However, much pleasure men may find in the
domestic circle, they aro very fond Of each otl,-
er's society. and enjoy It as change, II not zo-

md is not favorable to tho cultivation Of tho
domestic virtues.
Some twenty self-eonBtitutod bachelors 1avo

Gnd by giving and receiving various hosptali-

of War, md Ind occasion to 500 Pope, stationed

All this while, tho stranger preserved his per-
