There was a faint ring of reproach in the words, as she uttered them something which sounded as if she had said "yes, 'tis true you have done all this for me, but was your motive no worthier than to trust to these influences, for a power over me in the future?" A trifle sadder in his accent, Henry Rayne answered, "Do not put it like that Honor you pain me.

"Going to make a prisoner of me?" asked Pepper, as the door was opened and he was thrust into the room. "You shall stay here for the present," snapped Josiah Crabtree. "When I let you out I think you'll be a sadder and perhaps a wiser boy." "Am I to have my breakfast?" "No," answered the teacher. Then he banged the door shut, locked it, and walked swiftly away.

It is sad and fearful, when the weak physical nature is plied with all the enticements of earth and sense; but it is yet sadder and more fearful, when the intellectual nature is sought to be perverted and ensnared by specious theories that annihilate the distinction between virtue and vice, that take away all holy fear of God, and reverence for His law, that represent the everlasting future either as an everlasting elysium for all, or else as an eternal sleep.

Winding far down from within the very heart of this spiked Hotel de Cluny where we here stand however grand and wonderful, now quit it; and take your way, ye nobler, sadder souls, to those vast Roman halls of Thermes; where far beneath the fantastic towers of man's upper earth, his root of grandeur, his whole awful essence sits in bearded state; an antique buried beneath antiquities, and throned on torsoes!

The voice of the nurse answered her suddenly and bitterly in these strange words: "There are sadder stories than yours. There are thousands of miserable women who would ask for no greater blessing than to change places with you." Grace started. "What can there possibly be to envy in such a lot as mine?"

But the portrait drawn by the poet when at length his eyes were opened, answers but too truly to that of the orator. Few things in all literature are sadder than the spectacle of this trusting and generous spirit withered by the unkindness, as it had been soiled by the favours, of this evil beauty. The life which began in rapturous devotion ends in hopeless gloom.

"Very well we will see about that," he answered, with forced sternness, and leaving the room he went down stairs, feeling much worse than when he went up. Again he seated himself in his large chair and again leaned back his weary head, and closed his heavy eyelids. Sadder was his face than before. As he sat thus, his oldest daughter, in her sixteenth year, came and stood by him.

She dared not, even to herself, deny that; but how could it be his a man who had no thought but of the beggarly elements of life, no aspiration beyond its present enjoyments? and it was by this dreadful overturn in his existence, this taking from him of everything he cared for, that she had been made free. Such a thought as this is more terrible than sorrow, it is sadder than death.

He was appalled to find that the heresies of the Antinomians, Arminians, and Anabaptists had made sadder breaches in the ranks of Cromwell than the pikes of Jacob Astley, or the daggers of the roysterers who followed the mad charge of Rupert. Hastening back to Coventry, he called together his clerical brethren, and told them "the sad news of the corruption of the army."

Lovely when decked with earliest buds of spring, Loveliest when radiant autumn came to fling A glory on each spray. Oh home of praise and prayer! Where glad sweet voices raised the morning hymn, Pleaded for blessing in the twilight dim, Or thrilled the midnight air. Can we forget The meetings and the partings we have known? The welcome glad, the farewell's sadder tone Ah, we remember yet.
