"That child," said Ina, "must not see so much of that Larkin boy. She's just a little, little girl." "Of course she mustn't," said Dwight sharply, "and if I was her mother " "Oh stop that!" said Ina, sotto voce, at the church steps. To every one with whom they spoke in the aisle after church, Ina announced their news: Had they heard? Lulu married Dwight's brother Ninian in the city yesterday.
"Side-glances" is suspicious. It "smells" Transcendentalism, as the French say, and, of all things, any aspect of a clique is to be avoided. That is the negative result of our deliberations; the positive is, that you should identify your name with the paper and called it Dwight's Musical Journal, and you might add, sotto voce, "a paper of Art and Literature."
Dwight's interest in music led him to take a leading part in bringing together, in 1837, those recent graduates of the college who were of like mind with himself; and a society was organized for the purpose of promoting its study. In 1840 the name was changed to that of the "Harvard Musical Association"; in 1845 it was incorporated, and in 1848 the place of meeting was transferred to Boston.
"Well," said Lulu, "but I never thought of it making you both feel bad, or I wouldn't have come home. I knew," she added, "it'd make Dwight feel bad.

As soon as it was over, I looked up and laughed in his face with sheer pleasure." Nothing of the kind was ever half so delightful, if one excepts Mr. Dwight's translation of a Gondel-lied. As literal description it is wondrous, but as imagination it equals the music itself.
For the Nineteenth Corps, Currie's brigade of Dwight's division performed this service during the campaign. The contingency for which Grant and Sheridan were waiting was now close at hand.
Dwight's sending a messenger to the gentlemen of the English embassy at Tabriz, requesting the aid of a takhtirewán, the only native carriage known to the Persians. It resembles a sedan-chair, except in being borne by two mules or horses, and closed from the external air, and in requiring a lying posture. The vehicle soon arrived; but was preceded by Dr.
She was quite aware that there had been a certain amount of deliberation in her own headlong plunge, convinced as she was that high romance belonged to youth alone, and fearful lest it pass her by; aware also that a part of Dwight's halo, aside from his looks and manners and chivalrous charm, consisted in his being a martyr to an unjust fate, and, as such, under the ban of her august family.
There are also sundry old thumb-worn copies of Dr. Dwight's Version of the Psalms of David, "appointed to be sung in churches by authority of the General Association of the State of Connecticut." The sides of Dr.
About forty different works, and more than forty-four thousand volumes and tracts, were issued from the Smyrna depôt during the year 1842. Eight or ten booksellers at the capital were kept constantly supplied, and the products of the press were sent into almost every part of the interior. It is worthy of note that Mr. Dwight's first formal sermon to Armenian women, was in May, 1843.
