A few days later. my Charley and |

for us IN the West, in the course of few

wonderful change has taken place, ayh
think her very beautiful. The slebdcr
form has grown plump, the face bund
and fair, while the red lips and Largo, lu-
mlnous eyes complete the charm of ! face
naturally full of life and feeling. GInilc,
good, and loving have always fouiI Il her

voutly implorc lis favor, do hereby APP

And, / do earnestly enjoin upon all
good citizens the duty of II strict and sa-
cred observance of the day, that they
revercntly appear before God in penilen.
