Cui non dictus Hylas puer et Latonia Delos? That was no argument against telling it again, but rather for repeating it. So people look out in the newspapers for what they know rather than for what they do not know, and the better they know it the more interested they are to see it in print and, as a general rule, unless they get what they expect or think they know already they are angry.
This was Point Puer, the place of confinement for boys from eight to twenty years of age. It was astonishing many honest folks averred how ungrateful were these juvenile convicts for the goods the Government had provided for them. From the extremity of Long Bay, as the extension of the sea-arm was named, a convict-made tramroad ran due north, through the nearly impenetrable thicket to Norfolk Bay.
"I believe that Sally Dunkelberg is your friend," he said to me presently. "Yes, sir," I answered. "A fine slip of a girl that and a born scholar. I saw you look at her as the Persian looks at the rising sun." I blushed and Mary and her mother and the boy John looked at me and laughed. "Puer pulcherrime!" Mr. Hacket exclaimed with a kindly smile. Uncle Peabody would have called it a "stout snag."
Oh, the dreadful Old Man of the Sea, of the Sea! He's come back like the Wandering Jew! He has had his cold claw upon me, upon me, And be sure that he'll have it on you! 22,728 Five Hundred and Fifty-First St., New York, May 1, 1858. Dear Don Bobus, Pardon my abruptness.

You remember what old Hobbes says: "Homo malus, puer robustus"? There was more truth in it in his day than in ours. It's natural for a boy to be a good deal of a savage, but our civilisation is doing its best to change that. Why, not long ago the lad asked me whether fishing wasn't cruel. He evidently felt that it was, and so do I; but I couldn't say so.
He is a weel-grown, weel-favoured laddie, almost as much sae as our ain dear dog Steenie; but we wad say to him, in the words of the Roman bard, 'O formose puer, nimium ne crede colori! Gude pairts are better than gude looks; not that the latter are to be undervalued, but baith should exist in the same person.
