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 little 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 afterwards
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
neighbour; living and dying (as I hope all my young readers will)
sincere and good Christians.
