After death is the judgment, and the issues of eternity depend upon the actions of time; and every fleeting thought comes back to the hand that projected it, like the Australian savage's boomerang that, flung out, returns and falls at the feet of the thrower.
The fourth missile was grasped in his right hand, and he drew it slowly back and sighted carefully at his brother. Victor was a fine thrower, and when the ball flashed from his hand it landed on the top of George's cap and burst into fragments.
The name of the particular hoodlum, like the man who fired the Alexandrian Library, still lies mired in the mud from which he formed the ball that stuck. That ball escaped the fate of the mass because it hit a great man; had the thrower thought only to have attached his name, it might have gone down the ages linked with that of greatness. In a short time Fox found himself in troubled waters.
A lightnin' thrower is a few too many. They'd ruther be nigh a rattlesnake." The scouts had no sleep that night. They sat down by the trail side leaning against a log and lighted their pipes. "You 'member Bill Scott?" Solomon whispered. "Yes. We spent a night in his house." "He were a mean cuss. Sold rum to the Injuns. I allus tol' him it were wrong but my God A'mighty!
But when you see a youth throw the discus with splendid strength, do you praise the discus, or the thrower?" "The thrower," replied Melissa. "But Phoebus Apollo himself guides his chariot with his divine hands." "And astronomers," the Christian went on, "can calculate for years to come exactly where his steeds will be at each minute of the time.
As they grew up, the father of Quiteria made up his mind to refuse Basilio his wonted freedom of access to the house, and to relieve himself of constant doubts and suspicions, he arranged a match for his daughter with the rich Camacho, as he did not approve of marrying her to Basilio, who had not so large a share of the gifts of fortune as of nature; for if the truth be told ungrudgingly, he is the most agile youth we know, a mighty thrower of the bar, a first-rate wrestler, and a great ball-player; he runs like a deer, and leaps better than a goat, bowls over the nine-pins as if by magic, sings like a lark, plays the guitar so as to make it speak, and, above all, handles a sword as well as the best."
In action, the javelin is rarely thrown at a greater distance than six or seven feet, and the heavier weapon is used for "jobbing." Stripped to his waist, the thrower runs forward with all the action of a Kafir, whilst the attacked bounds about and crouches to receive it upon the round targe, which it cannot pierce.
A great oak stood in the middle of the pathway and toward it already a spear or two had been sent, all aimed, as the first thrower had indicated, at a white fungus growth which protruded from the tree. It was a matter of accuracy this time. Ab leaped ahead some yards in advance of all and hurled his spear.
The field work may be slow and steady, but at the bat and on the bases there must be dash and vim. If, for example, it be found that a catcher is a poor thrower, or a pitcher slow in his movements, every fair runner reaching first should immediately attempt to steal second, and even third.
Mr Denham happened to open his door just as the missile was discharged and saw the result, though not the thrower.
