To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nothwithstanding this, Barnabas had never relaxed from his employment, nor ever, on leaving his home, had taken any thing beyond a few mouthfiik of bread or biscuit ; and, thus supplied, he performed his d by Google AND APOSTACY CONNECTED. 171 toil with comparative ease until eight o'clock, the hour appointed for breakfast. Such had been his unchanged habit, through all weathers, for years ; and while others, who worked with him, and had recourse to ardent spirits to warm and stimulate, felt th...eir strength fail, his continued firm and good. Happy, past expression happy, would it have been for Barnabas, and happy for his family too, had he continued in a course which he had long proved beneficial both to himself and them. But, alas ! in an evil hour, he tasted the poisonous drug, — and fell. The light and sunshine which the previous part of my narrative contains, must now be changed for darkness and gloom. Like as in the first instance of man*s dis- obedience, when Satan gained advantage over the hitherto happy pair, involving in calamity the whole of their future progeny, transforming the beauty and fruitfulness of the world to deformity and bareness, and hurling from the highest place of honour, and enjoyment, and life, the transgressors to disgrace, and misery, and death ; so now the fiend had triumphed again — his principal engine of ruin had been made to act, — moral worth was sapped, — happiness and peace were soon to be destroyed, and an ^oniable family ruined.
