whose commodities were embellished with devices
and figures so captivating to the eye, that me weld
hardly resist the temptation to purchase; photo-

were solicitous to take a true Asnage of the human

" charming gal," • Inc vinous of their food lovers :

was a right and proper thing for men tojoin together

merit in doing so. It did not cell forth any greet
amount of self-denial. Men were only doing their
duty by se ansog. It was not like that holy feeling
which St. Paul had when he was willing to give up,
all for Christ's sake. Yet, notwithstanding this,.
there could not be a holy superstraction raised with.-

the members decided, contrary to kW own and the
advice of several of their best supporters, to divider
the funds. By doing so many of their k
members withdrew their subscnptions, andlemirca2
had been going backward in consequence. Mr.
Chaffey, their secretary, and himself, had been very
particular in drawing up a statement of the remiplie

their funds, they would have had at the present time,
more than £l,OOO emoted. His &demo therefore,
was, that a committee of their number—six=
members and six old mein bees—should be
and confer with those gentlemen who had their
welfare at heart, to devise some plan by which the

themselves to the task and determined to meet it.,
they might yet get through. But what they did
