they fleet to be,) for the todgiag of his family, he found
that the real mum of hippie's, was set In age etas of
his apartments, bat io that Ada was the subject

thro•gheat those departments, and it we. to those
that he mast look for his treed comfort. He did
not mean to pass over that, without which, no
man could be happy, a pod cdl. and cheerful

He considered that al labourers' Andrea, who wished
to better their condltion should be lastrocted in this
most important week. After stew farther observations,
