good part came in. On an after-
noon we walked home to find that
one of the biggest-hearted, most

meal, lard, etc., in sufficiency for
many days rations. This started
our feelings with a rapid upward

to climb we found that a beautiful
maiden, one of those pure, sweet,
lovely, noble creatures that make
the earth glad with their presence,
became imbued with the thought
that she could also contribute to
our happiness with a friendly to-

such beings divine what man most

necessities were very
provided for in the articles
heretofore mentioned, she decided
that man's external appearance
should not be neglected, and by
the execution of this decision we

and elaborately furnished shaving
case, with which to smooth o'er
the rough points of the visage and
remove all that might mar

the facial expression a better re-

this good fortune there came an
additional cause for gratitude.
