Were I mistress of a family, I would not either take to myself, or give to servants, the pain of keeping those I had reason to suspect. People low in station have often minds not sordid. In the one, honest is their chief pride. In the other, the love of power, of grandeur, of pleasure, mislead; and that and their ambition induce a paramount pride, which too often swallows up the more laudable one.
McGill, who had assumed a very considerable fortune within the country, did not, like many others, leave the Province and spend his money in some other part of the globe, but having no direct heirs, he had left a very handsome legacy for the laudable purpose of commencing a University in a country where such an establishment was very desirable.
I could not be contented without a solution of these mysteries. Why should I not lay my soul open before my new friend? Considering my situation, would he regard my fears and my surmises as criminal?

The love of the constitution: the honest struggles that honest men were making to displace a corrupt minister: their very eager and laudable attempts to free an oppressed and ruined country, relieve it of its taxes, recover its trade, and revive the glory of old England: to effect these great and good purposes was the whole and sole end at which they aimed.

"Oho! if that be the case," cries the keeper, "it is another matter, and I have nothing to say."
"No, Burton," he said, bluffly "no; so far as my memory goes I was the only man there." "A bit of a shell knocked my cap off, sir," persisted Mr. Burton, making laudable efforts to keep his temper. "That'll do, my man," said the other, sharply; "not another word. You forget yourself." He turned to the widow and began to chat about "his people" again to divert her attention from Mr.
He clasps his hands, looks upward, and blesses God for his goodness. The last you see of him is alone, kneeling on the prison floor; he is alone with God.
