contemplation Of their appearance. These fell
lows invariably call while the head Of family
IS absent from home, and timid house wives are
compelled either to spread rich repaSt when
they come, or else expose themselves to coarse
ABUSE, and menaceS not unfrenuently accompa-

A. onergies md faculties to great old age
