down, O Christ, and help me! reach thy hand,

For I am drowning in a stormier sea

Than Simon on thy lake of Galilee:

The wine of life is spilt upon the sand,

My heart is as some famine-murdered land

Whence all good things have perished utterly,

And well I know my soul in Hell must lie

If I this night before God's throne should stand.

'He sleeps perchance, or rideth to the chase,

Like Baal, when his prophets howled that name

From morn to noon on Carmel's smitten height.'

Nay, peace, I shall behold, before the night,

The feet of brass, the robe more white than flame,

The wounded hands, the weary human face. 70

 CHAPTER XII

The first spacecraft destined for Mars will be Mariner C, a NASA planetary flyby scheduled for launching in 1964.

Mars and Earth both orbit the' Sun in the same direction, but not at the same speed or distance. The mean distance of Earth from the Sun is 93 million miles, while the mean distance of Mars from the Sun is 141 million miles. Earth makes one revolution around the Sun each 365¼ days, while Mars revolves around the Sun once every 687 earth days.

The maximum distance between Earth and Mars is about 247 million miles, which occurs at the aphelion conjunction. However, when Mars is at opposition, the two planets (Earth and Mars) can be as close together as 34.5 million miles or as far away from each other as 63 million miles. Oppositions are usually considered in planning missions to Mars. It is emphasized that neither spacecraft launch nor encounter would occur exactly at these opposition distances because the planets are in orbital motion at different velocities, as was already mentioned. From a search-for-life point of view, it is important to launch so that arrival coincides with those times when the wave of darkening on Mars is most pronounced.

Mariner C is not intended to land on Mars, but to fly past it at a distance of about 15,000 km. It will carry instrumentation to obtain data on interplanetary dust and plasma and to take television photographs of Mars. In addition, experiments are to be aboard to obtain data on the magnetic field and cosmic rays. The final dimensions of Mariner C will be similar to Mariner II which flew past Venus on December 14, 1962.

The hexagonal framework of Mariner II housed a liquid-fuel rocket motor for trajectory correction. It had six modules or compartments containing the attitude control system, electronic circuitry for the scientific experiments, power supply, battery and charger, data encoder, and command subsystem for receiving and obeying signals from Earth, digital computer and sequencer, and radio transmitter and receiver. 49

50 The solar panels, with 9,800 solar cells, collected energy from the Sun and converted it into electrical power. Two-way communications were supplied by the receiver/transmitter, two transmitting antennas and the command antenna for receiving. Stabilization for yaw, pitch, and roll was provided by 10 cold-gas jets mounted in four locations and fed by two titanium bottles.

A later Mariner will carry additional devices past Mars in 1966–67. If an instrumented package does land on the Martian surface it will be to determine the density profile of the Martian atmosphere. Not until 1969, 1971, or 1973 will actual life-detection devices, using systems evolved from Mariner-level payloads to larger payloads of the Voyager class, be considered for effective surface landing and operation.

One of the flyby experiments may consist of an infrared scanning system capable of measuring reflected visible radiation, emitted surface radiation (thermal), and radiation absorbed by atmospheric water vapor. Figure 19 shows the general optical scheme for the instrument. This type of Mars “mapping” will provide useful information with respect to microenvironments for possible extraterrestrial life.

by the unvintageable sea

Till the wet waves drenched face and hair with spray,

The long red fires of the dying day

Burned in the west; the wind piped drearily;

And to the land the clamorous gulls did flee:

'Alas!' I cried, 'my life is full of pain,

And who can garner fruit or golden grain

From these waste fields which travail ceaselessly!'

My nets gaped wide with many a break and flaw,

Natheless I threw them as my final cast

Into the sea, and waited for the end.

When lo! a sudden glory! and I saw

From the black waters of my tortured past

The argent splendour of white limbs ascend! 71

With brown, soft hair close braided by her ears,

And longing eyes half veiled by slumberous tears

Like bluest water seen through mists of rain:

Pale cheeks whereon no love hath left its stain,

Red underlip drawn in for fear of love,

And white throat, whiter than the silvered dove,

Through whose wan marble creeps one purple vein,

Yet, though my lips shall praise her without cease,

Even to kiss her feet I am not bold,

Being o'ershadowed by the wings of awe,

Like Dante, when he stood with Beatrice

Beneath the flaming Lion's breast, and saw

The seventh Crystal, and the Stair of Gold. 72

Rh porary cabins, built in the form of a square, just without the town. In the evening, hearing a great noise among them, the commissioners walk'd out to see what was the matter. We found they had made a great bonfire in the middle of the square; they were all drunk, men and women, quarreling and fighting. Their dark-colour'd bodies, half naked, seen only by the gloomy light of the bonfire, running after and beating one another with firebrands, accompanied by their horrid yellings, form'd a scene the most resembling our ideas of hell that could well be imagin'd; there was no appeasing the tumult, and we retired to our lodging. At midnight a number of them came thundering at our door, demanding more rum, of which we took no notice.

The next day, sensible they had misbehav'd in giving us that disturbance, they sent three of their old counselors to make their apology. The orator acknowledg'd the fault, but laid it upon the rum; and then endeavored to excuse the rum by saying, "The Great Spirit, who made all things, made every thing for some use, and whatever use he design'd any thing for, that use it should always be put to. Now, when he made rum, he said 'Let this be for the Indians to get drunk with, and it must be so.' And, indeed, if it be the design of Providence to extirpate these savages in order to make room for cultivators of the earth, it seems not improbable that rum may be the appointed means. It has already annihilated all the tribes who formerly inhabited the sea-coast.

In 1751, Dr. Thomas Bond, a particular friend of mine, conceived the idea of establishing a hospital in Philadelphia (a very beneficent design, which has been ascrib'd to me, but was originally his), for the reception and cure of poor sick persons, whether inhabitants of the province or strangers. He was zealous and active in endeavouring to procure sub-scriptions for it, but the proposal being a novelty in America, and at first not well understood, he met with but small success.

At length he came to me with the compliment that he found there was no such thing as carrying a public-spirited project through without my being concern’d in it. "For," says he, "I am often ask'd by those to whom I propose

 child and reduces parent conflict if a child proves to be adapting poorly to the camp situation.

If retardation is so mild that the individual could adjust in a camp for normal children, he should not be placed in a day camp for the retarded. After a year or two of specialized camping for the retarded, the staff may make recommendations that certain children be encouraged to attend camps for normal children. When these children are in normal camps, the staff of the former, specialized camp may be called upon for help in program planning.

