Think of the dislocation which this sudden change has brought about, of the many who can no longer follow their ancestral vocations, of the commotion which a less profound change produced in Europe, and you will understand what is the chief motive-power of the political unrest. It is small wonder. The wonder is that the unrest has been no greater than it is.
And yet she seemed to have risen through instinct to share the fire of his vision of religion revealed to the countless ranks of strugglers as the hidden motive-power of the world, the impetus of scientist, statesman, artist, and philanthropist! They had stood together on the heights of the larger view, whence the whole of the battle-line lay disclosed.
"I tell you straight, Ned: I never was so uncertain about the outcome of one of my inventions since I began dabbling with motive-power." "We could build several miles of straight track in the waste ground behind the works," Ned said, thoughtfully. "Not a chance! There is neither time nor money for such work.
Gif me your C.O. D. "'My I. O. U.? I inquired. "'It makes no matter. See. I will gif it to you gratis. "He handed me the metal contrivance. It was closed. "'Inside iss a little, such a very little. Not yet iss it arranged the motive-power to give-forth. One more change-to-be-made that shall require. But the other phenomena are all in this little half-grain comprised.
It is quite possible that I may have been thrown in the way of this robber for the very purpose of touching his heart through kindness God's own motive-power and that the Spirit will soften his heart to receive the touch."

In the majority of cases transportation is impossible, so disproportioned is the burden to the motive-power.
My sewing-machine had fits and gave me a back-ache, so I've locked it up until some one invents a motive-power that can be applied to house-work, washing, churning, mincing meat and vegetables, driving sewing-machines, and if it only could kneading bread, sweeping floors, washing dishes, ironing clothes, and making beds.
Instead of glory being "the potent motive-power in all great souls," as M. Sainte-Beuve approvingly quotes, it is, with a surer moral instinct, called by Milton, "That last infirmity of noble mind." In some of the noblest and greatest, so subordinate is it as hardly to be traceable in their careers.
For the rest, New York has a copious and excellent water supply, which London has not; it has a splendidly efficient fire-brigade; it has an admirable telephone system, with underground wires; and even its electric trolleys get their motive-power from underneath, whereas in Philadelphia the overhead wires are, I regret to say, killing the trees which lend the streets their greatest charm.
Their discoveries may perhaps teach moralists the true motive-power that ought to influence the actions of man legislators, the true motives that should actuate him, that should excite him to labour to the welfare of society sovereigns, the means of rendering their subjects truly happy; of giving solidity to the power of the nations committed to their charge.
