scale of society is sunk, and all are considered
equal. Many keepers Of boarding houses are
however of tho most respectable cha racter, and
of course 1t is Of such We speak.
Widows of eminent mon have been known to
resort to this mode of supporting themselves aud
families; the extravaganza of tho husband hav

aud high notions, both of which form the poor, ST
kind of lcgacies. Boarding houses being looked
