FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS JOURNAL,
The September number of the Ladies’ Magazine
contains several very good articles. It is a work of
very uniform merit; always respectablo and al
ways pure. We always look first for some of the
editor’s poetry; and we are seldom disappointed
in our expectations of finding something worth
reading. The following relates to a very interest
ing portion of our history, and commemorates a
name wbioh we think has been too much neglec
ted.
This young man was a student in Yale College,
when the Revolutionary struggle commenced.—
He left his studies for the post of danger; and
though not twenty years of age, wns appointed
Captain of a company in the regiment of Colonel
Ktiotvllon. After the British had obtained pos
session of Long Island, General Washington con
sidered it of th“ utmost importance to obtain in
formation of their strength Hnd intentions. Cnpt.
Hale offered himself a volunteer for this hazardous
service. He pRssed in disguise to Long Island,
examined every part of the British army, and ob
tained tile best possible information respecting
their situation ami fulure operations. In his at
tempts to return, he was apprehended, carried be
fore Sir William Howe, nnd the proof of his ob
ject was so clear, that he frankly acknowledged
who lie was, ami what were his views.
Sir William Ilotve at once gave an order to the
mnrslial to execute him the next morning. The
order was accordingly executed in a most unfeel
ing manner, and by as great a savage as ever dis
graced humanity. A clergyman, whose atten
dance he requested, was refused him; a biblc for a
moment’s devotion, was not procured though he
requested it. Letters which, on the morning of
his execution, he wrote to his mother, nnd other
friends, were destroyed; and this very extraordi
nary reason was given by the provost marshal—
•< tjjgj the rebels should not know they hnd a mnn
in theft 1 army who could die with so muclt firm-
; ssl!” t . ,
Unknown to nil around him, without it sirigte
friend to offer him the least consolation, thus fell
ns amiable and promising n young man as America
could boast, with this ns his dying observation—
that lie only lamented lie hud but one liie to de
vote to his country.”
To the memory of Andre, England ha« erected
magnificent monument, nnd bestowed on his
family high honors nnd liberal rewards.
Tothe memory of llale, not a stone has been
erected, nor an inscription, to pre-erve his name
from oblivion.—Ilannah Adams’ History of New
England.
,DEATH OF THE YOUNG VOLUNTEER.
Died he as the soldier joys to die,
When the banner lie follows is waving high.
And from voices, whose tones lie remembers well.
Loudly the rimers of triumph swell;
'Till victory's shout on the free breeze floats,
He hnihcauttht its sound, 'mid the wild war notes,
—One flash of hope, his eyes grow dim—
The land lie hath served will remember him!
Died hens the patriot prays to rest,
Ilia tailors all crown’d and his country blest;
Garrulous age, Ins echo of fame,
Repeating the proud and cherished name;
While the spirit of youth, like a charger stirred
Rv the clarion's swell at the glorious word,
Thirsting for danger, nud spurning atfaar,
Hounds to follow his hero's career j
Ho died, but noton the battle plain,
Where laurels are freshened with crimson rain.
Nor the rolling drum, nor fife’s shrill tone,
Nerved him to stifle the low death groan:
Nor the clasp of a comrade his cold hand thrilled,
And bade his heart leap ere its pulse was stilled.
That a message of love from his lips should be borne
To the fond friends who uever might greet bis rsturu.
He died and his memory passed away,
Like the rainbow gleam from the torrenTs spray;
And ne’er ut his country's high triumphs was heard
His name, that should be the signal word,
When frum learning's halls, anil bowers of mirth,
Young genius, at Freedom's call, stains forth,
And ye read iu the fearless flashing ev«,
He comes to the battle ‘to door die!'
He died, and 'iwas by tlie foeman's hand,
Rut not like a soldier, by ball or brand,—
A felon's fate was his fearful doom!
Met gather young flowers to deck his tomb..
Spring’s earliest buds—they shall emblems bo
* >f tlte hopes that wooed him to victory—
O, bright they shone,—hut there came a frown,
And lus sun in its morning light went down!
And he died, anil Ins death was a hitter one,
For moating foes were gazing-on •
He heard their scorn on his loved land poured,
Yet his fettered hand eould not grasp his sword.
He stood henenth the fatal tree,
Ami gazsd on his cord undauntedly!
