1. "HOPE waits upon the flowery prime.."]—
"Famine, and Sword, and Fire, crouch for employment."]—
SHAKSPEARE

     2. "Monsters both!"]—Such was the cause of quarrel between the Houses of York and Lancaster; and of too many others, with which the page of History reproaches the reason of man.

     3. "Oh! polish'd perturbation!—golden care!"]—SHAKSPEARE

     4. "The brave Bernois."]—Henry the Fourth of France. It may be said of this monarch, that had all the French sovereigns resembled him, despotism would have lost its horrors; yet he had considerable failings, and his greatest virtues may be chiefly imputed to his education in the School of Adversity.

     5. "Delug'd, as with an inland sea, the vales."]—From the heavy and incessant rains during the last campaign, the armies were often compelled to march for many miles through marshes overflowed; suffering the extremities of cold and fatigue. The peasants frequently misled them; and, after having passed these inundations at that hazard of their lives, they were sometimes under the necessity of crossing them a second and a third time; their evening quarters after such a day of exertion were often in a wood without shelter; and their repast, instead of bread, unripe corn, without any other preparation than being mashed into a sort of paste.

     6. "The prey of dark suspicion and regret."]—It is remarkable, that notwithstanding the excessive hardships to which the army of the Emigrants was exposed, very few in it suffered from disease till they began to retreat; then it was the despondence consigned to the most miserable death many brave men who deserved a better fate; and then despair impelled some to suicide, while others fell by mutual wounds, unable to survive disappointment and humiliation.

     7. "Right onward."]——MILTON, Sonnet 22d.

     8. "I gave to misery all I had, my tears."]——GRAY.
