If the opinion of the most approved writers upon that species of mixed government which in modern Europe is termed monarchy in contradistinction to despotism is correct, there was wanting no other addition to the powers of our Chief Magistrate to stamp a monarchical character on our Government but the control of the public finances; and to me it appears strange indeed that anyone should doubt that the entire control which the President possesses over the officers who have the custody of the public money, by the power of removal with or without cause, does, for all mischievous purposes at least, virtually subject the treasure also to his disposal.
I never trouble myself about it. I hate aristocracy." "Do you, dear?" "Yes," said Mary, full of her own grievances. "It is an abominable bondage, and I do not see that it does any good at all." "I think it is so glorious," said the American. "There is no such mischievous nonsense in all the world as equality. That is what father says. What men ought to want is liberty."
"Don't want you in the boat! Don't want nobody only the Capting and Mamzelle. You go anuzzer picnic by yourself!" "You must forgive us, Miss Rose, but this is strictly a limited expedition. We children want to be as mischievous as we like without the controlling influence of grown-up people. No best frocks, please, Mrs Wallace!

"But I couldn't have you break an engagement," cried Beth, hastily. "Why not?"
"I'll come to-morrow," she said then with a little mischievous laugh, "if that'll make you talk." "You must think I'm awfully stupid," agreed Thorpe bitterly. "Ah, no! Ah, no!" she protested softly. "You must not say that." She was looking at him very tenderly, if he had only known it, but he did not, for his face was set in discontented lines straight before him. "It is true," he replied.
It was a favourite resort of Winnie's, and here the wonderful thoughts, the outbursts of passion, the mischievous plots and schemes, all found free course, and many a childish secret could those heavy folds of curtain have told had they been gifted with tongues wherewith to speak.

But this time it is not at old Marta's house that the people are, gathered, but at the new, white cottage that Ramon Enriquez built, a year ago, for his bride. Juan, merry and mischievous as a blue jay generally, is sober as he hovers on the outskirts of the little group of people.
I think I never heard any thing so barbarous. James. I say, Jack, let us have some fun with this lop-tail squirrel: while they are talking, they will not see us. John. Ay, so we will.
