PAINFUL REFLECTIONS
The painful reflection incidental to
the subject is that other F.stes, IL not al
of them, are destined sooner or later II

ton ON this continent cannot necessarily
survive the means Of subGistence afford
ed it by the country. II what science
says is true, the white man has got *

that the Chinese must vanish, but il
must be confessed they are very much
better adapted to continue existence o.
this hemisphere than ourselves. for the
obvious reason that they win survive n.
here, and that they viii con4fnne IN then
own manner the civilization which w
have made an attempt to start.

men are to be believed, will not be able
