"Part with two dollars to Morgan & Stroud for the address o' the advertiser, then beat the other fella to it," was the reply. "But they wanted a hundred muckers, you read." "Oh, that's different. They ship you out for two dollars to where the job is. The contractor deducts your fare from your first month's pay and refunds it to the railroad company, or sticks it in his pocket if he's wise.
Russell failed to secure his re-election in South Devon, but a seat was found for him at Stroud, and though the premier emphatically denied that he had made any bargain with O'Connell, the Irish people believed it. Accordingly, they received the whig lord-lieutenant, Mulgrave, with a tumultuous procession, as if his advent portended the repeal of the union and extinction of tithes.

In this way the Africans are doubly the victims of our injustice; and thus does prejudice "make the meat it feeds on." I have repeatedly said that our slave laws are continually increasing in severity; as a proof of this I will give a brief view of some of the most striking, which have been passed since Stroud published his compendium of slave laws, in 1827.
Stroud had escaped and gone away into the garden by themselves, and of course their engagement was being discussed as well as the gaieties of the coming week. I got into a quiet corner and took my tea in silence, hoping I might be left unmolested, but this was not to be.
Nearly two hours passed in this unpleasant manner; but at length the joyful sound of carriage-wheels announced that the man who had been sent to Stroud had returned. Laura was eager to set out; but the motherly care of good Mrs. Jeffreys detained her for some time longer, by insisting upon wrapping her warmly up in cloaks, and mantles, and hoods, to guard against the cold of the wintry night.
"I like to fancy that Stroud himself would have given it to me, if he'd been able to say what he thought that day." And, in answer to a question I put half-mechanically "Begin again?" he flashed out. "When the one thing that brings me anywhere near him is that I knew enough to leave off?" He stood up and laid his hand on my shoulder with a laugh.
