8475Well, I let you, did n''t I?
8475What''s it for?''
8475When I had gone about twenty- three miles, and made four horribly crooked crossings--''''Without any rudder?''

53648Again-- I have been enquired of, what can a man do to make property in Texas?

8473''How much water is there in it?''
8473''Is n''t it easier in toward shore than it is out here in the middle?''
8473''Know how to RUN it?
8473''Who IS I?
8473''Who wants you to get it?
8473''You think so, do you?''
8473And who was it that had the dashing presumption to do that?
8473Are you acting under a law of the concern?''
8473Bixby?''
8473By and by the watchman came back and said--''Did n''t that lunatic tell you he was asleep, when he first came up here?''
8473Did n''t you KNOW there was no bottom in that crossing?''
8473Do you mean to say that you do n''t know as much as they do?''
8473Do you think there is any danger?''
8473Finally one of the managers bustled up to him and said--''Who IS you, any way?
8473How much will it be?''
8473I laid in the lead, set the boat in her marks, came ahead on the engines, and said--''It was a fine trick to play on an orphan, WASN''T it?
8473I suppose you know the next crossing?''
8473Just then the night watchman happened in, and was about to happen out again, when he noticed Ealer and exclaimed--''Who is at the wheel, sir?''
8473Presently he ventured to remark, with deference--''Pretty good stage of the river now, ai n''t it, sir?''
8473So they stepped into the association rooms, and the secretary soon satisfied the captain, who said--''Well, what am I to do?
8473W----, do n''t that chute cut off a good deal of distance?''
8473Well, is n''t there water enough in it now to go through?''
8473Who IS I?
8473Who is you?
8473Who is your other pilot?''
8473Why?''
8473is there no way to save him?''
8471''Did it have its hair parted?''
8471''Edward, did the child look like it was choked?''
8471''Have you got the papers for them statistics, Edmund?''
8471''Him?
8471''How did you get dry so quick?''
8471''Say, Edward, do n''t you reckon you''d better take a pill?
8471''Say-- what did they do with the bar''l?''
8471''WHO was shedding tears?''
8471''Well, Aleck, where did you come from, here?''
8471''Well, never mind how it could cry-- how could it KEEP all that time?''
8471''What are you after here?
8471''What was the brand on that bar''l, Eddy?''
8471''Who are you?''
8471Been dead three years-- how could it cry?''
8471But what did you hide for?''
8471Crippled them how, says you?
8471Going to heave it clear astern?
8471Honest, now, do you live in a scow, or is it a lie?''
8471How can you tell it''s an empty bar''l?"
8471How long have you been aboard here?''
8471I says--''"What''s that?"
8471Looky- here; if we let you off this time, will you keep out of these kind of scrapes hereafter?''
8471Naturally the question suggests itself, Why did these people want the river now when nobody had wanted it in the five preceding generations?
8471To steal?''
8471What IS your name?''
8471What did you come aboard here, for?
8471What was it to me that he was soiled and seedy and fragrant with gin?
8471What''s your name?''
8471You look bad-- do n''t you feel pale?''
8471says Bob;''was it Allbright or the baby?''
8474''Are you aware that this boat was plowing down the river fully five minutes with no one at the wheel?''
8474''Did it knock him down?''
8474''Did n''t YOU hear him?''
8474''Did you follow it up?
8474''Did you pound him much?--that is, severely?''
8474''Did you strike him first?''
8474''Do you know that that is a very serious matter?''
8474''Hard?''
8474''Pounded him?''
8474''What did you do?''
8474''What with?''
8474''What you standing there for?
8474''Where was you born?''
8474AIN''T it now?
8474After a pause--''Where''d you get them shoes?''
8474Brown?''
8474Did n''t Henry tell you to land here?''
8474Did you do anything further?''
8474Do n''t you hear me?
8474Give him a good sound thrashing, do you hear?
8474Going to run over that snag?''
8474I said,"It''s my nature; how can I change it?"
8474Now came this shriek--''Here!--You going to set there all day?''
8474ORDERS, is it?
8474Then--''What''s your name?''
8474Two minutes later--''WHERE in the nation you going to?
8474What was you doing down there all this time?''
8474When the leads had been laid in, he resumed--''How long you been on the river?''
8474Where you going NOW?
8474You going to hold her all day?
8474going to be all DAY getting that hatful of freight out?''
8474why did n''t you tell me we''d got to land at that plantation?''
23155Are you going to murder me?
23155Come,said Grayson, producing materials for writing;"here are pen, ink, and paper: are you willing to write as I dictate?"
23155Do you, indeed?
23155Have you no other''signs of promise''?
23155Is it possible,said she, with some asperity,"that you already care so little for me as to enrol yourself for an absence of six months?"
23155It''s Elwood''s horse, is n''t it?
23155Spread out earth''s holiest records here, Of days and deeds to reverence dear: A zeal like this, what pious legends tell?
23155What do you mean?
23155What for?
23155What_ did_ you mean then?
23155When was he stolen?
23155Whiskey is a pleasant drink, after all, is n''t it?
23155Wo n''t anything else satisfy you but a written certificate?
23155Yes, they are,answered Elwood quickly;"and we are here to know whether you intend to obey the authorities, and leave the country?"
23155[ 49] What had become of this immense population? 23155 And Napoleon, was he aught but an abridgment of the French nation, the sublimate andproof"essence of French character?
23155And if a deadly hatred of the Indian took possession of his heart, who shall blame him?
23155And what more perfect correspondence could be conceived between the moral and intellectual and the physical outlines?
23155In this juncture, what measures does he take?
23155Strengthen his fortifications, and prepare for war, as the men of other nations had done?
