There was some delay in gettin' to the street, but not much not much. All the Republican Clubs in the state couldn't have held 'em then, and the profanity they used wahn't especially edifyin'." "Peleg's a deacon you understand," said Mr. Bixby. "Say, Peleg, where was Al Lovejoy?" "Lovejoy come along with the first of 'em.
Perley R. Lovejoy was the life of the institution and, after several classes had graduated, the University finally ceased to be, when Mr. Lovejoy accepted a position as Professor in the Baltimore City College. Maryland has been the cradle of the Roman Catholic Church in America, as well as of the Methodist and the Presbyterian.
He has seven of the twelve senators hitched, and the governor. But Duncan and Lovejoy have bought up all the loose blocks of representatives, and it is supposed that the franchise forces only control a quorum. The end of the session is a week off, and never in all my experience have I seen a more praiseworthy attendance on the part of members."
The character, with its force or feebleness, was familiar; one knew it to the core; one was it had been run in the same mould. There remained the Central and Western States, but there the choice of teachers was not large and in the end narrowed itself to Preston King, Henry Winter Davis, Owen Lovejoy, and a few other men born with social faculty.
It was only within a few months after this very time that the atrocious persecution and murder of Lovejoy occurred in the neighboring town of Alton. When the Long Nine came home bringing the capital with them Springfield planned such a celebration as had not been seen since the day the Talisman came up the Sangamon.
Lovejoy was hooked at last, now that he had lost his head in such an unaccountable fashion as to pay his court in public; and it was very generally known that he was to make one of the Honorable Alva's immediate party at the performance of "Uncle Tam's Cabin." Mr. Speaker Sutton, of course, would have to forego the pleasure of the theatre as a penalty of his high position. Mr.
Their quick-tempered little guest had been a "kill-joy" in spite of her name. But the afternoon was not over yet. What happened next, I will tell you in another chapter. Annie Lovejoy had not been gone fifteen minutes, when there was a sharp ringing of Mrs. Parlin's doorbell, and a little boy gave Norah the red scarf of Susy's, and a note for Mrs. Parlin. Norah suspected they both came from Mrs.
And all at once it dawned on me that I had forgotten to take the medicine out to Farmer Lovejoy, which I surely promised tonight. It lies under the seat of the machine. Slipped my mind entirely when I was out. And Frank, there may be a serious turn to that child's sickness unless that medicine gets there within the next hour or so."
Now I sat the other night and watched those people you got up around the altar-rail, groaning and shouting and crying, and the others jumping up and down with excitement, and Sister Lovejoy did you see her? coming out of her pew and regularly waltzing in the aisle, with her eyes shut, like a whirling dervish I positively believe it was all that made me ill. I couldn't stand it.
She hastened to answer it. It was an inquiry from the livery-stable for Mr. Stephen Burns. He had not brought the horse back, nor had he returned to his hotel. Did Miss Lovejoy perhaps know of his whereabouts? Did she think they had better send out a search-party? Miss Lovejoy knew nothing of his whereabouts, and she was strongly of the opinion that he had better be looked up.