Transportation of campers (and counselors, if necessary) should be planned well in advance. Car pools can be set up so that parents share the responsibility. Often church and school buses can be made available for use during day camp. Buses are ideal for transporting the total group on field trips. Service groups can be called upon to furnish cars and drivers for children who cannot get to camp in any other way. Transportation by taxi is very convenient, but for most camp programs the cost would be prohibitive.

Within a few days after camp has ended, the staff should meet to evaluate the camping experience. Such questions as these will aid the staff in evaluating the camp session:

 * 1. Were the campers happy?

 * 2. What specific gains were made by individual campers?

 * 3. Was the staff adequate in number? Was the orientation helpful? What should have been added? Omitted?

 * 4. Were facilities and equipment adequate? What additional equipment will be needed for next year's camp?

 * 5. Was the volunteer program helpful? Were there enough volunteers? Too many? Was their training adequate?

 * 6. Was the budgeting sound?

 * 7. Was the public information program adequate?

 * 8. What was the biggest "trouble spot"? What can be done about it next year?

Individual camper evaluations should be made after consulting all staff persons who have worked closely with the child. Information helpful to school personnel may be furnished by the camp, and an accurate record of each camper's experiences progress should be maintained in the day

122 subscribing, Have you consulted Franklin upon this business? And what does he think of it? And when I tell them that I have not (supposing it rather out of your line), they do not subscribe, but say they will consider of it." I enquired into the nature and probable utility of his scheme, and receiving from him a very satisfactory explanation, I not only subscrib'd to it myself, but engag'd heartily in the design of procuring subscriptions from others. Previously, however, to the solicitation, I endeavoured to prepare the minds of the people by writing on the subject in the news-papers, which was my usual custom in such cases, but which he had omitted.

The subscriptions afterwards were more free and generous; but, beginning to flag, I saw they would be insufficient without some assistance from the Assembly, and there-fore propos'd to petition for it, which was done. The country members did not at first relish the project; they objected that it could only be serviceable to the city, and therefore the citizens alone should be at the expense of it; and they doubted whether the citizens themselves generally approv'd of it. My allegation on the contrary, that it met with such approbation as to leave no doubt of our being able to raise two thousand pounds by voluntary donations, they considered as a most extravagant supposition, and utterly impossible.

On this I form'd my plan; and asking leave to bring in a bill for incorporating the contributors according to the prayer of their petition, and granting them a blank sum of money, which leave was obtained chiefly on the consideration that the House could throw the bill out if they did not like it, I drew it so as to make the important clause a conditional one, viz., "And be it enacted, by the authority aforesaid, that when the said contributors shall have met and chosen their managers and treasurer, and shall have raised by their contributions a capital stock of value (the yearly interest of which is to be applied to the accommodating of the sick poor in the said hospital, free of charge for diet, attendance, advice, and medicines), and shall make the same appear to the satisfaction of the speaker of the Assembly for the time being, that then it shall and may be

Rh lawful for the said speaker, and he is hereby required, to sign an order on the provincial treasurer for the payment of two thousand pounds, in two yearly payments, to the treasurer of the said hospital, to be applied to the founding, building, and finishing of the same."

This condition carried the bill through; for the members, who had oppos'd the grant, and now conceiv'd they might have the credit of being charitable without the expence, agreed to its passage; and then, in soliciting subscriptions among the people, we urg'd the conditional promise of the law as an additional motive to give, since every man’s donation would be doubled; thus the clause work'd both ways. The subscriptions accordingly soon exceeded the requisite sum, and we claim'd and receiv'd the public gift, which enabled us to carry the design into execution. A convenient and handsome building was soon erected; the institution has by constant experience been found useful, and flourishes to this day; and I do not remember any of my political manceuvres, the success of which gave me at the time more pleasure, or wherein, after thinking of it, I more easily excus'd myself for having made some use of cunning.

It was about this time that another projector, the Rev. Gilbert Tennent, came to me with a request that I would assist him in procuring a subscription for erecting a new meeting-house. It was to be for the use of a congregation he had gathered among the Presbyterians, who were originally disciples of Mr. Whitefield. Unwilling to make myself dis-agreeable to my fellow-citizens by too frequently soliciting their contributions, I absolutely refus'd. He then desired I would furnish him with a list of the names of persons I knew by experience to be generous and public-spirited. I thought it would be unbecoming in me, after their kind compliance with my solicitations, to mark them out to be worried by other beggars, and therefore refus'd also to give such a list. He then desir'd I would at least give him my advice. "That I will readily do," said I; "and, in the first place, I advise you to apply to all those whom you know will give something; next, to those whom you are uncertain whether they will give any thing or not, and show them the list of those who have given; and, lastly, do not neglect

124 those who you are sure will give nothing, for in some of them you may be mistaken." He laugh'd and thank'd me, and said he would take my advice. He did so, for he ask'd of everybody, and he obtained a much larger sum than he expected, with which he erected the capacious and very, elegant meeting-house that stands in Arch-street.

Our city, tho' laid out with a beautiful regularity, the streets large, strait, and crossing each other at right angles, had the disgrace of suffering those streets to remain long unpav'd, and in wet weather the wheels of heavy carriages plough'd them into a quagmire, so that it was difficult to cross them; and in dry weather the dust was offensive. I had liv'd near what was call'd the Jersey Market, and saw with pain the inhabitants wading in mud while purchasing their provisions. A strip of ground down the middle of that market was at length pav'd with brick, so that, being once in the market, they had firm footing, but were often over shoes in dirt to get there. By talking and writing on the subject, I was at length instrumental in getting the street pav'd with stone between the market and the brick'd foot-pavement, that was on each side next the houses. This, for some time, gave an easy access to the market dry-shod; but, the rest of the street not being pav'd, whenever a carriage came out of the mud upon this pavement, it shook off and left its dirt upon it, and it was soon cover'd with mire, which was not remov'd, the city as yet having no scavengers.

