They are the regions Of sallow looking old maid
of from thirty to forty-6ve, from whom mel
with heart, soul and hot blood in their compost
ton fly as from the cold plague.
We fear that until Providence AFFECTS the rae,
with utter barrenness, no change will occur II
their propensity to one-ideaism They viii
continue communities Of optimists, lover right