Ifthcro came a pang, it blanched not his cheek—
Ann of the wish they had mocked, he disdained to
speak.
He died when the war cloud wns gathering fast,
When havoc nnd horror were borne on the blast—
Rut sure to the martyr of freedom is given
A glance of the future wheu ripe for heaven—
O tiidst thou not see, young Hale, in that hour,
The eagle’s broad pinions, in pride and powor,
Rearing the banner of liberty,
Shadow thv own land from sea to sea?
And didst thou not feel, when pouring thy breath,
That duty done, plucks tho string frum death.

nnd a grievous coucii it slmll be to them,
tve are told by the prophet.’ ‘ Pleuse the
Lord,’ responded n fat merchant, uud his
lushallah was doled out with a great de
votion.—‘ Were all the ships in the world
joined against the Sultan in the buttle ?’
iiskeil nil Arab Sheik in the simplicity of
his heart; ‘ Ay, all,” answered a Ulema of
great eminence, ‘ all the Cnftres of Fru-
guestan were leagued against the true be
lievers, how else could they prevail, what
ten of them could face one true Moslem ?
but ten thousand to one are too great odds ;
and were there not forty t housand of their
ships against us V ‘ Allah Wakhar,’ said,
an Effendi, a man of learning, 4 there is
hut one God, and if the English were not
at Nnvarino, the Francowa, the Nerhpso-
wn, nnd the Muscowu, would now be food
for the kelp el linin' !’ (the sen dogs.—)
Allah Karim !’ ijueiiluted as old priest,
‘God is most merciful, it is only thti in
fidels who say that the ships of the Sul
tan were burned; it is impossible, because
the Giaours eould not burn them.’ 4 Cal-
Inm tliaihl’ cried a dozen of tho party,
4 it is well spoken, it is the ships of the
unbelievers that nre burned, not the Sul
tan’s.’
4 Did not the Algerines,’ snivl a grave
old man, ‘destroy the entire fleet of tho
General got his life, hut there were otdy
five thousand of them altogether.'
4 Five thousand or twenty,’ cried the
lawyer, 4 is it not all the same thing ; were
they not nil infidels, and were they not
vnqnishcd with the sword of Islam ?’
‘ Allah Jtaritn,’ cried the priest, 4 God is
most merciful; such he the fate of nil
who believe not in the true prophet, to
whose name he eternal glory.’
4 If the sultan,' said the Efiendi, 4 hnd
taken olf the heads of the Jnntssnrie a
hundred years ago, the law of Islam
would now ho spread over the whole
earth.’
4 As it is,’ replied the priest, 4 nre not
the true believers like the stars of heav
en? who can count them? is not their
empire over the whole earth from the
rising even to the setting place of the
sun ?’
4 It is not in the Frozen Occnn, how
ever,’said the Levantine, ‘there are no
Mosslems there.’
4 It is a lie,’ said the priest, they are eve-*
j'y where, for the prophet hath said it.’
‘What, in America ?’ said the Levan
tine, 4 it wns only discovered n few years
ago!’
1 Well, then, if it was not known to the
prophet,’ replied the priest, 4 of course lie
English a few yenrs ago, and where were had nothing to say to it.’

liken pastek, a wnter-melon? does it grow
in the land? is it like a raindrop? does it
fall from the sky ?’ 4 Wallah caltam thaib!’
Gothtvas called to witness by several, that
it was a good saying.
The English nre a great people,’ said
n young Mnlim, a secretary of the gover
nor’s, 4 they nre a very great people ; wlint

low voice, 4 the law of the prophet could
not be intended for all mankind.’
4 It was meant for tlte universe,’ said
I he priest,‘and hell’s fire is the portion of
him who rejects it.’
‘If every man is hound to fast the Ra
mazan, from sunrise to sunset,' replied
Levantine, ‘on the pain of reprobation,
razors can he comparer! to English ? wlint j the MostHem of the Frozen Ocean, where

NATIONAL PREJUDICES.
