"Millions for defence, but not a cent for tribute!" became the Federalist watch-word; and, when the little navy of a few frigates and sloops began to bring in French men-of-war and privateers as prizes, the country actually felt a thrill of pride and manhood. For the moment, the United States stood side by side with England in fighting the dangerous enemy of civilization.
"Yes, they reached New Zealand on Saturday was a week." "And . . . and . . . and Martin Conrad?" "He's well, and what's better, he has distinguished himself." "I . . . I . . . I knew he would." "So did I! The way I was never fearing that if they gave Mart half a chance he would come out top! Do or die that was his watch-word." "I know! I know!" "How splendid! How glorious!
It takes so little to bring sunshine and cheer, and yet millions of us go chasing our own little desires through life, and never stop to think of the ones who are down. No, I am not going to turn Missionary nor Salvation Army lassie, but with God's help I shall serve somewhere and "good cheer for the lonely" shall be my watch-word.
Without waiting for the permission he sought, Mr Swiveller stepped up to the dwarf, and leaning on his shoulder and stooping down to get at his ear, said in a voice which was perfectly audible to all present, 'The watch-word to the old min is fork. 'Is what? demanded Quilp. 'Is fork, sir, fork, replied Mr Swiveller slapping his picket. 'You are awake, sir? The dwarf nodded.

Your happiness is my prayer and watch-word; all I ask of you, dear, is but to be true to yourself and me."
Jean, the elder of the two, replied freely to all my inquiries; adding such information as suggested itself to him at the moment, and winding up by saying, "Monsieur must not be surprised if he is challenged on entering the harbour, that is almost certain to occur; and if it does he has only to give the watch-word, and he will not be further interfered with." "And what is the watch-word?" I asked.
And despite it all, we go on year after year, improving. "Self-improvement" is the watch-word of the Century. If "self-improvement," then social improvement. Mankind is still in the making, as far as external conditions are concerned. The complaint goes up from every side, that women refuse motherhood.
Freedom is the American watch-word, freedom for all men. But a few weeks have gone, yet the change is wonderful already. The atmosphere is clearer and purer. The writer of this is living in a slave state, and is able to mark the changes better than those in places more remote from the influences of slavery.
Or putting it in another way, on account of shirking the duties it is morally incumbent upon them as citizens of free governments to perform. In America, whose institutions have been built and maintained solely by the people, our duty is plain, for orderly procedure has been and ever must be our watch-word. Vigilance is moreover nowhere required more than in representative government.
But the watch-word was obtained; the entrance was pointed out; and the 100th regiment were inside of Fort Niagara before a single drum had rolled or a bugle sounded.
