The enormous mass of fatuous and useless truth which fills the most widely-circulated papers, such as Tit-Bits, Science Siftings, and many of the illustrated magazines, is certainly one of the most extraordinary kinds of emotional and mental pabulum on which man ever fed.
Grantly's advice; and thus he never alluded to his connexion with the poacher. Enlightened as we are, and intimate with all the hidden secrets of the story, we may be astonished to hear that, notwithstanding all Mr. Grantly's ingenuity, and all the siftings of cross-questioners, the case was clear as light against poor Acton. No alibi, he lived upon the spot.
We have been fondly credulous that there is nothing but ash inside and mere siftings from the fire above; and when, on an occasion, we reach in with a trowel for a scoop of this wood-ash for our roses, we laugh at ourselves for our scare of being nabbed.
They slept, but in fitful starts, and the first gray siftings of light through the desolate darkness found them all gazing drearily at it, for what might a new day signify to them but new dangers, fresh sorrows, and quickened fears. A flush was presently in the east, albeit dusk lingered westward.
When the pots were filled with siftings, they were carried to the river, where they were carefully submerged, and the contents were stirred about with sticks. The light earth was thus flowed over the rims of the pots. The residue was then dried, and the lighter sand was blown away. The result was gold, though of course with a strong mixture of foreign substance.
The French Code has created three essential degrees of criminality inculpe, first degree of suspicion; prevenu, under examination; accuse, fully committed for trial. Thus, persons suspected of crime go through three different stages, three siftings, before coming up for trial before the judges of the upper Court the High Justice of the realm.
Such women do adhere to domestic service, but, broadly speaking, you behold in the servant group merely the siftings of the real industrial class. In a tentative, halting sort of fashion we are learning to humanize the factory and shop.
Nowhere for me, in these extensive minings and siftings. But at no time can the painful critic call it cynicism as of OTHER than an observer; always a kind of vinegar cleanness in it, EXCEPT in theory. O ye poor impious Long-eared, Long-eared I will call you, instead of Two-horned and with only One hoof cloven!
Thirdly, for that he hoped, could he overtake them, to have company by and by. And, in like manner, I am certain that it will encourage and save from despair some who now hear me if I just report to them some of the discoveries and experiences of himself that Samuel Rutherford made among the siftings and buffetings of his Aberdeen exile.
He was conducting his own siftings in high solitude, a lean, bronzed young man, with dark hair and eyes and, at the present moment, an unexhilarated expression. It had been two weeks since Jack Ryder had returned to camp. Two interminable weeks. They were the longest, the dullest, the dreariest, the most irritatingly undelighting weeks that he had ever lived through.
