I shrank back from the casement with a sickening sensation at the heart, a reeling of the brain, and a faintness coming over me; for horror was succeeding upon horror with a frightful rapidity and with an almost overwhelming force. Good heavens! this was in some sense a kindred se. quence to the appalling incidents of ...
The woman seemed uneasy until I explained that we were travellers and had lost our way and been wandering in the woods all night. She became talkative, then, and asked if we had heard of the terrible goings-on at the manor house of Abblasoure. "Sell us the house and take yourselves away, for we be perilous company, be...
Yet not the less must we be glad And grateful, in this latter day, To Him who made our Mariners glad, And smooth’d for them their dangerous way. For commerce binds the lands in peace, And links the nations great and small, And, profit-ploughing, bids increase The harvest, which supports them all.

The story of Cupid and Psyche-the splendid fables of old mythology-the gorgeous habiliments of the Arabian Nights, all pale "their ineffectual fires" before the glories thus indicated to our mundane eyes.

As regards the New Jersey suits, we stated last month that the Crown Co. were trying to compel the dentists sued to bring their books into court and have an examination of them before a master in chancery.

Now, do you think that if we put these three petitions, and their diverse answers together, and look especially at this last one, where the natural wish was refused, we ought to be able to learn some lessons? Think of him, half an hour before, a raging maniac; now all at once conscious of a strange new sanity and calm...

The next morning Willie's teacher noticed that her pupil was very quiet and disinclined to talk, so she left her to herself for a little while. By and by Willie called her to see what she had made with her blocks. There were the two houses, the one at Throckmorton, the other at the ranch, the latter divided into two r...
I shall not, at present, argue the great question of the portability or transmissibility of cholera by means only of human intercourse. The proposition is one, as it seems to me, as capable of demonstration as any in the whole range of etiological science; and the opposite one, of a general atmospheric impregnation, or...

It may be said without disparagement to the system, that unless there had been an innate religious feeling in the greater part of the boys, which there certainly was in those years,—a rather plentiful crop of indifference would have gone forth into the world,—if nothing worse.

The rebellion pulled down with it a famous old institution, the government of the East India Company. Before the mutiny had been entirely crushed, the rule of "John Company" came to an end. The administration of India had, indeed, long ceased to be under the control of the Com pany as it was in the days of Warren Hasti...
What is this educational idea'? Certainly, it must be international. It must imply some motive lying outside and beyond ourselves.

High and broken ground rises on each side of that path which so many trod never to return, and which was now thronged by mounted men pouring down to Balaclava. A mile distant on our left, we passed the hamlet of Karani, and on our right the long line of defence works and redoubts, which lay two miles in rear of Khutor ...
Bound by the curse of ancient feud to Rome, he had never ceased to cherish an inextinguishable hatred to the Roman power. Deserted by the nobles, insulted by the populace, he yet contrived so to harass Tiberius, and to keep him in such constant alarm, that the emperor was glad at last to seek peace from his rebellious...

Najm had said that the Dead Sea was visible from any slight elevation in this neighbourhood, so Peacocke and I climbed one of the low hills to the west, in the hope of seeing it. Whether it is possible to do so I cannot say, as there was a good deal of haze in the northern distance, but although I could not see the Dea...

RELIGION. The religion of the pre-Aryan inhabitants of Britain was a nature-worship which included certain animals among its divinities. The Celtic religious system was likewise a nature-cult, but resembled that of the Greeks, Latins, and other Aryans in deifying abstract ideas rather than material objects. Hence the g...
The question respecting the liberty of the human will has been discussed in nearly the same manner as the ideal philosophy. The leading features of both controversies are essentially the same. The notion of free agency is, I conceive, like our idea of material existence-a general suggestion of nature; but at the same t...
