AS we were leaving the building, two small
boys were peering into it from the alley, and

The desire to do right had entered them, or
such question loud never have occurred to

Any one wanting full value for his money

He throws good cheer round about with no
apparent effort. He is well-barberel man.
You would lever see the Rev. Mr.. Emctt
any other way than at his best He is some
thing over six feet in height, we'll proportioned
