On either side of the remains walked the pall-bearers selected by the deceased six sturdy, weather-bronzed farmer-fishermen, who lived in the vicinity while General Pierce, the Mayor of Boston, Edward Everett, Rufus Choate, and other distinguished personages followed as they best could.

I know you are not." "You are kind, little Will, to say this to me. You are very kind, my boy; you make me feel as I once did feel, and I'll tell you all. Listen! and I'll tell you all about it." There was a tear in the sailor's eye, the first he had shed for many a long year. Upon his weather-bronzed face I observed a mingled expression of tenderness and sadness.
But that is sure no fancy," and his eyes glared at the stone, which Thure still held. "And I was sound asleep right on the other side of that log at that very moment!" and Thure's weather-bronzed face whitened a little. "No more logs for bedfellows for me!" "Yes, and he must have been lying right on the other side of that log, when I bent over you to see if you were all right," added Bud.
Loyally this weather-bronzed, inflexible guardian of the Law stuck to his post the post entrusted to him by God Himself and, faithful to his duty, held fast to the principle j'y suis, j'y reste. As a political nation threatened by its neighbors seeks support in its army, and provides sufficient implements of war, so a spiritual nation must have spiritual weapons of defense at its command.

A lamp hung from a rough birch beam, and its uncertain radiance showed motionless figures wrapped in blankets in the bunks round the walls. Two men were, however, dressing, and one already in uniform sat at a table talking to another swathed in furs, who was from his appearance a prairie farmer. The man at the table was lean and weather-bronzed, with grizzled hair and observant eyes.
Secure and exultant, his broad, handsome, weather-bronzed face was as great a contrast to Philip's long, thoughtful, sallow countenance, as his frank manner was to the other's cold reserve.
