The Olympian biddeth thee ransom noble Hector and carry gifts to Achilles that may gladden his heart: go thou alone, let none other of the Trojans go with thee. Only let some elder herald attend on thee to guide the mules and the smooth-wheeled waggon to carry back to the city the dead man whom noble Achilles slew.
IN May when every lusty heart flourisheth and bourgeoneth, for as the season is lusty to behold and comfortable, so man and woman rejoice and gladden of summer coming with his fresh flowers: for winter with his rough winds and blasts causeth a lusty man and woman to cower and sit fast by the fire.
"How very merciful God has been!" the old lady said softly, her gaze resting lovingly on the group waiting outside, in the sunlight of another beautiful day. "Oh, Donald " she continued, "it seems almost too good to think of you and the dear children, coming to live here always, to gladden the years." "We should be truly grateful," Mr.
Miss Gladden was enthusiastic in her admiration of the course he had taken, so different from many of the young men she had known in wealthy, aristocratic circles, in thus defending a poor, friendless girl, subject to insult because she had the misfortune, under such circumstances, to be beautiful; and obeying the impulses of her noble-hearted, high-spirited nature, she went to Houston, as she saw him standing alone a few minutes after dinner, and extending her hand, with a bright smile, said: "Sir Knight, I want to thank you, in Lyle's name and my own, for the chivalric course you have taken this morning."
"You play and sing, do you not, Mr. Rutherford?" Miss Gladden inquired, addressing the elder brother. "Yes, occasionally," he answered, with a peculiar smile. "What instrument do you use?" "I can accompany myself on several different instruments," he replied, "but the violin is my favorite; it is capable of more expression than most others."
"But you have a sweet voice," said Houston, "will you not sing for us?" "If you will overlook any mistakes, I may," answered Lyle, "for I probably do not sing correctly, as I know nothing of music." "Certainly, Lyle, we would like to hear you," said Miss Gladden.
One by one it liberated from the enmeshments of its tangled wooded heights the constellations to gladden the eye and lure the fancy. Its largess of silver torrents flung down its slopes made fertile the little fields, and bestowed a lilting song on the silence, and took a turn at the mill-wheel, and did not disdain the thirst of the humble cattle.
"He has gone away," said I, "to gladden his grandmother's bosom his grandmother, who doubtless lives far away in some little cottage in the country. He will soon come back again." And he did come back again, for on a lovely summer day, when the birds and butterflies and children were sporting in the sun, I saw him seated in a little chair, amidst his young companions.
You see the glimmer of the stream beneath, But hear no murmuring: it flows silently, O'er its soft bed of verdure. All is still, A balmy night! and tho' the stars be dim, Yet let us think upon the vernal showers That gladden the green earth, and we shall find A pleasure in the dimness of the stars." We happen also to have Dorothy Wordsworth's journal for April and May.
O amiable one, freed from this distress, I shall certainly seek to gladden thee, and worship and honour thee on every occasion in return for thy services. A person by doing even abundant services in return never becomes equal to the person that did him good in the first instance. The former does those services for the sake of services received.
