Mine, of cours, Though and sooth! gotten in To-day at the age of thir- ‘& man of good education, and endowed the necessary self-respect so far an Position and association are concerned, here I am with nothing to show for- my squandered substance, In my opinion, the Sunday beer question fe the most miserable sort of drasted rot, Of all the nonsensical this {9 one of the worst, If ® man want for his Sunday @inner, why, in the name of goodnens, can't he buy it on Saturday?
