In response to the above touching
appeal, we have only to say that the
answer must depend on the willingness
or unwillingness of our correspondent
and his venerable compeers to meet
their responsibilities" and face the

knowing, as they do, the need Of an in
creased population to occupy our waste
places. To apply the famous saying of
Lord Nelson: "Texas expects every
man to do his duty"

shift "a poor one. gran,) to do with

nan nothing is ~ important as Il
syirit of devotion, next to his Creator,
to some amiablc women, whose image
may occupy his heart and guard it
from pollution, which be.eis it on all
sides. a man ought to choose his
wife, as Mrs. Primrose did her we'd
