made it or nut-, according to circumstances;
their wives and daughters came in to spend

their object ; others came in for

AY ho can toll what great transactions were

tlie money was being found in some
invention that will provide. broadcloth at.
sixpence n-yard; perhaps that vulgarlocking

their lmts, on account of his reputed
Wealth, is buying what he knows very well
lie never will be able to pay for ; and who
knows but that those sanctified individuals
in white neckcloths are contracting for a
