He says gleefully, "I told you so." That he can ever be wrong is inconceivable to him. He knows the facts since he can readily manufacture them himself. He is self-satisfied, for in his own opinion he has never lost an argument. He is a brave and bold talker. These, then, are some types of talking which we should not emulate.

A true patriot is no lavish promiser: he undertakes not to shorten parliaments; to repeal laws; or to change the mode of representation, transmitted by our ancestors; he knows that futurity is not in his power, and that all times are not alike favourable to change. Much less does he make a vague and indefinite promise of obeying the mandates of his constituents.

He sha'n't before Marcia knows this story!" Marion looked a little embarrassed, and certainly disapproving. "He has very warm friends down here," she said, slowly; "people who admire him enormously." "So had Torquemada!" cried Coryston. "What does that prove? Look here!" he put both elbows on the table, and looked sharply into Marion's plain and troubled countenance "don't you agree with me?"

"And indeed, Father," added Ysidro, "you will be far better lodged and fed than in the house of Lomax. My cousin's wife knows well how all should be done." "Alessandro! Alessandro!" said the Father, musingly. "Has he been long married?" "No, Father," answered Ysidro. "But little more than two years. They were married by you, on their way from Temecula here." "Ay, ay.

"He will be very tired. Don't tell him yet, Terry. He hardly knows Stella. You are very young. It will have to be something of a long engagement." "Oh!" he said, but less disappointedly than she had feared, "You too! Mrs. Comerford said we must wait. I don't want to wait. I want to shout out to the whole world that Stella is mine, but, of course, I know. Father would rather have had Eileen.

"He thought it better to choose the man who is esteemed than the man who is merely liked." "I don't know whether the Pope esteems me, but I am sure he knows I don't esteem him. I both liked and esteemed him before he was pope, and I concurred in his election, but since he has worn the tiara it's a different matter; he has shewn himself too much of a 'coglione'."

It was a lying tree for we know nothing; At least, it promised knowledge at the price Of death but knowledge still; but, what knows man? A more modern poet answers, after beating at the same iron gates, "Behold, we know not anything." The most beautiful remaining passage is Cain's reply to the question what is more beautiful to him than all that he has seen in the "unimaginable ether"?

'Already I can hardly bear my impatience when I think of the boundless country and the enchanting freedom. Here one grows so small, so mean; but in Africa everything is built to a nobler standard. There the man is really a man. There one knows what are will and strength and courage.

Papa knows that without adventure you make no discoveries. But, wow! he did make a monkey of me. Just think of a floor-walker making a monkey of papa!" He pressed his hand to his brow. "Why, a floor-walker has been my especial delicacy he has been my appetizer, my white-meat but, wow! this fellow was a gristle." "Mr. Flummers," said McGlenn, "we all love you." "Say, John, I owe you two dollars."

Nay, he can be more cunning with the demands of the time. We are clever: he will be cleverer. Why should he dress and not speak like an angel of light? Why should he not give good advice if that will help to withdraw people by degrees from regarding the source of all good? He knows well enough that good advice goes for little, but that what fills the heart and mind goes for much.
