Committed for Trial. 137 ments Thenceforth she would be a teaching machine , or a reading- machine ; perhaps she might find an engagement as travelling companion and interpreter to a lady or famdy about to visit the Continent ; her knowledge of modern languages would fit her for such an occupation, and she would like it better, as there would be more excitement ; more of life altogether in the undertaking. A thought struck her, — she would apply to her old schoolmistress at Paris, whose connection was very large and varied; she would doubtless know of something likely to suit.

My host tried his utmost to make me comfortable, but his knowledge was not equal to his wishes, and, certainly, the resources at his command fell short of the requirements.

Without owing na tural allegiance, or having any incentive to serve us, less ignoble than his pay, he is in our hands no better than a living machine . What the men do not possess within themselves must be communicated by the officers : and to effect this important object an addition of Europeans to the native regiments is indispensable.

Meeting with no aid from those around him, and knowing they were incapacitated from giving sound advice, he kept his own counsel and confided in no one. So subtle was his mind, and so sudden and resolute was he in action, his people learned simply to obey his directions, and became mere machines in his hands. But machines in time become ruined and destroyed, and Theodorus began to find his engines of destruction wearing out from perpetual work.

In engaging servants in other countries as well as in Eussia, it is necessary to make a careful selection, and to put them in such a position that they should value their place and fear to lose it ; and when all this has been done, the watchful eye and directing hand of the master should be always present. In a word, servants must be treated, not as machines , but as human beings who are always more in clined to act according to their immediate personal interest than according to the dictates of high morality.

In the Western States such a machine is rarely needed, for wheat is there generally free from other grains.
For instance, throughout New England, generally, where various kinds of grain are raised in close proximity, oats, peas, barley, wheat, etc., frequently become mixed, and a machine called a separator is used, by means of which the several grains may be rapidly obtained free from others. In the Western States such a machine is rarely needed, for wheat is there generally free from other grains. In such case the ordinary cleaning apparatus is commonly used ; it consists of a cylindrical sieve of wire cloth fixed in a sloping position, and having internal partitions causing it to resemble an Archimedean screw.

City lay as quiet and deserted as a city of the dead. Now there came the distant pealing of a bell, and a train from the east bustled into the depot, and paused there a few minutes for the engine to draw a fresh supply of water. It was an emigrant train, with a rough crowd on board bound for the mines.

Another attempt to proclaim the bull by Adam Newton, guardian of the Friars Minor in Berwick, had no better result. Newton saw Bruce at Aid-Camus (Old Cam bus), where he was at work day and night in the construction of siege engines , and, having got a safe-conduct for himself and his papers, returned, in hopes of being al lowed to deliver them. But Bruce was firm, and would not receive the bulls unless addressed to him as king, and, as he now added, until he had possession of Berwick.
