government to put an end to Aaron
Burr's rebellion. | was "A cabin BOY and
went along with him. ! could swear
like an old salt. could gamble in every
style of gambling. | knew all the wick

One day my father cleared everybody
outof the cabin except myselfand locked
the door. lie said; David, what are you

to follow the sea- Follow the sea and

sacring Gods children. There goes the
same man. This time he is afoot.
Where is he going now? Going on the
road to Ostia to die for Christ. They
tried to whip it out of him, they tried
TO scare it out of him, they thought
they would give him enough of it by
putting him on small diet, and denying
him cloak, and condemuiug him as "a
criminal, and bowling at him through
the streets; but they could not freeze
it out Of him, and they could not sweat
