And, in the first place, as example is more powerful than precept, we cannot suppose that the Quakers could have shown these noble instances of religious principle, without supposing also that individuals of other religious denominations would be morally instructed by them. They who lived in the neighborhood where they took place, must have become acquainted with the motives which led to them.
And thus we are apt to fall into the opposite error of supposing that our impulses towards good action are entirely the products of education, training, public opinion, and so forth.
'You are not stark mad? said Nixon, who now saw he had miscalculated in supposing Nanty's wild ideas of honour and fidelity could be shaken even by resentment, or by his Protestant partialities. 'You shall not go back it is all a joke. 'I'll back to Redgauntlet, and see whether it is a joke he will laugh at. 'My life is lost if you do, said Nixon 'hear reason.
Still, I thought I would examine the spot, supposing that perhaps some decayed trunk of a fallen tree might lie beneath. I was advancing rapidly, when, to my horror, I saw before me a pair of glaring eyes, and there stood within the thicket an enormous lion with a huge mane.
"How places and things change!" said Madelon, as they drove along; "we have had two disappointments to-day shall we have a third, I wonder?

How write, or even how phrase his having merely breathed in his ruffian's hearing the wish that he might hear of her husband's defeat! And with what object? Here, too, a woman might, years hence, if not forgive, bend her head resignedly over the man's vile nature, supposing strong passion his motive. But the name for the actual motive? It would not bear writing, or any phrasing round it.
"Supposing you really saw that it was for Owen's good that by remaining with him you were spoiling his life, ruining his career making him unhappy, in short you mean in that case how could you prevent him searching for you?" "Yes," Toni said, her eyes on the fire, "that is what I mean." "There's only one way, Toni." She was careful to speak lightly.
But supposing him re-established on the throne, how long would it be before a revolution, or the hand of the assassin, to say nothing of the ordinary chances of nature, put an end to him, and how do we know that his successor in power would share his views? Cetywayo's rule, bad as it was, was perhaps preferable to the reign of terror that we have established, under the name of a settlement.
