Fancy and Hope too soon will of themselves expire. The consolation of the poor, "When God sends mouths, he sends bread," is excellent, and even authorised by the beneficent Jeus, when he says that the Father-of all, who feeds even the little birds, will not refuse his supplies to a far more important part of the creation.
