The Floral King. 211
““My DEAR RELATIVES,
‘My BROTHERS-IN-LAW, MY SISTERS
AND MY BROTHER.
“Tt generally happens, that the fledgelings which
have been hatched in the same nest, as soon as they
are feathered fly away, each one in his own direction,
so that they seldom twitter together on the same tree.
“Fate has been propitious to you, in that it has
ordained that you should live and dwell together on
the soil of your forefathers, when I have been
thrown so far away from my dear relatives, where
I must live a stranger by myself.
“From my youth trusting in my God, I have
worked and toiled, yea, it may almost be said, more
than anyone else, and have experienced the truth
that the more a lamp burns, the sooner it will be
consumed; also that dry log-fuel never lasts so
long as the damp wood. The Supreme Being has
granted me His blessing in my calling, and given
me all that my heart has asked and wished for. I
have got a respected appointment, a careful wife,
dear children, and some little property.
