The dire attendants of forlorn Despair, Have Abelard , the young, the gay, remov'd, And in the Hermit funk the man you lov'd, Wrapt in the gloom these holy mansions shed, The thorny paths of Penitence I tread; Lost to the world, from all its int'rests free, And torn from all my soul held dear in thee, Ambition with its train of frailties gone, All loves and forms forget——but thine alone, Amid the blaze of day, the dusk of night, My Eloisa rises to my sight; Veil'd as in Paraclete's secluded tow'rs, The wretched mourner counts the lagging hours; I hear her sighs, see the swift falling tears, Weep all her griefs, and pant with all her cares.

And we are entitled to consider it as a secondary result of the general expressional impulse, that when mastered by an overpowering feeling we seek enhancement or relief by retroaction from sympathisers, who reproduce and in their expression represent the mental state by which we are dominated.

It was not possible, Givens declared, in his slow, emphatic dialect, for a scout and woodsman to lose his way in a country he had once traveled over, and Saunders had either lied to us in the first place, or was laying a trap for us now; therefore all were ready to back Colonel Clark in his evident resolve to make short work of the suspected traitor, unless he speedily found himself.

What I am about to remark is not exactly relevant to my subject; but it is hard to "get the floor" in the world's great debating society, and when a speaker who has anything to say once finds access to the public ear, he must make the must of his opportunity, without inquiring too nicely whether his observations are "in order."

Therewith my father earnestly recommended to Mr. Squills the careful perusal of certain passages in Thucydides, just previous to the outbreak of the Peloponnesian war (Squills hastily nodded the most servile acquiescence), and drew an ingenious parallel between the signs and symptoms foreboding that outbreak and the very apprehension of coming war which was evinced by the recent lo pawns to peace.
