_Motto on Chimney-piece_ (Vol. v., p. 345.)--It does not appear to me
that the mottoes sent by your inquirer C. T. are very difficult to
solve. The first is Latin:
"VITATRANOVULAESTOLIM."
He says he is not certain as to one or two letters. I suspect the first
O should be Q, and the V should be I. It will then read:
"Vita tranquila est olim."
"Life is henceforth tranquil."
A very proper motto for a fire-side.
The second is Italian:
"VE DAL AM DARO."