23155Such is the wife and mother of the pioneer, and, with such influences about him, how could he be otherwise than honest, straightforward, and manly?
23155The Indian has no humor, no romance-- how could he possess poetical feeling?
23155They were equal to the times in which they lived.--Had they not been so, how many steamboats would now be floating on the Mississippi?
23155We come, finally to the question of the Indian''s fate: What is to become of the race?
23155What was Cromwell but_ the Englishman_, not only of his own time, but of all times?
23155What wonder is it, then, if he was a prime favorite with all the women, or that his advent, to the children, made a day of jubilee?
23155What, then-- to apply the principle-- is the state of this sentiment in the Indian?
23155When Stone manifested some anxiety on the subject, she turned suddenly upon him and demanded--"You do not think our marriage legal, then?"
23155that''s it, is it?
7193Did n''t you want to go in a- swimming, Tom?
7193Hang the boy, ca n''t I never learn anything? 7193 Like it?
7193No-- is that so? 7193 Oh come, now, you do n''t mean to let on that you LIKE it?"
7193Oh, you think you''re mighty smart, DON''T you? 7193 Powerful warm, warn''t it?"
7193Well why do n''t you DO it then? 7193 Well why do n''t you DO it?
7193Well why do n''t you?
7193Well, you SAID you''d do it-- why do n''t you do it?
7193What do I care for your big brother? 7193 What''s gone with that boy, I wonder?
7193What, a''ready? 7193 Why, ai n''t THAT work?"
7193Ah, how would she feel then?
7193Ai n''t he played me tricks enough like that for me to be looking out for him by this time?
7193Ben said:"Hello, old chap, you got to work, hey?"
7193But my goodness, he never plays them alike, two days, and how is a body to know what''s coming?
7193But of course you''d druther WORK-- wouldn''t you?
7193Do n''t you wish you could?
7193Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?"
7193He said:"May n''t I go and play now, aunt?"
7193He wondered if she would pity him if she knew?
7193How much have you done?"
7193Now do n''t you see how I''m fixed?
7193Or would she turn coldly away like all the hollow world?
7193Said she:"Tom, it was middling warm in school, warn''t it?"
7193See?"
7193Then Tom said:"What''s your name?"
7193Then she had a new inspiration:"Tom, you did n''t have to undo your shirt collar where I sewed it, to pump on your head, did you?
7193Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and said:"What do you call work?"
7193Was the sacred presence there?
7193What IS that truck?"
7193What do you keep SAYING you will for?
7193What you been doing in there?"
7193Why do n''t you DO it?
7193Would she cry, and wish that she had a right to put her arms around his neck and comfort him?
7193You think you''re SOME, now, DON''T you?
47262''Ca n''t you drink it?'' 47262 How about the narrow escapes, Captain?"
47262How do you follow a hall at home in the dark? 47262 How much trip before last?"
47262How on earth am I going to learn it, then?
47262Was it worse than going into battle?
47262Why do they not go out and pick out the best men and hire them in a business- like and Christian- like manner?
47262(?
47262And the bankers?
47262Are they clean?
47262But the one question he had to answer, and answer quickly, was:"Will you take it?"
47262But why was n''t it thought of fifty years ago?
47262Chapter XIV_ Early Pilots_"How did the first steamboats find their way up the hundreds of miles of water heretofore unbroken by steam- driven wheel?"
47262Had she a"Texas", or no"Texas"?
47262Had she trimmings on her smokestack, or about the pilot house, and if so of what description?
47262He said:"''What is a person to do here when he wants a drink of water?
47262His answer to the query as to"what is the man in the little house on top of the boat doing?"
47262How could this banker who had come among them for their good, have acquired this money by any other than legitimate transactions?
47262How did he become possessed of all this wealth?
47262How far can you see by such a light?
47262It may be and was asked by Eastern people, unused to river life,"Why do the men submit to such treatment?
47262Then, when his chief asks suddenly:"How much water was there on the middle crossing at Beef Slough last trip"?
47262Was it the savings of years?
47262Was she a side- wheel or stern- wheel?
47262Was she large or small?
47262Were the outside blinds painted white, red, or green?
47262What conditions determine the speed of two boats, all observable terms being equal?
47262What did the young steamboatman see on his voyage from Cairo to Galena in 1823?

47262What man is there among the whites who would not fight under such circumstances?
47262What was the sound of her whistle and bell?
47262What would an old- time bartender have thought of that?
47262When the boy had begun to take on airs as a pilot, his chief suddenly fired the question:"What is the shape of Walnut Bend?"
47262Why do they not throw the mate into the river?"
47262drink this slush?''
8482''And the boy knew it?''
8482''Brothers,''said the leader,''has never any one of you, when fasting, dreamed of some friendly spirit who would aid you as a guardian?''
8482''Dashed who in pieces-- her parents?''
8482''Do you still travel with it?''
8482''Everything about what?''
8482''Have n''t you the least idea?''
8482''Is that so?''
8482''No, indeed,''said one of the others,''do you not know we were all killed, and that it is our sister who has brought us to life?''
8482''Very drunk?''
8482''Who is a great manito?''
8482''Wish you may die in your tracks if you have?''
8482A citizen asked,''Do you remember when Jimmy Finn, the town drunkard, was burned to death in the calaboose?''
8482And above Winona you''ll have lovely prairies; and then come the Thousand Islands, too beautiful for anything; green?
8482And what will become of you?
8482But what can you do?
8482Do you know how the man came to be burned up in the calaboose?''
8482How can I give what I would have done with so much pleasure?
8482I do n''t mean HIS act, I mean yours: would you be a murderer for letting him have that pistol?''
