May you, dear young readers, be loving, and merciful, and kind; and never stand for a moment in the hateful character of oppressors, where it is alike your duty and your happiness to help the defenceless and to protect the weak! Poor Puss! I have not so much to say for her as for the noble dog. The cat is more selfish, and not so trustful; neither does she often show so much affection for us.
The saint got off his horse, kissed the ground, and muttered half aloud: "Allah is Allah, and Mahomet is his prophet." "Rise," said the other; "the true believer only kneels to Allah." "Are you not Allah's messenger? Have you not come to chastise the infidel oppressors of the holy island?" "I am he, but yet I say rise. The brothers know that I am here.

Not infrequently, the degenerate white men of these regions, yielding to the subtle and insidious influence of the tropics, inflict the most outrageous abuses upon the natives, and even kill them on slight provocation. The natives in turn hate their oppressors, and when the chance comes betray them or leave them to perish in sickness and misery.
