more quietly. g. can tell you," said,

"How do they?" asked Jennie, archly.
Ever since the good deacon was mar

not only good English, but the only word

for others, clinging to ones own ways
in little things. Suppose after waiting
SABBATH morning ten minutes, while the
bell is tolling deacon Upper makes the
