That the very young, left to themselves, will choose many bad or worthless books is shown in the account of a principal of a school in San Francisco, who found that sixty per cent. of the books drawn from the public library by pupils had been dime novels, or other worthless literature.
"A large painting of flowers" her father had been proud of it proud of his worthless wife's work; and when she herself was a little child, had often held her up in his arms to see the shining table-top and touch the caterpillar.
Instantly her face flamed, and the denunciation she launched was quite in the old Clough End and Manchester vein. I was to understand that this person was a mean, designing, worthless creature, a hideous object besides, and "made up," and as to her endeavours to ingratiate herself with Father this and Father that, the worst motives were hinted at.
You must know that I have loved you ever since the first day I saw you, when you laughed at me. Kitty, I want you to marry me and make something of me, if that is possible. I am a worthless fellow, not half good enough for a little pet like you; but, Kitty, if you will only say 'yes, I will try, and try hard, to be a better man than I have ever been before."
Chester, that the Wachners are blackmailers. I am convinced that they discovered something to that poor lady's discredit, and after making her pay drove her away! Just before she left Lacville they were trying to raise money at the Casino money-changer's on some worthless shares. But after Madame Wolsky's disappearance they had plenty of gold and notes."

And now I suppose I'll have to put up with her for a few weeks longer." "Yas'm," Zenie replied weakly. "However" Miss Susie pronounced it as though it were one syllable "I suppose I can't help it. What is it? Boy or girl?"
Just then little Alexander came to show me his bird's nest. Everything else in the garden seemed to him worthless by comparison.

All these things forced me by some mysterious power to look back along the course of my life to the distant days in your father's house I These children!
The most worthless of mankind are not afraid to condemn in others the same disorders which they allow in themselves; and can readily discover some nice difference of age, character, or station, to justify the partial distinction.
We will labor trustingly in the earth, and thoughts of you shall cheer us on; for without you we had been worthless beings, and never known the joy that kindly actions bring. Yes, dear Bud, we will gladly toil among the roots, that the fair flowers may wear their gayest robes to welcome you." Then deep in the earth the Fairies dwelt, and no frost or snow could harm the blossoms they tended.
The servants of the house were already astir, and the day would soon be here. He put his sacred letters carefully away, and destroyed all worthless papers, mechanically, but still methodically. Then he hastily scribbled a few lines, and laid them beside his letters, for Verdayne would be with him now in a few hours. His father yes, his own father!
