our day would take this advice, and tar

the remark that l heard made about
this young man, that he had the SWELL
head awfully.
At the Brown House I had all that l

gest to Mr.. Brown, the proprietor, that
he ought to fill up that cistern, where
we had to wash. The water stunk so
that it almost made me sick. 1t was
horribly impure, and cannot be
healthy. should not like to see
drop of that water under microscope,
and then be compelled to wash in it.
Mr.. Brown apologized for not being
able to give ne a separate room, as his
+ house was crowded. l did not care for
that. There were four beds in the room,

J. the whole truth, both that which was

v that in his favor l heard this mar

t. so worn down that he had to sit in {