8482I said, with admiration--''Why, how in the world did you ever guess it?''
8482I said--''What is the matter?''
8482Is she the maiden of the rock?--and are the two connected by legend?''
8482Now, is that boy a murderer, do you think?''
8482Presently he asked--''Are you going to give him up to the law?''
8482Quick-- out with it-- what did I say?''
8482The burden of my thought was, How much did I divulge?
8482The chief, looking around, and observing the woman, after some time said to the man who came with her:''Who have you got there?
8482The man was drunk?''
8482Well, would it be murder?''
8482What became of Winona?''
8482What was to be done''?
8482Why?
8482in this town?''
8482profit?
8482who can this be he is leading us to?''
8482who is a manito?
7147Had not the French a right both of prior discovery and prior settlement?
7147Very much obliged?
7147When did La Salle settle?
7147And the future?
7147And the product?

7147Are there athletes?
7147Are there crops of fine youths and majestic old persons?
7147Are there perfect women to match the generous material luxuriance?
7147As to the proclamation, Parkman asks, what now remains of the sovereignty it so pompously announced?
7147But who are the people who are to control?
7147Is there a great moral and religious civilization-- the only justification of a great material one?
7147Is there a pervading atmosphere of beautiful manners?
7147Is this colorless, insipid"social consistency"the best wine that the valley can offer of its early vintages?
7147Is this what democracy, undefiled of aristocratic conditions and traditions, has produced?
7147Mistakes, disappointments, crudities, infidelities?
7147Only those who are living and of electoral age and other qualification?
7147Shall they be praised the more that they did not for a century venture beyond the sources of those streams?
7147The first question of that western valley is,"Who is he?"
7147Was its name indeed to be written only in the water which their canoes traversed?
7147What claim has the past as against the needs of industry in the present?
7147What shall I say of his wealth?
7197And Joe?
7197And me, too?
7197And me?
7197And then-- and then-- well I wo n''t be certain, but it seems like as if you made Sid go and-- and--"Well? 7197 Are you sure you did, Tom?"
7197Auntie, what have I done?
7197Benjamin Rogers, did you tear this book?
7197DID you kiss me, Tom?
7197Did you? 7197 Gracie Miller?"
7197How could I know you was looking at anything?
7197I did come-- didn''t you see me?
7197Joseph Harper, did you?
7197Oh, may I come?
7197Oh, you do, do you? 7197 Say, now, would you, if you''d thought of it?"
7197Susan Harper, did you do this?
7197Well, try to recollect-- can''t you?
7197What bark?
7197What did you come for, then?
7197What did you kiss me for, Tom?
7197Would you, Tom?
7197And then what?
7197But it ai n''t reasonable; because, why did n''t you tell me, child?"
7197Did you dream any more?"
7197Did you?
7197I wo n''t ever, ever do that way again, as long as ever I live-- please make up, wo n''t you?"
7197That''s something, ai n''t it?"
7197The first composition that was read was one entitled"Is this, then, Life?"
7197The master scanned the ranks of boys-- considered a while, then turned to the girls:"Amy Lawrence?"
7197Then he spoke:"Who tore this book?"
7197Tom thought,"Oh, hang her, ai n''t I ever going to get rid of her?"
7197Tom was so stunned that he had not even presence of mind enough to say"Who cares, Miss Smarty?"
7197Well?
7197What did I make him do, Tom?
7197What did I make him do?"
7197What did he say, Tom?"
7197What did you dream?"
7197When is it going to be?"
7197Where did you sit?"
7197Who''s going to give it?"
7197You going to have all the girls and boys?"
7197You holler''nough, do you?
7197you bad girl, why did n''t you come to Sunday- school?"
7200And kill them?
7200Ca n''t let me in, Tom? 7200 Have the which?"
7200Hey, Huck!--you hear that?
7200Huck, I would n''t want to, and I DON''T want to-- but what would people say? 7200 Is it far in the cave?
7200NOW where''s your Number Two? 7200 Now, Tom, hain''t you always ben friendly to me?
7200Secret about what, Sid?
7200Sid, was it you that told?
7200Sid, what ails Tom?
7200Tom, have you got on the track of that money again?
7200Tom-- honest injun, now-- is it fun, or earnest?
7200Well, what?
7200What orgies?
7200What''s a ransom?
7200What''s that?
7200Why?
7200Will you, Tom-- now will you? 7200 YOU followed him?"
7200''UNDER THE CROSS,''hey?
7200Ai n''t you and the widow good friends?"
7200And who''ll we rob?"
7200Are you strong enough?"
7200But do you see that white place up yonder where there''s been a landslide?
7200Did n''t you let me go for a pirate?"
7200Did this drop fall patiently during five thousand years to be ready for this flitting human insect''s need?
7200Do n''t you remember you was to watch there that night?"
7200Do you see that?
7200Got bricks in it?--or old metal?"
7200Has everything a purpose and a mission?
7200Injun Joe was believed to have killed five citizens of the village, but what of that?
7200Just as they were about to move on, the Welshman stepped out and said:"Hallo, who''s that?"
7200Now, what''s that for?
7200Oh, good- licks; are you in real dead- wood earnest, Tom?"
7200Say-- ain''t this grease and clay, on your clothes?"
7200Tom Sawyer''s Gang-- it sounds splendid, do n''t it, Huck?"
7200Tom poured the mass of yellow coin upon the table and said:"There-- what did I tell you?
7200What do you want to be afraid for?"
7200What was the matter with you, Tom?"
7200What''s all this blow- out about, anyway?"
7200When do you say?"
7200When you going to start the gang and turn robbers?"
7200Will you go in there with me and help get it out?"
7200You would n''t do that, now, WOULD you, Tom?"