Honest brother Jonathan 1ms always
been an object no slight ridicule on ac
count of his pompous claims that the su
periority of his own republic over every
other nulion on earth shall bo universally
recognised. Nor is he alone hi his vain
glorious boasting. The volatile French
man will tell you that Paris is the most
extraordinary city of modern days, be
cause it is there that pironetts are twirled
in capital style and, the hnu.ichesof frogs
devoured with gout. The haughty Spnii*
iards would engage your ear with u desser-
tniion upon the wonderful volume and
richness of his native tongue, compared
with which all others are barren and fee
ble, and fit only for the dry details of
buying and bartering and selling. The
efleminate Italian assures you that his is
the only land of song, und blutf John
Bull maintains that the roast beef, porter,
nud broadcloths of Old England are the
only articles fit for a decent man, in any
country, to eat, drink, aud wear.
In the following extract from Madden’s
Travels in Turkey, it will be perceived
that the Egyptian quid uuncs, like the little
knots of politicians that congregate- n-
round our country stores and taverns, have
the same ideas of the insignificance of
every people beyond their own borders
that is every where more or less preva
lent :
“ The Nnvarino business now gave a po
litical turn to their discussions, and many
of their opinions of European policy and
power were so singular, that I could with
difficulty bring myself to believe they were
seriously delivered.
“ A fierce looking little man, with a
green turban, high in office, broached the
subject of the lain buttle : * The Giaours
have burned our ships,” said he, 4 hut
God will burn them; hell is a hot eouch,
1 It is very true,’ replied the Ulema, • him
hey have conquered all the world except
ing the deminions of the Sultan. India
is theirs, and some say thelndinn Moslems
are their slaves.’ 4 Min Allah, heaven
forbid !’ exclaimed the priest,' n Moslem
tinder nil infidel, it cannot be; the Lord
would not suffer n dog, a Caffre, to call a
true believer Servan ; Min Allah!’
4 It is even so,’ said the Efiendi, ‘ and
the English now want to he our masters,
nnd they will be one day. It has been
long prophesied vve must fall; Stnmboul
will see the son of yellowness, the Russi
an within her lofty walls, and Mars will be
a hone between the dogs of France nnd
England, hut the hitter must have it.’ 4 If
either of the Cadres must have it,’ said
the fat merchant, 4 let it he the FrouAtlkr if [
we only could keep our money aud oar
women out of their reach, they are good
humoured infidels enough, they loi(efan
tasia, they nre alwuys merry.”
4 It was not easy,’ said the divine, 4 when
they were here, to keep either onr money
or our women from the Caflfrcs—confu
sion to their race; the other infidels plun
dered, the people less; but who loved them
more ? Were they not both the enemies
of God’s prophets and his Inws ?’
A good looking young man in an Ar-
nount uniform, who had hitherto been si
lent, now gave Ins opinion of the two pow
ers: ‘The English Giaours,’ said lie, ‘have
most nioaet, because they have only to
send to India for us many ships loads as
they please, and they can better afford to
pay men for fighting for them than the
other. The French bring no money with
them ; wherever they go tlu-y pillage, hut
they never take a paras away \Viih them
after nil. Whichever gives the best thyme,
rations, is the Giaour for nit- A runout.
‘Surely,’ exclaimed the Malim, ‘you
would not draw your sword for u dog, a
Christian ?’
4 For no man who did not pay me,’ re
plied the Arnuout, evading the question.
What, for u Caffre?’ rejoiued the Ma
lim.
4 Why not,’ said tho Arnaout, ‘when
tho business is to cut another Caffre’s
throat?’
This was n 'good joke and every one
felt himself bound to laugh. When si
lence was restored, the Lawyer put a ques
tion which puzzled the whole assembly
exceedingly, “ Whero is England?”—
“ England,” replied the priest, with the
he takes it for granted that every body is
just as deaf as hnnself.
“ Win is it ? I say who in the world
is it 1” Mrs. Jones, going close to lits
ear, screams out. 4 It’s Jonny lleedie.”
44 llo—Jonny. heedle. I remember he
w ts one summer at the siege of Boston.”
14 No, no, lather, bless your heart, that was
his graudlalliur, that’s been dead nud gone
this twenty years.’’ 44 Ho—‘but where
does he come from ?’’ 44 Down town.”
“ And what does he follow for a livin’ ?”
And he did not stop asking questions of
this sort, till all the particulars of the
Bcedle family were published and pro
claimed in Mrs. Jones’ last screech. He
then sunk hack into his doze again.
The dog stretched himself before one
andiron, the cat squat down before the o-
ther. Silence came on by degrees, like a
calm snow storm, till nothing whs heard
hut a cricket under the hearth, keeping
time with a sappy yellow birch foresrick.
