Soon after this, another loss was reported to me, and it was at last discovered that an extensive robbery had been committed upon us during the night, and that, in addition to the frying-pan, three cutlasses, and five tomahawks, with the pea of the steelyards, had been carried away. I was extremely surprised at this instance of daring in the natives, and determined, if possible, to punish it.

I am not in the habit of buying butter. To oblige you, I will take this. How much is there of it?" "I don't know. Where are your steelyards?" "Oh," said I, laughing, "I don't carry such things with me. I will take it at your own valuation, and you may go in with your family." "'Tis a bargain," says she. "Go in, galls, and fix yourselves for the con-sort."

"The only decent treatment he got that nicht was frae me, and if I'd let Jimmy hit him, he'd gone through the wall. But there never is anything fra me!" And that was true. There never was. Aloud he said, "Dinna bother to hunt the steelyards, Mary. We winna weigh it until he brings it home." "Yes, and by gum, I'll bring it with this!

"I have myself had something to do with politics," moodily muttered the swine driver, relieving his shoulder of the steelyards. And while this colloquy was proceeding, the herd nestled down upon the ground to rest.

"I've got to spin my stint." "Just one game. Mother won't care." "No; I can't." Submit flew to her spinning wheel in the corner. Jonas, still remonstrating, strolled into the pantry. "I don't believe mother wants you in there," Submit said anxiously. "See here, Submit," Jonas called out in an eager voice, "I'll get the steelyards, and we'll weigh the turkey. We can do it as well as anybody."

These things all took place more than a year ago and another man sets in the high chair, before which I laid Serepta's errents, a man not so hefty mebby weighed by common steelyards, but one of noble weight judged by mental and moral scales. I d'no whether I'd had any better luck if I'd presented Serepta's errents to him.

It is easy to recognize a good composition; to tell why it is good may be difficult; to tell how it could be made better is what the art worker desires to know. Let the student when in doubt weight out his picture in the balances mindful that the principle of the steelyards covers the items in the depth as well as across the breadth of the picture. Every picture is a collection of units or items.

After a number of such apparent exceptions and the ease with which they submitted to the test of absolute balance from the centre, on the scheme of the steelyards, I am now entirely convinced that what writers have termed thevery vague subject of composition,” “the perplexing question of arrangement of parts,” etc., yields to this simplest law, and which, in its directness and clearness, affords the simplest of working rules.

I have twice thrown mine to the dog, but he doesn't seem to thank me for it; so I told the cook he needn't trouble his steelyards for me again." Redman's conversation was interrupted by a noise that seemed to be a ring of the prison bell, and an anxious expression which Manuel gave utterance to, indicated that he expected somebody would come to see him.

The discovery of the method of testing weights by steelyards and balances saves us from fraud, by introducing honest practices into life.