7200You would n''t shet me out, would you, Tom?
7200and has it another important object to accomplish ten thousand years to come?
7200and leave the treasure?"
7200what do you want to slope for?"
8472''Do n''t KNOW?''
8472''Do you give it as an order?''
8472''How on earth am I ever going to learn it, then?''
8472''Indeed?
8472''Learn a new set, then, every year?''
8472''Now do n''t you see the difference?
8472''Pretty square crossing, an''t it?''
8472''What DO you know?''
8472''What''s the name of the NEXT point?''
8472''Why?''
8472''Why?''
8472''Yes, but suppose the leads lie?
8472''You did n''t?
8472''You-- you-- don''t know?''
8472And does n''t he sometimes wonder whether he has gained most or lost most by learning his trade?
8472Are not all her visible charms sown thick with what are to him the signs and symbols of hidden decay?
8472Are there many of them?''
8472Did n''t I tell you that a man''s got to know the river in the night the same as he''d know his own front hall?''
8472Did you ever know of a boat following a bend up- stream at this stage of the river?''
8472Do you see that stump on the false point?''
8472Do you see where the line fringes out at the upper end and begins to fade away?''
8472Does he ever see her beauty at all, or does n''t he simply view her professionally, and comment upon her unwholesome condition all to himself?
8472Have I got to learn the shape of the river according to all these five hundred thousand different ways?
8472He opened on me after this fashion--''How much water did we have in the middle crossing at Hole- in- the- Wall, trip before last?''
8472How am I ever going to tell them apart?''
8472How do you reckon I can remember such a mess as that?''
8472How high was the bank along here last trip?''
8472Is the river rising or falling?''
8472Meet any boats?''
8472Mr. Bixby said to the mate:--''Upper end of the plantation, or the lower?''
8472One day he said--''What is the height of that bank yonder, at Burgess''s?''
8472One day he turned on me suddenly with this settler--''What is the shape of Walnut Bend?''
8472One visitor said to another--''Jim, how did you run Plum Point, coming up?''
8472Presently he turned on me and said:--''What''s the name of the first point above New Orleans?''
8472So he began--''Do you see that long slanting line on the face of the water?
8472The voice of the invisible watchman called up from the hurricane deck--''What''s this, sir?''
8472We are drawing-- how much?''
8472What are you standing up through the middle of the river for?''
8472What did you suppose he wanted to know for?''
8472What do you start out from, above Twelve- Mile Point, to cross over?''
8472What do you suppose I told you the names of those points for?''
8472What does that signify?''
8472Why, what could you want over here in the bend, then?
8472Will it keep the same form and not go fooling around?''
8472an''t the new cub turned out yet?
40143But what shall I say of his riches? 40143 So you will not give them to me?"
40143Where are all your Illinois warriors, and where are the sixty Frenchmen that you said were among them?
40143''And how would you have me tell you,''said I,''when you never tell me what you mean to do?''
40143--_Lettre de la Salle, 22 Août, 1682_( 1681?
40143--_Lettre( à Thouret?
40143And in what spirit did he embrace these designs?
40143And now, while I am speaking, could we not put your old men to death, while your young warriors are all gone away to hunt?
40143As La Salle surveyed this scene of havoc, one thought engrossed him: where were Tonty and his men?
40143But how was La Salle employed in the following year?
40143But were not the Illinois jealous?
40143But what did this new Paraguay mean?
40143But where was the"Griffin"?
40143Did he bend before the storm?
40143Do n''t you know that this man is impenetrable, and that there is no knowing what he thinks of one?
40143Do you not see that when we first came among you, and your camp was all in confusion, we could have killed you without needing help from the Iroquois?
40143Had they not been deluded by lies?
40143Here, then, was the town; but where were the inhabitants?
40143His colony had sprung up, as it were, in a night; but might not a night suffice to disperse it?
40143How can it be that I do not talk with them?
40143If he told the truth, why did he skulk away in the dark?
40143Marie.--The Mystery of La Salle: he discovers the Ohio; he descends the Illinois; did he reach the 19 Mississippi?
40143Marie.--The Mystery of La Salle: he discovers the Ohio; he descends the Illinois; did he reach the Mississippi?
40143Motantees(?
40143Of what avail to plant a colony by the mouth of a petty Texan river?
40143Pah- Utahs(?
40143Pahoutet( Pah- Utahs?
40143The Wisconsin, the Illinois, the Ohio, the Des Moines(?
40143The extracts given in the foregoing chapter are from La Salle''s long letters of 29 Sept., 1680, and 22 Aug., 1682( 1681?).
40143Through what regions did it flow; and whither would it lead them,--to the South Sea or the"Sea of Virginia;"to Mexico, Japan, or China?
40143What did he do after he left the two priests?
40143What manner of man was he who could conceive designs so vast and defy enmities so many and so powerful?
40143What manner of men were these who had pierced the secret places of the wilderness to riot in mutual slaughter?
40143What now remains of the sovereignty thus pompously proclaimed?
40143What was this purpose?
40143What were the Jesuits doing?
40143Who could doubt that these strangers were Chinese or Japanese?
40143Why did he not show himself by day?
40143[ 171] FOOTNOTES:[ 163]_ Lettre de La Salle à un de ses associés_( Thouret?
40143[ 200] Why had he not told it before?
40143[ 205] Such being the case, what faith can we put in the rest of Hennepin''s story?
40143[ 288] But why did he not examine it?
8477''Ah-- stabbed, do you mean?''
8477''Brandy?
8477''Carried the WHOLE town away?-banks, churches, jails, newspaper- offices, court- house, theater, fire department, livery stable EVERYTHING?''
