valuable advice in regard to his charges,
should any others ever be so unfortunate as to

but our natives said there was large one,

there were abundance of pigs, dogs and

around us could break In the morning we
learnt that our honest guides had slept at the
former house, where they had been feasted
with the fat of the land, after having had the
cool lnrudcnce to recommend our pushing
on to the next. Our lodging place was on
the outskirts Of dense forest, four miles in
width, through which road made of the
trunks of ferns, after the corduroy fashion,
led. a three miles farther walk brought us
to l,ilo village where (to use the tautology
of most travelers) we were most Hospitality

reckon up, in our thoughts, the opposite
dangers OF drought or of moisture, Of pnr,
ching heat, or Of pnching and uniinelv
cold the flights, which may faint The
ear T; the worm, which may consume the
root and all the other alarms which the
husbandman feels or fears, We cannot but
be aware that something more than The
industry of man is required to make him
happy or prosperous, and that il is with
good reason, fhat, in onrdaily PRAYERS, we
ask our "daiIy bread" Of God since no
day IN the year can be found in which His
blessing is not needed, either to preserve
The seed, or toprosper the tender stalk, Of
TO I'LL the ear, or to rebuke the mildow or
the storm, by which the maturer crop is
endangered And, even when the food Of
many days is waving before our eyes, we
cannot choose but feel an anxious ioy, a
'olemn, and in some degree, mournfu
hankfillness, when we compare our own
Unworthy lives with The unbounded mercy
# God when VIC recolIect how little and
low seldom we have thought Of Him, who
,areth for US continually and when we
remble, LEST, evenanow, our sins should
interrupt The sleam% His mercy, and that
he improper use which we too often make
