commend the subject.

in which children arc represented
as speaking of or treating their

Itshoukhnot originate or copy
paragraplis in which the nuarriage
relation ikalluded to as a snlqect

It should never reiu'csent' a-
man as making light'of his moth

It is exceeding bad ta.sto for a
newspaper to {ittemiit to cast odi
um iqion a decent female who
has arrived at thirty without piar-
rving, by alluding to her slight

it panders to a depraved moral

liarsh, leproachful language to

I am now satisfied that my own

by this course, and that my con

the irritation'und unhappines.s oi