8477''Dead?''
8477''Failed to escape?--caught in the act and shot?''
8477''Go ashore where?''
8477''How, then?''
8477''Napoleon?''
8477''No?
8477''Serious?
8477''Well, by---?''
8477''Why does he mix such elaborate and picturesque drinks for the nigger hands on the boat?''
8477''Why, hang it, do n''t you know?
8477And where so many are saying their say, shall not the barkeeper testify?
8477But if he wait?
8477Ca n''t a man go ashore at Napoleon if he wants to?''
8477Can you divine what my first thought was?
8477Could you have endured an hour of it, do you think?
8477Did I appeal to the law-- I?
8477Does it quench the pauper''s thirst if the King drink for him?
8477From them might not almost anybody reproduce for himself the life of that time in Vicksburg?
8477Good liquors?
8477How accomplish this, do you say?
8477How strangely things repeat themselves, after long years; for MY hands were tied, that night, you remember?
8477I said--''Come, what is all this about?
8477I said--''What, then-- didn''t he escape?''
8477If he make ten voyages in succession-- what then?
8477On the other boats?
8477Presently the poet inquired--''Are you going to send it to him right away?''
8477Rogers said--''Who would have had ANY if it had n''t been for me?
8477So I inquired about this thing; asked what resulted usually?
8477Take a look behind you-- up- stream-- now you begin to recognize this country, do n''t you?''
8477The captain laughed; but seeing that I was not in a jovial mood, stopped that and said--''But are you serious?''
8477This man had kept a diary during-- six weeks?
8477Three hours--?
8477What happened, then?''
8477What was my idea in this nonsense?
8477What, you can not?
8477You give a nigger a plain gill of half- a- dollar brandy for five cents-- will he touch it?
8477Your teeth chatter-- then why can not you shout?
8477profit?''
47351''Do you think so, sir?'' 47351 And what books have you read?"
47351And what use will you make of their language?
47351How long have you read law?
47351Whither is the white man going?
47351Why do you go among the Indians?
47351Why does the paleface travel such unknown roads? 47351 Will you not take the oath?"
47351And what more, pray, could be done than this to advance the interests of the United States hereabouts?
47351And where were the millions of money, the men, and the arms to come from that should prevent final annihilation?
47351But that was not the vital question; the vital question was, Could it grow?
47351But there was a very important question to be settled immediately; did Kentucky belong to Virginia or was it independent?
47351Could it mock the European doctrine that, in time, mountains inevitably become boundaries of empires?
47351Could the New Englanders do equally well?
47351Could the new master, this infant Republic,"one nation to- day, thirteen to- morrow,"do better?
47351Did they know too well the herculean toils that such work demanded?
47351How free now would they be?
47351If a short road was practicable, why not a long one?
47351In the many expeditions to the westward of the Alleghanies in America what commanders turned their attention later to the regions subdued?
47351Is it not of interest that the famed Cumberland Road was not built to connect two large Eastern cities, or a seaport or river with a city?
47351Maryland hesitated; could Baltimore be connected by canal with the Potomac Valley?
47351Shall not a more appropriate token of our esteem replace the little slab that now marks that hallowed grave?
47351The question was raised,"Shall we take our prisoners to Pittsburg, or kill them?"
47351Was it to hinder or help the occupation of the land on the part of rival spirits?
47351Was it to strengthen or weaken America''s claim to the empire of Oregon?
47351Were those dreams true?
47351What if other national roads proposed-- through the South and northward from Washington to Buffalo-- should demand equally large sums?
47351What if the fund produced from the sales of land was not sufficient to build the road?
47351What was its political status?
47351Which party would Congress listen to if the public treasury was not in a position to satisfy both applicants?
47351Who before him ever had the temerity to suggest that ships would descend the Ohio River and sail for foreign ports?
47351Would he like the country?
47351Would he want the other members of the family to emigrate there too?
47351Would he wish to stay in the West?
47351Yet against what human motive may not the accusation of self- interest be cast?
9153Good, said I; but why bring you the Calumet of Peace to me? 9153 Why,"continued he, with an air of displeasure,"did the French come into our country?
9153After both the old men are fully rested, they rise, and the bridegroom and bride appearing before them, they ask them, if they love each other?
9153After this example, can one hope for labour from negroes, who very often are in want of necessaries?
9153Are there any Mines, say they, in this province?
9153Before they came, did we not live better than we do, seeing we deprive ourselves of a part of our corn, our game, and fish, to give a part to them?
9153Besides, added they, had Biainville received our enemies, should we go to demand them?
9153But the crystal sand, which is pernicious to the sight by its whiteness, might it not be adapted for making some beautiful composition or manufacture?
9153But the physicians of this Chief, who visited him every day, asked the Frenchman what time the cure would take?
9153But they are not settled there as yet; and who could hinder us from making advantageous settlements in that country?
9153But ye yourselves, said I, whence are ye come?
9153But you will say, Why do they not?
9153Can one expect fidelity from a man, who is denied what he stands most in need of?
9153For the planks of ships, there is no want of oak; but might not very good one be made of cypress?
9153Have the French two hearts, a good one today, and tomorrow a bad one?
9153Have they not{ 77} already done so to one of our young men; and is not death preferable to slavery?"
9153Have you forgot the way; or is my house disagreeable to you?
9153Here he paused a while, and after taking breath, proceeded thus:"What wait we for?
9153How ought we then to value such rich and healthful countries on the Missisippi?
9153I accordingly called to him, and said,"We were formerly friends, are we no longer so?"
9153I am not capable of changing, why then are you changed?"
9153I asked the deputies, what they would have?
