] suit of a style of fur mints that was
1 very general before the Civil War.
i -While land was cheap and labor
abundant it was considered far
! cheaper to clear lands and culti
vate them continually until they
became exhausted. They were
then turned out on the commons
' and allowed to remain without any
j attertipt for their restoration.

race of life compared with the
young men of the city. They re-

But. while all this profit, may
