Snoring.-My uncle P was an awful
snorer. He could be heard further than a
blacksmih's forge; but my aunt became 50
accustomed to it, that it soothed her repose.
They were very domestic couple, never slept
a wink; she missed the snoring. The second
night passed away in the same way without
sleep. She was getting into a very had way,
and probably would h We died, had it not been
for the ingenuity Of a servant girl; she took
the coffee mill into my cunts chamber and
ground her to sleep al once!
