By way of ridiculing family pride, Doctor Monsey
used to relate that the first of his ancestors of any note was a baker
and dealer in hops, a trade by which he with some difficulty sup-
'uPPrllLrd their
air Severe difference
blight with
u
ported a large family. On one occasion to meet an urgent de-
mand he was obliged to rob the feather beds of their contents and
hops were very
scarce and excessively dear, the horded treasure was picked out of
the beds, and a good sum was procured for hops, which, in a
niverslallyea prevailing,ble hops A year or two
afte
plentiful season would be unsaleable ; and thus, said the doctor,
al; family hopped from obscurity.—Leedo Paper.
