They said he was Sensible, well-informed, and Agreable; we did not pretend to Judge of such trifles, but as we were convinced he had no soul, that he had never read the sorrows of Werter, and that his Hair bore not the least resemblance to auburn, we were certain that Janetta could feel no affection for him, or at least that she ought to feel none.
That ass, Blossom, of the Higginsville Thunderbolt and Battle Cry of Freedom, is down here again sponging at the Van Buren. We observe that the besotted blackguard of the Mud Springs Morning Howl is giving out, with his usual propensity for lying, that Van Werter is not elected.
German literature is represented by the "Sorrows of Werter." Of course, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is widely circulated here, as it is everywhere in countries not given to the "particular vanity" attacked in it. One need hardly say that both literature and education are at a very low ebb in Mexico.

The railway-station adjoining occupies the site of some very old houses, and in the railway-cutting the workmen came upon a sewer, in which were discovered some silver spoons of ancient date. A Baptist chapel in the Werter Road, Oxford Congregational Chapel in the Oxford Road, and Emanuel Church in the Upper Richmond Road, supply the religious needs of the neighbourhood.

'No. 'What did they do? 'Nothing. 'What did Mr Toobad say? 'He said, fifty times over, the devil was come among us. 'And they are gone? 'Yes; and the dinner is getting cold.

"I'll tell you all, my Araminta," whispered Miss Warwick, "when we are by ourselves." "Oh, never mind Nat," whispered Miss Hodges. "Couldn't you tell him," rejoined Miss Warwick, "that he need not wait any longer?"
There's the sun, and we are a good thirteen miles away!" and the prince slapped the neck of his horse, which bounded forward. This tiring pace they maintained until they mounted the hill from which they could see the glittering spires of the city, and the Werter See as it flashed back the sunlight. "Bleiberg!" Maurice waved his hand. "Thanks to you, that I look on it."
