"I don’t blame him for hittin’ the cab driver," said Aunt Mary warmly. "As near as I can recollect, I’ve often wanted to do that myself. But I can’t make out where he got the man to hit, or why he was there to hit him. I can’t make rhyme or reason out of it. I wish we knew more. Well, I presume we will, later." Her surmise was correct. They knew much more later. They knew more from Mr.
But the dreamy mixture of rhyme and view was quickly dispelled by the sight of a large gray animal dashing across the prairie into the cowshed, with a smaller black and white animal in hot pursuit. "A wolf," I exclaimed, and seizing a rifle dashed out to help the dog.
All of them were thus far of EUGENIUS his opinion, that "the sweetness of English Verse was never understood or practised by our fathers"; even CRITES himself did not much oppose it: and every one was willing to acknowledge how much our Poesy is improved by the happiness of some writers yet living, who first taught us to mould our thoughts into easy and significant words; to retrench the superfluities of expression; and to make our Rhyme so properly a part of the Verse, that it should never mislead the Sense, but itself be led and governed by it.
He repeated with great spirit a poem, consisting of several stanzas, in four lines, in alternate rhyme, which he said he had composed some years before, on occasion of a rich, extravagant young gentleman's coming of age; saying he had never repeated it but once since he composed it, and had given but one copy of it.

It is not to be found in the author's four volumes.
The ship's bow turned. Doc saw the big hulk go by him in the dark. "Good work," said Doc. "How'd you spot him so quick?" "I didn't spot him, sir. I don't see him yet. I went by the sound of his voice." "Special little angel perched up aloft to look out for Jack when at sea " sang Doc. "I thought that was a nursery rhyme. Now I know it's true.
An old rhyme Molly had heard Betty use, would keep running in her head and making her uneasy, 'Two is company, Three is trumpery. But where could she go to in that strange house? What ought she to do? She was roused from this fit of wonder and abstraction by her father's saying, 'What do you think of this plan of Lady Cumnor's?
A child's imagination is so exquisitely alive, his whole little being is so responsive, that the guidance which can be given him through happy brain-impressions is eminently practicable. To test this responsiveness, and feel it more keenly, just tell a child a dramatic story, and watch his face respond; or even recite a Mother-Goose rhyme with all the expression at your command.
Poor old Billy! this scrap of a rhyme, learned in his far-away boyhood, was the one bit that had stuck in his clouded mind all these years, and had served this pious soul for a prayer ever since. Every night, kneeling reverently by his bedside, he had said it, and every morning when he arose; only then he added the petition, "God bless Mrs. Maxwell, and make Billy good."
