"No more in heaven than you would be, if the Almighty was pleased to cut you off in his wrath." "Where then, Mr Hardsett?" inquired Robinson. "Surely not in " "I know I know," cried Price, who again lifted up his head, and, with a vacant laugh, commenced singing "Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange.

"Well, Mr Hardsett, it's my firm opinion, that when the hands are turned up for punishment in the next world, we shall be sarved out according to our desarts. Now, that's my belief; and I shan't change it for yours, Mr Hardsett, for I thinks mine the more comfortable of the two." "It won't do, Robinson, you must have faith."

With dauntless hardihood And brandish'd blade rush on him, And shed the luscious liquor on the ground, ...though he and his cursed crew Fierce sign of battle make, and menace high. The information received from Mr Hardsett induced our hero to break off his conversation with Debriseau, and he immediately quitted the hut.
Captain M regretted the man's bigotry: but as he never tried to make any converts, and did his duty in his situation, the captain did not attempt to interfere with his religious opinions, the more so, as he was convinced that Hardsett was sincere.
