"Heed and prof-it by these PRE-CEPTS, dear child-ren, that you may grow up to be great and noble men like those who sub-scribe them-selves, "Pa-ter-nal-ly yours, "You are ad-ver-tis-ed by your lov-ing friends." This startling information, printed in sophomore red on big white placards, flamed from every available space in and about the campus the next morning.
And as she looked, the white, living breakers gradually resolved them-selves out of the dark, thin filmy phosphorescence, and the roar of the lashed sea broke like thunder upon the pebbled beach. She leaned a little more forward, carried away with her fancy that the shrill grinding of the pebbles was indeed the scream of human voices in pain!
Lovers are nowhere against husbands, yet how many thousands of good women lose their husbands every year? If they are poor, they have to hide their grief and work for them-selves and their families; if they are rich, very few people believe that they are really sorry to be widows. Are any poor creatures more jeered at than widows? No man believes they are grieving for the loss of their husbands.
But when they take their stand on a declivity so steep and slippery, nothing short of a miracle can save them. Such is precisely the nature of the danger in which the readers of such books place them-selves.
And now, almost simultaneously, the west wall of the building, and the south wall, and all the southwestern portions of the roof, covered them-selves with voluminous mantles of flame, which increased so hugely and with such savage rapidity that the one stream on the roof was seen to be but a ridiculous and useless opposition.

She walked rapidly forward, casting friendly glances up to the houses to see whether the peasants had not hid them-selves within, and were waiting for her. But all was still, and not one of the inhabitants peeped out from a single window. All at once the stillness was broken by a loud clattering sound.
At the same time, a man who was standing upon a low platform at the other end of the room called out in a quick voice "Attention, children!" and immediately the singing went on again. After the hymn was finished the children seated them-selves, and the gentleman spoke to them about the One who had said "Suffer little children."
And then, if the engagement were indecisive, if any legions wavered, the Roman centurions hurled their colors into the midst of the enemy, and the legionaries dashed on at all risks to recover them. At Parma and Bologna, in the towns taken from the Gauls, Roman colonies came at once and planted them-selves. Day by day did Rome advance.
Other men were at work making knives. Some things people learn out of books, and some things they have to see for them-selves. As he was fond of books, Ben's father thought that it would be a good plan to send him to learn to print them. So the boy went to work in his brother's printing office. Here he passed his spare time in reading.
"Oh, sir," said Susan, a little startled, "it is for me to receive your words, not to judge them." "Humph!" said the reverend gentleman rather dryly; he hated intellectual subserviency. He liked people to think for them-selves; and to end by thinking with him. "Father will never thwart you, sir, and I I will co-operate with you, sir, if you will accept of me," said Susan innocently.
