came a letter from the young man, who was doing well in America. His
explanation was, that a vessel was lying at the wharf about to sail in
the morning, and the youth, who had long meditated evasion, thought it a
good opportunity, and stepped on board, after leaving the medicine at
the proper door. I spent some weeks at Dr. G.'s after the occurrence;
and very doleful we used to be about it. But the next time I went they
were, naturally, very angry with the inconsiderate young man."

FOOTNOTES

1. Wir pfluegen und wir streuen
Den Saamen auf das Land;
Das Wachsen und Gedeihen
Steht in des hoechsten Hand.
Er sendet Thau und Regen,
Und Sonn und Mondesschein;
Von Ihm kommt aller Segen,
Von unserm Gott allein:
Alle gute Gabe kommt her
Von Gott dem Herrn,
Drum dankt und hofft auf Ihn.
