lures, there will now be an intermission
Of fifteen minutes, during which the lee
ture will proceed as usual" This is the
way with the cesseless stream of printed
matter that flows from the presses of the

termissions, only to be swallowed up in a
speedy oblivion. Now and then some
strong, brave, true word is uttered which
goes straight home to the people. In this

and discussion. Henry Latchford has
