I s'pose there'll be a reglar hooroar in the morning, and Mr Reardon wanting to know who started the game." "And you'll tell him, Tom?" I said. "O' course, sir," he replied, with a solemn wink. "I'm just the man to go and split upon my messmates." "But you'll be punished if you don't tell.

Their ugly dark faces, their strange native dress, their harsh language, make on the stranger an impression not easily forgotten. Reliable figures are wanting as to the number of pure Mexican Indians.

Surely then I have no need to profess in words, I will not say my attachment, but my deep reverence towards the Mother of Saints, when I am showing it in action; yet that words may not be altogether wanting, I beg to lay before your Lordship the following extract from a defence of the English Church, which I wrote against a Roman controversialist in the course of the last year.

It is none the less its truest office because some very wretched verse seems often to do it. The logic of such a fact is not that the poet should try to achieve this truest office of his art by means of doggerel, but that he should study how and where and why the beauty and the truth he has made manifest are wanting in universal interest, in human appeal.

In the present day a process entirely analogous goes on under our own eyes in the transference of the methods of instruction from the dead to the living languages. But unfortunately the chief requisite for such a transference was wanting. The Stage under Greek Influence To this defect was added a second. We have already described the multiplication of the amusements of the Roman people.
