If I were very sanguine, I might hope that some of my great patrons might procure me a treasury warrant for supervisor, surveyor-general, etc. Thus, secure of a livelihood, "to thee, sweet poetry, delightful maid," I would consecrate my future days. ELLISLAND, January 6th, 1789. Many happy returns of the season to you, my dear Sir!
Samuel Brohl possessed a calmer spirit than the Athenian Hippoclide; he was less brutal than Alnaschar of Bagdad: was he much less ferocious? He proposed, he also, to educate his wife; he intended that the daughter of the grand-vizier should consecrate herself wholly to his happiness, to his service.
"Are you going to the banquet?" "What banquet?" "Don't you know? Kononov is going to consecrate his new steamer. A mass will be held there and then they are going to take a trip up the Volga." "I was not invited," said Foma. "Nobody was invited. He simply announced on the Exchange: 'Anybody who wishes to honour me is welcome! "I don't care for it." "Yes?
This letter I consecrate to you, because I know that the persons and things to be introduced into it will most particularly be appreciated by you.

And young Farney pitying him. Pity, forsooth!
It was the fifth anniversary of that resolution of the senate fathers to consecrate the altar of Peace. Pilgrims thronged the city, and some had journeyed far. Tens of thousands surrounded the great monument, immense and beautiful beyond any in the knowledge of men. It signalized a remarkable state of things the world was at peace.
But not thus will I disappear. If I am destined to fall in this combat to which I am now hastening, my death shall be glorious, and my grave shall be known; it must, at least, be crowned with laurels, as no one will consecrate it with the tribute of love and tears. A king, you know, is never loved, and no one weeps for his death; the whole world is too busily engaged in welcoming his successor."
'Never! the memory of great actions never dies. The sun of glory, though awhile obscured, will shine at last. And so, sweet brother, perchance some poet, in some distant age, within whose veins our sacred blood may flow, his fancy fired with the national theme, may strike his harp to Alroy's wild career, and consecrate a name too long forgotten?
