"Come, old Psalmody!" cried one of the troopers, raising his pistol, and addressing their intended victim, who was engaged in prayer; "make ready we have other jobs on hand and we gave you time to speak a prayer, but not to preach." Mowbray rushed forward. He sprang between the troopers and their victim. "Hold! ye murderers, hold!" he exclaimed.
"And think of our Institute without a single subscriber!" said Mick. "The gals is the only thing what has any spirit left. Julia told me just now she would go to the cannon's mouth for the Five Points any summer day." "You think the spirit can't be raised, Chaffing Jack," said Devilsdust very seriously.

Montenero, after thanking Lord Mowbray and his cousin, the Bank director, who had shown and explained every thing to us with polite and intelligent patience, observed that the Bank was to him a peculiarly interesting sight. "You know," said he, "that we Jews were the first inventors of bills of exchange and bank-notes we were originally the bankers and brokers of the world."
