Stranger. "Do you work you?" Pisistratus. "Yes and hard." Stranger. "I am ready to work, then." Pisistratus. "Good. Now, what can you do?" "Many things useful. Can I earn a handsome livelihood out of all this, wear kid gloves and set up a cabriolet? You see my wishes are modest!" Pisistratus. "You speak two languages, you say, like a native, French, I suppose, is one of them?" Stranger. "Yes."
Go, and let Sisty have some supper; for Squills says that he has a fine development of the mathematical organs, and we want his help. We are hard at work on figures, Pisistratus." My mother looked broken-hearted, and, obeying submissively, stole to the door without a word. But as she reached the threshold she turned round and beckoned to me to follow her. I whispered my father and went out.
"Not for all the mines of Potosi." "Well, it sha'n't be the worse for you. I sha'n't alter my will, in spite of your want of confidence. Your young friend, that Mr. Vivian, I think you call him: intelligent-looking fellow; sharper than the other, I guess, would he like a share?" Pisistratus. "In the grog depot? You had better ask him!" Uncle Jack. "What! you pretend to be aristocratic in the Bush?
Still, Pisistratus, you don't, in this, gain your object at a leap; and my dear old friend ought not to lose his son and his money too. You say you write to me as to your own father.

While he never states, without qualifications and objections, the charges which the earliest and best historians have brought against his favourite tyrants, Pisistratus, Hippias, and Gelon, he transcribes, without any hesitation, the grossest abuse of the least authoritative writers against every democracy and every demagogue.
This holds good, even if, prior to Pisistratus, there existed in Greece no written texts of Homer, and no reading public, a point which we shall show reasons for declining to concede.
The stranger draws his chair deliberately towards the light and runs his eye rapidly over the pages. Pisistratus trembles to see him pause before a long array of figures and calculations. Certainly it does not look inviting; but, pshaw! it is scarcely a part of the task, which limits itself to the mere correction of words. "There must be a mistake here stay! "You seem a notable arithmetician."
"Pisistratus," said my father, softly, "I fear you have forgotten the saffron bag." "No, indeed, sir," said I, smiling. "He," resumed my father, "he who wears the saffron bag has more cheerful, settled spirits than you seem to have, my poor boy." "My dear Austin, his spirits are very good, I think," said my mother, anxiously.
Xanthippus, his father, who defeated the king of Persia's generals in the battle at Mycale, took to wife Agariste, the grandchild of Clisthenes, who drove out the sons of Pisistratus, and nobly put an end to their tyrannical usurpation, and moreover made a body of laws, and settled a model of government admirably tempered and suited for the harmony and safety of the people.
