It is a striking fact in this connection that in the commercial treaty of January 23, 1860, between France and England one of the articles provides that the ad valorem duties which it imposes shall be converted into specific duties within six months from its date, and these are to be ascertained by making an average of the prices for six months previous to that time.

And to stimulate the mental antics in which he was so much interested, he said, "Do you believe she is in hell?" "I refrain from judging her. She may have repented in the moment of death. God is her judge. But I shall never forget that morning; and I feel that my presence at your party imposes on me some measure of responsibility.

As to you, Jack, I expect to see you a Gallant and honourable fellow that will always scorn to tell the least lie in your life.
