Mr. Thompson was not a inau to very long tolerate such action on his son's part; and one morning, aft-ei one of Hill's excesses, he spoke to him con veniing the matter. Hill could not deny it, and there was a poor chance for an apology. The old eentleniHn became enraged at hill's silence, and thus addressed him: 44l>i 11, I have raised you up as carefully as ever a child was raised.
