My brother had begun to print a newspaper, "The New England Courant," the second that appeared in America. Some of his friends thought it not likely to succeed, one newspaper being enough for America; yet at this time there are not less than five-and-twenty. To this paper I began to contribute anonymously, disguising my hand, and putting my MSS. at night under the door of the printing-house.

"But, my heavens, how can you explain to the world?" he cried, in deepest distress. "I have thought of all that. Providence gave me the solution," she said, her face beaming with the joy of victory. "Not even Providence can supply an explanation," he groaned. "You forget Courant, the dead man. He cannot deny the charge if I conclude to accuse him of the crime. He is the solution!"

For I shall want to hear what is said and done about my unauthorized departure. I suppose that a runaway can not expect many favorable remarks." "Perhaps the Gazette will say that the editor of the Courant has run away," suggested John, in a vein of pleasantry. "There will be considerable more truth in that than I told the captain.

On the red-velvet hangings of the bed was an immense coat-of-arms, worked in silk and surrounded by a collar, with the golden sheep hanging from the ring.

Return directly to M. de Montgaillard, and tell him to communicate my answer to the Prince." Fauche immediately departed, leaving M. Courant with Pichegru.

This well-pointed censure, in connection with the many flings and attacks that had preceded it, aroused the General Court to act in their defence without delay. The club under whose auspices the Courant was conducted, assembled at the office as soon as they knew the decision of the Court, to consider what should be done.

Then she shooed them out and went about her work of "redding up," pacing the earthen floor with the proud tread of victory. Courant was sitting outside on the log bench. She moved to the door and smiled down at him over the tin plate she was scouring. "Come in and sit with her while I get the supper," she said. "Don't talk, just sit where she can see you."

Whether the Landholder of the Connecticut Courant, and of the Maryland Journal, is the same person, or different, is not very material; I however incline to the former opinion, as I hope for the honour of human nature, it would be difficult to find more than one individual who could be capable of so total a disregard to the principles of truth and honour.
