203 Mr. Gisbome, indeed, might have counted on some of its prizes, for his social position was high. But it .was only after many years of service that he was re- warded with a canonry in Durham. As, however, promotion was noways his object, he was not dia- composed. He took life cheerfully, and bore himself with thankful energy. His desire was to do good — to write the lessons of truth in the hearts of a simple people. In this labour he was successful; and he did his work not so much from a sen...timent of duty (that stage of feeling had long passed), but from pleasure. His work was his delight. He loved to pass in it every day and all the day. He went to it with a will, and he worked ia it heart and soul. Happily married, he had found a partner of con- genial tastes ; and the delight of both was to make others as happy as themselves. Wherever there was trouble or sickness, there they were to be found ; and in the forest as in the city, there is no want of sorrow. ^There was not a cottage in the neighbouring hamlet, nor a hut withiu the glades or on the edge of the Forest, which was not known to them.
