True, he refrains from giving his street and number even tears the printed headings off the letter paper he employs; but that does not matter, as in a little village like New York a Texan with a hair-trigger temper has only to inquire of the first man he meets to be directed to the one he wants.
He never let me know anything about it, though; he says he thought I might be fidgety with thinking of the pros and cons. So I never knew a word on't till I had a letter from my Lord Hollingford where is it? pulling out a great black leathern receptacle for all manner of papers. And putting on his spectacles, he read aloud their headings.
For instance, the current expression, "an immoral man," is almost certain to apply only under the two headings cited above, and probably only under one. All other morals and immoralities go by the board. We should not class a dishonest man as an immoral man, nor an untruthful man, nor a profane, or spiteful, or ungenial, or bad-tempered, man.
Under all these headings, they have made personal enemies of the rascals who hold office; on all these grounds, they are struck down; what was once meritorious with them is now disgraceful.
In the eighth volume of the History by Nicolay and Hay there is a succession of chapters of which the headings alone tell the glad story of progress. These headings are: "Arkansas Free," "Louisiana Free," "Tennessee Free," "Maryland Free," and "Missouri Free." In August Admiral Farragut had captured Mobile.
"So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, Thou must, The youth replies, I can." "Saadi" was published in the "Atlantic Monthly" in 1864, "My Garden" in 1866, "Terminus" in 1867. In the same year these last poems with many others were collected in a small volume, entitled "May-Day, and Other Pieces." The general headings of these poems are as follows: May-Day.
The outer pages belong entirely to the old period, the only parts of the paper that had undergone alteration are the two middle leaves. Here we found set forth in a curious little four-column oblong of print, WHAT HAS HAPPENED. This cut across a column with scare headings beginning, "Great Naval Battle Now in Progress. The Fate of Two Empires in the Balance. Reported Loss of Two More "
The newspaper with the widest circulation must have the longest string of type and the blackest letters in its headings. Corkey works for that paper. "Give us your full story," demand his four saviors. The mascot stammers so that communication with him is restricted to his answers of yes and no. It is therefore Corkey's duty to the nation to tell all he has witnessed. He conceals nothing.
Conceptions of goodness and naughtiness must be very definite here, for when a teacher has to leave the class-room, she calls one of the children, who, during her absence, is charged to write the names of the "Good" and the "Naughty" in two columns on the blackboard under these headings.
Lewisham, as became the most promising student of the year, weighed the evidence comprehensively under headings. He dismissed the mediumistic séances as trickery. "Rot and imposture," said Smithers loudly, and with an oblique glance to see if his challenge reached its mark.
