A table held a number of outspread maps and three books the Bible, a dictionary, and Napoleon's "Maxims." General Jackson was seated on a small, rush-bottomed chair beside the table. By the window stood a soldier in nondescript grey attire, much the worse for mud and brambles. "Captain Cleave," said the general, "were you ever on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal?" "No, sir."
Waugh, addressing himself to Williams, who was much the youngest of the nine, said, "Go, my dear young brother, and if your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth, let it be with telling poor sinners the love of JESUS CHRIST; and if your arms drop from their shoulders, let it be with knocking at men's hearts to gain admittance for Him there."
In the night, in his mother's chamber Cleave waked from three hours of dreamless sleep. She stood beside him. "My poor, dead man, I hated to keep my word." He smiled. "It would have been as hard to wake up at the end of a week! Mother, I am so dirty!" "The servants have brought you plenty of hot water, and we have done the best we could with your uniform.
I will ask you to recall to mind the evening of the seventeenth of last April." "Well, I have done so. It is not difficult." "No. It would, I imagine, come readily. Upon that evening, Maury Stafford, you lied to me." "Don't!" said Cleave. "Why should you make it worse?

Yea, true and certain all I saw is, as I will avouch, And 'spite the envier, thereto I surely will attain.
Oh, my gunner with Pelham, why did you not come before?" Cleave wrung her hands, clasped in his, then bent and kissed them. "Judith, I will speak to you as to a comrade, because you would be the truest comrade ever man had! What would you do what would you have done in my place? What would you do now, in my place, but say but say, 'I love you; let me go'?" "I?" said Judith.

"But, good Master Peter," I exclaimed here, "I could find some discrepancy in this. On the one hand you boggle at boils, on the other you suffer pearls to be thrust upon you. Why, if you cleave to the one, should you despise the other?
