With literally nothing left to begin
with, with everything sacrificed upon
the altar of their country. with the foe
formidable, rich, respected on land and
sea and known and tried of all men,
the outlook for the Colonists was dark
and disheartening almost beyond pre-
cedent. But then their sublime cour-
age never faltered, their determination
knew no yielding, their hopes were
high and their ambitions limitless.
Sturdily, cheerily and bravely they
went to work to reconstruct and re-

reason of this is plain. The English
people have been constantly deceived
by Americans travelling in that coun-
try as TO the real state of feeling to-
ward them In the United States. There
are but few Americans who are repub-
hcans or democrats to the core; and
when they go abroad and dine at the

shed their Americanism with alacrity,
and toady to the ignorance and big
otry OF their entertainers, and assever-
