for aperient of gegen or twenty years, to enable them to
pay °lithely mortgages. We know that it is not nonsual
for the dog star to rage is the winter months ; and we
have seen a Secretary of State, intrusted with all the
three offices of State, when, as the Courier asserted, the
Kura himself knew that that Secretary was lead. Hatt,
to give effect to a project such as is here described, there
