cross between piety aud early old age.
He never in the paper without
aSbrevistiug a dash. He tolls along
like a stone gathering moss until lum.
5sgO strikes him 10 the back. The
gathering of wealth has but a faint
hope or shadow in bis mind. He lives
from day to day in hope of getting
conscience money from bis subscribers,
who owe him several years subscript.

was argued in September. On
