Wealth is a steep hill, which the father climbs slowly and the son often tumbles down precipitately; but there is a table-land on a level with it, which may be found by those who do not lose their head in looking down from its sharply cloven summit. -Our dangerously rich men can make themselves hated, held as enemies of the race, or beloved and recognized as its benefactors.
Down this gorge the river tumbles in falls and rapids and the road picks its way down steeply, all banked and cut, and sometimes has to cross from side to side by a bridge, while the railway above one overcomes the sharp descent by running round into the heart of the hills through circular tunnels and coming out again far below the cavern where it plunged in.
"'Of course, I realize you are more familiar with horse racing than myself, he says; 'but I think you should have allowed him to do a little better. What method did you employ to make him remain so far in the rear? "'I tells the jock to pull him, I says. The boy was usin' the bat half the trip, but Elsy never tumbles. "'What do you say to a jockey when you desire him to lose? Elsy asks me.
This third storm, readers see, was "Sunday, August 12th:" a very busy stormful day at Torgau here, and also, for some others of us, during the heats of Kunersdorf, over the horizon far away! Wolfersdorf tumbles back all storms; furthermore makes mischievous sallies: a destructive, skilled person; altogether prompt, fertile in expedients; and evidently is not to be managed by Kleefeld.
Dorothy and Sarah could take even more active part, yet even the mature ages of eight and ten did not hinder surreptitious tumbles into heaped up feather beds, and a scurry through many a once forbidden corner of the Ipswich home. For them there was small hardship in the log house that received them, and unending delight in watching the progress of the new.
Every newspaper teems with projects for the amelioration of our working classes, and the land is full of farming societies, temperance unions, and a hundred other Peter Purcellisms, to improve its social condition; the charge to make us “Great, glorious, and free,” remaining with that estimable and irreproachable individual who tumbles in Lower Abbey-street.
Now, Otaheitan Sally, having gone rather cautiously about without catching any one except Charlie whom she pretends not to know, examines from head to foot, and then guesses wrong on purpose becomes suddenly wild, makes a desperate lunge, as she thinks, at Dan McCoy, and tumbles into Mrs Adams's lap, amid shouts of delight. Of course Dan brought about this incident by wise forethought.
"If I didn't, I guess I'd go off my chump." "Do you talk when you're drunk?" Laverick asked. "Never, sir," the man declared. "I've a way of getting a drop too much when I'm by myself. Then I tumbles off to sleep and that's the end of it. I've no fancy for company at such times." "It's a good thing," Laverick remarked, thrusting his hand into his pocket. "Here's a five-pound note on account.
My bag tumbles down upon the head of the unjust man in the corner. I am too sleepy to pick up the bag. It lies there on the floor. The unjust man uses it for a footstool.
On the left of the scene, where a cascade tumbles into it, is a pool of Canadian trout, maintained in the wonted chill of their native waters by an ice-making plant under the scenery. Canada hopes to draw wealthy sportsmen and vacationists, who will then see for themselves the opportunities for investment. Some of her largest enterprises have begun thus.
