Σελίδα 122 - A LITTLE word in kindness spoken, A motion, or a tear, Has often healed the heart that's broken, And made a friend sincere. A word — a look — has crushed to earth Full many a budding flower, Which, had a smile but owned its birth, Would bless life's darkest hour. Then deem it not an idle thing A pleasant word to speak ; The face you wear, the thought you bring, A heart may heal or break.
Σελίδα 217 - Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As, to be hated, needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
Σελίδα 219 - A night of fretful passion may consume, All that thou hast of beauty's gentle bloom, And one distemper/d hour of sordid fear Print on thy brow the wrinkles of a year.
Σελίδα 183 - I've not a vulture's bill To pick at every flaw I see, And make it wider still. It is enough for me to know I've follies of my own, And on my heart the care bestow, And let my friends alone.

Σελίδα 233 - Be you trne to us, as you would hope for God's blessing on your life hereafter. Take this purse, Mr. Blonay — the gift is small, I know, but it will prove to you how grateful I am for what you have done for me, and be an earnest of what I shall give you for your continued fidelity.
Σελίδα 333 - ... the worst part of his character under the mask of hypocrisy. All he did was for the Church ; he was a man all conscience. To hold religion in the heart might be enough with ordinary men ; but Thornton was so pious, so zealous, so conscientious, that he had religion all over him: Religion possessed him from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, and made known her influence, even in the quivering of his little finger. And so tender were the pious man's feelings, it was confidently said,...
Σελίδα 315 - ... Frankland and DB Steinman. The latter designed the Florianopolis bridge in Brazil with a span of 1,114 feet which cost only $1,400,000. I do not know whether Mr. Douglas is interested in suspension bridges, but of course he could easily engineer one. I dp hope you will give the matter serious consideration and if I can be of any service to you I will feel greatly honored. Very sincerely yours, GEORGE OAKLET TOTTEN, Jr. Mr. TOTTEN. It is generally acknowledged that a suspension bridge is the most...

Σελίδα 158 - It was brought, and he took it in his hand, and was about raising it to his mouth — when a spirit hand suddenly appeared, took hold of the lower part of the glass, and disappeared with it under the table. We laughingly said that our unseen friends surely did not believe in the use of stimulants. To this they assented by emphatic raps, and at the same moment the glass slowly...
