the girls together with the others.
am extremely unhappy to learn about
the discord in our family, to that eff
feet 1 now come to a conclusion that
the children dishonored their mother
and mother do not love her children;
as ought to be loved. I will
not desire to know more who is right

must love her flesh and bone is the
natural policy
THE plantation stocks or shares are

deed to derive the benefit. After de-
Quoting the yearly expenses the bal
, ance are for future use should the plan
tation stocks fail to give an income.
AS planting are not always sustained
to be productive and good in every
year. Now think of the consequences.
The family expenses should amount
to six hundred dollars a month. and
e that sum think is quite sufficient, and
