o. friends still insisted on letting it remain
and still prevailed. Their reasonipfi
however we're not 80 unanimous now. "A.

thorn, as ? serious misfortune, but as he
advanced in years stme were heard to *.y
that they believed it no injury to bis con-

t sert that they thought it a positive benefit.
He has now arrived at the age Of mani hood,
