This again corresponds to the prophetic table of nations which were to descend from Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the three sons of Noah. The Civilization of the Ancient World. Just when and where civilization began we have no means of telling. In ages long before Abraham and Moses the world had made great advancement in culture, commerce, law and religion.
But Lordy gracious! hit do look mighty bad, with him a-buyin' all that outfit and loadin' hit in his pappy's buggy; hit do, for shore!" A half-hour later, Brother Japheth, trudging back to Deer Trace on the pike, saw the light in the long-deserted cabin back of the new foundry plant; saw this and was overtaken at the Woodlawn gates by Thomas Jefferson with Longfellow and the buggy.
Meeting with resistance, they had resort to main force. At first, indeed, a large part of the people permitted itself to be blinded by the "beauty of Japheth," and promoted assimilation with the Greeks.
The children of Ham were put down at the bottom, as their noses and their lips pronounced, according to Divine revelation; and for sons of Japheth to break up the noblest nation in the world, on their account, was like rushing in to inherit their curse. As sure as his name was Sampson Gundry, those who had done it would get the worst, though as yet they were doing wonders.
'Well, answered Waring, looking down into her blue eyes as they stood together at the little window, 'it was a watery residence like this, and if Japheth, he was always my favorite of the three had had you there, my opinion is that he would never have come down at all, but would have resided permanently on Ararat.
Now he purifies his eye in the sun, and now he spreads his broad wings in symbolic flight to the West, until lost to the prophetic eye of Japheth, under the bow of splendors set that day in the cloud. God's covenant with man, oh, may the bow of covenant between us be here to-day, that the waters of this flood shall never again threaten our beloved land!
Tom's hand was on the latch of the little gate when two men darted from the shadow of the nearest pillar and flung themselves on him. Japheth saw them first and gave a great yell of warning. Tom turned at the cry, and so was not taken entirely unawares. But the two had beaten him down and were busily searching him when Japheth dashed across the pike, shouting as he ran.
Thomas Jefferson had opened the church-house doors and windows and was out among the unhitched teams looking for Scrap Pendry, who had been one of a score to go forward for prayers the night before. So it happened that he overheard the flat-chested mountaineer's tribute to his mother. It warmed him generously; but there was a boyish scowl for Japheth Pettigrass.
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem," he said, though as a rule the name of God is not joined to the name of a living person, only to the name of one who has departed this life. The relation of Shem to Japheth was expressed in the blessing their father pronounced upon them: God will grant a land of beauty to Japheth, and his sons will be proselytes dwelling in the academies of Shem.
Darton said he was glad of this opportunity, bad as it was, of putting an end to the silence of years, and asked the dairyman what he was travelling that way for. Japheth showed the old jovial confidence in a moment. 'I'm going to see your relations as they always seem to me, he said 'Mrs. Hall and Sally.
