"These volumes should be on the table of every one who hates oppression.-Observer."

"Don't be too sure of that, neighbour; I've done more already than you seem to give me credit for. Old and worn out as I am, I still hope once again to see the old familiar faces at Temple-Thorpe ere I die."

"Nay, nay, Frank, much as one would like to see the Widow Belmont and Master Walter in possession of their rights-it is madness to expect it. The law, man-the law is against them; and as the old proverb says, 'Its hard kicking against the pricks.'"

"True, neighbour, very true; and yet if one had'nt to kick against the pricks now and then, we should stand a fair chance of being kicked out of the world altogether. I know how many difficulties I have to encounter and overcome; but hark you, neighbour, although the law may be against me, I have justice on my side, and that, let me tell you, is no mean advantage. Many and many a time, since my poor mistress was driven like a beggar

woman from her home, when my heart has sunk within me at the obstacles I have had to contend against-has that thought given me new strength. Justice! 'tis a fine thing, neighbour—a fine thing. The man who fights for justice need have little fear for the result. If I succeed, so much the better-if not, I shall, at all events, have the satisfaction of knowing that I have done my duty. I shall have stood by the widow and the fatherless in the time of their affliction, and though my efforts may have failed, be assured a day will come, when the proud oppressor shall be cast down, and the cause of justice shall triumph."

"No doubt, Frank, that will be so; an' that's the very reason why I can't understand why you should be running up an' down the country worrying your very life out in the way you are doing, when, after all, you may not be able to hasten the result a single day. Bide your time, man, patiently, and Providence will set all right i' the end."
