Two eagle-eyed matrons were on watch.
That's too big a jump, unless my young man's expressions on the tariff command a wide sale amongst curio-hunters." "Then he is quite a fool about political matters?" "Far from it; he is highly ingenious. His editorials are often the subtlest cups of flattery I ever sipped, many of them showing assiduous study of old files to master the method and notions of his eagle-eyed predecessor.
Semitic in face, high-nosed, bushy-bearded, and eagle-eyed, with skin burned brown by a life of the veld it was De la Rey, one of the trio of fighting chiefs whose name will always be associated with the gallant resistance of the Boers. He was there as adviser, but Cronje was in supreme command. His dispositions had been both masterly and original.

Are not these therefore strong desires? is there not life and mettle in them? have they not in them power to loose the bands of nature, and to harden the soul against sorrow? flow they not, think you, from faith of the finest sort, and are they not bred in the bosom of a truly mortified soul? are these the effects of a purblind spirit? are they not rather the fruits of an eagle-eyed confidence?