After some inquiry I found a poor industrious man, who was willing to undertake keeping the pavement clean, by sweeping it twice a week, carrying off the dirt from before all the neighbours' doors, for the sum of sixpence per month, to be paid by each house. I then wrote and printed a paper setting forth the advantages to the neighbourhood that might be obtain'd by this small expense; the greater ease in keeping our houses clean, so much dirt not being brought in by people’s feet; the benefit to the shops by more custom, etc., etc., as buyers could more easily get at them; and by not having, in windy weather, the dust blown in upon their goods, etc., etc. I sent one of these papers to each house, and in a day or two went round to see who would subscribe

270 Near our tent, on the sides of large trees peeled for that purpose, were various representations of men going to and  returning from the wars, and of some being killed in battle. This was a path heretofore used by warriors, and as I walked about viewing those Indian histories, which were painted mostly in red or black, and thinking on the innumerable  afflictions which the proud, fierce spirit produceth in the  world, also on the toils and fatigues of warriors in travelling  over mountains and deserts; on their miseries and distresses when far from home and wounded by their enemies; of their  bruises and great weariness in chasing one another over the  rocks and mountains; of the restless, unquiet state of mind of those who live in this spirit, and of the hatred which  mutually grows up in the minds of their children,the desire to cherish the spirit of love and peace among these people  arose very fresh in me. This was the first night that we lodged in the woods, and being wet with travelling in the rain, as were also our blankets, the ground, our tent, and the  bushes under which we purposed to lay, all looked discouraging; but I believed that it was the Lord who had thus far brought me forward, and that he would dispose of me as  he saw good, and so I felt easy. We kindled a fire, with our tent open to it, then laid some bushes next the ground, and put our blankets upon them for our bed, and, lying down, got some sleep. In the morning, feeling a little unwell, I went into the river; the water was cold, but soon after I felt fresh and well. About eight o'clock we set forward and crossed a high mountain supposed to be upward of four miles over, the north side being the steepest. About noon we were overtaken by one of the Moravian brethren going to Wehaloosing, and an Indian man with him who could talk English; and we being together while our horses ate grass had some friendly conversation; but they, travelling faster than we, soon left us. This Moravian, I understood, has this spring Spent some time at Wehaloosing, and was invited by some of the Indians to come again.

Twelfth of sixth month being the first of the week and a rainy day, we continued in our tent, and I was led to think on the nature of the exercise which hath attended me. Love was the first motion, and thence a concern arose to spend

Rh some time with the Indians, that I might feel and understand their life and the spirit they live in, if haply I might receive some instruction from them, or they might be in any degree helped forward by my following the leadings of truth among them; and as it pleased the Lord to make way for my going at a time when the troubles of war were increasing, and when, by reason of much wet weather, travelling was more difficult than usual at that season, I looked upon is as a more favorable opportunity to season my mind, and to bring me into a nearer sympathy with them. As mine eye was to the great Father of Mercies, humbly desiring to learn his will concerning me, I was made quiet and content.

Our guide’s horse strayed, though hoppled, in the night, and after searching some time for him his footsteps were discovered in the path going back, whereupon my kind companion went off in the rain, and after about seven hours returned with him. Here we lodged again, tying up our horses before we went to bed, and loosing them to feed about break of day.

Thirteenth of sixth month.The sun appearing, we set forward, and as I rode over the barren hills my meditations were on the alterations in the circumstances of the natives of this land since the coming in of the English. The lands near the sea are conveniently situated for fishing; the lands near the rivers, where the tides flow, and some above, are in many places fertile, and not mountainous, while the changing of the tides makes passing up and down easy with any kind of traffic. The natives have in some places, for trifling considerations, sold their inheritance so favorably situated, and in other places have been driven back by superior force; their way of clothing themselves is also altered from what it was, and they being far removed from us have to pass over mountains, swamps, and barren deserts, so that travelling is very troublesome in bringing their skins and furs to trade with us. By the extension of English settlements, and partly by the increase of English hunters, the wild beasts on which the natives chiefly depend for subsistence are not so plentiful as they were, and people too often, for the sake of gain, induce them to waste their skins and

272 furs in purchasing a liquor which tends to the ruin of them and their families.

My own will and desires were now very much broken, and my heart was with much earnestness turned to the Lord, to whom alone I looked for help in the dangers before me. I had a prospect of the English along the coast for upwards of nine hundred miles, where I travelled, and their favorable situation and the difficulties attending the natives as well as the negroes in many places were open before me. A weighty and heavenly care came over my mind, and love filled my heart towards all mankind, in which I felt a strong engagement that we might be obedient to the Lord while in tender mercy he is yet calling to us, and that we might so attend to pure universal righteousness as to give no just cause of offence to the gentiles, who do not profess Christianity, whether they be the blacks from Africa, or the native inhabitants of this continent. Here I was led into a close and laborious inquiry whether I, as an individual, kept clear from all things which tended to stir up or were connected with wars, either in this land or in Africa; my heart was deeply concerned that in future I might in all things keep steadily to the pure truth, and live and walk in the plainness and simplicity of a sincere follower of Christ. In this lonely journey I did greatly bewail the spreading of a wrong spirit, believing that the prosperous, convenient situation of the English would require a constant attention in us to Divine love and wisdom, in order to their being guided and supported in a way answerable to the will of that good, gracious, and Almighty Being, who hath an equal regard to all mankind. And here luxury and covetousness, with the numerous oppressions and other evils attending them, appeared very afflicting to me, and I felt in that which is immutable that the seeds of great calamity and desolation are sown and growing fast on this continent. Nor have I words sufficient to set forth the longing I then felt, that we who are placed along the coast, and have tasted the love and goodness of God, might arise in the strength thereof, and like faithful messengers labor to check the growth of these seeds, that they may not ripen to the ruin of our posterity.

On reaching the Indian settlement at Wyoming, we were

Rh told that an Indian runner had been at that place a day or two before us, and brought news of the Indians having taken an English fort westward, and destroyed the people, and that they were endeavoring to take another; also that another Indian runner came there about the middle of the previous night from a town about ten miles from Wehaloosing, and brought the news that some Indian warriors from distant parts came to that town with two English scalps, and told the people that it was war with the English.

Our guides took us to the house of a very ancient man. Soon after we had put in our baggage there came a man from another Indian house some distance off. Perceiving there was a man near the door I went out; the man had a tomahawk wrapped under his match-coat out of sight. As I approached him he took it in his hand; I went forward, and, speaking to him in a friendly way, perceived he under-stood some English. My companion joining me, we had some talk with him concerning the nature of our visit in these parts; he then went into the house with us, and, talking with our guides, soon appeared friendly, sat down and smoked his pipe. Though taking his hatchet in his hand at the instant I drew near to him had a disagreeable appearance, I believe he had no other intent than to be in readiness in case any violence were offered to him.

On hearing the news brought by these Indian runners, and being told by the Indians where we lodged, that the Indians about Wyoming expected in a few days to move to some larger towns, I thought, to all outward appearance, it would be dangerous travelling at this time. After a hard day's journey I was brought into a painful exercise at night, in which I had to trace back and view the steps I had taken from my first moving in the visit; and though I had to. bewail some weakness which at times had attended me, yet I could not find that I had ever given way to wilful disobedience. Believing I had, under a sense of duty, come thus far, I was now earnest in spirit, beseeching the Lord to show me what I ought to do. In this great distress I grew jealous of myself, lest the desire of reputation as a man firmly settled to persevere through dangers, or the fear of disgrace from my returning without performing the visit,

274 might have some place in me. Full of these thoughts, I lay great part of the night, while my beloved companion slept by me, till the Lord, my gracious Father, who saw the conflicts of my soul, was pleased to give quietness. Then I was again strengthened to commit my life, and all things relating thereto, into his heavenly hands, and got a little sleep towards day.

