In the first place, the men must keep themselves as clean as water will make them dirt is a great helper of cold and the water must be just as frosty as human natur' can bear it. This will set everything into actyve movement inside, and bring out warmth from the heart, as it might be. That's my principle of keeping warm, Captain Gar'ner."

You have done your duty in life; and when a man does that, he may start on the longest journey with a light heart and an actyve foot." "I hope so, my friend: I've tried to do my duty."

"Wal, that's the very best thing that you could do. You're both young, an actyve. As for me, my days of youth an actyvity air over, an I'm in the sere an yaller leaf, with spells o' rheumatics. So you start off as quick as your legs can carry you, an ef you run all the way, so much the better."

Clouds are bad enough in the weather, but when they come to the reason, it gets to be serious. Now, sit down by me here, and let us calculate our movements a little, for we shall soon either have a truce and a peace, or we shall come to an actyve and bloody war.

Ben WOULD say acTYVE, and SARtain, though he was above saying creatoore, or creatur'. This is the difference between a Pennsylvanian and a Yankee.

"Little do they think, as they undermine that comb, how near they are to the undermining of their own hive! But so it is with us all! When we think we are in the highest prosperity we may be nearest to a fall, and when we are poorest and hum-blest, we may be about to be exalted. I often think of these things, out here in the wilderness, when I'm alone, and my thoughts are acTYVE."

He smiled, muttered between his teeth, and then looking up proudly, he said "Mingo, like all who are young and actyve, I've been known by different names, at different times.

I've always give the poorest hunters half a share, but one as actyve and sartain as yourself might expect a full one." "Thank'ee, Hurry; thank'ee, with all my heart but I do a little beavering for myself as occasions offer.
