do--and while they respected The .'goveTnor'' om

propcnslties for humbug. One sunday The gov
ernor was reading the Bible, and when En-, the
Oldest boy procured set Of dice, and having
spotted all the low sides, that he could not get
less than hiteec, commenced throwing thenl ON
chair. The governor came TO q hard word zoos cd
