they have been tried in the fiery furnace of
'adgersisv; they have come outspuriiied aud
solidi6ed by, the process If they have lot
much. they have not lost all. The overarcli-
ing Heavens and the mother earth are still
the same. The stars which they Watched III
their infancy still shine seienely over their
heads. The grand old mountains, the hesmillrg
rallnrs the beautiful rivers still offer the:r
charms to their eyes. Ihe moral dIgnIsy,tiie
elevation of soul, the generosity of spirit,
which have always characterized their people,
and have formed the peculiar glory and ein-
beiishments of their social state, are still un-
impaired. Brave, genial men, and graceful,
high toned women are still found iu all their
habi.a.ions. There are no ruins which the
vines OF domestic virtue will not render lcss
,ns;chtlc. There is no storm so dark that
religious faith and hope will not discover some
rent in the clouds, and descry behind tie
transient vapors the everlasting starsIG
