A correspondent Of the European Amer

"The defenders of Rome were not for

in aid Of Mother Rome. would be the same
as 10 STYLE a New Yorker foreigner in

seems to be eonceded that intenperance and
dirt are its two best allies. Temperance and
cleanliness are found tobe far better than med
icines. TheRev. Mr.. Dwight, writing from
