Most of them make a bad use of this fatal knowledge, and girls are so full of curiosity that few of them will fail to learn without compulsion. Possibly cyphering should come first; there is nothing so obviously useful, nothing which needs so much practice or gives so much opportunity for error as reckoning.
Here William studied Lilly's Latin and Cleonard's Greek Grammar, together with "cyphering and casting-up accounts," being a good scholar, we may guess, in the classics, but encountering the master's "severe government" in his sums. Chigwell was as Puritan a place as Wanstead.
She has a gentle, serious face; her neatly braided hair and her black tippet inspire respect and sympathy. Mademoiselle Genseigne, who is very clever, is teaching her little pupils cyphering. She says to Rose Benoit: "Rose Benoit, if I take four from twelve, what have I left?" "Four?" answers Rose Benoît. Mademoiselle Genseigne is not satisfied with the answer.
Cyphering is the thing if a man knows how to cipher, he is sure to grow rich. We are a 'calculating' people, we all cipher. "A horse that won't go ahead, is apt to run back, and the more you whip him the faster he goes astarn.
Olympia, also, became much depressed, and we both slumbered and woke cross, and still the gentleman was going on in the dark whether up in the stars, or down on the stage, it would have been hard to make out, if it had been worth trying cyphering away about planes of orbits, to such an infamous extent that Olympia, stung to madness, actually kicked me. A pretty birthday speech when Dr.
Down in Bleeding Heart Yard there was scarcely an inhabitant of note to whom Mr Pancks had not imparted his demonstration, and, as figures are catching, a kind of cyphering measles broke out in that locality, under the influence of which the whole Yard was light-headed. The more restless Mr Pancks grew in his mind, the more impatient he became of the Patriarch.
In the meantime we must have a canal from Bay Fundy to Bay Varte, right through Cumberland neck, by Shittyack, for our fishing vessels to go to Labradore. I guess you must ax leave first, said I; that's jist what I was cyphering at, says he, when you came in.
Is it not astonishing that, while we are plowing, planting, and reaping, using all kinds of mechanical tools, erecting houses, constructing bridges, building ships, working in metals of brass, iron, copper, silver, and gold; that, while we are reading, writing, and cyphering, acting as clerks, merchants, and secretaries, having among us lawyers, doctors, ministers, poets, authors, editors, orators, and teachers; that, while we are engaged in all manner of enterprises common to other men digging gold in California, capturing the whale in the Pacific, feeding sheep and cattle on the hillside, living, moving, acting, thinking, planning, living in families as husbands, wives, and children, and, above all, confessing and worshiping the Christian's God, and looking hopefully for life and immortality beyond the grave we are called upon to prove that we are men!
Halifax is nothing without a river or back country; add nothing to nothing, and I guess you have nothing still add a Rail Road to the Bay of Fundy, and how much do you get? That requires cyphering it will cost $300,000, or 75,000 pounds your money add for notions omitted in the addition column, one third, and it makes even money 100,000 pounds. Interest at 5 per cent 5,000 pounds a year.
Besides, I guess we are as far from perfection as when we set out a roin for it. You may get PURITY OF ELECTION, but how are you to get PURITY OF MEMBERS? It would take a great deal of cyphering to tell that. I never see'd it yet, and never heerd tell of one who had see'd it. The best member I een amost ever seed was John Adams.
