His work on the junior left wing had gained the commendation of a celebrated international; and Kerry, who had interviewed the gymnasium instructor, had learned that Dan Junior bade fair to become an amateur boxer of distinction. "He is faster on his feet than any boy I ever handled," the expert had declared.

"That's the history," sez he; "but if it's just the same to you, I'd rather you didn't work up much of a story about the way I've handled this town since you saved that car." "Do you really think 'at I saved your life?" sez I. "Why," sez he, "if that wagon had ever hit the car the' wouldn't 'a' been anything left but my teeth to identify me by, an' I ain't never had one filled yet."

Jones, nearly four miles away from the little town in which he lived, where he entered upon his day's work, resolved that, henceforth, he would be a reformed man. At first he was nervous, from want of his accustomed stimulus, and handled his tools awkwardly. But after awhile, as the blood began to circulate more freely, the tone of his system came up to a healthier action.

Rather to the surprise of the spectators, he took the weapon, turned it over curiously in his hands, for it was the first German rifle he had handled, examined the mechanism of the lock, then raised his eyes to the motionless figure of the French sergeant. "Pierre smiled and a new light sprang into his eyes. "'Well? demanded the captain impatiently. 'Do you shoot or do you die?

One of the most interesting chapters in Rabelais's 'Pantagruel' is devoted to the theme." Spero was not in the humor for any literary discussion, and so he firmly said: "If Rabelais handled this theme, he did it undoubtedly in a more worthy way than I could possibly have done."

With care they may be handled without injury, though at first glance it would seem impossible to avoid the numerous weapons.

"She is everything, everything that a woman should be. Amiable, charitable, beautiful, talented, intellectual." He paused and threw out his arms with an appealing gesture. "I can't understand why you don't see it, Roger, why you can't see her as I see her." I was beginning to realize that the situation was one to be handled with discretion.

Taking his medicine sack, he took out some small war-clubs of black stone, and told the young men to run through the other side of the lodge. As he handled the clubs they became an enormous size, and the old man stepped out as the bear reached the door. He struck the beast with one of his clubs, which broke in pieces, and the bear stumbled.

These things being supposed about the Bible would certainly make it appear that, if any man deems it his duty to lessen its standing in the eyes of the community, he ought at least to do so in a cautious and reverential spirit, with humility and prayer. My objection to the mode in which these things are handled in the "Liberator" is that the general tone and spirit seem to me the reverse of this.
