Стр. 1540 - Drawing the waxed-end through with a jerk, And boring the holes with a comical quirk Of his wise old head, and a knowing smirk. But vainly they mounted each other's backs, And poked through knot-holes and pried through cracks; With wood from the pile and straw from the stacks He plugged the knot-holes and...
Стр. 1435 - I'm to polka as much as I please, And flirt when I like, — now stop, — don't you speak, — And you must not come here more than twice in the week, Or talk to me either at party or ball; But always be ready to come when I call : So don't prose to me about duty and stuff, — If we don't break this off, there will be time enough For that sort of thing; but the bargain must be, That as long as I choose I am perfectly free: For this is a sort of engagement, you see, Which is binding on you, but...
Стр. 1434 - M'Flimsey in vain stormed, scolded, and swore, They footed the streets, and he footed the bills ! The last trip, their goods shipped by the steamer Arago...
Стр. 1547 - Is coarse brown paper, such as peddlers choose To wrap up wares which better men will use. Take next the miser's contrast, who destroys Health, fame and fortune in a round of joys.

Стр. 1542 - An' pay him fur tellin' us that yarn ! " " Agreed ! " Through the orchard they creep back Along by the fences, behind the stack, And one by one, through a hole in the wall, In under the dusty barn they crawl, Dressed in their Sunday garments all; And a very astonishing sight was that, When each in his cobwebbed coat and hat Came up through the floor like an ancient rat And there they hid; And Eeuben slid The fastenings back, and the door undid. " Keep dark ! " said he, " While I squint an' see what...
Стр. 1616 - Then, sir, there is the climate of Duluth, unquestionably the most salubrious and delightful to be found anywhere on the Lord's earth.

Стр. 1434 - Formed, M'Flimsey declares, the bulk of her cargo, Not to mention a quantity kept from the rest, Sufficient to fill the largest-sized chest, Which did not appear on the ship's manifest, But for which the ladies themselves manifested Such particular interest, that they invested Their own proper persons in layers and rows Of muslins, embroideries, worked underclothes, Gloves, handkerchiefs, scarfs, and such trifles as those ; Then, wrapped in great shawls, like Circassian beauties, Gave good-by to...
