A little helpless, suffering child was unconsciously restraining the brute nature within them.

The speaker of the assembly was requested to state especially the advantages of freedom both to the master and the slave; and he kindly communicated the following reply: "The benefits to the master are conspicuous he has got rid of the cark and care, the anxiety and incessant worry of managing slaves; all the trouble and responsibility of rearing them from infancy, of their proper maintenance in health, and sickness, and decrepitude, of coercing them to labor, restraining, correcting, and punishing their faults and crimes settling all their grievances and disputes.

Darwood did not give me a very cordial welcome; he ordered me out of his camp. Not only that, but he threatened me in case we persisted in following him. I think he would have used his pistol on me if I had not gone away when I did." "Is this true, Darwood?" questioned the Professor, who was restraining himself with an effort.

Before any one can draw a breath in relief, Hardin, bending himself below the restraining arms, springs to his feet and levels a pistol full at Joe Woods' breast. "You hound!" he yells. His arm is struck up; Raoul Dauvray has edged every moment nearer the disgraced millionaire. The explosion of the heavy pistol deafens those near.

"He will tell me I was not worthy of his friendship, much less of his love that I deceived him;" and the thought of Arden, after all, perhaps, had the most weight in restraining her from the fatal step. For then, to her perverted sense of duty, this marriage began to seem like an heroic self-sacrifice.

But before the animal could continue his rebellious tactics a hand like iron had reached for, grasped the bridle; those who watched could realize a great strength in the restraining fingers, the unusual power of Steele's muscles. The black horse, trembling, soon stood still; the bagpipes passed on, and Steele looked up at the girl. "If you care to dismount " "Thank you," she said. "I'm not afraid.

And he in the same volume discusses most profitably another question akin to it To what extent, and by what principles, the interference of others is justifiable, in restraining the liberty of taste and action for each individual?

'Poor Jack refused to let me pay for it, answered Lady Maulevrier. 'He is vastly independent, and I fear somewhat reckless. 'I like him for his independence; but he mustn't be reckless, said Mary, severely. He was to be the master in all things! and yet she was to exercise a restraining influence, she was to guard him against his own weaknesses, his too generous impulses.

He is exposed to all the temptations of a stranger in a strange land, removed from the restraining influences of a community where one is known. Subject an equal number of men of any other nation to this severe test, and I doubt much if they would bear it as well. The mission school serves the purpose of a strong social support.
