Of all forms of conservation there is none more important than that of holding the public lands for the actual home-maker.
Though the sword of justice was displayed, even her semblance was not put on; and the forms alone of law were preserved, in order to sanctify, or rather aggravate, the oppression.

"The People," said the Protector in words which Strafford might have uttered, "will prefer their real security to forms."
In the low country between the Macon and the Mississippi were some mounted men under Captain Harrison. Residents of this region, they understood the intricate system of swamps and bayous by which it is characterized, and furnished me guides to Vicksburg.

Leaving the guard outside, Reginald passed under a low archway, when he found himself in a hall, on each side of which he could distinguish, through the dim obscurity, the hideous forms of the presiding divinities of the temple. "I see no priests or worshippers in the place," he whispered to Bikoo.
