Feeling her desolation, wild, melancholy, forsaken songs rose thereon from that frightful aerie, weeping, wailing tunes, that sob among the people from age to age, and overflow with otherwise unexpressed sadness, all rude, mournful ballads, old tearful strains, that Shakspeare heard the vagrants sing, and that rise and fall like the wind and tide, sailor-songs, to be heard only in lone mid-watches beneath the moon and stars, ghastly rhyming romances, such as that famous one of the "Lady Margaret," when
How those on the eastern bank believe that the order can only be preserved by marriage, while those on the western bank, the traditionalists up there on that rock in that aerie, would rather the order died than that any change should be made in the rule of life. In answer to a question from Paul he said he did not believe that the order would survive the schism.
His brow was wrinkled with the intensity of his thought; and over his face, where now a disguising beard was beginning to be visible, the light of the sinking sun cast as it were a kind of glowing radiance. At last the man looked up, and smiled, and eyed the golden mountain-tops far off across the valley. "Wonderful aerie in the hills!" he murmured.
He stood, looking over very gloomily at Cunningham, making a dozen wild plans for getting rid of Miss McClean by no means forgetting poison and the height of Alwa's aerie from the plain below! He would have been considerably calmer, could he have heard what Cunningham and Miss McClean were saying.
What a contrast presents itself when we compare the famous flag of the army of Italy, which the youthful conqueror, Bonaparte, carried to the Directory, with those drooping eagles who had now to defend the aerie whence they had so often taken flight to spread their triumphant wings over Europe!

There is a hedge of pomegranate, with its flame-like flowers, which seem to be filled with light. The pepper-tree abounds in Santa Barbara, and the eucalyptus is being planted a good deal. It has a special power to absorb malaria from the air, and makes unhealthy places wholesome. Our Aerie. The Bay and the Hills. The Little Gnome. Earthquake. Temporary Residents. The Trade-Wind. Seal-Rocks.
"Not a doubt of it," answered the Professor, "not only in America, but all over Christendom." Dr. Jones and Will now returned from their aerie, the observatory. "Whew!" exclaimed the Doctor; "if that isn't exercise for you!" "What is the temperature now?" asked the Professor. "One hundred and thirty degrees," replied Will. "It has cooled off a few degrees."
The snow in the neighborhood of this aerie was pitted with the shell that had been aimed so often and had failed to reach this spot, and the men thus perilously clinging to an extreme peak of bare rock up in the skies were clinging there subject to all the perils of war added to the common perils of the feat they had accomplished.
A great peace seemed to emanate from those aerie ruins, and a deep silence reigned there. The dinners given by the old priest, to which several of the notabilities of the neighborhood were invited, always lasted very long. The ten or fifteen courses had an accompaniment of the ripest fruits and the choicest wines of that country so excelling in exquisite vintages.
If he caught one pointing for his aerie, he would block the way and bid her sternly begone. She seldom tarried long, for Barney was not a pleasing object when he was in an ugly mood.
