Sur cela, l’amoureux coulait doucement, tout doucement
ces mots à l’oreille de la fille du roi:
— Douce Dahut, et la clef?
— La clef sera enlevée; le puits sera ouvert: qu’il soit fait
selon vos désirs! —

JONATHAN EDWARDS was born at Windsor, Connecticut, in 1703. He belonged, unlike his great contemporary Franklin in this, to the "Brahmin families" of America, his father being a distinguished graduate of Harvard and a minister of high standing, his mother being the daughter of Solomon Stoddard, a revered pastor of Northampton, Massachusetts, and a religious author of…

But it did matter. It mattered more than anything had ever mattered before.
What bitterness! That the one fear, the one uncertainty, that she had felt, Brian's ache to go somewhere else, should have dwindled to a childish triviality! And with it the quality of the courage and resolution with which she had met it. From the visions and dangers which she now…

I WAS not apprenticed nor ever dwelt in famous
Lincolnshire;
I've served one master ill and well much more than
seven year;
And never took up to poaching as you shall quickly
find;
But 'tis my delight of a shiny night in the season
of the year.

Honored Sir,—Accept my thanks for your friendly lines which have given me great pleasure. The idea which you communicate in them does me honour, but I must admit that I have a certain shyness about it, which I have been unable to get rid of for a considerable time.

Several weeks had passed since the arrival of Revell Stacy's letter with its important message to Ruth, but as a reasonable time had been granted for a decision in so important a matter, a final decision had not been reached, and the serious discussion of the subject from time to time postponed, although Matthew Watson was anxious to send a reply, and had…

The Laminian's wireless-operator sat in his room, three hours later, with his door hooked back against the wall-plates and his window-curtains gently flapping. From its unpainted shelf droned and hummed his dry-battery electric fan. A seaman passed by under the awning, carrying in his hand a cluster of deck-lamps. From the open ventilator-heads came the discordant…

La dernière fois que je vous ai écrit, je l’ai fait fort à la hâte et ai oublié, je crois, de vous parler élections. Le moment approche, et puisque vous êtes déterminé à me placer sur votre liste, je vous serai bien obligé de me faire savoir de temps en temps ce qui se dit et ce qui se fait. Je me doute qu’il y a dans le pays beaucoup de préventions contre…

I HAVE come here from Boston for the simple purpose of manifesting the good will of an eastern institution to this vigorous university in the middle west. I need not remind you of the historical connection between Massachusetts and Kansas, but I should like to express the hope that frequent interchange of academic courtesies may at any rate keep alive the…
