in the last issue of the LORDS" paper
he seemeth to have visited near the CEN

of that domain.

on the ladies of that place, and even
caused them to blush.
23 And no doubt II greaVeth this of

that there should have been such a state

all such of that class.
"a But it doth seem a pleasure unto

their presiding officer whom they have
chosen to rule over them.

hath become SO thoroughly possessed OF,
and pregnant with his spirit, that the
secretary hath expanded and become en-.
largod, and is even now "PLUMFUL."

and the scribes of thu city hath assembled
together, they become very generous OF
kind heart and are big with philanthropy,
