"Yes, yes he's right!" rang out an earnest chorus. "Silence!" roared the schoolmaster. "An example must be made. I shall do my duty. Andrew Wildwood Graham! what do you mean, sir?" The scholars thrilled, as a new and unexpected element came into the situation. Graham, quite a young man, and double the weight of the schoolmaster, had arisen from his seat. He walked quietly between Mr.

And at break of day he marched forth with all the procession to the god, and led the chorus, sumptuously ornamented, and singing their hymns, along over the bridge.

She also gave me a hymn-book.

Warrup, a native servant, was once present when "God save the Queen" was sung in chorus, and it so affected him, that he burst into tears.
