Under this system the heat of which we are sensible is as the gentle Zephyr to rude Boreas or the biting eastern winds. If we go into a kiln of brickwork, such as is employed in firing clay goods, after the charge has been removed and all fumes and odours have disappeared, we shall note the soft and balmy nature of the heat that radiates directly from the walls and vaulting.
During the mysterious trip from the island of Elba to France, on the 27th of February, on the open sea, the French brig of war, Le Zephyr, having encountered the brig L'Inconstant, on which Napoleon was concealed, and having asked the news of Napoleon from L'Inconstant, the Emperor, who still wore in his hat the white and amaranthine cockade sown with bees, which he had adopted at the isle of Elba, laughingly seized the speaking-trumpet, and answered for himself, "The Emperor is well."
Sligo Moultrie before her marriage. The elegant youth of the town gradually fell off from frequenting Abel's rooms, for he always proposed cards, and the stakes were enormous; which was a depressing circumstance to young gentlemen who mainly depended upon the paternal purse.

"Stupid?" asked the lady, this time making the interrogation in the antistrophe of the chant. "We wanted a little fun." "A little fun." "Fun," replied the gentlemen. "Well, I'm going about my business," said she. "Good-morning." "About your business?" "Your business?" "Business?" murmured the youths, in order. Zephyr concluding.
Here he pulled off his hat, which he had not before removed, and let the breeze for there was unquestionably a breeze, even on this afternoon of a day which had been one of the hottest the country had known drift refreshingly against his damp brow. The zephyr was strong enough even to lift slightly the thick locks of black hair which lay above the white forehead.
Unmoved and undaunted, that marble man, livid as a spectre, his dark eyes blazing, his thin and writhing lip flecked with foam, his tall form swaying to and fro, rising, bending now thrown back, then leaning over the marble bar of the tribune continued to pour forth his scathing sarcasm, his crushing invective, his eloquent persuasion and his unanswerable argument in tones, now soft and tuneful as a silvery bell, then sad and pitiful as an evening zephyr, then clear, high and sonorous as a clarion, then hoarse and deep as the thunder, for a period of four hours, unbroken and continuous, without stop or stay.
Though your house trembles in all its timbers and shakes upon its keel, you think yourself a sailor cradled by a zephyr. You alone have the right to bring these joys to an end by throwing away your night-cap as you twist up your napkin after dinner, and by sitting up in bed. Then you take yourself to task with such reproaches as these: "Ah, mercy on me, I must get up!"

"Ay, ay!" replied several, quietly. "Do you think we shall win, Frank?" asked Charles, who had put the same question a dozen times before. "We must think that we shall," replied Frank, with a smile. "Here comes the Butterfly. Now, give her three cheers. One!" "Hurrah!" "Two!" "Hurrah!" "Three!" "Hurrah!" This compliment was promptly returned by the Butterfly, as she came alongside the Zephyr.
It is morning here in Kansas, and the breakfast bell is rung! We are not yet fairly started on the work we mean to do; We have all the day before us, and the morning is but young, And there's hope in every zephyr, and the skies are bright and blue.
