"The nature of the country, and a consideration of all the circumstances connected with the appearance of the river, justify me in entertaining a strong belief that the sources of the river will not be found in mountainous country, but rather that it flows from some lake, which will prove to be the receptacle of those interior streams crossed by me during an expedition of discovery in 1818."

"Buildings should be fitted to grace the sculpture, not the sculpture to grace the building." "Yes, when the work of art is good enough to merit it. Do you, Mr. Stanhope, do something sufficiently excellent and we ladies of Barchester will erect for it a fitting receptacle. Come, what shall the subject be?" "I'll put you in your pony chair, Mrs. Bold, as Dannecker put Ariadne on her lion.

The work of the insect can also be stopped by putting the beans in a barrel or other close receptacle, with a saucer containing about an ounce of carbon bi-sulfid to vaporize. Be careful not to approach the vapor with a light. After treatment for one-half hour, the cover can be removed and the vapor will entirely dissipate. This is a safer treatment than the heating.

Peter Goldthwaite was inserting a key into the lock. "O Tabitha!" cried he, with tremulous rapture, "how shall I endure the effulgence? The gold! the bright, bright gold!

Dear Cecil Cavendish, our gifted friend, slight of limb and soft of voice, has been rusticated for immersing four bricklayers in that green receptacle of stagnant water and duckweed, yeleped the "Haha." Roper, equally unlucky, has taken to reading for honors, and obtained a medal, I fancy, at least his friends shy him, and it must be something of that kind.

He abominated waste above all things, but there seemed no help for it, and, reaching into that receptacle that bore, down upon his aching shoulders like a glacier on a groundhog, he pulled out and tossed into the fence corner the educational works he had anticipated so much benefit from.

Margot had returned from America more enthusiastic, more engouée than ever. She had been as straw to the flame of American enthusiasm. All her individuality seemed to have been burnt out of her.
