his life, SO much so as to be unable to
recognize his wife if she were four rods
of, cannot appreciate the benefits which
come with the use of spectacles. 1t IS
the height OF foolishncss to go through the
world troubled with myopy, when a little
money can obviate all the difficulty. Last
week, Henry Wolfe, of So jackson street,
St. Paul, presented the pur.bl Ealf OF

glasses again, and we look upon Wolfe as
a public benefactor and personal friend
