and foresight She is better off than England
because she has no landlordism to contend with,
tearing out the heart of the soil for rent, and
leaving rottenness for the laborer in the place of
food In France and in Ireland, we have con-
trast which shows us the cause of excessive
misery.
So many petitions have been sent TO Lola
