Dr.. Mounsey, by way of ridiculing
family pride, used to confess, that The
frsl Of his ancestors, ofany note, was ba-
ker and dealer in hops, trade which en-.
abled him, with some difficulty, to sup.
port his family. To procure present
sum, this ancestor had robbed his feather
beds Of their contents. and supplied their
deficiency with unsaleable hops. In a
few years, severe blight universallypr
vailing, hops became more scarce, and OF
course enormously dear; the boarded t'ea-.

son were of no value; "and thus" the Dr.
used TO add, "our family hoped from OBJ
