Give me the good old cross-bow, after all, and none of these lumbering puff-and-bangs that knock you down oftener than your man! 'A cross stands in the forest still, And a cross in the churchyard grey: My curse on him who had his will, And on him who had his way! Good beginning, bad ending! 'Tisn't so always. "Many a cross has the cross-bow built," they say.
As for myself, I regard angling as one of the best of avocations, and although I have pursued it but little, I concede that doubtless had I practised it oftener I should have been a better man.
There are over thirty miles of good roads over the mountains and around Carlsbad, and as you climb upwards anon or even oftener you come to pretty little pavilions where you can rest and look off onto the delightful scenery, and every little while you'll come to a place where you can git good refreshments to refresh you.
His object is not only to represent single events, but a complete scene, and while we observe this characteristic in one or two pictures by the Bellini, Carpaccio not only shows it much oftener, but carries it to a much fuller development possibly influenced by the Netherlandish masters.

There were compensations for being "cut" which Mrs. Tramore too much neglected.

Of course she would be lonely in her own house, and is too young to stay there alone anyhow, but I'd like to put her up, and you certainly could run down week-ends possibly oftener.
