"I am glad to find the son of my old friend is not a slave to his appetites, as are most of the young men of this generation." With this they approached the board; and, a lengthy grace being pronounced by Hugh Calveley, Jocelyn sat down by the side of Aveline, scarcely able to believe in the reality of his own happiness so like a dream it seemed. A rash promise.
Great as would be the initial expense, the rapid reduction in the number of idiots, epileptics, etc, would in a generation or two counterbalance it and greatly diminish the problem.
The next generation will hardly understand how great were some of the lately-vanished kings and queens of the lyric drama.

Emil Gluck was proved in February to be an innocent man, yet he was not released until the following October.
Two centuries later and still more recently in our own day and generation what heart has not thrilled with sympathy and with pride at the story of the magnificent exploits, the heroism, the contempt of danger and of suffering which have characterized the great navigators whose names are so familiar to the world; especially the arctic explorers of England and of our own country?
We have certainly made great progress in this country, within the last twenty years; but whether it has been in a direction towards the summit of human perfection, or one downward towards the destruction of all principles, the next generation will probably be better able to say than this. Even the government is getting to be gossipian.
