Who believes that Nero enthroned was happier than Paul in chains? We are often mistaken in calling such or such an afflicted man good, and such or such a prosperous man bad. The miseries of good men are generally occasioned by their own faults, since they have been so fool-hardy as to run counter to the laws by which God acts, or have aimed at certain ends while neglecting the appropriate means.

"Remain, Gahan, a welcome guest until you choose to leave us," replied The Warlord; "but you must forgive any seeming inattention upon the part of Helium until my daughter is restored to us." "You daughter! Restored!
