This preposterous pursuit was beyond doubt injurious, both to my natural powers and to the progress of my education. This deplorable condition of mind continued "even unto my seventeenth year." And now our readers must prepare themselves for a mighty and wonderful change, wrought, all on a sudden, on the moral and intellectual character of this metaphysical Greenhorn. "Mr.
Never in my life have I seen such sure, well-dressed women as in the lobby of the St. Francis. And I am no greenhorn at lobbies. I have reviewed in my day some of the best peacock alleys in the country. There is the New Willard. Now when I think of the New Willard, I see frumpily dressed dowagers talking through their lorgnettes to moth-eaten senators. The Selbach in Louisville, the St.
"As the grave was to give up its dead, let us be thankful to the grave for disgorging in time! I am bound to say, that Mr. George Warrington seems to be a man of sense, and not more selfish than other elder sons and men of the world. My poor Molly fancied that he might be a what shall I say? a greenhorn perhaps is the term like his younger brother.
A man must be still a greenhorn in the ways of the world, if he imagines that he can make himself popular in society by exhibiting intelligence and discernment. With the immense majority of people, such qualities excite hatred and resentment, which are rendered all the harder to bear by the fact that people are obliged to suppress even from themselves the real reason of their anger.
"Guess that's his lookout." He still sat there, doggedly unconcerned. A bull would have seemed more at home in a china shop than Jethro Bass in a jewellery store.

"F-folks told me to be careful to be careful," said Mr. Bass. Then Mr.
"I am going to let you keep the locket," he said, "because it will teach my greenhorn a lesson. William, do you hear that?" "Yes, sir," William said, and his face was very red. Mr. Bass rose solemnly, apparently unmoved by his triumph in a somewhat remarkable transaction, and William long remembered how he towered over all of them. He held the locket out to Mr.
Now and then you might see the curious puzzled face of some greenhorn about town, or perhaps a Cantab; and men of grave age, and grayhaired, were there, and amongst them a wondrous proportion of carbuncled faces and bottle-noses. And when John Burley entered, there was a shout that made William Pitt shake in his frame. Such stamping and hallooing, and such hurrahs for "Burley John."
"Orter be turned out t' grass a leetle while," the adjutant suggested. The compliments he failed to hear soon came to him indirectly, and he had much to put up with. He kept his temper and smoked thoughtfully, and took it ail in good part. The night after he came they put him on guard duty a greenhorn, with no knowledge of any orders but gee and haw.
Nevertheless, inflamed by these amorous advances, he would hammer way anew at his marble figures, would carve beautiful breasts, to bring the water into one's mouth at the sight of those sweet fruits of love, without counting the other things that he raised, carved, and caressed with the chisels, smoothed down with his file, and fashioned in a manner that would make their use intelligible to the mind of a greenhorn, and stain his verdure in a single day.
"I suppose you are the young gentleman about whom Captain Vernon was speaking to me yesterday. What is your name?" I told him. "Ah! Hawkesley! yes, that is the name. I remember now.
