Dancing is defined to be "to move in measure; to move with steps correspondent to the sound of instruments." But there are other species of dancing as -for three long months To dance attendance for a word of audience: and to dance with pain, or when, as Lord Bacon says, "in pestilences, the malignity of the infecting vapour danceth the principal spirits." The Chorea S. Viti, or St.
To him who is not a philosopher, a fright is the same thing in the first part of it, but quite another thing in the second; for the impression of passions does not remain superficially in him, but penetrates farther, even to the very seat of reason, infecting and corrupting it, so that he judges according to his fear, and conforms his behaviour to it.
When the present evils infecting our parliamentary system have grown still graver; when a democratic House, more and more broken up into small groups, more and more governed by sectional and interested motives, shall have shown itself evidently incompetent to conduct the business of the country with honour, efficiency, and safety; when the public has learned more fully the enormous danger to national prosperity as well as individual happiness of dissociating power from property and giving the many an unlimited right of confiscating by taxation the possessions of the few some great reconstruction of government is sure to be demanded.
I have gathered for you tonight only instances of what is beautiful in Greek religion; but even in its best time there were deep corruptions in other phases of it, and degraded forms of many of its deities, all originating in a misunderstood worship of lower races, little less than these corrupted forms of devotion can be found, all having a strange and dreadful consistency with each other, and infecting Christianity, even at its strongest periods, with fatal terror of doctrine, and ghastliness of symbolic conception, passing through fear into frenzied grotesque, and thence into sensuality.
An epidemic of the gapes, infecting the entire race of local hens, had caused the disappearance of every egg from the market. And all those other countless things which a family requires for its maintenance soap and cloth and earthenware and kitchen utensils and oils they have become rarities; the natives are learning to subsist without them; relapsing into a kind of barbarism.
Several instances have come under my observation which justify the assertion that the disease cannot be propagated by effluvia. The first boy whom I inoculated with the matter of cow-pox slept in a bed, while the experiment was going forward, with two children who never had gone through either that disease or the smallpox, without infecting either of them.
Gradually S. Cohn became aware that the military fever of which he read in both his organs was infecting his clothing emporium that his own counter-jumpers were in heats of adventurous resolve. The military microbes must have lain thick in the khaki they handled.
The Christian salvation is, on its negative side, a deliverance from something impending peril and a healing of something infecting us the sickness of sin. It is a deliverance; what from? Take, in the briefest possible language, three sayings of Scripture to answer that question what am I to be saved from?
"Weeks!" was the surprised answer; "we look for hatching to begin in about five months, and during all that time every tray of eggs is picked over once or twice a week. That keeps dead eggs from infecting live ones." "You must keep them a long time, then?" "Nearly a year altogether.
And this meanness of the Utilitarians had gone very far infecting many finer minds who had fought the Utilitarians. In the Edinburgh Review, a thing like Malthus could be championed by a man like Macaulay.
