hope you will pardon me Just here,
but I really believe the wives and
mothers of this land are responsible for
most of mems wrong doing because they
are always so ready to cOndOne and cover

ing man with terrible habit to reform
him, and in two weeks he had rather get
drunk in her presence than any where
else on earth, because he knows che will
conceal and excuse it and the world will
condemn him. Away with such wrOng-dO-

countenance or favor it.-Dr. Galloway,

insignificant pro rata of the extra taxa
ton imposed. The colored people are
here and are here tn stav and forming