Fourteenth of sixth monthWe sought out and visited all the Indians hereabouts that we could meet with, in number about twenty. They were chiefly in one place, about a mile from where we lodged. I expressed to them the care I had on my mind for their good, and told them that true love had made me willing thus to leave my family to come and see the Indians and speak with them in their houses. Some of them appeared kind and friendly. After taking leave of them, we went up the river Susquehanna about three miles, to the house of an Indian called Jacob January. He had killed his hog, and the women were making store of bread and preparing to move up the river. Here our pilots had left their canoe when they came down in the spring, and lying dry it had become leaky. This detained us some hours, so that we had a good deal of friendly conversation with the family; and, eating dinner with them, we made them some small presents. Then putting our baggage into the canoe, some of them pushed slowly up the stream, and the rest of us rode our horses. We swam them over a creek called Lahawahamunk, and pitched our tent above it in the evening. Ina sense of God’s goodness in helping me in my distress, sustaining me under trials, and inclining my heart to trust in him, I lay down in an humble, bowed frame of mind, and had a comfortable night’s lodging.

Fifteenth of sixth monthWe proceeded forward till the afternoon, when, a storm appearing, we met our canoe at an appointed place and stayed all night, the rain continuing so heavy that it beat through our tent and wet both us and our baggage. The next day we found abundance of trees blown down by the storm yesterday, and had occasion reverently to consider the kind dealings of the Lord who provided a safe place for us in a valley while this storm continued. We were much hindered by the trees which had

 camp files. Relationships with other children and counselors, interests and abilities, and problems should be noted.

Lines of authority should be clearly delineated. Specifically, spell out the responsibilities of each staff member and his part in the total program. This also relates to the functioning of the agency or committee that is sponsoring the program. Director and committee or agency responsibilities need to be clearly identified.

Everything pertaining to the operation of the camp, including committee and staff work, should flow through the director's office. While it is important to delegate tasks, it is essential that the director be aware of all transactions related to the camp.

Keep records of all transactions, contracts, purchases, and rentals. Most agreements for rental of a facility, insurance, etc., require a contractual agreement.

It is very important to interpret your program to the public. Newspaper articles, public speaking engagements, radio announcements and television news specials are among the wide variety of ways to communicate your aims, purposes, values, and services. Television specials are usually quite effective in developing interest and support for your program.

Develop standards or guidelines for each staff position. The American Camping Association and the Kennedy Foundation have developed standards which are adaptable to the local level (see Appendix C).

A list of personnel practices should be drawn up to include salary, leaves of absence, dismissal, hours, payroll deductions, employee activities, insurance expenses, transportation, special responsibilities, overnights, etc. This list should be presented to the employee at the time of hiring, and be discussed and clarified during the orientation program.

Parents of retarded children are highly recommended as chaperones on field trips, helpers at cookouts, etc. It is not recommended, however, that they work with their own children. As a general rule, parents should be discouraged as applicants for camp staff positions.

Because parent involvement is important in the camp program, they should be invited to visit the camp on designated days. It is important to keep them informed about the program and their child's participation. All parents should be interviewed prior to acceptance of their child in this program. It is suggested that they bring their child to this interview. This provides an opportunity to evaluate the child's abilities and skills as well as the family situation, and to discuss the program with the parents and answer their questions.

 This is the nature of the soul. So the affections are additions, entering the soul on account of [certain] causes. But naturally the soul is not affectable.

When thou findest psychic or corporeal affections here or there in the scriptures, such things are said concerning those causes. But the soul naturally has no affections.

But the philosophers who are without do not believe this; neither do those who are their followers. But we believe that God has not made His image affectable. With His image I do not mean the body but the soul which is invisible. Every image is a copy in which the prototype is depicted. And a visible image cannot be the copy of something invisible. So we believe that the affections of the soul are not natural as they say. If any one likes to dispute concerning this point we will ask him: What is natural to the soul? To be without affections, full of light, or moved by the affections and dark? Now if the nature of the soul is to be clear and a receptacle of the blessed light, it will be found in this condition when it returns unto its original state. But when it is moved by the affections, all the members of the church confess it to have abandoned its nature. Consequently the affections are later accessions to the nature of the soul. And it is not at all becoming to think the affections to be psychic. If the soul be moved by them, nevertheless it is clear that it is moved by something outside it, not by what is its own. And if these [affections] are thought to be natural, because the soul is moved by them through the intermediary cause of the body, then hunger, thirst and sleep would also be natural to the soul because it is affected and brought to rest by them along with the body. And this would also be true for the amputation of limbs, fever, pains, illnesses and so on, by which the body is affected because of its connection with the soul and the soul because of its connection with the body, being affected with joy because of bodily experiences, and receiving distress, along with the torments of the body.

What is natural to the soul; what is external to and what is above its nature.

Natural to the soul is the understanding of all created things,

 inhabitants. The town of Zanzibar with its suburbs is comprised in a very small area, the people being crowded closely together. There are no good streets, but in the best parts of the town are some well- built stone houses of two and three stories in height, inhabited by Europeans and the more wealthy Indian and Arab traders. The houses of the poorer class of Indians and the wattle-and-daub huts of the negro population have already been mentioned. The town and suburbs of Zanzibar are divided into numerous mita or quarters, having each its own name, which is frequently derived from some particular feature connected with it : e.g. Forthani, " at the custom house ; " Gerazani, " at the fort ; " Mnazi moja, " the one cocoanut palm ;" Mzambarauni, " at the mzambarau tree," and so on.

The population of Zanzibar is composed of repre- sentatives of a considerable variety of nationali- ties—Arabs, Hindus, Banyans, Persians, Negroes, Waswahili, Malagasies, Europeans, Americans and Goanese.

