Excerpt from book: CHAPTER IV " Would your reverence be wanting any chickens? Wee Matty Bruce is at the door with a basketful." " No, I don't want any." " But there are but two pair left in the yard, and I'll hould you these are good ones " "I don't want any." "But you mightn't get a chanst of such fine ones again " " I don't care if I never textit{see a chicken again; I won't have them." Mr. Duffin was sitting over the dining-room fire with a pipe in his mouth; he kept his back turned upon Betty, and drummed impatiently on his knee with a broad flat hand which was not so clean as it might have been. It was a dreary day, a day on which Betty, and the fact that he could not be secure of the room to himself for five consecutive minutes, seemed particularly unbearable. A drizzling rain was falling every now and then, enough to make the prospect of an objectless walk untempting, and Mr. Duffin had been dragging out the afternoon dismally enough. The room had a stale smell of ale and mutton ; JrJetty had made several only half - successful attempts to take away the dinner-things. Shehad left the cover of the potato-dish and Mr. Duffin's plate on the sideboard, and had made no attempt to remove a cloth which was none too clean. What was the use, she would have said, when she would only have to put it back again for tea ? Perhaps with a similar idea, she had not troubled to dust the room for the last few days; when Mr. Duffin put up his hand on the mantelpiece to look for matches, he brought it back coated. " Matty says that sooner than take them on, she'll give you the chickens for shillin's apiece " The reappearance of Betty's smiling, dishevelled head was too much for him. He walked to the door, pushed her out, and slammed it hopelessly, for he had long ago learned th...

Excerpt from book: JACOB'S VOW: OR THE MODESTY AND REASONABLENESS OF JACOB'S DESIRE GEN. XXVIII. 20. And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, if God will be with me, and will keep me in the way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then shall the Lord be my God, (-r. The only thing that I intend to consider upon this place of holy Scripture, is the modesty and reasonableness of Jacob's Desire. He doth not desire great, ness of wealth, or honor, or power, or splendor, or great equipage in this world ; but all that he desires in reference to this world, is, 1. That the comforta. ble presence and the sense of the favor and love of God should be with him : If God will be with me. 2. That the protection of the Divine Providence may be continually over him : and will keep me in the way that I go : 3. That he would supply him, not with curiosities or delicacies, but with necessaries ; and will give me bread to eat and raiment to put on. And the truth is, this should be the rule and measure of every good man, in reference to this life, and the enjoyments of it, and the desires of them, until he come to his Father's house in peace ; that house wherein there are many mansions, that the great fa. ther, of whom all the family in heaven and earth is named, hath provided for such as fear, and love, and obey him. Indeed the two former of these, though they be no more than what the bountiful God freely affords to all that truly love him, and depend upon him, are of a strange and vast extent. First, the comfortable presence of God supplies abundantly all that can be desired by us, and abundantly countervails whatsoev. er else we seem to want; it is better than life itself. And when the ancients would express all that seem, ed ...
