But a few miles from the city here, and on the sloping banks of the stream noted more for its plenitude of "chubs" and "shiners" than the gamier two-and four-pound bass for which, in season, so many credulous anglers flock and lie in wait, stands a country residence, so convenient to the stream, and so inviting in its pleasant exterior and comfortable surroundings barn, dairy, and spring-house that the weary, sunburnt, and disheartened fisherman, out from the dusty town for a day of recreation, is often wont to seek its hospitality.
It is a roomy niche, shaped like a flattened ellipsoid, the length of which reaches eighty to a hundred millimetres. The barricade in question, a door which the larva builds to exclude the dangers from without, is two-and even three-fold.

The old man was overjoyed, and pulled out his money en masse; whereupon the huckster loaded him with our common library.

I should like to know who's to pay for 'em; I can't pay for 'em, and I'm sure you can't, if you go on as you do; throwing away your property, and beggaring your children buying umbrellas!
