shipped to Aristopia, where they found comfortable homes, and the women were soon married.
Governor Morton also, at his own expense, founded and sustained orphan asylums at Mortonia and Morgania, in which thousands of orphans brought from European cities were reared and educated, both intellectually and industrially, into good, capable, and industrious citizens of Aristopia. They acquired the Aristopian spirit more readily than the adult immigrants, as they had not so many European prejudices to overcome.
That the heterogeneous materials, gathered in so many countries, of different sects, nationalities, and languages, did not assimilate without some effervescence may easily be imagined. There were many broils, especially on religious matters, which gave Governor Morton much uneasiness; but they passed over without serious consequences. Religious bigotry in Aristopia was to that in Europe as vaccinosis is to small-pox. In Aristopia was seen what Campbell sings of Wyoming:
And spoke in friendship every distant tongue;
Men from the blood of warring Europe sprung,
Were but divided by the running brook."
