The boy was little else than a young Gaucho when he first came to Rockland; for he had learned to ride almost as soon as to walk, and could jump on his pony and trip up a runaway pig with the bolas or noose him with his miniature lasso at an age when some city-children would hardly be trusted out of sight of a nursery-maid.
ROCKLAND, Jan. 1st, 1859. Now Helen had her own private reasons for wishing to receive the small sum which was due her at this time without any unfair deduction, reasons which we need not inquire into too particularly, as we may be very sure that they were right and womanly. So, when she looked over this account of Mr.
Poor Sophy, only the third generation from cannibalism, was, not unnaturally, somewhat confused in her theological notions. Some of the Second-Advent preachers had been about, and circulated their predictions among the kitchen population of Rockland. This was the way in which it happened that she mingled her fears in such a strange manner with their doctrines.

He remembered the horseman riding at him, and his firing the pistol; but whether he was alive, and these walls around him belonged to the village of Rockland, or whether he had passed the dark river, and was in a suburb of the New Jerusalem, he could not as yet have told. They were in the street where the Doctor's house was situated. "I guess I'll fire off one o' these here berrils," said Abel.
"Of course I will not, sir," replied the manager, and then, as there seemed no more to do or say, he took his leave. Old Aaron Rockharrt strode into the drawing room where his wife and granddaughter sat, and astonished them by saying: "Pack up your things this afternoon.
