It contains a deep moral, if anybody has sense enough to see it; if not, I have a new project in my eye for next session, of which timely notice shall be given.

But he hoped very soon, under the auspices of the Glenmutchkin Railway Company, to see a new periodical established, under the title of "Tracts for the Trains."
Heckles may he die an evil death! has repudiated, become a lame duck, and waddled; but no doubt his estate will pay a dividend." "So, then, we are clear of the whole Glenmutchkin business, and at a handsome profit." "A fair interest for the outlay of capital nothing more. But I'm not quite done with the concern yet." "How so? not another bearing operation?" "No; that cock would hardly fight.

Independently of the surpassing grandeur of its mountain scenery, which shall immediately be referred to, and other considerations of even greater importance, GLENMUTCHKIN is known to the capitalist as the most important BREEDING STATION in the Highlands of Scotland, and indeed as the great emporium from which the southern markets are supplied.