9153If the English build ships in their colonies{ 180} from which they draw great advantages, why might not we do the same in Louisiana?
9153If we view these nations with an eye to commerce, what advantages might not be derived from them, as to furs?
9153If you ask those masters, why they bestow so much pains upon beasts?
9153In what respect, then, had we occasion for them?
9153Ought we to continue tributaries to them in this respect, when we can so easily do without them?
9153Shall we suffer the French to multiply, till we are no longer in a condition to oppose their efforts?
9153The bridegroom then addresses the bride;"Will you have me for your husband?"
9153The sentinel enquired, who commanded the vessel?
9153Was it for their guns?
9153Was it for their white, blue, and red blankets?
9153We go to the East- Indies for the rice we consume in France; and why should we draw from foreign countries, what we may have of our own countrymen?
9153We have done so; is not this true?
9153What can we then believe of those stories that have been told us of the crocodile?
9153What commerce might not be made with Silk?
9153What occasion then had we for Frenchmen?
9153What will the other nations say of us, who pass for the most ingenious of all the Red- men?
9153When he enters the hut, the old man on the part of the bridegroom says to him in their language,_ are you there?_ to which he answers,_ yes_.
9153When you enter into their hut, they welcome you with the word of salutation, which signifies"Are you there, my friend?"
9153Why then wait we any longer?
9153Would it not be more suitable and more useful, to devise means of drawing the same commodities from our own colonies?
9153and if they are willing to take one another for man and wife?
9153or, if we did, would they be given up?
7199Can you find the way, Tom? 7199 Could you see the rags by the light of the cigars?"
7199Do it NOW? 7199 Do you remember this?"
7199How''ll she ever know?
7199How?
7199I wonder how long we''ve been down here, Tom? 7199 Joe Harper, have you seen my Tom this morning?"
7199Kill? 7199 Lordy, what did you do?
7199Say, Tom, did you see that box?
7199Tom, it might be dark then-- would they notice we had n''t come?
7199Well, Becky?
7199What!--what''d you see, Tom?
7199What''s the row there? 7199 When did you see him last?"
7199When would they miss us, Tom?
7199Why, who are you?
7199Yes,with a startled look--"didn''t she stay with you last night?"
7199Your Becky?
7199And company there?
7199And why should he give it up, he reasoned-- the signal did not come the night before, so why should it be any more likely to come to- night?
7199But what could she be crying about?
7199But what did give you that turn?
7199But why do n''t you want it known?"
7199But you could n''t see what they were like, in the dark, lad, I suppose?"
7199By- and- by somebody shouted:"Who''s ready for the cave?"
7199Did he wake up?"
7199Did you hear that?"
7199Do n''t you see, now, what''s the matter with that ha''nted room?"
7199Do you understand that?
7199HORSEWHIPPED!--do you understand?
7199Huck started up in bed, wild- eyed:"What?
7199If she bleeds to death, is that my fault?
7199Maybe ALL the Temperance Taverns have got a ha''nted room, hey, Huck?"
7199Now, where you going to sleep?"
7199Now-- this way-- now you see, do n''t you?"
7199The old man promised secrecy once more, and said:"How did you come to follow these fellows, lad?
7199Then Becky reflected a moment and said:"But what will mamma say?"
7199Then he said:"Becky, can you bear it if I tell you something?"
7199They found none, but captured a bulky bundle of--"Of WHAT?"
7199Was it Tom Sawyer that found it?"
7199Was there any use?
7199Was there really any use?
7199Were they looking suspicious?"
7199What do you want?"
7199What was it?"
7199What were YOU expecting we''d found?"
7199Who said anything about killing?
7199Who''d''a''thought such a thing?
7199Who''s banging?
7199Why call Tom now?
7199Why did n''t you come and wake me?"
7199Why not give it up and turn in?
7199Why, what''s the MATTER with you?"
7199You go back and watch that long, will you?"
7199Your mother wo n''t know, and so what''s the harm?
12068''What regiment do you belong to?'' 12068 Ah, I beg your pardon; but what is your impression of Fort Donelson?"
12068Are you sure of that?
12068Battle sure to come off-- is it?
12068But how is it when a negro, by working nights or Saturdays, manages to make something for himself?
12068Can you tell me on which days he gave you each ticket?
12068Certainly we are,responded another;"but who will represent us?"
12068Come back here,said the officer;"what do you mean by this?"
12068D-- n your friends,said the guerrilla leader;"I suppose they are Yankees?"
12068Did you earn all these this week?
12068Do you dislike the Black Republicans very much?
12068Do you see that young man crossing the street toward----''s store?
12068How did you cross the river, gentlemen?
12068How do you know?
12068How far are you firing?
12068If it was given to them,I asked,"was it not theirs to sell?"
12068Is it possible?
12068Is the plan arranged?
12068No,we responded;"what is it?"
12068That is very true; but how was it at Shiloh?
12068Them round things? 12068 Then why ai n''t you killed, too, you d----d coward?"
12068Then why should n''t you pay me ten dollars every time I''tend upon the black folks on the plantation?
12068What are you doing here?
12068What are you doing there?
12068What kind of a Union man are you?
12068What''s you- uns come down here to fight we- uns for?
12068What_ are_ you crying for, then?
12068Where did you come from?
12068Where is K----, and where is Colburn?
12068Where were they from?
12068Which one did he give you to- day?
12068Whisky, is n''t it?
12068White people are free, too, ai n''t they?
12068Who comes there?
12068Who will we send? 12068 Will some of you learned ones tell me,"said he,"what is the Latin word for_ true_?"
12068After a little preliminary talk, one of them said:"Are you aware, general, there is no law of the State allowing you to make a cut- off, here?"