The most important class are the Arabs, as to them the island belongs, and many of them are large landed proprietors, possessing extensive mashamba or plantations, and great numbers of slaves. They are also the principal traders with the interior of the continent of Africa, and considerable numbers of them leave Zanzibar every year for the mainland with large caravans and a numerous retinue, and,

98 fathers before them. God by Joshua recounts the marvels of old, "I did so and so." They must know and consider, not only that such and such things were done, but that God did them. It is a series of wonders that is here recorded, and perhaps many more were mentioned by Joshua, which for brevity's sake are here omitted. See what God had wrought; (1.) He brought Abraham out of Ur of the Cnaldees, v. 2, 3. He and his ancestors had served other gods there, for it was the country in which, though celebrated for learning, idolatry, as some think, had its rise; there the world by wisdom knew not God. Abraham, who afterward was the friend of God, and the great favourite of heaven, was bred up in idolatry and lived long in it, till God by his grace snatched him as a brand out of that burning. Let them remember that rock out of which they were hewn, and not relapse into that sin from which their fathers by a miracle of free grace were delivered. "I took him," says God, "else he had never come out of that sinful state." Hence Abraham's justification is made by the apostle an instance of God's justifying the ungodly, Rom. 4. 5. (2.) He brought him to Canaan, and built up his family, led him through the land to Shechem, where they now were, multiplied his seed by Ishmael, who begat twelve princes, but at last gave him Isaac the promised son, ajnd in him multiplied his seed. When Isaac had two sons, Jacob and Esau, God provided an inheritance for Esau elsewhere in Mount Seir, that the land of Canaan might be reserved entire for the seed of Jacob, and the posterity of Esau might not pretend to a share in it. (3.) He delivered the seed of Jacob out of Egypt with a high hand, v. 5, 6. and rescued them out of the hands of Pharaoh and his host at the Red-sea, v. 6, 7. The same waters were the Israelites' guard, and the Egyptians' grave; and this in answer to prayer; for though we find in the story, that they in that distress murmured against God, Exod. 14. 11, 12. notice is here taken of their crying to God; he graciously accepted those that prayed to him, and overlooked the folly of those that quarrelled with him. (4.) He protected them in the wilderness, where they are here said, not to wander, but to dwell for a long season, v. 7. So wisely were all their motions directed, and so safely were they kept, that even there they had as certain a dwelling place as if they had been in a walled city. (5.) He gave them the land of the Amorites, on the other side Jordan, v. 8. and there defeated the plot of Balak and Balaam against them, so that Balaam could not curse them, as he desired, and therefore Balak durst not fight them, as he designed, and, because he designed it, is here said to do it. The turning of Balaam's tongue to bless Israel, when he intended to curse them, is often mentioned as an instance of the divine power put forth in Israel's favour, as remarkable as any other, because in it God proved (and does still, more than we are aware of) his dominion over the powers of darkness, and over the spirits of men. (6.) He brought them safely and triumphantly into Canaan, delivered the Canaanites into their hand, v. 11, sent hornets before them, when they were actually engaged in battle with the enemy, which with their stings tormented them, and with their noise terrified them, so that they became a very easy prey to Israel. These dreadful swarms first appeared in their war with Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites, and afterwards in their other battles, v. 12. God had promised to do this for them, Exod. 23. 27, 28. Deut. 7. 20. These hornets, it should seem, annoyed the enemy more than all the artillery of Israel, therefore he adds, not with thy sword nor bow. It was purely the Lord's doings. Lastly, They were now in the peaceable possession of a good land, and lived comfortably upon the fruit of other people's labour, v. 13.

2. The application of this history of God's mercies to them, is by way of exhortation, to fear and serve God, in gratitude for his favour, and that it might be continued to them, v. 14. Now therefore, in consideration of all this, (1.) "Fear the Lord, the Lord and his goodness, Hos. 3. 5. Reverence a God of such infinite power, fear to offend him, and to forfeit his goodness. Keep up an awe of his majesty, a deference to his authority, a dread of his displeasure, and a continual regard to his all-seeing eye upon you." (2.) "Let your practice be consonant to this principle, and serve him, both by the outward acts of religious worship, and every instance of obedience in your whole conversation, and this, in sincerity and truth, with a single eye and an upright heart, and inward impressions, answerable to outward expressions." That is the truth in the inward part, which God requires, Ps. 51. 6. For what good will it do us to dissemble with a God that searches the heart? (3.) Put away the strange gods, both Chaldean and Egyptian idols, for those they were most in danger of revolting to. It should seem by this charge, which is repeated, v. 23. that there were some among them that privately kept in their closets the images or pictures of these dunghill-deities, which came to their hands from their ancestors, as heir-looms of their families, though it maybe, they did not worship them; these Joshua earnestly urges them to throw away. "Deface them, destroy them, lest you be tempted to serve them." Jacob pressed his household to do, this, and at this very place; for when they gave him up the little images they had, he buried them under the oak that grows by Shechem, Gen. 35. 2, 4. Perhaps the oak mentioned here, v. 26. was the same oak, or another in the same place, which might be well called the oak of reformation, as there were idolatrous oaks.

15. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served, that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the. 16. And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the, to serve other gods; 17. For the our God, he it is that brought us up, and our fathers, out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed: 18. And the drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the ; for he is our God. 19. And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the : for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 20. If ye forsake the, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good. 21. And the people said unto

Of course he went with other girls, I know that, but I was always his Donina, I was always first, the only one among the rest. I was so proud to have them love him, and to think that after he had played with them and laughed in their faces, he would come back again to me, always to me, without ever having been able to forget. But it is not the same now. He has something back in his mind, something evil. It isn't that he deceives me; it's that he wants me to know it. And since these men came

. Nunu is bad; he is all bad now. I loved him before and Donina wasn't jealous. She knew it was on her account—it was just from the heart, I was like their sister; Donina knows that. But Nunu is changed now. He doesn't want to play and sing and laugh any more, and he always used to be happy. And when he was happy, everybody about him was smiling.

. Yes, they were. We were so happy!

. We used to spend hours by ourselves, laughing and singing and dancing, just for the joy of it, for our own sakes, without ever getting tired or stopping to think that we would have to sing and dance all night long in the theatre.

. We were so happy!

. And we would have been happy always, just the three of us!

. It's those men, those terrible men—that Prince who is so pale that he freezes your blood with his eye.

. Yes, the Prince! I know him. His only pleasure is to torture and defile.

. But I'll go to-night. He wants me to.

