We have read it carefully | true in the case of my wedding. I had always bate ag ered deeply the advisability of its publication. We have concluded, after this deliberation, to publish it. We believe it will tend to better conditions VERY, VERY SOLEMN | that it will open the eyes of parents who, in their confidence, do not see the things that are about them.
