Not knowing what to say, he consulted an old bishop, who advised him to speak of “his own experience,” which he did, and he did well for the first time.

My fosterfather handed the five cents with the remark: “God havemercy on our people if they have to rely ou that sort of Protector.’ And so you hear throughout this country “MONOP- OLISTS” telling you: “We are your benefactors and protectors.” May God save the “American People” runaways, balkers. plungyre, ete. to be bandied aud Dbrokeat these exlihitions free of change.
