Preparations of Carthage The mighty enthusiasm, which is wont to blaze up nobly among Oriental nations, even the most abased, on the approach of extreme peril the energy of dire necessity impelled the Carthaginians to exertions, such as were by no means expected from a nation of shopkeepers.
The facts connected with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence must always be of profound interest. The public are inclined to think that our Magna Charta was accepted and signed with unbounded enthusiasm and that scarcely any opposition to it appeared, but the contrary was the fact.
The only reason for the flattering eulogy which the President bestowed on me at the end must have been the moving effect of my young voice together with the earnestness and variety of its efforts. But I must make the confession to-day that the opinion I voiced with such enthusiasm that evening was wrong. The art of vocal music has its own special functions and features.
The fact remains that Bastien-Lepage stands at the head of the modern movement in many ways. His friend, M. André Theuriet, has shown, in a brochure published some years ago, that he was himself as interesting as his pictures.

She felt full of hope that somehow in what way she could not say this auspicious beginning would end in a full fruition of all her wishes, an answer to all her prayers. "Well, child," said old Elsie, "you must have slept well; you look fresh as a lark." "The air of this holy place revives me," said Agnes, with enthusiasm. "I wish I could say as much," said Elsie.
Her delight in herself, her intensity over plans for herself, her enthusiasm for all the new "movements," reforms and ideas that she had heard of God-knows-where and felt she must gather into herself to expand herself it was wonderful!
