A house, I take it, is a retreat to which a man hurries from business, and in which he is compensated by the tenderness and thoughtful regard of a woman, and the play of his children, for the rough rubs with men. I know it is a silly view of the case, but I'm getting old and can't help it. Mrs. Potiphar is perfectly right when she says: "You men are intolerable.

"You speak English," said the commissionaire. "Why! good God! do you?" asked Mr. P., with astonishment. "I speaks every languages, sare," replied the other, "and we will use the English, if you please. But Monsieur speaks tres bien the French language." "Are you speaking English now?" asked Mr. Potiphar. The commissionaire answered him that he was, and Mr.

He knew none of them personally, I believe, except de Colique and Mount Ague, but then it was so agreeable to be able to know their liveries. Now why shouldn't we have the same arrangement? Why not have the Smith colors, and the Brown colors, and the Black colors, and the Potiphar colors, etc., so that the people might say, "Ah! there goes the Potiphar arms." There is one difficulty, Mr.

I should think with his experience he would be hard upon us, but he is not. The air of courts does not seem to have spoiled him. "My dear madam," he said one evening to Mrs. Potiphar, "if you laugh at anything, your laughing is laughed at next day. Life is short. If you can't see the jewel in the toad's head, still believe in it. Take it for granted.

From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's household for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had in the house and in the field. Potiphar left all that he had in Joseph's charge, and he knew nothing about his affairs except about the food which he ate. And Joseph was handsome and attractive.

But, when Jacopo had made two of them, in one of which is the scene when the death of Joseph is announced to Jacob and the bloody garments are shown to him, and in the other the Flight of Joseph from the wife of Potiphar, leaving his garment behind, they did not please either the Duke or those masters who had to put them into execution, for they appeared to them to be strange things and not likely to be successful when executed in woven tapestries.

Let me direct your attention to four thoughts regarding this surrender to Christ: First, its motives; second, its measures; third, its blessedness; lastly, its duration. First of all, its motives. What moved Potiphar to do this? I think the answer is very easy: he was a trusted servant of the king and he had the king's work to take care of, and he very likely could not take care of his own house.

Mr. Boosey looked puzzled; but Mr. Potiphar broke in: "Well, Mrs. Gnu, I'm glad to see you smile at last. After all, the remark of the Ambassador's was only what they would call in France, 'a perfect bougie of a joke." "Good evening, Mrs. Potiphar," cried the Sennaar Minister, rising suddenly, and running toward the door.

Look at your own grandfather, dear Mrs. Potiphar, fine old gentleman, I am told, rather kept in what the artists call the middle-distance, at present, a capital shoemaker, who did his work well Alexander and John Howard did no more: well here you are, you see, with liveries and a pew in the right church, and altogether a front seat in the universe merry-go-round, you know; here we go up, up, up; here we go down, down, down, etc.

And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's and captain of the guard. GENESIS xxxvii. 23-36. We have left the serene and lofty atmosphere of communion and saintship far above us. This narrative takes us down into foul depths. It is a hideous story of vulgar hatred and cruelty.
