the stage by and by, but allows that she
will confine herself to the lecture rostrum

tribulations, is beginning to revive her
courage. The latest news from there is
to the effect that nearly all the grasshop-
pers have gone, and that there will be
an immense wheat crop, which is already

falls to hugging and kissing it.-Fond-
