Russell Sage at Sag Harbor, Long Island, has expended many thousands of dollars in the experiment. Interested in the children, of whom there are about eight hundred in the town, through the experience of giving them a Christmas tree, she determined to devote to their use a piece of land on the borders of the village, formerly used as a fair ground.
It was such an inimitably natural way of showing off, that we all stopped to admire the acting, and, though he had left us previously in the lurch, we all liked Shobo, a fine specimen of that wonderful people, the Bushmen. Next day we came to a village of Banajoa, a tribe which extends far to the eastward. They were living on the borders of a marsh in which the Mahabe terminates.
Whatever life and motion there might have been in the basement, were sheltered from observation by conical firs or square-clipped box borders, set out on strictly geometrical principles in each of the four front yards. The doors were ponderous and tight fitting, as if they were never meant to be opened; and the vivid polish of their surfaces showed no trace of human handling.
'In a year or two it will have drifted back to the original wilderness, to briar and weed, he said to himself; and he dwelt on his love of this tiny plot of ground, with a wide path running down the centre, flower borders on each side, and a narrow path round the garden beside the hedge. The potato ridges, and the runners, and the cabbages came in the middle.
Jupiter, owing to his great mass and his commanding situation in the system, is the chief ``comet-catcher; but he catches them not for himself, but for the sun.

That these intermarriages had in some degree mitigated the rough, manly stock of the first Grünewalds, was an opinion widely held within the borders of the principality.
Now, look here, am I to go straight to the doctor and tell him!" "No, no, pray don't," whispered Dexter, catching her arm. "Well, then, I must tell Miss Helen." "No, no, not this time," cried Dexter imploringly; and his tone softened the old lady, who shook the borders of her cap at him. "Well, I don't know what to say," said Mrs Millett softly. "They certainly ought to know."
Here they were within sight of the city they were going to, also here met them some of the inhabitants thereof; for in this land the Shining Ones commonly walked, because it was upon the borders of Heaven. Here they heard voices from out of the city, loud voices, saying, "Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh! Behold, His reward is with Him!"
He supplied it with fresh meat and dwelt in a small wigwam, about six miles distant from the fort, on the borders of a little lake little at least for that region, but measuring somewhat over three miles in diameter. He also, for his own advantage and recreation, carried on the business of a trapper, and had that winter supplied many a silver fox and marten to the fur-stores at Wichikagan.
The woodman and hunter shall be your sextons, and the children shall tread upon the borders as much as they will. Let us walk in the cemetery of the leaves, this is your true Greenwood Cemetery. But think not that the splendor of the year is over; for as one leaf does not make a summer, neither does one fallen leaf make an autumn.
