Many of the districts of Brazil were not, and are not, in the least suited as a permanent place of residence for the white man. Were an attempt to be made to populate such places as these by Europeans, it could only be done by means of a continual change of inhabitants.
They go about in masquerade on the eastern avenues, and the children of the foreign races who populate that quarter penetrate the better streets, blowing horns and begging of the passers. They have probably no more sense of its difference from the old carnival of Catholic Europe than from the still older Saturnalia of pagan times.
They therefore declare that it is the duty of such women to populate the land with strong, healthy, intelligent offspring to bear children in great numbers. It is high time to expose the sheer foolishness of this argument. The first absurdity is that the women who are in comfortable circumstances could continue to be cultured and of social value if they were the mothers of large families.
"My dear sir, you forget that a woman's chief delight is in her motherhood." "I should have thought it a pleasure likely to pall with too much repetition. Motherhood is motherhood, whether of one or of a dozen." "I 'm afraid," replied the parson, with impatience, though still keeping on his guest's low ground, "your theories are not calculated to populate the world."

At all times in his work one has the feeling of there having lately passed, if ever so fleetly, some bodily shape seeking a solitude of its own.
Could we but find time and opportunity and utilize the last bit and every bit of the unborn life that is in us, we could become the fathers of nations and populate continents. Life? Bah! It has no value. Of cheap things it is the cheapest. Everywhere it goes begging. Nature spills it out with a lavish hand.
Brayle, with an uplifting of his sinister brows; "It helps to populate the world." "It does," answered Santoris, calmly "But if the pairs that are joined in marriage have no spiritual bond between them and nothing beyond the attraction of the mere body they people the world with more or less incapable, unthinking and foolish creatures like themselves.
And that was an enormous gain for a new land which needed immigrants to populate its vast territory and develop its immense latent resources. Somewhat briefly, the way the Police got O'Brien was in this fashion.
I do not say that its value is not decreased; obviously, it loses its value as a means to producing good states of mind in others. But a certain value does subsist an intrinsic value. Populate the lone star with one human mind and every part of that star becomes potentially valuable as a means, because it may be a means to that which is good as an end a good state of mind.
And when the termination of the last of these wars left her mistress of a united Spain, and the exploitation of her own resources seemed to require all the energies she could muster, an entire new hemisphere was suddenly thrown open to her, and given into her hands by a papal decree to possess and populate.
