The numerous toy villages, with tiny spires projecting out of them, were just as the children might have left them when done with play the day before; the forest tracts were diminished to cushions of moss; one or two big lakes were dwarfed to ponds, the smaller ones to puddles though they did not look like puddles, but like blue teardrops which had fallen and lodged in slight depressions, conformable to their shapes, among the moss-beds and the smooth levels of dainty green farm-land; the microscopic steamboats glided along, as in a city reservoir, taking a mighty time to cover the distance between ports which seemed only a yard apart; and the isthmus which separated two lakes looked as if one might stretch out on it and lie with both elbows in the water, yet we knew invisible wagons were toiling across it and finding the distance a tedious one.
"For example," said the Great Philanthropist, watching the teardrops pattering in the dust, "these early rains are of incalculable advantage to the farmer."

How fatal was the gift which the stranger bestowed! The moment the lips of Midas touched Marygold's forehead, a change had taken place. Her sweet, rosy face, so full of affection as it had been, assumed a glittering yellow color, with yellow teardrops congealing on her cheeks. Her beautiful brown ringlets took the same tint.
When on some strain of music Our thoughts are wafted high; When, touched with tender pity, Kind teardrops dim the eye; When thrilled with scenes of grandeur, Or moved to deeds of love, Do we not give thee worship, O God in heaven above?

The wild roses were in her cheeks now, and the dew of teardrops on her downcast lashes. He said not a word, but laid the letter face downward in her lap. She put it in her pocket and rose to go. "If you need me, Marjie, I have a force to turn loose against your enemies, and ours. And you will need me. As a man in this community I can assure you of that.
For one evening, at least, I can assume a sort of proprietorship over you! Innocent! He looked so mirthful and mischievous that she smiled, though the teardrops still sparkled on her lashes. "Well? What are you thinking of now?" she asked. "I think I really think under the circumstances I ought to kiss you!" he said "Don't you feel it would be right and proper?
You must not take it so to heart. You will not bear it all alone, Nelson. Every friend you have in Polktown will help you." She had come close to him, her hands fluttering upon his breast and her eyes, sparkling with teardrops, raised to his face. "Oh, Janice!" he groaned, and swept her into his arms. That was a very serious Saturday night at the old Day house, as well as at the Beaseley cottage.
I may administer to that noble heart, till " she paused, turning deathly pale, and then clasping his hand in both hers, in bitter agony added, "till we meet in heaven!" "And blissful, dearest saint, will be our union there," replied he, "where soul meets soul, unencumbered of these earthly fetters; and mingles with each other, even as thy tender teardrops now glide into mine!
At the mention of her father’s name the teardrops glistened for a moment in Fanny’s eye, and she felt how gladly she would have foregone all the expected pleasure of that night for the pleasure of again seeing her distant father. She, however, dashed the tears away, and replied, "I fear he would think his Sunshine wholly covered up and spoiled by trumpery, as he calls fashionable dress."
Daily he looks around for fresh victims, and finally decides that the weedy offspring of the hated superior classes are the easiest prey.
