'It may be hard to do it, Mat Kearney, but I'll pray for them in my hours of solitude, and in that blessed Retreat I'll ask for a blessing on yourself, and that your heart, hard and cruel and worldly as it is now, may be changed; and that in your last days maybe on the bed of sickness when you are writhing and twisting with pain, with a bad heart and a worse conscience when you'll have nobody but hirelings near you hirelings that will be robbing you before your eyes, and not waiting till the breath leaves you when even the drop of drink to cool your lips
That the employer should be liable to pay the personal taxes of his employees, and might recoup himself from any wages due to said hirelings or to become due. To add a further safeguard, in many instances they made the exercise of the elective franchise dependent upon the payment of such tax.
'Dan' Bowen, a prominent man in that part of the State, had been haranguing the people on the question of the war, and had denounced it as 'an infamous Abolition crusade, and the President as a villainous tyrant, and those who were standing by the Union as 'Lincoln's hirelings, and dogs with collars around their necks. This language stirred up the blood of the worst element of the people, who sympathised with secession, and had it not been for the timely interposition of many good and worthy citizens, blood would have been shed upon the streets."
We inform the first-class governments of the desire of the smaller princes to enlarge their dominions, and caution them against placing implicit trust in their representations. Thus we sow the seeds of discord among these princely hirelings, and endeavor to undermine the thrones of Germany." "Germany must throw off all her princes like ripe ulcers," exclaimed Bonnier, scornfully.
But the truth is that the dilettante treats his subject as an end, whereas the professional, pure and simple, treats it merely as a means.

It is these, and not hirelings, that have always done the greatest work.
"Writs of Assistance" were issued, whereby officers of the king were allowed to break open any citizen's store or dwelling, to search for, and seize foreign merchandise; sheriffs also were compelled to assist in the work.

I met them alone at the depot, except Gus. Baldwin and the hired hands. This evening I accompanied the remains to the boat. Oh, it was so sad to see one whom so many people professed to love, in a strange place, conveyed by hirelings and deposited like merchandise among the freight of a steamboat on the way to his long home.
Riding she had given up, and she feared to walk in the garden of the Tuileries, even in the little portion marked off for the dauphin's playground, lest she should expose herself to the coarse insults which, the basest of hirelings were ever on the watch to offer her.
He had found that all of his planning could be done in five minutes: It resolved itself down to a decision to have a talk with Barlow and then, with or without help from Ruiz Rios, to make a bolt for the open. If Bruce and Barlow would come to their senses and join him, it would all be so simple. Three able-bodied, determined Americans against a handful of Zoraida's hirelings.
Committees, going from house to house, collected arms, tent-stuffs, kettles, blankets, and what not, for our troops. There were noisy elections, arrests of Tories; and in October the death of Peyton Randolph, ex-president of the Congress, and the news of the coming of the Hessian hirelings.
