"Never was the land so energetically cultivated as in 1792, when the peasant had taken back from the landlord the soil which he had coveted so long," Michelet tells us speaking of the Great Revolution. Of course, before long, intensive culture would be within the reach of all. Improved machinery, chemical manures, and all such matters would soon be supplied by the Commune.

Heedman met his blue eyes gazing into hers with a thoughtful, inquiring sort of look. At last he said, "Mrs. Heedman, do you think it was God who put it into your heart to bring me here and be so kind to me?" "Yes, Charlie, I am sure of it." "Then I'm quite sure that God loves me," said Charlie, energetically.

Sombre formed a regiment of native troops, which, after they were well trained, he offered to the emperor. In the course of time, he so ingratiated himself with the emperor, that the latter presented him with a large property, and made him a prince. His wife is said to have supported him energetically in everything.

Nothing effectual could be done till the return of high-water, however, and daylight would enable us to see our position more clearly than at present. As soon as "Spell O!" was cried, my father and Mudge and I took our turn at the pumps, and worked away as energetically as any one, though we well knew that all our efforts might be in vain.

However, with the aid of some "powltices" constructed by Grandma Clay and energetically applied by Mrs Bray, and because my hour had not yet come, against the time when we slid into a splendid October I was tottering about once more. During my time of confinement the old valley had put on its finishing touches of spring glory.

I had taken hold of the tongs, and, brandishing them energetically, I replied to my commercial visitor: "Yes, my friend; but those dreams and a thousand others, joyous or tragic, are all summed up in one the Dream of Life; is your little yellow book able to give me the key to that?"

"I mean, that I canna live!" he replied, energetically, seizing the Bible with a spasmodic grasp closing it throwing it to the back of the bed then falling in an instant into a state of real dejection, with his arms folded over his breast, and his eyes cast down.

They will not," said Susan, energetically waving a saucepan with one hand and a soup ladle with the other, "be too proud to fight then." On a pale-yellow, windy evening in October Carl Meredith went away. He had enlisted on his eighteenth birthday. John Meredith saw him off with a set face. His two boys were gone there was only little Bruce left now.

In the famous De Freyne case, the parish priest energetically assisted the landlord in every way in his power, because the property was heavily mortgaged with Roman Catholic charges. These are two facts that occur to me on the spur of the moment, and probably other people could supply similar instances. As for the Episcopacy, it was the violence of Dr.

But now, when the whole Tuscan league, taking advantage of the confusion and the weakness of the Roman state after the expulsion of the Tarquins, renewed its attack more energetically than before under the king Lars Porsena of Clusium, it no longer encountered the wonted resistance. It seemed as if the union of Italy under Tuscan supremacy was not far distant.
