Duty PraInest at first sIoht.

There is nothing like the first
glance we get at duty, before there
has been any special pleading of our
affections or inclinaticns. Duty is
never uncertain at first. 1t is only
after we have got involved in the
mazes and sophistries of wishing that
things are otherwise than they are.

voters of America would do if an in

New York
She answered: eff foreign army
of men should land here they would
do their duty as they always have in

would join our men in their march to
repel them, and what we would do to
