These were Lucifer and his potentates, who had contrived to subdue the tempest. But when the Arch Fiend heard the noise of war, he became more pale than Death, and began to call and gather together bands of his old experienced soldiers to quell the tumult. At this moment he stumbled against a little puppy of an imp, who had escaped between the feet of the combatants.
Maurice thought it not worth his while for the present to quell the mutiny as he considered it the legal and constitutional defence of vested right as great jurists like Barneveld and Hugo Grotius accounted the movement at its "fountain head Leyden or its chief stream Utrecht;" to use the expression of Carleton.
The "Triumph of Life" is composed in no strain of compliment to the powers of this world, which quell untameable spirits, and enslave the noblest by the operation of blind passions and inordinate ambitions. It is rather a pageant of the spirit dragged in chains, led captive to the world, the flesh and the devil.
Almost every curve of the river was remembered by its tragedy, and had they only known it, the steamer which carried them for their observation had hatching within her the germs of a very worthy addition to the series.

We have wept over her grave; and who that has seen the old stone in Henderland churchyard now broken in three pieces, but bearing still that epitaph which Longinus would have pronounced sublime, "Here lies Parys of Cockburn, and his wife Marjory" and looked on the old ruins of their castle, now scarcely sufficient for a resting place for the grey owl could resist the rising emotion, or quell the heaving breast of pity?
Horse and foot soldiers are stationed at the avenues, to keep them clear, to prevent depredation, and to quell the first indications of popular commotion. I was much gratified by an excursion to Versailles, which had been some time planned by the charming family of the S 's.
