little errings which we in our present nature
cannot possibly avoid, would be overlooked or

break harshly upon the ear, the cold averted

thrown aside, and the confidence of brothers

from within four or six feet of the ground to
the EXTREMIST branch, was full of clusters of
fruit. We were assured that the only extra
advantage it had was watering it well, nearly
every day, with dishwater, and occasionally with
soap suds. The following is from one Of our
exchage papers:

MENTAL Exc1TEMENT-Bad news weakens
the action of the heart, oppresses the lungs,
