"The physicians sat with folded hands and wept, because the blow seemed too heavy for my father to bear the thought that I was going to die without any assurance that I trusted in my Saviour! "'It cannot be, he said, 'I will wrestle with my God until He hears me! Sunday came. In almost every church a special prayer was offered for my recovery.
Under the great pressure, Jackson was at length forced back. One of General Sumner's divisions drove the right of the Confederates beyond the Hagerstown road, and, at this moment the long struggle seemed ended; the great wrestle in which the adversaries had so long staggered to and fro, advancing and retreating in turn, seemed at last virtually decided in favor of the Federal arms.
I give you this prize though you cannot win one; you can now neither wrestle nor fight, and cannot enter for the javelin-match nor foot-races, for the hand of age has been laid heavily upon you."
" Or more! " He would still be tender " " But he might grow outwardly hard!" Both ladies looked up at Dr. Middleton, as they revealed the dreadful prospect. "It is the story told of corns!" he said, sad as they. The three stood drooping: the ladies with an attempt to digest his remark; the Rev. Doctor in dejection lest his gallantry should no longer continue to wrestle with his good sense.
Painful as it was to confront Nora's brother, and wrestle in public against all the secret memories that knit the strife of the present contest with the anguish that recalled the first, still the thing must be done; and it was the English habit of his life to face with courage whatever he had to do.

As I have to wrestle with it every night, after my first sleep is over, I cannot call it a phantom of my imagination. There is no escape even for me till its debt is paid. Into the hands of that spirit, therefore, let me make restitution. Goddess! From you, alone, of all the world, I shall not be able to take away anything. I shall not be rid of you till I am destitute. Take these back!"
Arnold's admiration of his friend was the solidly-founded admiration of many years; admiration for a man who could row, box, wrestle, jump above all, who could swim as few other men could perform those exercises in contemporary England. But that answer shook his faith. Only for the moment unhappily for Arnold, only for the moment. "You know best," he returned, a little coldly. "What can I do?"
Her foot, she does not force it into a misfit shoe; nor does she wear a corset to squeeze her frame in two. That frame has got upon it no clothes she does not need; she wears no bughouse bonnet that makes man's bosom bleed. This maid, this weaker vessel, has movements swift and free, and she can run and wrestle, and she can climb a tree.
He had already passed through a wrestle of the same kind, and had gone away to fight down temptation. To-night the struggle was harder. The waves of rising passion broke through him. "Little pale, angry face! I gave her a scolding like a child what joy to have forgiven her like a child! to have asked her pardon in return to have felt the soft head against my breast.
