fore them, and to live as he had lived, and
if they did not they would be unhappy. He
did not think that all of his children could

bought cheap carryall, and became his

that no amount Of wealth could induce him
to return TO his former mode Of living; for
if any of his children should happen to be

would be, they should not suffer in their
feelings by the reflection that theii father
