"Yes, Tom; but I see no reason why you should feel uneasy. With the help you are to send him, there will be no trouble about his paying his interest regularly." "I know that, John; but I shall feel uneasy until the mortgage is paid off, and he is out of Squire Hudson's power." "For how long a time has the farm your father owns been encumbered with this mortgage?" "For ten years, at least."
I was not long bringing around me twenty or thirty young men, who enrolled themselves, gladly, in my Sabbath school, and were willing to meet me regularly, under the trees or elsewhere, for the purpose of learning to read. It was surprising with what ease they provided themselves with spelling books. These were mostly the cast off books of their young masters or mistresses.
The crisis came one morning when the meager supply of repulsive food had shrunken to the scope of a few days' rations, the quantity always dwindling in a regularly diminishing ratio; it had recently barely enabled the men to sustain the usual guard duty, and they lay about the parade at other times, or at full length on the porches of the barracks, too feeble and dispirited to stir hand or foot without necessity.
In about ten days, however, we had gotten the ship into high order and ready for sea, and now the glory and honour of command, like my only epaulet, that had been soaked while on duty in one or two showers, and afterwards regularly bronzed in the sun, began to tarnish, and lose the new gloss, like every thing else in this weary world.
"It's the nose of my father, and I've just got to kiss it! It's not a mite of use promising that I won't.

I'm about done for." "Nonsense, man! Don't let the professor see how weak you are." "But I can't help it, sir. I'm that sore all over that it's just as if I'd been broken. Go on and leave me; I ain't a bit o' good." "Leave you here in the desert to die?" "Yes, sir; it don't matter a bit. I'm regularly done for." "Nonsense! Rouse yourself like a man." "I couldn't do it, sir.
Trollope says; and where and how were we to get it? We knew very few persons in the city; and how were we to accomplish the matter?

"So far as my memory extends, he always showed a deep conviction of the divine authority of the Holy Scriptures, of the institutions of Christianity, and of the importance of personal religion.
