But I do not want those despatches to fall into the hands of bad men. You forgive?" winningly. The Parson drew a great breath. It was so sudden, so aweful, so utter. It was Piper who broke the silence from below. "We're settin on a powder-mine, sir. Is that it?" "That's it." "Ah, well," came the philosophic voice. "Short and sweet bless God. Better'n lingerin on it out." Kit panted,
"How aweful is this place!" must have been murmured by the lips of all; though there were many who have added, "This is the gate of Heaven." The gentler side of colonial religion is winningly portrayed in Whittier's Pennsylvania Pilgrim and in his imaginary journal of Margaret Smith.

Johnson gave his evidence in a slow, deliberate, and distinct manner, which was uncommonly impressive. It is well known that Mr.
Indeed, Dryden himself, in his Hind and Panther, has given such a picture of his mind, that they who know the anxiety for repose as to the aweful subject of our state beyond the grave, though they may think his opinion ill-founded, must think charitably of his sentiment: 'But, gracious GOD, how well dost thou provide For erring judgements an unerring guide!
