The audience, not knowing what was expected of them, applauded and then looked at one another in aggrieved surprise.
I see not any road of perfect peace which a man can walk, but after the counsel of his own bosom. Let him quit too much association, let him go home much, and stablish himself in those courses he approves. The unremitting retention of simple and high sentiments in obscure duties is hardening the character to that temper which will work with honor, if need be in the tumult, or on the scaffold.
After years of unremitting toil he found you, and is here to-night to act as your best and nearest friend." Ralph had sat during this recital, with astonishment plainly depicted on his face.

For woman's enfranchisement her labors have been unremitting and unwearied for the last eighteen years. She is a frank, generous, self-sacrificing woman, of a kind, tender nature, firm principle, great executive ability, and in every relation of life true as the needle to the pole.
