What is its name, Mrs. Gordon?" "It wasn't named," said Mrs. Gordon. "Guess you'll have to name it yourself, Miss Ellis." "Camilla Jane," said Miss Rosetta without a moment's hesitation.

"When he was at home, he was always saying things which our mother called ’impolite,’ our father ’outlandish,’ and the blacks ’right down heathenish.’ However, with all his roughness, I believe there never was a more truly honorable man, or a more sincere friend."

Not uncommonly effigies are burned in these fires, or a pretence is made of burning a living person in them; and there are grounds for believing that anciently human beings were actually burned on these occasions.
