There was one charge they orkshire folk had
urged strong y upon US; Hold on to your mon
ey as long as you can. From the moment sou
touch land 10 New rk-and the Americans
see that you are strangers-thoy will cheat
you on all sides. The man who kept our
lodging was Yorkshire He did not seem
very honest, but ielt that was match
for that sort Of cheat. The vile fell sick al
most as soon as we got ashore, and l went
into Broadway to get some medicine. OfI
course, was sure to be cheated The drug
gist looked like pleasant man; but L said,
That is his way of doing it, He got me
what wanted, folded it niceIy; and [ said
with quaver, How much 2 A smile rip
pied over the mans face ; he said You are
just landed, [ see. You are very welcome to
the medicine. And [ went away feeling that,
upon the whole, waS cheated.
am very glad to find Mr.. Thackery plead
ing with US that we recognize more deeply
this great idea Of Providence He makes
= Philip and Charlotte into u beautiful illustra-
tion Of it. They are troubled on every side
but when it comes to the last pinch, there is
sure to be this other power, in the form OF
nurse, or old doctor, or rich NJ P, or cock
ney publisher, to open door Of hope in the
valley of Baca. Is not every life so guided
Thank you dear Pen. Words so genuine out
; OF such a soul as yours, will be more to the

this New World, it Is this lesson-that he is
not far from oyery one of US. What should

Is this Providence merely like that pOve