. No, anything rather than that. Go with the man you love, who is one with you, to whom you have given your heart, live as he lives, share his sorrows, his joys, let nothing hold you back; but the Prince—never go near that man! Nothing can come from him but evil, degradation, and shame. The women he loves he dresses in rags—he maltreats them without mercy. His friends are miserable wretches whom his money can buy, and there is no depravity he does not know. He gives young girls to old men, unutterably vile; strong, healthy boys to women who are loathsome and diseased. He buys daughters from their parents, sisters from their brothers for his holidays.

 poor, homeless wretches, starving vagrants, sleeping out-of-doors, and lead them to the morgue, which was filled with suicides and the bodies of those who had been murdered, or who had died in the streets from hunger and cold. There are myriads of them in the winter-time—men and women and children, too. It was horrible! He threw money on the corpses, and the terrible struggle of that maddened throng, frenzied at the sight of the gold, was an awful thing to see. One coin fell into an open wound; a hundred hands grappled upon it. They pushed the bodies aside, they trampled them under foot, while he—he did not even smile; he looked and looked as the devil must look from hell upon the crimes poor wretches commit who are hungry and cold, crushed beneath the selfishness of the heartless and the rich. This is that Prince who is so pale that he freezes the blood with his eye.

. I did not hate him for nothing. Nunu shall not go with him to-night—or he will never see me any more!

. Will you come with me?

. No, not without him. I said that he would never see me, because I would kill myself; I could never leave him in any other way.

 Argemone really could not tell at the moment. The answer upset her scheme entirely.

'Might not that very admiration of nature have been an act of worship?' continued our hero. 'How can we better glorify the worker, than by delighting in his work?'

'Ah!' sighed the lady, 'why trust to these self-willed methods, and neglect the noble and exquisite forms which the Church has prepared for us as embodiments for every feeling of our hearts?'

'Every feeling, Miss Lavington?'

Argemone hesitated. She had made the good old stock assertion, as in duty bound; but she could not help recollecting that there were several Popish books of devotion at that moment on her table, which seemed to her to patch a gap or two in the Prayer-book.

Am I not well enough furnished? Do you want to reduce my circular infinite chapel to an oblong hundred-foot one? My sphere-harmonies to the Gregorian tones in four parts? My world-wide priesthood, with their endless variety of costume, to one not over-educated gentleman in a white sheet? And my dreams of naiads and flower-fairies, and the blue-bells ringing God's praises, as they do in The Story without an End, for the gross reality of naughty charity children,

 it that I surprise you now in the company of Ruhu-Sahib, the elephant-driver?

. But surely you do not suppose?… A Hindu, a savage?… I was merely gathering points about his elephants. He is a remarkable man. The life of these circus people is vastly more entertaining than ours. I wonder what you would think if I should decide to join the circus? What would people say?

. Probably that you were settling down. In the light of your experience, it might not appear surprising.

. This conventional life is a horrible bore. It is unrelieved monotony.

. If you were to suppress the most monotonous feature of your life, it would be a horrible bore.

. Come, invite me to take something. I'll have an ice, a tutti-frutti. They are delicious.

. With pleasure… Ah! Imperia. Do you see?

. Yes, and I have seen her here before.

. How extraordinary! And alone. In that gown!

. She is always gowned imperially. She is an artist, although not in my line.

. I do not understand

. Why be so innocent? You know your model better than I do. By the way, what was she like when she was with you? I have heard so many stories.

. I met her in Rome. She was one of the models who hang about the Piazza di Spagna. Donina was her name at the time. She was a spare, pinched figure, clad in rags, with a suggestion about her that was indescribably sordid and poor. This terrible poverty of the great cities is not only want of bread, it is hunger for everything which

 goes to make life dear. Among the other models she attracted no attention. The painters saw nothing in her; neither did I. But one day she stopped me as I was passing to beg some coppers. There was no weakness in her voice, no note of complaint; the tone was firm and strong. It compelled attention. So I spoke to her, and her face lit up as we talked, she became a different person—there was another look in her eyes, a new expressiveness in every feature. She was no longer the poor, pinched model; she was a work of art—she was my statue, Imperia, which soon afterward made my reputation. Do you remember? There it stood, with feet bare, and tattered skirt, the body half naked as if she had just clambered up a precipice, and by a last, despairing effort was sinking exhausted on the top into a throne, while upon her face there shone an ineffable light, the smile of life triumphant over death-or of death itself and its calm. It is a long time since I have seen the statue. My ideas of art are not what they were then, but I am sure there was something in it. The combination of the materials was audacious: the rocks of the pedestal were of granite, the figure was marble, and the throne gilded bronze, which shone like gold.

. What was the significance of the statue?

. How can I tell? An artist believes that he speaks through his works, but the works take on form and speak for themselves. The statue was—you can see it—it was woman, Imperia, a wretched creature who has climbed up over the rocks, her body lacerated and torn, until she is about to seat herself upon a throne. Perhaps it was something more—the mastery of life and all that is in it, achieved at last by the poor and the outcast! How can I tell? It was the might of the soul to realize its dream! And who of us has not his dream, at least of a throne—a throne where

 our selfishness, perhaps, is absolute, or our disinterested love?

. How long did you remain with Imperia?

. A passing moment, that was all. The same breath which inspired my statue infused new life into Donina. She became my statue made woman, she was Imperia. Prince Florencio met her at my studio as I was finishing my work; she was still the poor, tattered Donina with her hunger-pinched face. You know the Prince. Well, one morning she said good-by. "Where are you going, my child?" I asked her. "To Suavia to be Empress," she replied. And I had not the heart to laugh at her; there was such conviction in her words, such burning faith in her eyes, it was impossible not to believe it. That woman might be Empress.

. Does she still cherish her dream?

. I lost sight of her. Afterward, I heard that Prince Florencio had abused her, and she attempted to kill him; so she was banished from Suavia. Later, she fell in with Prince Michael in Paris, and during these last years she has been living with him. She has grown rich.

. Prince Michael is the richest of the Suavian princes.

. He is prodigal as a monarch of other days.

. What empire like riches to dominate the world? Well, so this is the very practical reality into which the imperial dreams of your Imperia have been resolved? Was not the throne of your statue gilded until it shone like gold?

. Yes, like gold—because the sun is gold, and the light is. It was the embodiment of light, of hope, of the ideal!

. Countess! Leonardo! You did not see me?

. I beg your pardon, I am sorry…

. But you were talking about me.

. You couldn't hear us from there?

. No, but it was easy to see. You looked over continually. Were you surprised to find me here?

. Certainly not; we are here ourselves.

. Perhaps the Countess will explain the reason?

. It is not necessary. We are all here for the same thing, more or less. We may be perfectly frank if we like; no one will remember to-morrow.

