With respect to my own visits at country houses, I have generally been fortunate in the weather, and always in the company; but I can easily conceive, that a man situated as Mr.Slick appears to have been with respect to both, would find the combination intolerably dull.

But to return to my narrative.
Early on the following day we accompanied our luggage to the wharf, where a small steamer lay to convey us to the usual anchorage ground of the packets, in the bay.

We were attended by a large concourse of people.

The piety, learning, unaffected simplicity, and kind disposition of my excellent friend, Mr.Hopewell, were well known and fully appreciated by the people of New York, who were anxious to testify their respect for his virtues, and their sympathy for his unmerited persecution, by a personal escort and a cordial farewell.
"Are all those people going with us, Sam ?" said he; "how pleasant it will be to have so many old friends on board, won't it ?" "No, Sir," said the Attache, "they are only a goin' to see you on board--it is a mark of respect to you.

They will go down to the "Tyler," to take their last farewell of you." "Well, that's kind now, ain't it ?" he replied.
