They commenced operations by rum

kins; then they thought to take a

alteration, concluded that it WAS too
thin. and satisfied themselves by stop
ping short against the side Of his
house. At this moment the idea I'M
pressed itself upon them that life
was not worth the living. and they
started to hang themselves on

strong enough for that purpose ant
death was once more cheated Of it
willing prey. Then thinking thai
the warm weather was the harbingel
Of ethereal spring. they distributed
Several barrels Of coal over the back

human nature could endure, so Mr.

that they should be stopped If it tool
