They shall not solemnize the corruption of the body; they shall turn their eyes to Heaven, and there seek for the immortal spirit of the departed!

It is too soon for such edicts.
I am too old for your young fellows take the Major and leave me behind." The architect grabbed Peter by the arm. "When did that mighty idea crack its way through that shell of yours, you tottering Methusaleh! Old! You're spryer than a frolicking lamb in March. You are coming, too, Major. Get into your coats and things!" "But Isaac is pressing my swallow-tail."
From the first the Syrian Jews had looked on it with disapproval; they even held the time of its translation as a day of mourning, and with malicious grief pointed out its errors, as, for instance, they affirmed that it made Methusaleh live until after the Deluge.
And the boys ran away, still mocking them. You could hear their shouts dying away in the distance: "Chinky, chinky Chinaman, Bow, wow, wow!" Not long after this the Toyman came out from Trennery's and climbed on the seat; and he and Marmaduke and Old Methusaleh jogged along towards home.
There, behind the sleigh, running and leaping and paddling and waddling and frisking and scampering came a strange procession. There were Rover and Brownie and little Wienerwurst, Teddy and Methusaleh and all the horses, Primrose, Daisy, Buttercup, Black-Eyed Susan and all the cows. He could see their tongues hanging out it was so hard to keep up with the dogs and the horses.
I can't offer you a movie and I'm afraid there isn't any ice cream either. I could have had some if I'd known you were coming. But I think Martha will be able to find something good." A very old woman, who looked at Jims with great amazement, came out to set the table. Jims thought she must be as old as Methusaleh. But he did not mind her.
Sez he to me: 'I'll see the little gel wot I used to know, and I'll tell 'er as 'ow the Five Sisters be chalked, an' she'll listen to me you see if she don't! I was rather took with the idee myself, but I sez, sez I: 'Let alone, Josey, you be old as Methusaleh, and you can't get up to the Manor nohow; let Passon try what he can do wi' Leach, and now you've been and done your best, and can't do nothin', why we must give it up altogether."
It is a significant fact in the history of Enoch, that his piety shone brightest amid family surroundings. He was not an ascetic or an anchorite. He was a husband and a father. It is said that he "walked with God after the birth of Methusaleh."
Not a day older? Why, if feelin's count for anything, I'm as old as Methusaleh. Haven't I had enough to make me old?" He was grave immediately. "I beg your pardon, Keziah," he said. "I'm a dough head, that's a fact. I hadn't forgot about Sol, but I was so glad to be home again and to see dad and Grace and the old town and you that everything else flew out of my mind. Poor Sol! I liked him."
It would be a pity to deprive the assembly of such an edifying specimen of sanctimoniousness." "Yes, sah, I'se bery sanktimonyus. I'se 'bliged to you, sah." With a last obsequious flourish the palm-leaf was restored to its resting-place upon the snowy wool, and the negro shambled away.
