The man of science clings to his object, as the marsupial embryo to its teat, until he has filled himself as full as he can hold; the poet takes a sip of his dew-drop, throws his head up like a chick, rolls his eyes around in contemplation of the heavens above him and the universe in general, and never thinks of asking a Linnaean question as to the flower that furnished him his dew-drop.
Say we may stay with you, kind little maiden." And Bud said, "Yes," and they stayed; but her kind little heart was grieved that they wept so sadly, and all she could say could not make them happy; till at last she said, "Do not weep, and I will go to Queen Dew-Drop, and beseech her to let you come back.
The general exhortation to watch is followed by a pair of contrasted parable portraits, primarily applicable to the apostles and to those 'set over His household. But if we remember what Christ taught as the condition of pre-eminence in His kingdom, we shall not confine their application to an order. 'The least flower with a brimming cup may stand, And share its dew-drop with another near,
It is not to be believed that such a creature as this, which is probably just sensitive to light and nothing more, should be able to form any conception of an eye and set itself to work to grow one, any more than it is believable that he who first observed the magnifying power of a dew-drop, or even he who first constructed a rude lens, should have had any idea in his mind of Lord Rosse's telescope with all its parts and appliances.
They made the development of man from the amoeba part and parcel of the story that may be read, though on an infinitely smaller scale, in the development of our most powerful marine engines from the common kettle, or of our finest microscopes from the dew-drop.

But the father remembered that she had hidden something away when he first entered the room, and even this earnest protest did not satisfy him.
It is not even within the power of slavery to write indelible sorrow, at a single dash, over the heart of a child.
