Fish plays an important part in the domestic economy of dwellers within a reasonable distance of the sea, and forms a considerable item in the food-stuffs of the working classes. It is fairly cheap, and is cooked so as to get the full value of it. This, which Napier described as "the ordinary food of the Portuguese," is the backbone of the worker's menu.

Ippegoo was supremely happy, and his felicity, like that of most simple folk, reposed on a simple basis. It was merely this that Spring had returned to the Arctic regions. Spring! Ha! who among the dwellers in our favoured land has the faintest idea of of pooh! words are wanting.

From that deep shadow she came forth, bearing her cross of service to her kind, to live a life fragrant with the airs of Heaven, in fellowship with Him who, for love of man, daily gave Himself to die.

Those dwellers of hills, pierced with arrows, those denizens of mountain-caves, fled away in fear.

Now, though this displeased Huldbrand, he could not blame the old woman, for it was ever true that the maiden deserved reproof more often than she received it.

It was the sort of thing the young people of Aden dwellers in the various frame houses about the town, all sojourners from a common cause, somebody's health it was the sort of thing these young people got up about every other night in the year. Two mandolins, a violin, and a harp made music.

Therefore was it near to the heart of the holy prelate to solemnize this solemn day, which the Lord had appointed a day of joyfulness to the dwellers on earth and the dwellers in heaven, on the fair and spacious plain called Breagh, and there, by evangelizing the kingdom of God, and baptizing the people of his conversion, to gather together the elect race unto Christ.
