For if a desire should come into conflict with reason we shall then reason and not desire, because it will be impossible retaining our reason to be SENSELESS in our desires, and in that way knowingly act against reason and desire to injure ourselves.

Still, with the exception of these slight marks, which serve as a seal to ripened age, nothing denoted any weakening in the Canadian; on the contrary, his eye was still bright, his body equally straight, and his limbs just as muscular.

Now the throng glide away; chilled is every breast, And stillness wraps the scene; all Rome hath sunk to rest, And naught disturbs the silence but the watchful sound Of the sentry of the legion on his lonely round.