Sally sat up prim, ns if she were pinned
to the chairhnck ; her hands crossed gen
teelly on her lap, and her eyes looking
straight into the fire. Mammy Jones
tried to straighten herself too, and laid
her hand across on her lap. But they
would not lay still. It was full twenty-
four hours since they hnd done any work,
and they were out of all patience with
keeping Sunday. Do wlmt she -would to
keep them quiet, they would bounce up
now and then, und go through tho moti
ons in spite of the fourth commandment.
F'U' tny parti set looking very much like
a look The more I tried' to say some
thing, the more my tongue stuck fast. I
put my right leg over my left nnd said
“ hem.” Then I changed, and put left
over the right. It was no use. The si
lence kept coming on thicker nud thicker.
The drops of sweat began to crawl over
I got my eyes on my hat, hanging
on n peg, on the road to the door. At this
moment the old captuiu sung out at once,
‘‘Johnny Becdle!” It sounded liken
clap of thunder, and I started right up an
end.
“ Johnny Bcedle, you’ll never handle
stch a drumstick ns your father did, if
you live to tlte age of Methusnler. He
would toss up his drumstick, and while
’twus whirling in tho air, taken gillerrum,
aud then kitch it ns it came down, with
out losin’ u stroke in the time. What
d’ye think of thnt, ha ? Rut scull your
chuir close around side cr me, so you can
hear. Now what er yno come a'ter ? I

how ye all do.” 44 ITo—tiow fnai*» ano
ther lie. You've come a courtin’, John
ny Beedle; you’re a’ter our Sal. Say,
now, do.you wunt to marry, or only
court?”
This was what I called a chnaker.—
Poor Sally made hut one jump, nud laud
ed in the middle of the kitchen ; and then
she skulled in the dark corner, till tlte old
man ufter laughing himself into a whoop
ing cough was put to bed.
Then came apples and cider; nnd, the
ice being,broke, plenty of chnt with mam
ma Jones about the minister and 4 stir-
mon.’ 1 agreed with her to a nicety on
all the points of doctrine: but 1 hnd for-

‘I do not believe it, cried the priest iu n
fury, whoever saw a day 6 months long?
who could sleep au entire night 0 months
long?—no man.’
4 But I read it in a hook,* said the Lev
antine, written by tho famous Volney.*
4 Wlint is written in the perspicuous vol
ume of truth,’ replied the priest, 4 admits
neither of doubt or disputation ; there is
not a word in the Koron concerning the
days of six months’duration, neither of
the nights therefore, 1 disbelieve it beenusc
it is impossible.’
‘Kaif,’ said the Laventine, 4 do ns you

COTJRTSHIP.
After my t-leighride last winter, and
the slippery trick I wus served by Patty
Bean, uo body would suspect me of hanker
ing after the woman nguin in a hurry.*—
To hear me Curse and swear, and rail out
against the whole feminine gender, you
would have taken it for grunted thnt I
should never so much us looked nt one n-
gain to nil eternity—O, lint I was wicked.
‘ Darn and blast their eyes,’says I—Blame
their skins, torment their hearts, and
darn them to durnatinnt,”
Finally, I took an oath, nnd sworo thnt
if I ever meddled or hnd any dealings
with any of them again, (in the sparking
line I menu,) I wished I mi
and choakt
But swearing off from women, nnd
gals, till shining and glistening in their
Sunday clothes and clean faces, is like
swearing off from liquor and going into a
grogshop. It’s all smoke.
1 held out and kept fir .t to my oath for
three whole Sundays. Forenoons, n’ter«-
noons, and intermissions complete. On
the fourth, there were strong sy inptoms of
n change of weather. A chap about my
size, was seen on the way to the meeting
house with a new patent hat an ; his
head hung by the -ears upon « shirt
collar; his cravat hnd n pudding in it,
and branched out into a double bow knot.
Heenrrieda straight back nnd a still’neck,
as a main ought to, when he has his best
clothes on ; und every time he spit he
sprung his body forward like n jackknife,
iu order to shoot clear of the ruffles.
