The spectacle of a lady of mature years and more than generous integumental upholstery dying of consumption was more than the Venetian sense of humor could endure with equanimity. The opera ended with shrieks of laughter instead of the lachrymal flood which the music and the dramatic situation called for.
About a month after this, I heard a sailor with one leg, and a handful of ballads, singing in a most lachrymal tone, "Why, what is that to you if my eyes I'm a wiping? A tear is a pleasure, d'ye see, in its way "Bless your honour, shy a copper to Poor Jack, who's lost his leg in the sarvice. Thanky, your honour," and he continued,
While visiting a town in Georgia, where the negroes had made some effort to improve their condition, I made a few notes relating to the freedman's debating society of the place. Affecting high-sounding words, they called their organization, "De Lycenum," and its doings were directed by a committee of two persons, called respectively, "de disputaceous visitor," and "de lachrymal visitor."
If by any chance the lachrymal glands were to be dried up, woman's life would lose a goodly share of its charm. There is nothing to cry on which compares with a man's shoulder; almost any man will do at a critical moment; but the clavicle of a lover is by far the most desirable.
How does the method of adjustment, or accommodation, of the eyeball differ from that of a telescope or a photographer’s camera? With two eyes how are we kept from seeing double? What different purposes are served by the tears. Trace them from the lachrymal glands to the nostrils. Show how the proper lenses remedy short- and long-sightedness. Describe the conjunctiva and give its functions.
It is found in the tears, as we are informed by poets, who talk of "briny drops" and "saut, saut tears"; though why there, unless to keep the lachrymal fluid from spoiling, in those persons who bottle up their tears for a long time, we cannot divine. Perhaps we had better take the rest into consideration together, the magnesia and iron, and whatever other elements are found in the body.
Lads resembled men of 80 years of age and presented a cretin-like appearance; the lips were bluish, the eyes dull, without luster, and constantly lachrymal; the veins very small, scarcely visible; the extremities cold; the pulse could not be felt, neither at the radius nor at the temple bone, somnolency was general.
By pressing his finger on the side of his nose close to his eye, he could send a jet of liquid right into his interlocutor's face, a proceeding sufficient to satisfy all doubts as to his alleged marvellous powers. On examination it was found that he had a small orifice near the corner of the eye, through which the pressure forced the lachrymal fluid, pure tears, in fact.
There are sorry enough things in the world as it is, without a lachrymal, hypochondriacal Truth poking her face in everywhere. "Eempossible!" murmured the Russian attache, just as if the matter had not come under his notice semi-officially.
They never left any traces on her face nor red rims around her eyelids as with most people, and except that she was unusually pale, no one would have guessed that her lachrymal ducts had been overflowing only a moment before. "Well, well, Miss Nancy, I am afraid we shall have to put smoked glasses over those pretty blue eyes of yours before they cause any more mischief in Japan," exclaimed Mr.
