the relief has been most instantaneous.

if the party first nn,nId would pay the
money, Inc would give him five dollars
on his bargain when he arrived in

coming ON in the Boat.
The young man believing it a good
opportunity To speculate. offered the
seller $50, being within $40 of
all he hai with him. After com
planning of the additional sacrifice. the
distressed seller consented. and the
bargain was closed.