. We are like witches, meeting on Saturday night. I was a little girl when I first heard the legend, and you remind me of it now. There was a poor woman who lived near our house; she was very old, and, apparently, very respectable. She lived alone, and you would have said that she was a good woman. Her house was clean; she worked in the garden by day, busy with her flowers, or fed the pigeons; at night she sewed a little on her quaint old clothes. She was never idle—it was a calm and peaceful life, lived openly in the sun. But people said that she was a witch, and every Saturday at midnight, as the clock struck twelve, she mounted a broomstick and flew away to the witches' lair, and there with the other witches she did homage to Satan; and if you could surprise them then, you would see them as they really were. One day, some time later, at dawn on a Sunday morning, the old woman was found dead, out of her bed, at some distance from her house, in an open field, and there was a dagger in her heart. But nobody could ever find the assassin, nor discover any motive for the murder, nor could any one ever explain the reason why that woman should have been found in that place on that morning, when she had been seen closing the door of her house as usual the night before, and in the morning, when they carried the body there, the door was still closed.

. But you don't really mean?… Nonsense! Then you would have to believe in witches.

. No, not in such witches. But there comes a Saturday Night in all our lives, even the most peaceful of them, when our souls, like the witches, fly to their lairs. We exist for years to reach one hour which is vital and real. Then our witches' souls take flight, some toward their hopes and ambitions, some toward their vices, their follies, others toward their loves—toward something which is far from and alien to our lives, but which has always smouldered in us, and at heart is what we are.

. It is true. And to-night we are in our lair. We may salute each other. Hail, sister!

. Sister and brother, hail! Whither away, toward good or toward ill?

. I? Where life dissolves in the desert and is gone like the flower.

. I? To the Kingdom of Love where joy is—joy that outlasts death.

. And you, Imperia?

. I? To find myself, to find Donina, poor, ignorant Donina—Donina in love. Your art has revealed to me the light that was in me, and I follow my dream!

. Which is?…

. To grow, to become rich! For money is power. With it, all things are possible, for good or for evil, for justice or revenge!

. The performance is over. The people are coming out.

. It is time to go.

. There! Do you see? The Hindu… I wonder if it would be possible to interest you in the taming of elephants?

. No, but it might in the taming of elephant-drivers. We can sit with him if you like.

. Don't be absurd. You are not accustomed to heroic adventure.

. I aspire merely to look on.

. Signora! Signora! Didn't you hear? Donina

. What is the matter?

. She's mad! She wouldn't listen! After what you told her… She's gone with Nunu and those people—with the Prince!

. That wretched Nunu has sold her. Quick! Do you know where they are?

. Yes, they went without changing, just as they were! I know the place—that is, I don't know the name, but I can find it.

. Come with me.

. Yes… But not like this. You don't know these people.

. What difference does it make? They are my people, and they will know me. I return to prevent another betrayal of one of us, or to revenge with one blow a thousand. Come! Countess, good night. Good night, Leonardo.

. Good night, Imperia.

. Where are you going, Imperia?

. To meet other witches' souls in their lairs. It is Saturday Night.

 Pickwick, with great vehemence. "Who ever saw me with her? Not even my friends here"

"Except on one occasion," said Mr. Tupman.

Mr. Pickwick changed colour.

"Ah," said Mr. Wardle. "Well, that's important. There was nothing suspicious then, I suppose?"

Mr. Tupman glanced timidly at his leader. "Why," said he, "there was nothing suspicious; but I don't know how it happened, mind—she certainly was reclining in his arms."

"Gracious powers!" ejaculated Mr. Pickwick, as the recollection of the scene in question struck forcibly upon him; "what a dreadful instance of the force of circumstances! So she was—so she was."

"And our friend was soothing her anguish," said Mr. Winkle, rather maliciously.

"So I was," said Mr. Pickwick. "I won't deny it. So I was."

"Hallo!" said Wardle; "for a case in which there's nothing suspicious, this looks rather queer-eh, Pickwick? Ah, sly dog-sly dog!" and he laughed till the glasses on the side-board rang again.

"What a dreadful conjunction of appearances!" exclaimed Mr. Pickwick, resting his chin upon his hands. "Winkle—Tupman—I beg your pardon for the observations I made just now. We are all the victims of circumstances, and I the greatest." With this apology Mr. Pickwick buried his head in his hands, and ruminated; while Wardle measured out a regular circle of nods and winks, addressed to the other members of the company.

"I'll have it explained, though," said Mr. Pickwick, raising his head and hammering the table. "I'll see this Dodson and Fogg! I'll go to London to-morrow."

"Not to-morrow," said Wardle; "you're too lame."

"Well, then, next day."

"Next day is the first of September, and you're pledged to ride out with us, as far as Sir Geoffrey Manning's grounds,

Freeman's Court, Cornhill, August 28th, 1830. Bardell against Pickwick. Sir,

Having been instructed by Mrs. Martha Bardell to commence an action against you for a breach of promise of marriage, for which the plaintiff lays her damages at fifteen hundred pounds, we beg to inform you that a writ has been issued against you in this suit in the Court of Common Pleas; and request to know, by return of post, the name of your attorney in London, who will accept service thereof. We are, Sir, Your obedient servants, Dodson and Fogg.

Mr. Samuel Pickwick.

There was something so impressive in the mute astonishment with which each man regarded his neighbour, and every man regarded Mr. Pickwick, that all seemed afraid to speak. The silence was at length broken by Mr. Tupman.

"Dodson and Fogg," he repeated mechanically.

"Bardell and Pickwick," said Mr. Snodgrass, musing.

"Peace of mind and happiness of confiding females," murmured Mr. Winkle, with an air of abstraction.

"It's a conspiracy," said Mr. Pickwick, at length recovering the power of speech; "a base conspiracy between these two grasping attorneys, Dodson and Fogg. Mrs. Bardell would never do it;—she hasn't the heart to do it; she hasn't the case to do it. Ridiculous—ridiculous."

"Of her heart," said Wardle, with a smile, "you should certainly be the best judge. I don't wish to discourage you, but I should certainly say that, of her case, Dodson and Fogg are far better judges than any of us can be."

"It's a vile attempt to extort money," said Mr. Pickwick.

"I hope it is," said Wardle, with a short, dry cough.

"Who ever heard me address her in any way but that in which a lodger would address his landlady?" continued Mr.

 he detailed the malicious libel of the Eatanswill Independent, and the consequent excitement of their friend, the editor.

Mr. Pickwick's brow darkened during the recital. His friends observed it, and, when Mr. Winkle had concluded, maintained a profound silence. Mr. Pickwick struck the table emphatically with his clenched fist, and spoke as follows.

