that the Young Mems Christian Association of this
city were running up. They have not, hitherto
been quite successful in their enterprise as was at
first supposed, although they claim that the value of
the real estate has greatly increased since the pur-

building, including cost OF lots is estimated at

pen is mghter than the sword, we are nowhere told
that it is mightier than the tongue And when both
pen and tongue are combined and by woman, it is
fair to conclude that the result is irresistible. At
least the editors OF the Sunday and weekly papers too
often find it so. Some Of Penelopes Of the Pen are
undistingushable from ladies. They taklike ladies'
