it is really absurd to make such a re-
quest of him that is out OF his line OF
business, although this model Is
humble christian, prays long prayers
at church, (but never has prayers at

bands would follow this one to his
abode, such men as these don't own

takes out dime or quarter or naII
dollar or a few times as much as
dollar and when ne happens to miss
it he abuses her wofully calls her
theft &c. He is positively so mean
that he sometimes wont buy his wife
a spool of thread although she has q
large family to sew for and her sew
ing must lie undOne for q week or
more until his contrary spell wears
off. Even so about buying soap for
his wife to do the washing for her

wont get her any soap until he gets
ready yet he is never known
to be without pipe and tobacco or
cigars: 1 know one man and Goo