"Is it not a wonderful circumstance," said Mr. Pickwick, "that we seem destined to enter no man's house without involving him in some degree of trouble? Does it not, I ask, bespeak the indiscretion, or, worse than that, the blackness of heart—that I should say so!—of my followers, that, beneath whatever roof they locate, they disturb the peace of mind and happiness of some confiding female? Is it not, I say"

Mr. Pickwick would in all probability have gone on for some time, had not the entrance of Sam, with a letter, caused him to break off in his eloquent discourse. He passed his handkerchief across his forehead, took off his spectacles, wiped them, and put them on again; and his voice had recovered its wonted softness of tone when he said:

"What have you there, Sam?"

"Called at the Post-office just now, and found this here letter, as has laid there for two days," replied Mr. Weller. "It's sealed with a vafer, and directed in round hand."

"I don't know this hand," said Mr. Pickwick, opening the letter. "Mercy on us! what's this? It must be a jest; it—it—can't be true."

"What's the matter?" was the general inquiry.

"Nobody dead, is there?" said Wardle, alarmed at the horror in Mr. Pickwick's countenance.

Mr. Pickwick made no reply, but, pushing the letter across the table, and desiring Mr. Tupman to read it aloud, fell back in his chair with a look of vacant astonishment quite alarming to behold.

Mr. Tupman, with a trembling voice, read the letter, of which the following is a copy:—

 at the same time. "I have just been telling Pickwick that we must have you all down at Christmas. We're going to have a wedding—a real wedding this time."

"A wedding!" exclaimed Mr. Snodgrass, turning very pale.

"Yes, a wedding. But don't be frightened," said the good-humoured old man; "it's only Trundle there, and Bella."

"Oh, is that all!" said Mr. Snodgrass, relieved from a painful doubt which had fallen heavily on his breast. "Give you joy, sir. How is Joe?"

"Very well," replied the old gentleman. "Sleepy as ever."

"And your mother, and the clergyman, and all of 'em?"

"Quite well."

"Where," said Mr. Tupman, with an effort—"where is—she, sir?" and he turned away his head, and covered his eyes with his hand.

"She!" said the old gentleman, with a knowing shake of the head. "Do you mean my single relative—eh?"

Mr. Tupman, by a nod, intimated that his question applied to the disappointed Rachael.

"Oh, she's gone away," said the old gentleman. "She's living at a relation's, far enough off. She couldn't bear to see the girls, so I let her go. But come! Here's the dinner. You must be hungry after your ride. I am, without any ride at all; so let us fall to."

Ample justice was done to the meal; and when they were seated round the table, after it had been disposed of, Mr. Pickwick, to the intense horror and indignation of his followers, related the adventure he had undergone, and the success which had attended the base artifices of the diabolical Jingle.

"And the attack of rheumatism which I caught in that garden," said Mr. Pickwick, in conclusion, "renders me lame at this moment."

"I, too, have had something of an adventure," said Mr. Winkle, with a smile; and at the request of Mr. Pickwick

Runo X]

Out of Pohjola’s dark regions,

Sariola for ever misty.

Presently his horse he halted

At the new-cleared field of Osmo,

And the aged Väinämöinen,

In the sledge his head uplifted,

Heard the noise within the smithy,

And the clatter in the coal-shed.

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Then himself the smithy entered,

And he found smith Ilmarinen,

Wielding mightily his hammer.

Said the smith, said Ilmarinen,

“O thou aged Väinämöinen,

Where have you so long been staying,

Where have you so long been living?”

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Answered in the words which follow:

“There have I so long been staying,

There have I so long been living,

In the gloomy land of Pohja,

Sariola for ever misty.

Long I coursed on Lapland snowshoes,

With the world-renowned magicians.”

Then the smith, e’en Ilmarinen,

Answered in the words which follow

“O thou aged Väinämöinen,

Thou the great primeval sorcerer,

Tell me of your journey thither;

Tell me of your homeward journey.”

Said the aged Väinämöinen,

“Much indeed have I to tell you:

Lives in Pohjola a maiden,

In that village cold a virgin,

Who will not accept a suitor,

Mocks the very best among them.

Half of all the land of Pohja

Praises her surpassing beauty.

From her temples shines the moonlight,

From her breasts the sun is shining,

 "Quite," responded Mr. Winkle.

The breakfast passed off in silence, for each member of the party was brooding over his, or her, own personal grievances. Mrs. Pott was regretting the loss of a beau; Mr. Pott his rash pledge to horsewhip the Independent; Mr. Winkle his having innocently placed himself in so awkward a situation. Noon approached, and after many adieux and promises to return, he tore himself away.

"If he ever comes back, I'll poison him," thought Mr. Pott, as he turned into the little back office where he prepared his thunderbolts.

"If I ever do come back, and mix myself up with these people again," thought Mr. Winkle, as he wended his way to the Peacock, "I shall deserve to be horsewhipped myself—that's all."

His friends were ready, the coach was nearly so, and in half-an-hour they were proceeding on their journey, along the road over which Mr. Pickwick and Sam had so recently travelled, and of which, as we have already said something, we do not feel called upon to extract Mr. Snodgrass's poetical and beautiful description.

Mr. Weller was standing at the door of the Angel, ready to receive them, and by that gentleman they were ushered to the apartment of Mr. Pickwick, where, to the no small surprise of Mr. Winkle and Mr. Snodgrass, and the no small embarrassment of Mr. Tupman, they found old Wardle and Trundle.

"How are you?" said the old man, grasping Mr. Tupman's hand. "Don't hang back, or look sentimental about it; it can't be helped, old fellow. For her sake, I wish you'd had her; for your own, I'm very glad you have not. A young fellow like you will do better one of these days—eh?" With this consolation, Wardle slapped Mr. Tupman on the back, and laughed heartily.

"Well, and how are you, my fine fellows?" said the old gentleman, shaking hands with Mr. Winkle and Mr. Snodgrass

 "You have read the book!" said Sir Eliphaz.

The doctor grunted in a manner that mingled assent and disapproval. His expression betrayed the scientific bigot.

"We know now details of the passage," said Sir Eliphaz. "We have some particulars. We know, for instance, that people blown to pieces take some little time to reconstitute. There is a correlation between this corruptible body and the spirit body that replaces it. There is a sort of spirit doctor over there, very helpful in such cases. And burned bodies, too, are a trouble The sexes are still distinct, but all the coarseness of sex is gone. The passions fade in that better world. Every passion. Even the habit of smoking and the craving for alcohol fade. Not at first. The newly dead will sometimes ask for a cigar. They are given cigars, higher-plane cigars, and they do not ask for more. There are no children born there. Nothing of that sort. That, it is very important to understand. Here is the place of birth; this is where lives begin. This coarse little planet is the seed-bed of life. When it has served its purpose and populated those higher planes, then indeed it may freeze, as you say. A mere empty hull. A seed-case that has served its purpose, mattering nothing.
