But the man who, having far surpassed the limit of providing for the wants, both of body and mind, of himself and of those depending upon him, then piles up a great fortune, for the acquisition or retention of which he returns no corresponding benefit to the nation as a whole, should himself be made to feel that, so far from being a desirable, he is an unworthy, citizen of the community; that he is to be neither admired nor envied; that his right-thinking fellow-countrymen put him low in the scale of citizenship, and leave him to be consoled by the admiration of those whose level of purpose is even lower than his own.
For which reason the Jews, depending on the natural strength of these places, deposited in them that half shekel which every one, by the custom of our country, offers unto God, as well as they did other things devoted to him; for they made use of these cities as a treasury, whence, at a proper time, they were transmitted to Jerusalem; and many ten thousand men undertook the carriage of those donations, out of fear of the ravages of the Parthians, to whom the Babylonians were then subject.
From the fact that the consent of both assemblies was necessary to change the law, he governed as he pleased and had no other ministerial representative than the high chancellor of the empire, depending solely on the sovereign. After 1870 he was in the empire what he had been previously in Prussia, the essential representative of the country and the supreme head of the military forces.
He never walked by the waterside by night, and on the one occasion when a rush had been tried as he strolled back in the twilight from Hanover Lodge, he had cracked Jem Simcoe's head so thoroughly, that there was little likelihood of its ever being much good to him in this world a pretty thing for a man living by his wits and with a family of three or four young wives intermittently depending upon his efforts.
Hannah Moore! We shall probably give great offence by such indiscretion; but still we must be excused for treating it as a book merely human, an uninspired production, the result of mortality left to itself, and depending on its own limited resources.
Imposing dimensions and great outlay of money do not necessarily imply distinction, a quality depending upon unerring good taste in the minutest details, one which may be achieved equally in a stately mansion, in a city flat, or in a cottage by the sea. The question of background is absorbingly interesting.
"If you're depending on ME for your future offspring," answered Jimmy, wagging his head with the air of a man reckless of consequences, "you are NOT a father." "Depending on YOU?" gasped Alfred, and he stared at his friend in bewilderment. "What do you mean by that?" "Ask them," answered Jimmy, and he nodded toward Zoie and Aggie. Alfred appealed to Aggie. "Ask Zoie," said Aggie.
I think it seems twice as big as when it is overhead. Mr. A. It does so; and you may probably have observed the same apparent enlargement of the moon at its rising. W. I have; but pray what is the reason of this? Mr. A. It is an optical deception, depending upon principles which I cannot well explain to you till you know more of that branch of science.
He had soup everywhere except in the bowl. Every British prisoner had to put up with this kind of food for the first two months; after that, the Red Cross parcels would begin to arrive. The condition of the Russian prisoners was indeed pitiable. They received no help from home, and were depending solely on German food.
The beauty of it all the beauty of an English midland was of a modest and measured sort, depending chiefly on bounties of sun and air, on the delicacies of gentle curves and the pleasant intermingling of wood and cornfield, of light spaces with dark, of solid earth and luminous sky. Such as it was, however, neither Bessie nor John spared it a moment's attention.
