Trang 1542 - Drawing the waxed-end through with a jerk, And boring the holes with a comical quirk Of his wise old head, and a knowing smirk. But vainly they mounted each other's backs, And poked through knot-holes and pried through cracks; With wood from the pile and straw from the stacks He plugged the knot-holes and...
Trang 1437 - I'm to polka as much as I please, And flirt when I like, — now stop, — don't you speak, — And you must not come here more than twice in the week, Or talk to me either at party or ball; But always be ready to come when I call : So don't prose to me about duty and stuff, — If we don't break this off, there will be time enough For that sort of thing; but the bargain must be, That as long as I choose I am perfectly free: For this is a sort of engagement, you see, Which is binding on you, but...
Trang 1549 - Is coarse brown paper, such as peddlers choose To wrap up wares which better men will use. Take next the miser's contrast, who destroys Health, fame and fortune in a round of joys. Will any paper match him ? Yes, throughout. He's a true sinking paper, past all doubt. The retail politician's anxious thought Deems this side always right, and that stark naught...
Trang 1544 - An' pay him fur tellin' us that yarn ! " " Agreed ! " Through the orchard they creep back Along by the fences, behind the stack, And one by one, through a hole in the wall, In under the dusty barn they crawl, Dressed in their Sunday garments all; And a very astonishing sight was that, When each in his cobwebbed coat and hat Came up through the floor like an ancient rat And there they hid; And Eeuben slid The fastenings back, and the door undid. " Keep dark ! " said he, " While I squint an' see what...
Trang 1547 - Tis a merry roar from the old barn door, And he hears the voice of Jotham crying, "Say, D'rius ! how do you like flyin' ?" Slowly, ruefully, where he lay, Darius just turned and looked that way, As he stanched his sorrowful nose with his cuff. "Wai, I like flyin' well enough," He said ; "but the' ain't sich a thunderin' sight O' fun in't when ye come to light.
Trang 1439 - Then that exquisite lilac, In which you would melt the heart of a Shylock," (Here the nose took again the same elevation) — "I wouldn't wear that for the whole of creation...
Trang 1624 - Scamperdale does not make me my lady, you may,' &c. There is an old saying, that it is well to be 'off with the old love before one is on with the new...
Trang 1613 - God's green earth" in such straitened circumstances for railroad facilities as to be likely to desire or willing to accept such a connection. I knew that neither Bayfield nor Superior City would have it, for they both indignantly spurned the munificence of the Government when coupled with such ignominious conditions, and let this very same land grant die on their hands years and years ago rather than submit to the degradation of a direct communication by railroad with the piny woods of the St.
Trang 1436 - M'Flimsey declares, the bulk of her cargo, Not to mention a quantity kept from the rest, Sufficient to fill the largest-sized chest, Which did not appear on the ship's manifest, But for which the ladies themselves manifested Such particular interest, that they invested Their own proper persons in layers and rows Of muslins, embroideries, worked under-clothes, Gloves, handkerchiefs, scarfs, and such trifles as those : Then, wrapped in great shawls, like Circassian beauties. Gave good-by to the ship,...
Trang 1618 - Gul in her bloom ; Where the citron and olive are fairest of fruit, And the voice of the nightingale never is mute; Where the tints of the earth and the hues of the sky, In color though varied, in beauty may vie...
