Ins,ance the one ae,oss the slFeeI; who is the owner of that 2
 Richard B.. secont; soa of the Judge. You were acquainted with Judge B.'s family 2

 'The Judge is dead. and has left his property a;rong his children. kich1d is merchant here, and is doing heavy business-is prospecting, as his place in. Licates.

Isaac. the youngest, is preaching in one of the Southern cities, and is ve'y popular. both as an oia.or and wviler.'
 But what of Emerson !? you have forgotten him. He was fine fellow though he had great many cccen.'i ic notions.

 And yet. sir. assure you ls is to be envied. He has a most charming home, and cha' m.ng wife and family-one of the happiest families within my acquain. Iance-accomplishcd and .tiined. in,el- ligenl and sensible. They a,e not airaid a9y of them to do any k;nd cf wo'k. and do do it. And you could no. visit them without leaving with desire to visi' them again.
