taste for what are called h0aours. Vanity is
making a desperate effort to decorate men
with tiIles. The lasv fofbids il; bu, vanity is
at open war with law. The germ of aris,oc-
racv, which was discovered in the New. En-
gland states, and in few instances, in some
of the others, at the end Of the war of indie
peDdcnce, has grown out now TO full view.
