That any Legislature would ever, under any stress of circumstances, have conferred or have attempted to confer such powers upon a municipality is beyond comprehension. The statement, if unsustained by the official State records, would now challenge belief. Under the favorable conditions mentioned, the Mormons were now upon the high wave of prosperity in Illinois.
The philosophic critics of all ages coincide with the ultimate judgment of all countries, in equally denying the praises of a just poem, on the one hand to a series of striking lines or distichs, each of which, absorbing the whole attention of the reader to itself, disjoins it from its context, and makes it a separate whole, instead of a harmonizing part; and on the other hand, to an unsustained composition, from which the reader collects rapidly the general result unattracted by the component parts.
One by one the company left the house, and Frank was alone. Left alone and unsustained by sympathy, he felt more bitterly than before the totally unexpected change in his circumstances. Up to the last hour he had regarded himself as the heir of the estate. Now he was only a dependent of a man whom he heartily disliked.
On reflecting on the circumstances of that awful night, in after-life, I have thought that the force in the rear of the Hurons began to melt away, even before Herman Mordaunts support was received, leaving their front weak and unsustained.

Even when, without understanding its own longing for a thing it lacked, her heart had felt itself a little unsustained she had never ceased to feel the fascination of his entire freedom from any shadow of interest in the mental attitude of others towards himself.
A few days later, at midnight of June 27th, the enemy attacked Donaldsonville in force. The storming party succeeded in entering the works, but the three gunboats which Farragut had stationed there opened so heavy a fire upon the supports that these broke and fled; and those in advance, being unsustained, were made prisoners.

He was supremely content with the state of affairs, and had no wish to humiliate his son-in-law. So the wedding was performed as simply as if Miss Lovel had been uniting her fortunes with those of some fledgling of the curate species.
