The third in charge is secretary and treasurer; he keeps the minutes of all meetings, collects the dues from the members, pays the bills, and is responsible for the financial department and correspondence. In well-conducted Korps, and there are many such, the president considers himself morally bound to see that all the members attend their lectures regularly.
But remember that the warrener pays a high rent, and that therefore his rabbits are as much his property as his sheep. Do not then deceive yourselves with these false distinctions. All property is sacred, and as the laws of the land are intended to fence in that property, he who brings up his children to break down any of these fences, brings them up to certain sin and ruin.
Indeed, the coiner sometimes pays for his negligence, or dishonesty, with his head. Millet, and other small seeds. This monopoly at Tangier is sold for five hundred dollars. The price varies in other places according to circumstances. Cattle.
Every other person on board has his hour, or his four hours, or his eight hours of rest, and of relief from all anxiety; but the poor captain has not a minute. He is the chief over all, it is true; but he pays dearly and deeply for this distinction in the shape of heavy responsibilities, and perpetual trials of various kinds.
He tries kidneys, bloaters, brawn, and other rude fare; he never uses a gold coffee-pot humble silver suffices; and even the urn is made of cheap metal. At eleven the hardy fellow recruits his strength with a simple draught of champagne, for which he never pays more than twelve pounds a dozen, and then four stalwart seamen row him to the landing-place.
No blasphemy, drinking, disorder, or impiety were suffered in their ranks. "Not a man swears but he pays his twelve pence."

"Do not dull people bore you?" said one of the lady-boarders, the same that sent me her autograph-book last week with a request for a few original stanzas, not remembering that "The Pactolian" pays me five dollars a line for every thing I write in its columns. There never was but one man whom I would trust with my latch-key." "Who might that favored person be?" "Zimmermann."
He belonged to that common Italian kind which has no English name Germans call them Zornnatter, in allusion to their choleric disposition. Most of them are quite ready to snap at the least provocation; maybe they find it pays, as it does with other folks, to assume the offensive and be first in the field, demanding your place in the sun with an air of wrathful determination.
Can't you hear 'em babbling about it being in the blood?" "But she might prove that none of it is true." "That doesn't make a bit of difference. Gossip pays no attention to a refutation. Leave consideration for Mrs. Lawrence out of it altogether and figure where Evelyn comes in on the backwash." "It is tough. But this is a murder case and, anyway, I don't think she killed Warren."
It pays better to conserve our natural resources than to destroy them, and this is especially true when the national interest is considered. But the business reason, weighty and worthy though it be, is not the fundamental reason. In such matters, business is a poor master but a good servant.
