She was not made Through years or moons the inner weight to bear, Which colder hearts endure till they are laid By age in earth : her days and pleasures were Brief, but delightful— such as had not staid Long with her destiny ; but she sleeps well By the sea-shore, whereon she loved to dwell.

"Not a tree disturbed even by redskin hand, as I can discover, but everything left in the ordering of the Lord, to live and die according to His own designs and laws! Hurry, your Judith ought to be a moral and well-disposed young woman, if she has passed half the time you...
Сторінка 563 - Occasions, this distance had been miscalculated, and the flames, began to wave their forked tongues in a proximity to the face of the victim that would have proved fatal in another instant, had not Hetty rushed through the crowd, armed with a stick, and scattered the blazing pile in a dozen directions.

Сторінка 146 - ... rain— in the dew on the open grass— the clouds that float about in the blue heavens— the birds that sing in the woods— the sweet springs where I slake my thirst— and in all the other glorious gifts that come from God's Providence!"
