Like Atticus, I have two for seventy cows, one a yearling, the other two years old. When that constellation has risen which the Greeks call Lyra, and we Romans, Fides, I turn the bull into the herd again. The bull indicates whether a male or a female calf has been conceived by the side on which he leaves the cow: if male, on the right; if female, on the left.
He published a rejoinder to Morus's Fides Publica, reiterating his belief that Morus was author of the Clamor, but that it was no matter whether he was or not, since by publishing the book, and furnishing it with a recommendatory preface, he had made it his own.
In this benevolent effort to take the burthen from the proprietors of the genuine Ebony, it is fair that the French coadjutor should have his share of the honour. His name is given as HECTOR BOSSANGE; and his shop, if I rightly remember, adorns the Quai Voltaire. So much then for the front, which is good, except the colour. Nimium ne crede colori, says Mr Reprint; and fronti nulla fides, say I.
I went to the Brooklyn Handicap race yesterday. It is one of the three biggest races of the year, and a man stood in front of me in the paddock in a white hat. Another man asked him what he was "playing." "Well," he said, "I fancy Fides myself." "Fides!" said his friend, "why, she ain't in it. She won't see home.
I doubt whether all those teachers did for Christianity as much as an artist Sienkiewicz did with his charming story, "Quo Vadis?" He aroused so much interest, and so many sympathies even among the unbelievers; I am sure he converted to Christianity many more than any propaganda fides working on a half-political, half-scientific foundation.
"We are very pleased to see you at any time, Captain Griffiths," Philippa said hospitably. "Do sit down, please." Captain Griffiths bowed but remained standing. "It is very near your dinner-time, I know, Lady Cranston," he continued apologetically. "The fact of it is, however, that as Commandant here it is my duty to examine the bona fides of any strangers in the place.
But since we have met, intrust me with any terms of conciliation, and I pledge you the right hand, not of a Roman noble alas! the prisca fides has departed from that pledge! but of a Knight of the Imperial Court, that I will not betray your confidence."
Does the General include among the arts of civilization, that of systematically robbing the Indians of their farms and hunting grounds? If so, no doubt these arts of civilization, must inevitably "destroy the resources of the savage," and "doom him to weakness and decay." The Indians apply the term "Christian honesty," precisely in the same sense that the Romans applied "Punica fides."
Yet no one ever questioned his bona fides, and if he had attended mass at Manitou in the morning, joined a heathen dance in Tekewani's Reserve in the afternoon, and listened to the oleaginous Rev. Reuben Tripple in the evening, it would have been taken as a matter of course.
If the United States were drawn into the war all hope of an early peace would be at an end. "I request to be furnished with instructions on the basis of which I can pacify the Government here, which now has doubts of our bona fides." After Mr.
