How he prides himself in sweeping and trimming weekly the pews and benches, which were formerly swept but once in three years, in having the surplice darned, washed and laid up in fresh lavender, better than any other parish, in having discovered a thief with a Bible and key in his love of ringing, in his tutoring young men and maidens to tune their voice as it were with a psaltery, in being invited to the banquets of the Church officers, in the hints he has given to young clergymen, in his loyal attachment to the interests of 'our High Church. Such was the Parish Clerk of the eighteenth century, the personage upon whom the charge of the musical part of the service mainly devolved, whose duty it was to give out the Psalm, to lead it, very commonly to read it out line by line, and frequently to select what was to be sung.
It was the month of May in the year of our Lord 1777, when we of Cherry Valley, in the Province of New York, learned that this same Thayendanega, a pure-blooded Mohawk Indian, whose father was chief of the Onondaga nation, had come into the Mohawk Valley from Canada with a large force of Indians, who, under the wicked tutoring of Sir John Johnson, were ripe for mischief.

She fled back to the garden and, throwing herself, face down, on the dew drenched grass, surrendered to a passion of tearless grief. Ted astonished his uncle, first by coming home a whole day earlier than he had been expected and second, by announcing his intention of seeing Robert Caldwell and making arrangements about the tutoring that very day.
The whole problem of summer mathematics reeks to heaven. It is not enough that a student during eight months of the year will put in all his time on invariants and the theory of numbers. Vacation time finds him at some fashionable resort, tutoring the sons of millionaires in multiplication and quadratic equations."

While this was going on in the drawing-room, Harry was tutoring his father in the study, and putting that poor gentleman through a course of questions that nearly drove him distracted; for Harry got out the hardest books he could find, and selected the most puzzling subjects.
Who ever heard of a decent college offering free tutoring in order to get fellows for its football team?" "Lots of them do," growled Paul. "No, they don't; not decent ones. Some do, I know; but they're not colleges a fellow cares to go to. Every one knows what rotten shape Robinson athletics are in; the papers have been full of it for two years.
Certain of the club members found their spare time fully occupied in tutoring freshmen, while those who were skilled needlewomen were kept busy mending, making silk blouses, kimonos and even simple styles of gowns. Grace had thoughtfully placed a second sewing machine in the sewing room, and it never stood idle.
For had an angel been his discipliner, unless it were for dwelling too much upon Ciceronianisms, and had chastised the reading, not the vanity, it had been plainly partial; first to correct him for grave Cicero, and not for scurril Plautus, whom he confesses to have been reading, not long before; next to correct him only, and let so many more ancient fathers wax old in those pleasant and florid studies without the lash of such a tutoring apparition; insomuch that Basil teaches how some good use may be made of Margites, a sportful poem, not now extant, writ by Homer; and why not then of Morgante, an Italian romance much to the same purpose?
