At last she could bear it no longer. They were singing now a terrible thing with a refrain of oaths and GEE-UPS, and whistling noises like the cracking of whips a bullock drivers' camp ditty. Bridget shudderingly decided that a row in Whitechapel could be nothing to this in the matter of bad language.
Political persecution, and not the extortion they suffer, is the refrain of all the speakers at negro meetings that are held in encouragement and aid of the emigration.
So far, therefore, as man from this freedom has the thought and desire to shun evils because they are sins, and prays to the Lord for help, so far does the Lord take them away and give man the ability to refrain from them as if of himself, and then to shun them.

Perhaps, at such a time, my dear girl, it may seem unkind to throw the least shadow over the bright sky of your happiness; but I cannot refrain from giving you some little advice now, at the outset of your new life. You are looking forward are you not? with perfect confidence to the future.
I will therefore read to you from the Psalms of David, who was a man tried and afflicted." She commenced reading in a low, gentle voice. Jack could with difficulty refrain from making himself known, for he at once recognised that sweet voice which he had known so well. Jack at length could restrain himself no longer. "Elizabeth," he exclaimed, "Elizabeth de Mertens! do you not know me?"
