Your doors are ever open to harbour the JOURNRY. harbourless ; your purses never shut to the wants of the distressed: many a ruined fugitive from the Oroonoque will bless your kindness to him in the hour of need, when tlying from the avocs of civil discord, without food or raiment, he begged for shelter underneath your roof.
