consisting of wime three generations- his children,
namely, the grandfather,
and his children’s children. There they
live in peace and harmony together ; all
who are able to, work <>n the farm, aiel
if more lalmr is required, the stranger is
hired to assist them. They live well,
dress plainly, and are industrious, vntti
being in any way'oppressed, The
female membeisof a fftfmer’shonsehold of
have much more liberty than those a
higher rank. Tbev have small feet ns
