What a dangerous leap!!! but we must jump Brother Conn.

I cannot Brother Mass; let me pray and fast some time longer—little Rhode will jump the first

Poor little I, what will become of me? this leap is of a frightful size—I sink into despondency

"O'tis my Yankey boys! jump in my fine fellows; plenty molasses and Codfish; plenty of goods to Smuggle; Honours, titles and Nobility into the bargain."

"This is the produce of

the land they wish to

abandon."

"I, Strongly and most fervently

pray for the success of this

great leap which will change my

vulgar name into that of my Lord of Essex. God save

the King."
