though the times be, it is meet that we
should make as good appearance as pos
si5ie. Truth 10 say. We have as little to
complain Of 10 the past as we hope to have
in tho future. A generous public, spread
ing over the whole continent, ha- patron

find ourselves at the out going of the Old

no right to complain. and far better we
fear. Than many others OF those with whom
wa are daily brought into contact. Touch
