ably every one else who was present in
the Courthouse to-day has forgotten the
extraordinary curse by which he bouhd
himself, but the remembrance of it
keeps me restless In spite of my fatigue,

heaven, :" If am not speaking Gods
truth, may my body never turn to dust
in the grave"
Poor jacob hated by all but me, per-
haps God in his mercy may yet lead you
to repentance.

Jacob saw to the young mans
"Sec that sneaking hypocrite yonder,

students. or drink beer till YOU are like
a brute. then take a little trouble to

angry push towards the couple in the
arbor.
Peter tried hard to please his uncle,
but he set about in such an awkward
manner, and got SO soon tired, that he
never made any progress in supplanting
Gustel.
Half an hours conversation with the
poor invalid was more than he could put
up with, and he was glad to rush away al

where the students spent their time in
gambling and drinking.
