ducal palaces in Great Britain. They are
the focus of the best things that are pos
sihle in art, in literature, in architecture,
the accumulaIons Of other estates until
their wesith is beyond calculation, ard
( their grandeur beyond description. Oae Of
the castles has q cabinet set with gems
that cost $780, GOO, and the walls OF it
bloom with Rem5Tandts and Clau3es and
Poussins snd Guides aud Raphaels, sud
there er9 Shutdown focks in summer
| grazing On it's lawns, and Arab steeds
prsncing st the doorways on the "frst
! open day ct the Kennels" From the one
castle tae duchess has removed with her
| children because she can 10 longer endure
the orgies OF her husband, the duke, and IN
| the other castle the duchess remains
confronted by insults ard denominations
in the presence Of which do not thin k
| God or decent society requires s good
| woman 70 remain Alas for those ducel
country seats! They on large scale IL
lustrate, whist On smaller scsle may be
seen in naoy pisces, that without moral
character in hus and all the ccct ssorlt S
OF wealth to wife's soul are tantalZa-
ton and poCkary. When Abigail finds
Nsbsl, her husband, beastly drunk, SIS she
comes home from interceding for his
| fortune and life, it WAS DO alleviation that
| the cid brute had possessions in Carmel
and "was very great and had 5000 sheep
| and 1000 costs" and he the worst goat
among them. The animal il his nature
seized the soul n it's mouth and ran off
with it.
