From this testimony of the rocks we perceive that in the geological yesterday, though it may have been some tens of thousands of years ago, the Swiss glaciers, vastly thickened, and with their horizontal area immensely expanded, stretched over the Alpine country, so that only here and there did any of the sharper peaks rise above the surface.
Now he wondered why she visited him thus, and in his vision prayed Allah to make the matter clear. Then of a sudden he saw this same woman standing before him on a Syrian plain, and on either side of her a countless host of Saracens and Franks, of whom thousands and tens of thousands were appointed to death.
Nigel listened calmly while the governor was pronouncing his terrible doom one to which the Church of Rome had already condemned tens of thousands of human beings for simply reading the Bible. Without being allowed to say another word, he was seized by the guards waiting the beck of the governor, and dragged out of the court.
There are articles in the present number which we have read with great interest, and without ever being reminded that they were contributed to a students' journal. The first paper, for instance, "German Student-Life and Travel," is not only well written, but full of excellent suggestions, which show that the writer has reached the age of good sense, whether he count his years by tens or scores.

All the more notable fur-bearing animals, as the fox, the beaver, the otter, have doubtless been persecuted by man and his savage ancestors for tens of thousands of years, and their suspicion of traps and lures, and their skill in eluding them, are the accumulated inheritance of ages.
There are myriads upon myriads of princes in thy realm, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and overseers without number. Let the pettiest of the princes go and fetch the boy and put him in prison."
There were her walls and towers, and there, stained red as though with the blood of its worshippers, soared the great cross upon the mosque of Omar that cross which was so soon to fall. Yes, yonder was the city for which throughout the ages men had died by tens and hundreds of thousands, and still must die until the doom was done.
Fancy those seedy scamps, who in thousands and tens of thousands flock upon every race-course, fancy them and their harlotic companions possessed with the idea of anything fine or noble! Of all who crowd there the horse alone is noble naught could be more ignoble than his entourage. No, moral England! You are no pattern for the nations in this respect.
