And yet we live under a government of uniform laws, and under a Constitution too, which contains an express provision, as it happens, that all duties shall be equal in all the States. Does not this approach absurdity? If there be no power to settle such questions, independent of either of the States, is not the whole Union a rope of sand?
Accustomed as he had been in boyhood to a solitary life in beautiful scenery, there was something in a fine landscape that was to him like a friend and companion; and he sometimes felt that it would have been worse if he had been in a dull, uniform country, instead of among mountain peaks and broad wooded valleys.
"Thank God thank God!" said Uncle Bisco, and he would feel of his young master and say: "Jes' lak he allus wus, only his hair is a leetle gray. An' in the same uniform he rid off in the same gran' clothes." Captain Tom laughed: "No, not the same, but like them. You see, I reported at Washington and explained it to the Secretary of War, Jack.

The wind continued to blow with unabated fury, and when day broke and we were able to look about us, the scene was grand and awful beyond all power of description.

He always wears a conspicuous uniform; he can always be found when he is wanted, for he sticks closely to his post at the front door; he is as polite as a duke; he speaks from four to ten languages; he is your surest help and refuge in time of trouble or perplexity.
She was just a bit uneasy before Hedwig those days. She did not like the look in her eyes. That afternoon, attired in his uniform of the Guards, the Crown Prince received the delegation of citizens in the great audience, chamber of the Palace, a solitary little figure, standing on the red carpet before the dais at the end.
Germans are well aware of the awful number of brutal crimes which their men-folk commit year by year at home. Yet they are absolutely convinced that these same men are immediately transformed into chivalrous knights so soon as they don the Kaiser's uniform.
Too tired to stand longer, he sits down on the shafts of a cart, and tries not to think. It is not difficult. Body and mind are alike worn out, and his brain seems filled with uniform dull mist. A shop-door opens in front of him; a boy comes out. He sees bottles inside, and shelves, the look of which he knows too well. The bottle-boy, whistling, begins to take the shutters down.
The dressing-table and wardrobe of the opposite chamber that occupied by Colonel and Mrs. Brent had been ransacked. The colonel's watch and chain, too bulky, he said, to be worn at dinner in white uniform, his Loyal Legion and Army of the Potomac insignia, and some prized though not expensive trinkets of his good wife were gone.
