As streams cut deeper and the valley slopes are steepened, the mantle of waste of the region undergoing elevation is set in more rapid movement. It is now removed particle by particle faster than it forms. As the waste mantle thins, weathering attacks the rocks of the region more energetically until an equilibrium is reached again; the rocks waste rapidly and their waste is as rapidly removed.
Yet, in spite of the lack of damask roses in her cheeks, she seemed a healthy child, and certainly showed great capacity of energetic movement in the impulsive capers with which she welcomed her venerable progenitor. "Pansie, darling," said Dr.
With a scared movement she turned upon him, and for the first time since he had made his revelation, he saw her pale, alarmed, incredulous face in the full light of the fire. "I was wronged!" he said, sharply. "These people had defrauded me. I wanted what was justly mine." "Wanted?" The word formed itself almost inarticulately. "Yes; wanted. Wanted with all my might.
The works of even the smallest artists of that age enchant us now, because in that age any man of any talent could make a picture; but doubtless at the time critics and amateurs sighed for the first thrilling years of the movement for the discoveries of Masaccio and Donatello and were quite ready to welcome the novelties of the high renaissance when they came.
Garrard on seeing this movement of the enemy ordered a charge. Capt. Rankin's battalion was on the extreme right and Company E on the right of the battalion. Now for the charge. The order was given to forward, and as soon as we crossed a small stream, it was increased to full speed.

But the earth was moving under it, and as it rolled from west to east the plane running through the north and south poles was every instant changing.
The columns were not yet in proper order, but the needs so pressing to check the advance of the enemy, that a forward movement was ordered, and the lines formed up as the troops marched. The second moved forward on the left of the plank road, in support of a battery stationed there, and which was drawing a tremendous fire upon the troops on both sides of the road.
"His first movement was to push me away, but I clung to him all the harder; at which his whole manner changed and he began to make futile efforts to calm me and lead me away from the spot.
They would feel as if either that printed sheet or they themselves must be an unreality. What a mysterious awe, if the shriek of the railway-train, as it reaches the Warwick station, should ever so faintly invade their ears! Movement of any kind seems inconsistent with the stability of such an institution.
He flung to either side the man to right and left of him. He struck down, almost with the same movement, the man in front.

On him Basterga's coward weapon alighted without warning, and laid him low.
