discord into heaven So | leave the
subject with you hoping this will be
satisfactory" The fellow probably
looked the above over and saw it was
not quite savage enough, so adds the
postscript: "in answer to you card
Seem you got your backup you can spit
your Spite on me If you think best the
paperes ar in the office ant taken them
owt neither shall | and order then stopt
&c" Thanks for the prayer IN our
behalf and the excellent advice. As
our friend understands that 1--WE can't

We have received an anonymous let
ter signed from many scholars in the
higher department, relative to an item
in the MONITOR of last week, which
stated that there was much talk in the
village last year about too much order
in the school, this year that there is too
little of that article. The writer thinks
