only by comparison that the relative merits ofany

for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, il not better than that of Others and
that il behOoves you to calamity enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
haracter Of the judges is a guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you will ENJOY
he luxury of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department. we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
oipcs and daughters to b.ins whatever appertains
