    land,) we arrived at tlie ilmericanized city of Liverpool ]*iist half an hour before the steamer Atlantic was ready to leave her docks. With grateful hearts we turned our backs upon Albion's shore; not but that the people treated us well enough, and would have paid liberally to have seen us, still, we had enemies there who we thought would injure our master and protector, and act in bad faith toward us. There are many things of interest we missed seeing in England, on account of the brief time we had to stay there. Perhaps now that we are grown up girls, and like the rest of the sex, with tongues, and a knowledge of their use, we may go across the w^ater once more. A gentleman who called to see us when we were on exhibition in Baltimore, told us that the double-headed girl was often inquired after, and that he thought we would prove a good card there. At present our business relations are such that we feel in duty bound to stay at home. We might, could w^e feel disposed, tell many anec- dotes of our travels, but we think a simple narrative of ourselves is all that at present those of our patrons who buy our little book will require.
