"Not many men like him," remarked one of the miners named Tibbets, admiringly. "I've been told that's what young fellers learn at college," said another miner, as he spat on his hands and raised his pick. For two hours Reade attended to the mending of the walling, as the system of laying walls in shafts is termed. Ladders had to be rebuilt even in order to put temporary walling in place.

He left me his Elzevirs; he left me also his orphan daughter." "Oh! as a wife " "No, as a ward. So she came to live in my house. I am sure there was no harm in it.
But the sea reflects only the vast outline of the headland and the lights of the eternal heaven. "It is Lombard Street to a China orange," quoth Uncle Jack. "Are the odds in favor of fame against failure so great? You do not speak, I fear, from experience, brother Jack," answered my father, as he stooped down to tickle the duck under the left ear.
