From Boston a ship sailed for Africa, with three missionaries, and twenty-two thousand gallons of New-England rum on board. Which will have the most effect: the missionaries, or the rum? Rum is victor. Some time when you have leisure, just go down any of our streets, and count the number of drinking places. Here they are first-class hotels. Marble floors. Counter polished.
What I have really come about is this: It is necessary for Elma to have a certificate from her present mistress in order to be admitted into the very first-class school in Germany where I propose to place her.
