A Personal Opinion.


The constitutional dislike to giving
an opinion on any subject which had
always distinguished the Gorham fam
lily reached it's fullest development i'm
Abel Gorham. He could scarcely be
persuaded to express his mind freely
about anything, still less about any
person. Yet he managed to preserve a
reputation for keen discernment.
Il really wish you'd tell me what
you think of young Hobbs" said one
of the summer residents. Come, Mr..
Gorham, mean to give the young
man lift if he's worth it.
MN" said Mr.. Gorham, with his
usual deliberation. When you come
to lifting, anybody that can be lifted Is
wuth lifting, seems to me. AS to Pete
Hobbs, I'm expecting he'll turn out
just about such sort of man as I
take him to be. don't know as I'm
called upon to speak any palmer n
that."-Youth's Companion
