Quite a brisk breeze was blowing, and, as the position of the party was sheltered against this annoyance, Hopkins proposed that they should remain where they were until morning. 'We couldn't get a better place, said Johnny Brainerd, who was quite taken with the idea. 'It's a good place and it's a bad one, replied the trapper, who had not yet made up his mind upon the point.
When a hard task has to be done, you will find it no help to begin to catalog the difficulties. Just fear not, and do it. Now, you are going to cultivate these virtues, Brainerd, because you see that I am right and because, after all, you are a man of good judgment and reason. "Never mind the contract. When you think my advice has proved its value, send me what you think it is worth."
As he did not recognize me I thought I would have a little fun with him, and after introducing my polish, I produced a small book containing the names of my patrons at Brainerd, and said: "Mister, I have here the names of those who have been buying, which I will read, to show you that it is an article of value and one that is appreciated by almost every housekeeper."
I took up the two sheets, and was about to thrust them into their envelope, when Brainerd suddenly said: 'Hold on, boy! there's something written across the back of that copied letter. I turned it over and read the half-dozen lines written thereon: "Carroll Rae, if found, is to be told at once that his brother, Sir Hugo, is dead." 'Oh! ejaculated Brainerd; 'so it's not his father.

"Queer, but your head clerk and cashier seem to have plenty of time for conversation. They have been scrapping for fifteen minutes about chances of the Pirates and the Cubs.
When the Northern Pacific Railway failed in 1873, the crash involved a little railroad known as the St. Paul and Pacific, running out of St. Paul for a couple of hundred miles westward, with a branch to the north joining the Northern Pacific at Brainerd, Minnesota. The St.
The train flew down the line like a scared rabbit and in thirty minutes reached the camp at Blake Park. I had arrived there that morning from the south for special service and when I saw Brainerd climb down off of that engine his face was smutty, but his eyes twinkled and he came towards me with a broad grin and said, "Hello, Bates, where in thunder did you spring from?"
Holbrook smelt the beans cookin', an' he says he 's got to have a plate uv 'em. Now, what shall I do about it? "'Waal, doctor, says Dock Smith, 'what do you think 'bout it? "'He 's got to die anyhow, says Dock Brainerd; 'an' I don't suppose the beans 'll make any diff'rence. "'That's the way I figger it, says Dock Smith; 'in all my practice I never knew of beans hurtin' anybody.
Yea, I thought that had I now a thousand gallons of blood in my body, I could spill it all for the sake of the Lord Jesus. And if you, my brother, far on in the way of Salvation, still think sometimes that, after all, you must be a reprobate because of your filthy rags, read what David Brainerd wrote with his half-dead hand on the last page of his seraphic journal: 'How sweet it is to love God and to have a heart all for God!
