cency, and propriety that his friends ineGectu.
ally interfered in her reform, and he ultimately
had to dy from her, with his child, as from an
incorrigibly base aud debauched woman !; that
she forthwith took the next and 1oweat step in
evil, and now lives BY adulterous practices in
Fowersvil1e, Howell, and other places in Michi-

has resolved in bringing up his child secure from
