Yet hears him boast his freedom, laud his reasoning power; Rule all he can with iron hand, and _finite_ judgment shower; Sees all the devious, hidden paths by sinful mortals trod Where _human_ law and custom dare ostracise a god; Yet knows a germ of goodness, deep in the human breast, Is living in the worst of men however much depressed.

- summary: [Illustration] Mistress Devoll would have insisted that we turn back and remain at the log shanty until the rain ceased; but both Captain Haskell and Master Rouse put an end to any such proposition by saying that now had come the season when we might rightly expect storms, and if we were to delay our journey save at such times as the weather was fair, winter would overtake us among the mountains where we might find it impossible either to go ahead or to retreat. The most important matter was the preparing of the wagon, where the women would sleep during such nights as we failed to find lodgings in taverns or farmhouses, and it was with infinite care that Master Rouse and Captain Haskell almost rebuilt this cart, which was what I believe is generally called a Conestoga wagon, although why it should be given such a name I do not understand, unless it may have been made in some town by the name of Conestoga.