Squire Jones’ pew is next but two to
mine, nnd when I stand up to prayers,
superscillious nir of superior knowledge,) and take my coat tail under my arm, and
“England is in London!”‘‘La! In! mousn | turn my buck to the minister, I very na-
kiddi,” cried the Effendi, the man of | turally look right straight at Sully Jones,
learning; “England is not in London, Now Sally Jones has got a face not to be
London is only a belled, a town, but Eng
land is iu the great sea of the north, it is
an Island, like America which is also
English.
* That’s impossible’ said the lawyer, ‘ so
great a nation never could ho an island ;
are the people of Scio or Cyprus to be
compared to the English, and are not both
of those places Islands 1’
4 Do the French come from an island
too?’ said a Sheik, from Assouan, who
had never seen an island, but that of Elc-
phantini, ‘there cannot be many of them.’
4 When they were here,’ said the Mad-
lim, there was no scarcity of them,' th<fj»
were forty thousand strong in Scatideriu
alone.’
4 Do not talk of thousands,’ exclaimed
the priest, 4 callem tmHioutii, the word is
millions; were they not like locusts from
Scandeira to Assouan ?’
4 With ten thousand zlrnnuts,’ said the
young soldier, 4 1 would have driven them
into the sea, every Caffre of them. How
many thousand of English did we not
trample on, in llaschid a few years ago?’
4 They were five nnd twenty thousand
strong in Rosetta,’ said the lawyer, 4 and
they were all glam.’
* Net all,’ nuswered the; Bffondi, 4 the
grinned at in n fog. Indeed as regards
beauty, some folks think she can puli an
even yoke with Patty Beau. For my part
I think there is not much boot between
them. Any how, they are so nigh match
ed that they hated and despized each o-
titer like rank poison ever siucc they were
school girls.
Squire Jones had got his evening fire
on and set himself down to rend the great
family bihle, when he heard a rap nt his
door. “ Walk in. Well, John, how der
do? Git out Portipey. Pretty well, 1
tlmnk you, squire, how do you do? Why,

you hold your yop,—haul up a chair and
set down John.”
“ How do you do, Mrs. Jones? O
middliu,’ how’s you mnrm ? Don’t for
get the mat, there, Mr. Beedle.” This
put me in mind tty I Had been off Sound
ings several times, in the long muddy
laue ; and my boots were in sweet pick
le.
It was now old captain Jones’ turn, the
Grand-father. Being roused fr.om a doze
by tho hassle anff racket, he opened both
his eyes, at first with wander and asto
nishment. At last he began to hallo so
loud that you might hour him a mile; for
grarc,” thought I, throwing a sly squint
at Sally.
At last Mrs. Jones lighted t’other can
die, and after charging Sully to look well
to the fire, she led the way to bed, and
’Squire gathered up his shoes and stock
ings and followed.
Sully and I were sitting a good yard a-
part, UonCst measure. For fear of get
ting tongue tied again, 1 set ill with a
steady stream of talk. 1 told her all the
particulars about the weather that was
past, and also made some pretty cute
guesses at what it would he in future.—
At first 1 gave a hitch up with my chair ut
every full stop. Then, growing saucy 1
repeated it nt every comma and semico
Ion ; nt last it was inch, inch, hich, and I
planted myself fast by the side of her.
“ 1 swow, Sally, you looked so plenguy
handsome to-day, thnt 1 wanted to eat
you up.” “ Pshaw, git along you,” says
she. My hnud lied crept aloug, some
how on its fingers, and hegnn to scrape
acquaintance with hers. She Sent it home
again with n desperate jerk. 44 Try
it again”—no better luck. 44 Why Miss
Jones you're gettin’ ohstropulous—a little
old mndisli I guess.” “ Hands ofi', fair
play Mr. Beedle.”
It is a good sign to find a girl sulkey.'
i knew where the shoe pinched. It was
thnt are Patt^ Bean business. So I
went to work to persuade her that I ne
ver bad any notion after Patty, and to
pr5Ve it, I fell tP running her down, at a
great rate. Sully could n.ot help chiming
with me, I father guess Miss Patty suffer
ed a few, I now not only gqt hold of her
hund without opposition, but managed to
slip an arm around her. waist. But there
was no satisfying, so I must go to poke-
ing oat my lip after a buss. 1 guess 1
rued it. She fetched me a slap in the
face that made me see stars, nnd my ears
rung like a brass kettle for a quarter of
an hour. I was forced to laugh nt the
joke, though out of the wrong side of my
mouth, which gave my face something the
look of a gridiron.
