They generally grow up j to be the pride of tho family circle, and a j standing nuisance to the neighborhood, and occaasionally one is permitted to survive until it discovers that it doesn't even know as much as tbe old lady in the i etory book, whose romantic history is interwoven with the manners and custom of the age in which she lived.
