The Mysterious Foundling
I WONDER if a history of my life would do any good in this wicked world? That is a question which has agitated my mind and exercised my heart for many, many long months. Some have told me that its publication would produce more injury than good in the community, and others have given quite a contrary opinion. I feel a strong interest in the welfare of my sex, and Heaven knows I would do nothing willingly which might be instrumental in leading it astray from the paths of virtue. I have not lived long beneath our bright skies, but have lived too fast. Yes, kind reader, I have lived too fast! And alas! that I have thus lived! My experience has been brief in deed, but full of the bitter and the sweet. My life has been a web of mingled yarn; and sometimes the skein was so much tangled and twisted that it seemed to me I could never straighten it out! But, thanks to an Unseen, but not Unfelt Power, I have been plucked as a brand from the burning, and rescued from an untimely and dishonorable grave; while others have fallen never to rise again.
The Gambler's League
A number of women, of various ages, were arranged on benches, and some three or four lingered about the door as if they had not been able to find room inside for their accommodation. On the countenances of these was an anxious, loving look; and whenever a genteel person passed by, and chanced to turn his face towards them their eyes shone with momentary pleasure, only to be clouded again with that 'hope deferred which maketh the heart sick'.
The Flower of the Forest
'COME, Henry, my boy, it is time to get up and shake yourself, if you would see the sun rise in this forest, a thing you don't often do in the city, ' said Bill Bushwhack to Henry Herbert. 'The sky's clear as a hound's tooth, the air keen as a razor, and the roosters are now crowing out in the clearings. Come, rouse up and see me yoke my team. Uncle Bob has the pork and molasses and hot cakes about ready to go upon the table.
The Old Distiller
"THIS is, indeed, a very strange world, or rather I should say, there are strange men and women in it," soliloquized Kate Crochet, as she sat before a kitchen fire in Mr. Sharpman's house. "How easy some girls fall in love! Why, the look from a man, even a single look, will make some hearts flutter, but, thank my stars, it is not so with me. I begin to think I shall never love any man in this world, and yet I feel sometimes as if it would be pleasant to be loved, if I did not make any return. I suppose Mike Twattle really believes he loves me, and perhaps he does. There's no telling what to believe from what a man says. His lips may say one thing, and his heart at the same time may mean another. I sometimes wish we were all in the spiritual state, or that we had been created first into that state, for the Swedenborgians say a spirit cannot long remain a hypocrite. His or her real character will soon develop itself; for in the spiritual world a being cannot say one thing and mean another."
The Modern Othello
GLAD to see you Fortescue;-welcome, my dear fellow, to America, the land of the free and home of the brave. Pardon! I should have said 'My Lord;'-'but you know all distinctions and titles are leveled in this nation of Goths.'
The Fair Quakeress
'It is strange that he does when he has money enough, and no children except his son Jasper, ' she said. 'I'm glad you had good sense enough to retire from the cares and perplexities of mercantile life after you accumulated enough to live on.
