2. it was formerly the custom in our village, when a poor debtor came out of jail, for his acquaintances to salute him, looking through their fingers, which were crossed to represent the grating of a jail window, "how do ye do? "

3. i have never declined paying the highway tax, because i am as desirous of being a good neighbor as i am of being a bad subject; and as for supporting schools, i am doing my part to educate my fellow-countrymen now.

4. if others pay the tax which is demanded of me, from a sympathy with the state, they do but what they have already done in their own case, or rather they abet injustice to a greater extent than the state requires.

5. i asked him in my turn how he came there, presuming him to be an honest man, of course; and, as the world goes, i believe he was.
