James Graves, N. A., from New York, spending part of his summer on the Cape in search of the picturesque, which I hope he found. Elkanah had, as I have said, a natural talent for drawing, and some of his sketches had that in them which elicited the approval of Graves, who saw in the young fellow an untutored genius, or, at least, very considerable promise of future excellence.
Even Captain Elkanah did not try to oppose the general opinion; "although I cannot but feel," he said, "that Mr. Ellery's course was rash and that he should have considered us and our interest in his welfare before "
That's the King of Trumet. Let's you and me go ahead and fire salutes, Thoph." Captain Elkanah wrathfully ordered the flags to be removed from the horses' heads and from the dashboard. As Noah Ellis and his passenger turned into the lighthouse lane another vehicle turned out of it. "Who was that?" queried Kyan. "Looked like one of the livery stable horses to me." "'Twa'n't.
We should have no hesitation to give it for John Dryden, in preference to Elkanah Settle, from the names only, without knowing their different merits . JOHNSON. 'I suppose, Sir, Settle did as well for Aldermen in his time, as John Home could do now. Where did Beckford and Trecothick learn English ? Mr.
A period rich in literature. John Milton's early life. Writing "Paradise Lost." Its publication and success. His later works and death. John Dryden gossips with wits and players.

It scarcely needed this, however; for Elkanah took such delight in his new proficiency, and got from Graves's stories of artist life such exalted ideas of the unalloyed felicity of the gentleman of the brush, that, even had the painter said no word, he would have worked out that way himself.
And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites.
The widowed Rhoby Harris never recovered from the shock of her husband's death, and the passing of her first-born Elkanah two years later was the final blow to her reason.
