Darius Hystaspes, who thus became king in 521, was a good and upright man, in whose reign the Jews ventured to go on with the Temple. When the Samaritans came and stopped them, they wrote to beg that search might be made among the records of the kingdom for Cyrus's decree in their favour, which no one could change, because the laws of the Medes and Persians could not be altered.
At the same time, he took pains to collect and to disseminate among the Medes all the information which he could obtain favorable to Cyrus, in respect to his talents, his character, and his just and generous spirit, so that, at length, the ascendency of Astyages, through the instrumentality of these measures, was very extensively undermined, and the way was rapidly becoming prepared for Cyrus's accession to power.
Herb Heal involuntarily gripped the loaded rifle which lay beside him, he was too wary a woodsman to be unprepared for emergencies; but he did not cock it, for he remembered the law, and the bargain which he had made about to-night. Cyrus's eyes gleamed like fires in a face pale from eagerness, as he strove in a minute of time to take in every feature of the monster before him, from hoof to horn.
As to the king, your father must apply to him; he is our uncle and has a right to ask the hand of Cyrus's daughter for his son." "But have you forgotten your father's dream? You know that Cambyses has always looked on me with suspicion since that time." "Oh, that has been long forgotten.
He was a Mede, and he had been Cyrus's particular friend and playmate when he was a boy, visiting his grandfather in Media. The reader will perhaps recollect that he is mentioned toward the close of our account of that visit, as the special favorite to whom Cyrus presented his robe or mantle when he took leave of his friends in returning to his native land.
Minty's heart gave a great throb. Hiram Trickey had sent home a photograph, which showed him to have become very like the picture of a pirate in Cyrus's old book, with pistols and a dirk at his belt. "Jason, the new minister's daughter has got a white gull's wing on her hat, and it's up in the spare chamber on the bed, and I don't think Sabriny would ever know the difference."
There was hardly a drug store in America in those days that did not offer as its favourite James's crowning triumph, the Magnolia cigarette. A few years later, competition came like a whirlwind, but in the beginning the Treadwell brand held the market alone, and in those few years Cyrus's fortune was made.
"You're not thinking about getting married, then, I reckon?" A dark flush rose to Oliver's forehead, and turning away, he stared with unseeing eyes out of the window. "No. I haven't any intention of that," he responded. A certain craftiness appeared in Cyrus's face. "Well, well, you're young yet, and you may be in want of a wife before you're many years older." "I'm not the kind to marry.
Johnson justly observed, that 'a man is the better for that as long as he lives. There were some books here: a Treatise against Drunkenness, translated from the French; a volume of The Spectator; a volume of Prideaux's Connection, and Cyrus's Travels . McQueen said he had more volumes; and his pride seemed to be much piqued that we were surprised at his having books.
He had, indeed, provided for everything in his future, he was to discover a little later, except for the affable condescension of Mrs. Peachey toward the profession of letters.
