little and common. Take, for instance:

she would lie and sleep awhile when
the breakfast hour comes, patiently aud
uncomplainingly she tukes her timely
seat ut the table. Though exhausted
and weary, she serves all with the re-
freshiug cup of coffee or tea before she
sips it herself, and often the cup Is
handed back to her to be rc6lIed. before
she has had time to taste her own; 70
you hear her complain, this weary moth
er, that her breakfast is cold before she
has had time to cat it2 q And:this-is not
for, one, but every morning perhaps
through the year. Do you cal! this .

of removals is no small item and above

their habits, if not in their morals. Let

increase on tobacco is less than had
