DEMERARA.

A Tale.

By HARRIET MARTINEAU.

---

‘Till now, ye have gone on and filled the time

With all licentious measure, making your wills

The scope of justice: till now, as many such

As slept within the shadow of your power,

Have wandered with their traversed arms, and breathed

Their sufferance vainly. Now the time is flush

When crouching marrow, in the bearer strong,

Cries of itself—NO MORE.’—Shakspeare.
