In their lives they are without a friend; for society in guilt brings nought of comfort, and honours are but emptiness: Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine bright; But looked to near, have neither heat nor light. Their plots and counterplots drive repose far from them: There's but three furies found in spacious hell; But in a great man's breast three thousand dwell.
Each townsman felt that he was the heir to all the glories achieved or inherited by his community.

"Well dame, I don't know but you are glorious yet! But tell me, what has got over my master to-day? Was the unknown lady unkind? Something has angered him, I am sure!"
One of the greatest offices in the province that of the surveyor-general was held by one person for thirty-three years, and this individual was in no sense responsible to any authority in New Brunswick except the governor.