12068After a pause, she spoke again:"Did n''t you say the black people are free?"
12068After some desultory conversation, he threw out the question:--"What does martial law do?"
12068An Arkansas colonel was in bed when the order reached him, and lazily asked,"Is that official?"
12068As soon as he could speak, he asked, breathing between, the words--"Have you heard the news?"
12068But, pray, what do you consider the capture of Island Number Ten and the naval battle here?"
12068By- the- way, Mr. K----, how did you come over?"
12068Do you think, if I put them with yours, there is any danger of their straying, on account of being on a strange place?"
12068Does any soldier, who reads this, imagine himself tendering his resignation in the above manner with any prospect of its acceptance?
12068He promptly replied:"The parish of Madison gave a large majority in favor of secession; did it not?"
12068If the deeds of which the Rebels were guilty are characteristic of chivalry, who would wish to be a son of the Cavaliers?
12068Is it not acknowledged everywhere that a man shall be tried by his peers?"
12068K----?"
12068Mysteries of Mule- trading.--"What''s in a Name?"
12068Mysteries of Mule- trading.--"What''s in a Name?"
12068Once I asked a rough- looking farmer,"How far is it to Sand Springs?"
12068Should it banish me from that spot, or should I receive an official censure?
12068Who can resist the questions of a woman, even though she be an uneducated and unkempt Missourian?
12068Who could believe in the existence of a reliable countryman, after that?
7195Do you though?
7195Hucky, do you das''t to go if I lead?
7195Look here, what does this mean?
7195Lord, how is this, Joe?
7195No--''tain''t so, is it?
7195Now, sir, what did you want to treat that poor dumb beast so, for?
7195Then art thou indeed that famous outlaw? 7195 They do, do they?"
7195Tom, what on earth ails that cat?
7195Tom,whispered Huckleberry,"does this keep us from EVER telling--ALWAYS?"
7195What are you talking about? 7195 What did you do it for?"
7195What is it, Huck?
7195What is it, Tom?
7195What is it?
7195What you got on your mind, Tom?
7195What''s the reason he do n''t know it?
7195What''s verdigrease?
7195Which of us does he mean?
7195Who art thou that dares to hold such language?
7195Who''s accused you?
7195Who? 7195 Why did n''t you leave?
7195You DO?
7195After another reflective silence, Tom said:"Hucky, you sure you can keep mum?"
7195By and by their pulses slowed down, and Tom whispered:"Huckleberry, what do you reckon''ll come of this?"
7195Can you pray?"
7195Could it be possible that she was not aware that he was there?
7195D''you reckon he could see anything?
7195D''you reckon he knowed anything?"
7195Did he before?"
7195Did n''t Gracie Miller fall in the kitchen fire and burn herself terrible the very next Saturday?"
7195Did n''t you hear it?"
7195Did you think I''d forget?
7195Do n''t you remember?
7195He saw Injun Joe, and exclaimed:"Oh, Injun Joe, you promised me you''d never--""Is that your knife?"
7195How can he tell?"
7195It''s awful solemn like, AIN''T it?"
7195NOW who can he mean?"
7195S''pose something happened and Injun Joe DIDN''T hang?
7195So he said in a whisper:"Hucky, do you believe the dead people like it for us to be here?"
7195Tell WHAT?
7195Tell me, Joe-- HONEST, now, old feller-- did I do it?
7195Then Tom whispered:"Say, Hucky-- do you reckon Hoss Williams hears us talking?"
7195Think they''ll see us?"
7195Tom thought a while, then he said:"Who''ll tell?
7195We''d drop down dead-- don''t YOU know that?"
7195We?"
7195What did make him act so?"
7195What did you want to come here for?"
7195What had he done?
7195What has that got to do with it?"
7195What if he turned his back, now, and disappeared mysteriously?
7195What is it you''ll tell?"
7195What kin they be up to?"
7195What''ll we do?"
7195What''s that?"
7195Where''bouts is it, Huck?"
7195Who comes here into Sherwood Forest without my pass?"
7195Who does he mean?"
7195Who?"
7195Why do n''t you fall yourself?
7195Why do n''t you fall?"
7195Why had he not been called-- persecuted till he was up, as usual?
7195You WON''T tell, WILL you, Joe?"
7198''Bout what?
7198Any one with you?
7198Do n''t they come after it any more?
7198Do they hop?
7198Get me to tell? 7198 Have you got one of them papers, Tom?"
7198Huck, have you ever told anybody about-- that?
7198HyroQwhich?
7198Is it under all of them?
7198Never a word?
7198No?
7198Revenge? 7198 Richard?
7198Save it? 7198 Say, Huck, if we find a treasure here, what you going to do with your share?"
7198Talk? 7198 Then how you going to know which one to go for?"
7198Thomas Sawyer, where were you on the seventeenth of June, about the hour of midnight?
7198Well then, how you going to find the marks?
7198Well, I never said I was, did I? 7198 Well, ai n''t you going to save any of it?"
7198Well, what did you say they did, for?
7198Well, what of that? 7198 Well-- if you say so; what''ll we do with this-- bury it again?"
7198Were you anywhere near Horse Williams''grave?
7198Were you hidden, or not?
7198What ai n''t a dream?
7198What is it?
7198What is it?
7198What is the talk around, Huck? 7198 What''ll it be?"
7198What''s a YEW bow?
7198What''s that?.
7198Where''ll we dig?
7198Where?
7198Who hides it?
7198Why, is it hid all around?
7198Why, robbers, of course-- who''d you reckon? 7198 After a pause:Huck, they could n''t anybody get you to tell, could they?"
7198Anyway, what''s her name, Tom?"
