"I see this is a new thought to you," continued he, after a moment spent in studying the faces about him. "Let us follow it. What is the use of this preparation of study in art, poetry, or music? Is it solely for the perfection of itself? We often hear nowadays the expression, 'art for art's sake, and by some it is accounted a grand thought and a noble rallying-cry for artists.
I remembered the morning-time of our boyhood when we stood up for conflict with our young enemies, side by side obeyed the same rallying-cry, recognised the same objects, and were a sort of David and Jonathan to one another. Those days! they soothed and softened me while I recalled them.
Her name became the rallying-cry for a great political faction. The mob, with its usual headlong, unreasoning appropriation of a cause and a person, elevated her into a heroine, cheered frantically, and was ready to commit any outbreak in her honour. After six years' absence from England Queen Caroline had come back on the death of George III. to demand her rights.
Know, then, that although I now make so quiet an appearance frugal, solitary, addicted to study when I was younger, my name was once a rallying-cry among the most astute and dangerous spirits of London; and while I was outwardly an object for respect and consideration, my true power resided in the most secret, terrible, and criminal relations.
Raised from the ground by this diabolical contrivance, the bird flies, falls down and flies up again at each jerk of the cord. The fowler waits, in the mild sunlight of the autumn morning. Suddenly, great excitement in the cages. The Chaffinches chirp their rallying-cry: 'Pinck! Pinck! There is something happening in the sky. The Sambe, quick!
It is from the northern provinces that most is expected; but 'El Rey y la Religion' is a rallying-cry that will rouse all Spaniards worthy of the name. You are prepared for the event, and know what to do. Farewell, and success attend us!" The stranger set spurs to his horse, and galloped down the avenue at the same rapid pace at which he had arrived.
The Tarset Burn, upon which stands the village of Thorneyburn, runs into the Tyne not far from Falstone, and reminds us of the old Border-riding days, when the rallying-cry of the men of the district in many a feud with neighbouring clans was "Tarset and Tarret Burn, Hard and heather-bred, yet-yet-yet."
The limitation of governmental functions which was the rallying-cry of the liberals a century ago has thus become the motto of the present-day conservative. The opponents of government regulation of industry claim that it will retard or arrest progress by restricting the right of individual initiative.
They were fighting great battles, these women for suffrage, for temperance, for social purity and in every word they uttered I heard a rallying-cry. So it was that, in 1885, I suddenly pulled myself up to a radical decision and sent my resignation to the trustees of the two churches whose pastor I had been since 1878.
The "Captain" smashed the window with a backward blow of his fist, thrust his head out and yelled the rallying-cry of the Knights: "Asa! Asa!" The sound of rushing feet was heard, and a man armed with a shot-gun came into the plane of light from the open caboose door. Shorty was on the lookout for him, and as he appeared, shouted; "Halt, there! Drop that gun.
