have injured one of his flock, under

so much of secrecy autl evasion?
When started modesty thus holds np
a warning forefiuger, and whispers
“Hush!” there must something have
been done offensive to morality. There

We cannot go into his arguments on

have taken a-proper view of the value

of the b'atwhUeuaea, the Seine must
have a good deal of soap floating
about it in a wasteful kind of way, to
say nothing of the greasy pollution

An enterprising firm, fortified by the

Everybody knows that the oil

to both taste and smell. In slitting

prevent a contact ot the wool with the

stripped off. The accomplished butch

likely from the fact that tlie oil cre

almost ignorant of agriculture, made
respectable livings, and somo of them
became rich, by the cultivation of this
important cereal. Though some 2,0U0
acres of this crop have been destroyed
by the late, crevassesyet the yield this