The battle now began in the regular
way. “ Ah Sally give me a kiss and ha’
done whit it now. i won’t so there, teeb
not. I’ll take it whether or no. Do if »
you lure. And at it we went rough att4
tumble. Au odd destruction of starch
now commenced. The bow of my cmk
vat was squat up in half a shake, at tha
next bout smash went shirt collar, and at
the same time some of the head fastenings
gave way, and down came Sally’s hair to.
a flood, like a mill dam broke loose, car
rying away half a dozen combs. On*
dig of Sally’s elbow, and my blooming
ruffles wihed down like a dish-cloth. But
she had no time to boast. Soon her neck
tackling began to shiver, it parted at
the throat, Und whooruii, down came a
whole school of blue and white heeds,
scampering uud running races every way
over the floor.
By the hnkery, if Stilly Jones isn't re
al grit, there’s no sitttk’sc. She fought'
fair however; I must own, and neither
tried to bite or scrach—and when sh«
could fight no longer for want of breath,
she yielded handsomely. Her arms fell
down by her sides, her head hack over
her chair, her eyes closed, arid there lay
her little plump mouth all in the air.—
Lord I did you ever see a hawk pounce
upon a young robin ? Or a bumblebee
upon n clover top? I sny nothing.
Concern it how a buss will crack of a
frosty night. Mrs. Jones was about half
way between asleep and awnk«. 44 There
goes my yeast bottle,” suvs she to herself
— 44 burst into twenty hundred pieces;
und my breads all dough again.”
The upshot of the business is, thnt I
fell in love with Sally Jones head over
curs. Every Sunday night, ruin or shine
finds mo wrapping at ’Squire Jones'door,
and twenty times l’vc been within a hair’s
breadth of popping the question. But
now I have made a final resolve.
MAGNANIMITY.
In 1702, Peter the Great having made
several ineffectual attempts on Noteburg,
a Swedish Fortress, uuw called Schlussrl-
bu'gli, sent Prince Galuzin, colonel of the
guards, at the head of a select corps, to
take it by storm. Tbnt’officer having by
incans of rafts landed his soldies, close to
the fortifications, which advance almost
to tlie edge of the w’ater, they were receiv
ed with such intrepidity by the garrison,
and exposed to such a dreadful carnage,
that Teter, .conceiving the assault to he
impracticable, sent imruediute orders for
the Russians to retire; Prince Galitziti,-
however, refused to obey: 44 Tell my
sovereign, (said he,) that I am no longer
his subject; having thrown myself under
the protection or f*ircr ■-ysi ~
himthen turning to tits troops, he a- ”
nimated them by his voice and example,
and lending them to the attack, scaled the
wnlls, nnd took the fortress. Peter was
so struck with this exploit, thnt, upomtiie
next interview with Galuzin, he said to
him, 4 Ask what you will except Moscow
and Catharine.’ The Prince ; with a
magnanimity which reflects the highest
honor upon his character, instantly re
quested tlie pardon of his ancient rival,
Prince Repnin, who had been degraded
by Peter from the rank of a marshal to
that of a common soldier. He obtain
ed his request, and with it the confis*
denco of his sovereign, the esteem of
Prince Repnin, and the applause of tlie
public. Few circumstances can givo
more pleasure to a generous mind thua
the contemplation of such exalted traits
of a great and noble spirit; and our plea
sure is heightened when we behold tho
descendants nf such persons enjoying all
the honors as well as virtues of their at*
castors.

Hope.—Cynics would fain teach us nets
Vcr to hope; and prudent, well-intentioned
advisers would try to undermind this bur
main support in life, by hinting that hope
is but the parent of disappointment. Yfey
however, think that hope and happiness
are also very nearly allied; although the
former may tell 44 a flattering tale,” it is ,
one to which it iff so agreeable to listen, that
we much doubt whether, if a regular debtor
nnd creditor account couldbe made out,the
balance would not rather be found in fa-'
vor of the number of hours spent in a-
S reeablb hope, than in those of painful
isuppointmenf. We therefore, advise all
young people to indulge in the dreams of
hope as long as they can; and should
they awake to disappointment in this
World, let them remember with pious hope,
that 44 Blessed are they that mourn,'for
they shall be comforted.”
