not be surprised.

Mary Percival was married to Captain Sinclair, who sold out, and retired
upon half-pay, to live upon his estate in Scotland.

Percival went to college, and turned out a very clever lawyer.

John remained in Canada until he was twenty years old, when he came home
to see his father and mother. He had grown to six feet four inches high,
and was stout in proportion. He was a very amusing fellow, and could
talk fast enough, but his chief conversation was upon hunting and
sporting. The farm had been well conducted; the emigrants had adhered to
the agreements and were now cultivating for themselves. Martin had three
papooses (as the Indians call the children) by the Strawberry. Malachi
had grown too old to go out often into the woods, and he sat by the fire
in the winter, and basked in the sun at the door of the house during the
summer. Oscar was dead, but they had some fine puppies of his breed. Mr.
Campbell gave John a deed, on his return, conveying to him the Canadian
property, and shortly afterward John picked up a little Canadian wife at
Quebec, who made him perfectly happy.

Mr. and Mrs. Campbell lived to a good old age, respected as long as they
lived, and lamented when they died. They had known prosperity and
adversity, and in each state of life had acquitted themselves with
exemplary propriety, not having been elated by the one, or depressed by
the other. They knew that this world was a world of trial, and but a
preparation for another; they therefore did their duty in that state of
life to which it pleased God to call them--proving in all their actions,
that they remembered their duty to their God, and their duty to their
neighbor; living and dying (as I hope all my young readers will) sincere
and good Christians.
