Now, never remind him of past errors, never allude to them: make his home cheerful, make it the pleasantest place he can find any where, and he won't want to seek amusement elsewhere, or excitement either; for these seditious meetings intoxicate by their excitement.

Oh! I am very glad I have touched him; that I have prevented these seditious men from 'stealing his heart.'" In this way they chatted, until they arrived at the cottage, which Hodgins had just reached by a shorter, but more rugged path.
"It is such a lovely afternoon," said Mr.Hopewell, "I believe I will rest in this arbour here awhile, and enjoy the fresh breeze, and the perfume of your honeysuckles and flowers." "Wouldn't a pipe be better, Minister ?" said Mr.Slick.

"For my part, I don't think any thing equal to the flavour of rael good gene_wine_ first chop tobacco." "Well, it is a great refreshment, is tobacco," said Mr.Hopewell.

"I don't care if I do take a pipe.

Bring me one, Mr.Hodgins, and one for yourself also, and I will smoke and talk with you awhile, for they seem as natural to each other, as eating and drinking do." As soon as these were produced, Mr.Slick and I retired, and requested Mrs.Hodgins to leave the Minister and her husband together for a while, for as Mr.Slick observed, "The old man will talk it into him like a book; for if he was possessed of the spirit of a devil, instead of a Chartist, he is jist the boy to drive it out of him.
