Excerpt from Descriptive of the Isle of Wight
Since that time, Agnes and her brother had lived quite alone with their grandfather, in the little cottage perched on the summit of a tall cliff overhanging the dark-blue sea. They were tolerably comfortable, and very cheerful and contented. At the period of which I write, Agnes was nearly twelve, and Robert only one year younger. Like all of us they had faults, but they earnestly endeavored to subdue them, which, alas! Is far from being the case with many who have, like them, been taught that all sin, even what we have perhaps allowed ourselves to look upon as very trivial in its nature, is yet grievous in the sight of a most holy God!

Excerpt from Descriptive of the Isle of Wight
"Bring flowers to the shrine where we kneel in prayer:
They are Nature's offering, their place is there:
They speak of hope to-tho fainting heart;
With a voice of promise they come and part;
They sleep in dust through tho wintry hours,
They break forth in glory - bring flowers, bright flowers."
Mrs. Hemans.
I am going to tell my young readers a story which, I hope, will interest them. It is about two children who lived, not many years ago, in a tiny fisherman's hut, situated near the lovely village of B, beyond all question the most picturesque and beautiful in the Isle of Wight.
Agnes and Robert were the only grandchildren of good old David Landon, a man who was universally respected and beloved, both for his honesty and uprightness of character, and also for the unfailing kindness of his disposition.
