That the inventor, harassed on all sides by pirates, unscrupulous men, and false friends, should, in spite of his Christian philosophy, have suffered from occasional fits of despondency, is but natural, and he must have given vent to his feelings in a letter to his true friend and able business agent, Mr. Kendall, for the latter thus strives to hearten him in a letter of April 20, 1849:

For his own part, he found that having made bold to keep this man in the world he had assumed a curious responsibility towards him. It became his business to show him that he was not shunned by his fellow-creatures, to hearten and cheer him up. It was heavy work. Hicks with his joke was sometimes odious company, but he was also sometimes amusing; without it, he was of a terribly dull conversation.

"Why, they have to hearten their friends!" "No good," said Betty, pursing her pretty lips; "and they have fought so hard." "And may win yet," said George, an odd sparkle in his eye, as he stood looking over his tiny companion to the door. "Nobody is sure of anything, I can tell you." "I don't believe you care," she said audaciously, shaking her golden head at him. "Pray, why?"

But as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee to do soThen follow the words about the prophet, “The Lord thy God will raise unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee of thy brethren like unto me, unto him ye shall hearkenAll which is as much as to say, “When you come into Canaan, do not hearten to a diviner, &c., as the Canaanites do, for the Lord will give you a prophet of your own brethren inspired like me, to guide any instruct you, to whom ye shall hearkenOr rather, “Do not hearken to diviners, &c., but to prophets, who shall be raised up among you

It was ill for David to fall thus below himself, but well for us that the eclipse of his faith and love should be recorded, to hearten us, when the like emotions fall asleep in our souls.

"Well, and I'll break my knife too if it will hearten you up." "And these," cried De Catinat, tugging at his silver shoulder-straps, "they must go." "Ah, you draw ahead of me there, for I never had any. But come, friend, let me know the trouble, that I may see if it may not be mended." "To Paris! to Paris!" shouted the guardsman frantically. "If I am ruined, I may yet be in time to save them.

Curse the big brute! he thinks I have given myself away. But I'll show him!" He was already mellow, but he took another swig to hearten him, as was his habit. "There's a damned sight too much yell about your laugh, Armstrong," he said, truly enough, getting a courage from his anger and the drink. "No gentleman laughs like that."

Through His tenderness and care the sorrowful found comfort, and through His Words the despairing received the blissful consolation of their incomparable Lord. He would hearten the despised and the rejected with outpourings of grace.

"He hath indeed, madam, and she did greatly hearten him, as touching his majesty's condition; is it not so, your highness?" Tom mumbled something that stood for assent, but felt that he was getting upon dangerous ground. Somewhat later it was mentioned that Tom was to study no more at present, whereupon her little ladyship exclaimed "'Tis a pity, 'tis a pity! Thou wert proceeding bravely.

It remains with us to hearten confidence in a past revelation, which will stand unshaken, whatever forces war against it. Its foes and its friends are alike short-lived as the summer's grass.
