They are chosen for life, and their number is unrestricted. At present there are about forty members. The functions of this council are very similar to those of our House of Peers, and consist, to a great extent, in registering the decrees of the Lower House. The qualification for electors is a 50l. freehold, or an annual rent of 7l. 10s.
After much inquiry, we agreed to fix the suffrages of boroughs at an occupation of 7l. value. The House of Commons was densely packed when Mr. Gladstone introduced the measure on March 12, but, in spite of his powers of exposition and infectious enthusiasm, the Government proposals fell undeniably flat. Broadly stated, they were as follows.
But most of all those do prove themselves the enemies of God, that make the holiness, the goodness, the religion and sobriety that is found in the people of God, the object of their wrath and hellish cruelty. Ver. 7l. "And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein."
Before the freight outfit arrived, some one took Abb Blocker, a trail foreman for his brother John, to task for having an odd ox in his wheel team. The animal was a raw, unbroken "7L" bull, surly and chafing under the yoke, and attracted general attention.
My Papa's large silver-gilt shoe-buckles for H., and red silver-laced saddle-cloth." "For Mrs. Mountain. "What do you mien, you silly old Mountain, by sending an order for your poor old divadends dew at Xmas? I'd have you to know I don't want your 7l. 10, and have toar your order up into 1000 bitts.

It should be added that the owners of Rinvyle were not themselves dealers in kelp, like some middlemen along the coast, and that their "people," save the mark! could sell to whom they pleased, but the lords of the seashore took their third of the proceeds. Within comparatively recent times kelp has been worth 6l. and 7l. per ton.
Today, however, I knew that there would be again several pounds required, as, besides the daily provisions, there were coals needed, the treacle-casks in two houses were empty, and there was but 5s. in hand. I gave myself therefore to prayer this morning. WHILST I WAS IN PRAYER, Q. Q. sent a cheque for 7l. 10s. Thus the Lord has again most seasonably helped us out of our difficulty.
"A cowman expects to miss his dinner occasionally," admitted Priest; "that's why they all look so long and hungry. Where does that 7L steer range?" "The big mottled fellow? Why, down near the corral," replied the boy, repeating and answering the question. "I want to look him over," simply said the old foreman. The two remounted and continued down the valley.
"Did you notice a big steer that came in with the last cattle, and which was overlooked in branding?" inquired Priest, meeting the boy's query with a question. "A mottled beef, branded 7L?" "That's the steer. Why do you reckon we overlooked branding him?" "Dell and I thought it was an oversight."
There are, however, two hindrances in the way, want of means for the Orphans, and want of means for my own personal expenses. Today I have received a cheque from Q. Q. for 7l. 10s. for the Orphans, which came, therefore, very seasonably. Also 4l. besides has came in since the day before yesterday. Sept. 5. Today a sister sent me 5l. for myself, to be used for the benefit of my health.
