so much terrible suffering as our citizens are
daily Is calculated to dull ones sense of reali-
cation, and what to US would hardly attract

accustomed TO them. Thus 1t is that we be-
come more fearless, and are better fitted to
endure the trying scenes we are daily wit
nesses of, and perhaps less liable to De strick-
en- with the pestilence that is prostratlng our
friends by the hundred every day.
