Duran, whose wife had just been to see the strange visitant, and who had reared a large family of children, "how do Mr. and Mrs. Duran act with the boy?" "Act? why just like two grown-up children.

See the eloquent and judicious prologue to his Romancero General by Don Agustin Duran. "Caballeros granadinos, Aunque Moros, hijos d'algo."

Such a ball as I have described was to be held in the town of . Young men and young ladies impatiently waited for the time appointed to arrive. Among those who designed to attend this ball was Charles Duran, then in his eighteenth year.

Proper indulgence should be allowed; entire obedience enforced. Parents and children should both remember the words of the apostle: "Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

"Who is that?" asked the soldier, awkwardly. "Mrs. Service Miss Duran that was now one of our most dashing I should say, charitable, ladies. Plenty of men at Service's church now. She's dressed in Watteau-fashion to-night, so if you see any one skipping around, looking as though she had just stepped from the Embarkation for the Island of Venus, set her down for the minister's pretty wife!"
Duran's family. Blessings long withheld are frequently more highly prized when at length received. Mr. Duran had no children, and was now past the meridian of life.

"Well, Molly," said Mr. Jones, a neighbor of Mr.
"A snug company, sir," he said, finally, glowing upon the impassive face before him, "like a tight ship, can weather a little bad weather. Perhaps you noticed our troupe? The old lady is Mrs. Adams. She is nearly seventy, but can dance a horn-pipe or a reel with the best of them. The two sisters are Kate and Susan Duran, both coquettes of the first water.
