Trang 383 - But the time will come when New England will be as thickly peopled as old England. Wages will be as low, and will fluctuate as much with you as with us.

I like to hear them tell their old stories over and over again. I read them in the dozy hours, and only half remember them.
Trang 346 - The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.
