of the day. We eat, drink, walk and
talk in a hurry. The truth is, we are
driven to our wits to get living. But
yet we make money out ofevery thing.
We dam up our rivers, and turn our
waterfalls to account. The genius Of
steam steps forward and gives us a
helping hand. We transform our forI
ests into ships and water pals, cdifices
and buttons, and into wooden nutmogs
and hams, perhaps, you malciously
add. We turn our lodges into stores
and churches; our straws into hats and
bonnets, and even our old rags into
paper. From the banks of Newfound-
land we catch fish TO feed you, and IN
the Pacific Ocean, harpoon whales for
the oil to give you light to abuse us by.
Our sloops and scAooners peddle their
boards, their bricks, and notions on
