“An earthquake may be bid to spare
The man that’s strangled by a hair.”
JOHN AND JANE,
THE TWO ORPHANS.
ohn and Jane were the children of an Englishman. When they lived in England they were well off, and were well taught by their mother, who took much pains to lead them in the right way, and to teach them how they might be happy
here and hereafter. They lived in a pretty cottage near the sea shore, where they could sometimes hear the waves dash against the rocks in a storm. They played together, ate their meals together, sometimes sharing them with the cat; they often walked together, and frequently rode out with their father and mother.
