into the countcnances of our daughters, but
in vain Their expression was respectful and
becoming but plainly saw that they were
of one mind with their mother. Indeed, my
daughter Bertha said the other day, in not u
very playful manner, that she requested the
Misses Pcase to smell her roses, and after n
good deal of snuling, they both declared they
could smell nothing but tobacco. Well, the tri-
els ola godly man are great indeed Must re-
sign this innocent pleasure What harm
can there be in rolling this, to me, sweet

Google grew quite warm about it. lie said
the Leg gi,ldture did not deem it cxpedicnt by
legal enactment to enter private dwellings ,
they doubtless supposed that the law of love
and common deccncy would prove sufficient
there. He asked me If believed the pra

hawking and splitting added very much to
domestic comfort and if my own wife and
daughters Syoud he made less comfortable if
these practices were abandoned | told him
