It was the lamp he wrote his philosophical dissertations by. Now, as never before, his strange name seemed to him a prophecy. We need a new government for a new century - humble enough not to try to solve all our problems for us, but strong enough to give us the tools to solve our problems for ourselves; a government that is smaller, lives within its means, and does more with less. "So what have you done with it?" "I've burned it.…

Such a boy is marked off from his companions by his piety, by the good example he shows to others. While we cannot solicit donations from people in states where we are not yet registered, we know of no prohibition against accepting donations from donors in these states who approach us with an offer to donate. While the authority of the Federal Government extends to but part of our vast system of national, State, and local justice, yet the standards which the Federal Government establishes have…

Davin rose from his box and went towards the players, shaking his head sadly. He walked onward, dismayed, wondering whether he had strayed into the quarter of the Jews. " "Oh!" said the lady; which, as our friend immediately left us again, was the only other word of importance contributed to the subject till, the next night, by the corner of the hearth, in the best chair, he opened the faded red cover of a thin old-fashioned gilt-edged album. "Do you mean of dislike?" "God help us,…

With foreign nations it will be my study to preserve peace and to cultivate friendship on fair and honorable terms, and in the adjustment of any differences that may exist or arise to exhibit the forbearance becoming a powerful nation rather than the sensibility belonging to a gallant people. "She's so horrible?" I saw my colleague scarce knew how to put it. Deeply impressed with the truth of these observations, and under the obligation of that solemn oath which I am about to take, I shall…

Wholesome meats to a vitiated stomach differ little or nothing from unwholesome; and best books to a naughty mind are not unappliable to occasions of evil. It is very gratifying to observe the general interest now being manifested in the reform of our election laws. First, is feared the infection that may spread; but then all human learning and controversy in religious points must remove out of the world, yea the Bible itself; for that ofttimes relates blasphemy not nicely, it describes the…

They sat together in class, knelt together in the chapel, talked together after beads over their lunches. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, urgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war - seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. You're an excitable bloody man, do you know. Rather do I believe that our Great Maker is preparing the world, in His own good time, to become…

The feelings excited by improper art are kinetic, desire or loathing. But he had been forewarned of the dangers of spiritual exaltation and did not allow himself to desist from even the least or lowliest devotion, striving also by constant mortification to undo the sinful past rather than to achieve a saintliness fraught with peril. "Ah, how CAN you?" "Because I'm clear. All the fellows would be at the mass, dressed in black, all with sad faces.…

--Why are you not writing like the others? --Imy He could not speak with fright. She brought me, for the instant, almost round. He walked onward, dismayed, wondering whether he had strayed into the quarter of the Jews. The hollow rattle of the wooden dumbbells was heard as another team made ready to go up on the stage: and in another moment the excited prefect was hustling the boys through the vestry like a flock of geese, flapping the wings of his soutane nervously and crying to the laggards…

Shame covered him wholly like fine glowing ashes falling continually. His arm was taken in a strong grip and Cranly's voice said: --Let us eke go. But if they be of those whom God hath fitted for the special use of these times with eminent and ample gifts, and those perhaps neither among the priests nor among the Pharisees, and we in the haste of a precipitant zeal shall make no distinction, but resolve to stop their mouths, because we fear they come with new and dangerous opinions, as we…

The Panama Canal will have a most important bearing upon the trade between the eastern and far western sections of our country, and will greatly increase the facilities for transportation between the eastern and the western seaboard, and may possibly revolutionize the transcontinental rates with respect to bulky merchandise.

I'M BLINDED! I'M BLINDED AND DROWNDED! He stopped in a fit of coughing and laughter, repeating: --I'M BLINDED ENTIRELY. It seemed to him that he stood in the midst of a great hall, dark and silent save for the ticking of a great clock. His mind, in the vesture of a doubting monk, stood often in shadow under the windows of that age, to hear the grave and mocking music of the lutenists or the frank laughter of waist-coateers until a laugh too low, a phrase, tarnished by time, of chambering and…

The preacher's knife had probed deeply into his disclosed conscience and he felt now that his soul was festering in sin. Your mother brings you into the world, carries you first in her body.

To him she would unveil her soul's shy nakedness, to one who was but schooled in the discharging of a formal rite rather than to him, a priest of the eternal imagination, transmuting the daily bread of experience into the radiant body of everliving life. Still another removal! A boy named Fallon in Belvedere had often asked him with a silly laugh why they moved so often. They allowed a handful of foreigners to subject them. He turned again to Stephen and said in a whisper: --Do you believe in…

The Irish fellows in Clark's gave them a feed last night. I shall presently urge upon a new Congress in special session detailed measures for their fulfillment, and I shall seek the immediate assistance of the several States. Courage and confidence have been restored. There was a lust of wandering in his feet that burned to set out for the ends of the earth.

The several forms of our paper money offer, in my judgment, a constant embarrassment to the Government and a safe balance in the Treasury. The Vances lived in number seven. Stewards in evening dress, old Belvedereans, loitered in groups about the entrance to the theatre and ushered in the visitors with Ceremony. Rody Kickham held the ball by its greasy lace.

Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time. "Ah, miss, it isn't a matter on which I can push her! Yet it isn't either, I must say, as if I much needed to. The lumps of knotted flock under his head reminded him of the lumps of knotted horsehair in the sofa of her parlour on which he used to sit, smiling or serious, asking himself why he had come, displeased with her and with himself, confounded by the print of the Sacred Heart above the untenanted sideboard. I can respect that invention of the…

Trudging along the road or standing in some grimy wayside public house his elders spoke constantly of the subjects nearer their hearts, of Irish politics, of Munster and of the legends of their own family, to all of which Stephen lent an avid ear. But for this there was no reason why the cotton-producing States should not have led or walked abreast with the New England States in the production of cotton fabrics. Grose literally well in hand in advance of my sounding that note; so that even now,…

Is it what you told me the night we were standing outside Harcourt Street station? --Yes, Stephen said, smiling in spite of himself at Cranly's way of remembering thoughts in connexion with places. Both the children had a gentleness (it was their only fault, and it never made Miles a muff) that kept them--how shall I express it?--almost impersonal and certainly quite unpunishable. Time is, time was, but time shall be no more! Time was to sin in secrecy, to indulge in that sloth and pride, to…

The child leaned her ringletted head against her mother's sleeve, gazing on the picture, and murmured as if fascinated: --The beautiful Mabel Hunter! As if fascinated, her eyes rested long upon those demurely taunting eyes and she murmured devotedly: --Isn't she an exquisite creature? And the boy who came in from the street, stamping crookedly under his stone of coal, heard her words. With the Indian tribes it is our duty to cultivate friendly relations and to act with kindness and liberality…
