It is rare to find a prince willing to share his power, or sufficiently enlightened to yield what he will be reduced to lose. Yet Louis XVI. would have done this, if he had been less influenced by those around him, and had he followed the dictates of his own mind. But the greatest anarchy pervaded the councils of the king.
The stringy-bark grew to a fine size on the hills, and would yield, together with Ironbark and the drooping tea-tree, the necessary timber for building. A new species of Melaleuca and also of Boronia were found, when entering upon the sandstone formation.
That dread door, methought it would never yield! and Calenus oh! his voice was as the dying wind among tombs we had to wait gods! it seemed hours ere food and wine restored to him something of strength. But thou livest! thou livest yet! And I I have saved thee! This affecting scene was soon interrupted by the event just described. 'The mountain! the earthquake! resounded from side to side.
"And can a fountain yield both bitter and sweet?" demanded Claude: "or are you as changeful as is yon waning moon?" he asked half chidingly.

Cuchillo drew himself up proudly, and replied: "I know a man who will yield in nothing neither at following a trail, nor taming a wild horse to Tiburcio Arellanos; and yet this secret has been almost worthless in his keeping, since he has just sold it for the tenth part of its value!"
But no matter how violent the temptation or how prolonged and fierce the struggle against it, we can always be victorious if determined not to yield; for God gives us sufficient grace to resist every temptation; and if anyone should excuse his fall by saying he could not help sinning, he would be guilty of falsehood.
As the proverb has it, 'Hawks do not pick out hawks' eyes. But this plainly hopeless attempt to account for Christ and His work may be turned into a witness for both, and yield not unimportant lessons. This explanation witnesses to the insufficiency of all explanations which omit the supernatural.
Further, there is hardly any celebrated enterprise in War which was not achieved by endless exertion, pains, and privations; and as here the weakness of the physical and moral man is ever disposed to yield, only an immense force of will, which manifests itself in perseverance admired by present and future generations, can conduct to our goal.
