"Wo ist mein pannier?" exclaimed he, giving them the French synonyme. They shook their heads. "Wo ist mein basket?" he cried, giving them English; they shook their heads still harder. "Wo ist mein " "Whew w!" shrieked the steam whistle; "Ding a-ling-ling!" went the bell, and, leaving his question unfinished, W. ran for the cars. In our car was an elderly couple, speaking French.
Captain Bacon, as is known to many of my readers, subsequently engaged in mercantile business in Boston, and for many years, until his death, not long since, his name was the synonyme of mercantile enterprise, honor, and integrity. The name of the chief mate was Stetson. He was a tall, bony, muscular man, about forty years old. He had been bred to the sea, and had served in every capacity.
It was as if a ground-sparrow had changed her gray feathers for the burning plumage of some tropical wanderer; and it was natural enough that Cyprian Eveleth should have called her the fire-hang-bird, and her little chamber the fire-hang-bird's nest, using the country boy's synonyme for the Baltimore oriole.
Meeks's; there's where he generally was when he wasn't at home. It did not occur to Sylvia that she was lying, not even when, later in the afternoon, Horace came home, and she answered his question as to her husband's whereabouts in the same manner.

Food, in its largest sense, is whatever helps to build up the normal structures, or to maintain their natural actions. Medicine, in distinction from food, is every unnatural or noxious agent applied for the relief of disease. Physic means properly the Natural art, and Physician is only the Greek synonyme of Naturalist.
It flashes on every reader whose imagination supplies an unpreoccupied, unrefracting, 'medium' to the Apostolic assertion, that corruption in this passage is a descriptive synonyme of the material sensuous organism common to saint and sinner, standing in precisely the same relation to the man that the testaceous offensive and defensive armour does to the crab and tortoise.
Yet this simple old man had been, but a few years before, the most envied of his race and age; and even in our day at two thousand years' interval, his name is used as a synonyme for the highest point of worldly riches attainable by mankind.
A slave-holder, blessed be God, is not a synonyme of 'oppressor; nor are the slaves as a matter of course 'oppressed. Our people to a great extent think otherwise, and it is useful to see how we appear to others when this error leads us into folly.
Much of whatever expenditure his increasing habits of thrift continue to allow him is bestowed in the reparation or beautifying of places of worship; and this nobleman, whose name was once considered a synonyme of the foul fiend, is now all but canonized as a saint in many pulpits of the metropolis and elsewhere.
