Cosasry Changes.
Five years ago, in towns, II a man had q

took possession, "you will wal, month or
two sor yonr pay" and his request wur
granted as condition Of the sale. A farm.

raise half nm acre Of potatoes, with which,
at eighteen pence bnsl,cl, he could keep
his accounts square with the mechanics a.

man. about the middle Of winter he carried
down bushels Of wheat enough to pay his
bill. The merchant, if he did basines. on
