He is no longer so anxious about his wife's health, as he was, tho' I find she still has a cough, & moreover I find she is not with child: but he made such a bragging, how could one choose but believe him. When I was in town, I mark'd in my pocket-book the utmost limits & divisions of the two columns in your Thermometer, and asked Mr.
The following is an extract from it: I am still here no very mark'd or significant change or happening fairly buoyant spirits, &c. but surely, slowly ebbing. At this moment sitting here, in my den, Mickle street, by the oakwood fire, in the same big strong old chair with wolf-skin spread over back bright sun, cold, dry winter day.
B is the Scut, or Rump, of the Rabbit, and C is where the Neck comes; then will the Part mark'd F, appear like the Breast of a Fowl: but you must put up the stript Legs of the Rabbit, over each side of the Neck of it, and tie all together, with a String, as mark'd H H. So will the Hind-Legs of the Rabbit appear like the Legs of a Fowl, and where you see the Letter G mark'd, the Back of the Rabbit is broken.
The changeful sand doth only know The shallow tide and latest; The rocks have mark'd its highest flow, The deepest and the greatest; And deeper still the flood-marks grow: So, since the hour I met thee, The more the tide of time doth flow, The less can I forget thee! When Augusta saw the lines, she was charmed. She discovered her Furlong to be a poet!
The poor little sleepy, stumbling pages, the smell of the hall, the members with heads leaning on their desks, the sounds of the voices speaking, with unusual intonations the general moral atmosphere also of the close of this important session the strong hope that the war is approaching its close the tantalizing dread lest the hope may be a false one the grandeur of the hall itself, with its effect of vast shadows up toward the panels and spaces over the galleries all made a mark'd combination.
Among these ditties was one, the last of the concert, and to the following effect: Ah! bleak and barren was the moor, Ah! loud and piercing was the storm, The cottage roof was shelter'd sure, The cottage hearth was bright and warm An orphan boy the lattice pass'd, And, as he mark'd its cheerful glow, Felt doubly keen the midnight blast, And doubly cold the fallen snow.
And, after many warm greetings, the boat was made fast, and we climbed up along the peninsula together, in close order, like a little army. All this time there was no sign or sound about the House of Gleys to show that anyone mark'd us or noted our movements. The gate was closed, the windows stood shutter'd, as on my former visit: even the chimneys were smokeless.
But all his life has been one continued miracle; all good, all gracious, calm and merciful: and this good, this god-like King, is mark'd out for slaughter, design'd a sacrifice to the private revenge of a few ambitious knaves and rebels, whose pretence is the public good, and doomed to be basely murdered.
They certainly have more of beauty, dignity and nobility mingled with their own wild individuality, than any of the other indigenous types of man. All of the other aboriginal types seem to be more or less distorted from the model of perfect human form as we know it the blacks, thin-hipped, with bulbous limbs, not well mark'd; the Arabs large-jointed, &c.
I am not sure but the same analogy is to be applied, in cases, often seen, where, with an extra development and acuteness of the intellectual faculties, there is a mark'd absence of the spiritual, affectional, and sometimes, though more rarely, the highest esthetic and moral elements of cognition.
