Description
Excerpt from Horse Shoe Robinson, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale of the Tory Ascendency
Since that period, well-a-day! The hand of the reaper has put in his sickle upon divided fields; crowded proge nies have grown up under these paternal roof-trees; daughters have married and brought in strange names; the subsistence of one has been spread into the gamer of ten; the villages have grown populous; the University has lifted up its didactic head; and every where over this abode of ancient wealth, the hum of industry is heard in the carol of the ploughman, the echo of the wagoner''s whip, the rude song of the boatman, and in the clatter of the mill. Such are the mischievous interpolations of the republican system!
