Robinson, for example, objected to it, as he was bound to do by the views of the civil magistrate's power which he maintained. He attributed the invention of such an article to the common inability of ignorant men to distinguish between the use of an ordinance and its abuse.
In almost all the other examples, the acts attributed to human agents are either morally blameless in themselves, or are manifestly exhibited in order to be condemned: but here, an element of injustice is inseparably mixed up with the prudence which is commended in the conduct of the steward.
The Indians believed these melons to have been conjured by the white doctor, and when other sickness came among them, they attributed it to the same cause. The massacre at Waülaptu and the murder of Whitman grew in part out of these events. Mr. Mann settled near the old Chief of the Cascades. He sought the Indian friendship of this chief, and asked him for his protection.
Even with this secondary and subordinate aim, the domain of the State is scarcely to be less restricted: very few new functions are to be attributed to it; nearly all the rest will be better fulfilled by independent persons, or by natural or voluntary associations.

A lover hangs himself at the gate of his obdurate darling who, in turn, is slain by a statue of Love. This poem is not attributed with much certainty to Theocritus, and is found in but a small proportion of manuscripts. A love-sick youth pined for an unkind love, beautiful in form, but fair no more in mood.
If the functions above attributed to the human frame could be shown really to belong to it, pure, not to say crass, materialism, would require no further proof.
Harley did his best, but his heroine was obdurate, and the poor fellow did not know that he was writing untruths, for he verily believed that he heard and saw all that he attributed to her exactly as he put it down. So the story began well, and Harley for a time was quite happy. At the end of a week, however, he had a fearful set-back.
