"Some persons, in looking upon life, view it as they would view a
picture, with a stern and criticising eye. He also looks upon life as a
picture, but to catch its beauties, its lights,--not its defects and
shadows. On the former he loves to dwell. He has a wonderful knack at
shutting his eyes to the sinister side of anything. Never beat a more
kindly heart than his; alive to the sorrows, but not to the faults, of
his friends, but doubly alive to their virtues and goodness. Indeed,
people seemed to grow more good with one so unselfish and so gentle."
--Emily Foster.
The governor, from the stern of his schooner, gave a short but truly
patriarchal address to his citizens, wherein he recommended them to
comport like loyal and peaceable subjects,--to go to church regularly on
Sundays, and to mind their business all the week besides. That the women
should be dutiful and affectionate to their husbands,--looking after
nobody's concerns but their own,--eschewing all gossipings and morning
gaddings,--and carrying short tongues and long petticoats.
