The following letters, carefully culled from the annual contributions of a lady whose epistolary career I have followed with interest, will indicate the delicious inconsequence that has made them for me such grateful reading: 1888. SIR, There is nothing in life worth purchasing by pulsations and respirations.
Shall I tell thee what it is?" she resumed, as if she had not heard him. "If thee will," he answered, awed by a strange solemnity in her manner. Her quick respirations had become audible. Small but intensely red spots were burning on either cheek. Her white hands trembled as they clutched the arms of the old rocking chair in which she sat.
The sensitive or vascular structure of the foot has an abundant supply of sensory nerves, and, as it is situated between the hoof and the bony core, the pressure and pain resulting from the inflammation are severe. In the acute form general symptoms are manifested. The appetite is impaired, the body temperature elevated and the pulse beats and respirations quickened.
He also "took" Kelly's pulse and noted his respirations, entering all this information on his record. "Any pain anywhere, Kelly?" "Sorra the bit," promptly rejoined the soldier. "You're just a little off-key," went on the hospital steward, with a professional air. "Not much; still, you'd better have some medicine." "I can't take salts," protested Kelly. "They make me sea-sick.
I leaned, panting and exhausted, against the side of the car. Gulnare did not stir. She lay motionless, her breath coming and going in lessening respirations. I tottered toward her, and as I stood above her, my ear detected a low gurgling sound. I cannot describe the feeling that followed. Joy and grief contended within me. I knew the meaning of that sound.
Now, as every one knows, an axillary temperature takes five minutes, during which it is customary for a nurse to kneel beside the bed, or even to sit very lightly on the edge, holding the patient's arm close to his side and counting his respirations while pretending to be thinking of something else.
'O merciful Lord! she cried, send me a thousand torments, and as many deaths as I respirations, rather than permit that I should offend Thee. Looking on her slow interior martyrdom as the instrument in God's hand for the purification of her soul, she would not have exchanged its pangs for imaginable joys united.
Go, take your stand on some overhanging bluff, where the blue Ohio winds its thread of silver, or the sturdy Mississippi tears its path through unbroken forests, and it will do your heart good to see the gallant boat walking the waters with unbroken and powerful tread; and, like some fabled monster of the wave, breathing fire, and making the shores resound with its deep respirations.
People who believe in no God, invariably exalt themselves into His position, and worship with the very idolatry they decry in others. Music is the echo of the rhythm of God's respirations. Poetry is the effort of the divine part of man to formulate a worthy language in which to converse with angels. Painting and sculpture seem to me the most presumptuous of the arts.
By some accident one of the bottles fell one day and was broken. The homunculus within died after a few painful respirations in spite of all efforts to save him, and the body was buried in the garden. An attempt to generate another, made by the Count without the assistance of the Abbé, who had left, failed; it produced only a small thing like a leech, which had little vitality and soon died.
