As it was, little Lillie was confessedly no saint; and yet, if much of a sinner, society has as much to answer for as she. She was the daughter and flower of the Christian civilization of the nineteenth century, and the land of woman, that, on the whole, men of quite distinguished sense have been fond of choosing for wives, and will go on seeking to the end of the chapter. Did she love John?
They seemed indeed at first to think that what was only the garnish of the former 'Tatlers', was that which recommended them; and not those Substantial Entertainments which they everywhere abound in. According they were continually talking of their 'Maid', 'Night Cap', 'Spectacles', and Charles Lillie.
The ability to do so showed courage and character and he hath both in an unusual degree. The very night before the "final" his reward came. Some one hurried up his stairs and burst into his little sitting-room. It was the Professor the famous George Lillie Craik who had set the papers for the Literature class.
"First, sir, put down that paper, and listen to me," said Mrs. Lillie, coming up and seating herself on his knee, and sweeping down the offending paper with an air of authority. "Yes'm," said John, submissively. "Let's see, how was that in the marriage service? I promised to obey, didn't I?"
So as a military measure the burning of the town was fully justified. We left Clarendon on the evening of the 29th, on the steamer "Lillie Martin," arrived at Devall's Bluff some time during the night, debarked from the boat next morning, and went into camp near the river, where we enjoyed for a time an agreeable rest.

Speaking of the astonishing success of the Buddhist missionaries, Mr. Lillie says: This success was effected by moral means alone, for Buddhism is the one religion guiltless of coercion. Christians are always boasting of the wonderful good works wrought by their religion.
And what will become of women like Lillie, when the first gilding begins to wear off, if the man who has taken one of them shall be at liberty to cast her off and seek another? Have we not enough now of miserable, broken-winged butterflies, that sink down, down, down into the mud of the street?
You know, John, that you knew when you took her that she had not been brought up in our ways of living and thinking. Lillie comes from an entirely different set of people from any we are accustomed to; but a man must face all the consequences of his marriage honestly and honorably." "I know it," said John, with a sigh. "I say, Gracie, do you think the Fergusons like Lillie?
"I am sure if we have got to rub and scrub and starve so, I had rather die and done with it; and I hope I shall." John crossed his arms, and looked gloomily out of the window. "Perhaps you had better," he said. "I am sure I should be glad to." "Yes, I dare say!" said Lillie; "that is all you care for me. Now there is Dick Follingsbee, he would be taking care of his wife.
