to be jolly unless one is jolly under
difficulties" If this be true, our time

is a cool, fresh breeze stirring that
saves one the trouble Of tanning; but
with all this there are some complaints
made concerning the heat and dust, on
the principle, suppose, that the boy
went on when he cried without know
ing what for, only that nothing don
