Well, our work, at least for the present, is
done-and we can only, in pure modesty and
sincerity, say, "would it were worthier" We
have also to say, however, in simple selt-jus-
tice, would that our labors and sacrifices had
been properly appreciated and remunerated.
Ambition, in this cause, never was, never could
be, crime of ours. Had lucre been our aim,
we should have sought it elsewhere-should
have fought for it in another field. Wemerely
strove, in our humble, but decided manner, to
be useful 10 our fellow man; to hold dread
full mirror up to nature; to compel vice to re-
feet its hideous deformity, and to show virtue,
wherever found, in its fairest proportions, even
so that che who ran might read" Eminently
useful in these respects we dared not expect
to be; moderately SO, we tried to be.


TO those whose good wishes we knew at
tended us in our rather short but very labo-
rious career, we have to tender, at parting,
our cordial acknowledgements, and express the
hope, that the disinterested friendship thus
formed may ripen, and be perfected, under bet
ter and happier auspices
