“ Built Upon the Bluffs ” is the title ofa new novel. It is, presumably, a novel for gamesters.—“ Nashville Sunday Times.”
No one ever knew an American ao mean that he wouldn’t second tho motion, no matter what it was.
“ I’ll teach yon to lie, and steal, and smoke, and use profane language,” ss.id an irate Galveston parent to his eldest offspring, at the same time swinging a goodsized sapling. “I’ll teach you, you young scamp.” “Never mind, father, I know all them branches already.” Two centuries ago not one in a hundred wore stockings. Fifty years ago not a boy in a thousand was allowed to run at large at night. Fifty years ago not a girl in a thousand made a waiting-maid of her mother. Wonderful improvements in this age.
