that existence every day derives new vgor instead o.

graduate herself upon Those who now migrate to that
country will fnd instead of rude savageness, civilization

An Irishman came to Mobile, and employed himself
with Mr. Gilmore For single month ne worked at
dollar day The month expired. Patrick received ms
wages in hard money He turned It over ana locked at

write letter for him to his friends in Ireland Certain

cot one and sixpence day and meat once day" But
don't you get meat three times day, and don't you get
dollar day" "Why, sir" said he, elf you tell them
get one and sxpence day, it's much better than six
pence day; and if you tell them get meat once days
i is so much better than meat week, that all my
friends will come to this country But if you tell them
that get dollar day and meat three times day they
will never believe word OF it, and never one OF them

about Texas and therefore Just tell you to come ana see
it, and am sure you will settle there