7198But anyway they do n''t come around in the daytime, so what''s the use of our being afeard?"
7198But say-- where you going to dig first?"
7198But wo n''t the widow take it away from us, Tom?
7198Can you get out?"
7198Did they fight?"
7198Did this attorney mean to throw away his client''s life without an effort?
7198Do n''t you feel sorry for him, sometimes?"
7198Do you know Robin Hood, Huck?"
7198Do you reckon they can be up- stairs?"
7198Follow?
7198Hain''t you ever seen one, Huck?"
7198Have you heard anybody?--seen anybody?
7198He gathered himself up cursing, and his comrade said:"Now what''s the use of all that?
7198Hear it?"
7198How near were you?"
7198How''s that?"
7198Huck said:"Do they always bury it as deep as this?"
7198If it''s anybody, and they''re up there, let them STAY there-- who cares?
7198If they want to jump down, now, and get into trouble, who objects?
7198Is that so?"
7198Now what you going to do?"
7198Presently he said:"Who could have brought those tools here?
7198S''pose we tackle that old dead- limb tree on the hill t''other side of Still- House branch?"
7198Sunday- school sup''rintendents?"
7198The poor fellow had got the attorney to promise secrecy, but what of that?
7198Tom was impatient to go to the haunted house; Huck was measurably so, also-- but suddenly said:"Lookyhere, Tom, do you know what day it is?"
7198What business has a pick and a shovel here?
7198What business with fresh earth on them?
7198What did you take there?"
7198What do you reckon it is?"
7198What do you think?"
7198What for?"
7198What makes you ask?"
7198What you going to do with yourn, Tom?"
7198What''ll we do with what little swag we''ve got left?"
7198What''s his other name?"
7198What''s the name of the gal?"
7198Who brought them here-- and where are they gone?
7198Who did he rob?"
7198Who''s Robin Hood?"
7198You mean Number One?"
7198bury it again and leave them to come and see the ground disturbed?
7198have I been asleep?"
7194Becky, wo n''t you say something?
7194Did he say anything?
7194Do you? 7194 Everybody?"
7194Good for? 7194 Have you?
7194In the daytime?
7194Kiss? 7194 Like?
7194Look here, Joe Harper, whose is that tick?
7194Oh, auntie, I''m--"What''s the matter with you-- what is the matter with you, child?
7194Oh, will you? 7194 Oh, you do n''t, do n''t you?
7194Say, Hucky, when you going to try the cat?
7194Say-- what is dead cats good for, Huck?
7194Shall I tell YOU?
7194Tom, why did n''t you wake me sooner? 7194 Was you ever at a circus?"
7194Well, what of it? 7194 Well, why do n''t you?
7194What did you give?
7194What was it?
7194What''ll you give?
7194What''ll you take for her?
7194What''ll you take for him?
7194What''s that you got?
7194What''s that?
7194Where''d you get him?
7194Where''d you get the blue ticket?
7194Why, what''s the matter, Tom? 7194 With his face to the stump?"
7194Would you like to?
7194You wo n''t tell anybody at all? 7194 You would n''t, would n''t you?
7194At last he said:"Is it genuwyne?"
7194At the door Tom dropped back a step and accosted a Sunday- dressed comrade:"Say, Billy, got a yaller ticket?"
7194But say-- how do you cure''em with dead cats?"
7194But you must n''t ever tell anybody-- WILL you, Tom?
7194But you''ve another one I daresay, and you''ll tell it to me, wo n''t you?"
7194By jings, do n''t you wish you was Jeff?"
7194D''you ever try it, Huck?"
7194D''you ever try it?"
7194Did n''t they get him Saturday night?"
7194Do you go home to dinner?"
7194Do you remember what I wrote on the slate?"
7194Ever, as long as you live?"
7194He said to himself, it is not possible that the boy can answer the simplest question-- why DID the Judge ask him?
7194He said:"Do you love rats?"
7194How did he know she was a- witching him?"
7194How long you been this way?"
7194How many of my readers would have the industry and application to memorize two thousand verses, even for a Dore Bible?
7194Is that so?
7194Lemme go with you?"
7194Now you wo n''t, WILL you?"
7194Now, sir, why are you late again, as usual?"
7194Say, Becky, was you ever engaged?"
7194Say-- what''s that?"
7194So all this row was because you thought you''d get to stay home from school and go a- fishing?
7194The master said:"You-- you did what?"
7194Tom, what is the matter?"
7194Tom, what''s the matter with you?"
7194What do you kiss for?"
7194What is it like?"
7194What is it?"
7194What is the matter, Tom?"
7194What''s the matter with your tooth?"
7194What''s your name?"
7194What''s your way?"
7194What''s yours?
7194When I''m gone--""Oh, Tom, you ai n''t dying, are you?
7194When?"
7194Where''d you get him?"
7194Why do n''t you tell me, Mary?--what do you want to be so mean for?"
7194Will you meow?"
7194Will you?"
7194Wo n''t you tell us the names of the first two that were appointed?"
7194You call me Tom, will you?"
8479''A dark and dreadful one?''
8479''Account for it?
8479''And the boy knew it?''
8479''And what''s the other?''
8479''Brothers,''said the leader,''has never any one of you, when fasting, dreamed of some friendly spirit who would aid you as a guardian?''
8479''Dashed who in pieces-- her parents?''
8479''Do you still travel with it?''
8479''Everything about what?''
8479''Have n''t you the least idea?''
8479''How do you account for it?''
8479''How is that?''
8479''Is that so?''
8479''Is that so?''
8479''No, indeed,''said one of the others,''do you not know we were all killed, and that it is our sister who has brought us to life?''
8479''Very drunk?''
8479''Well, what are they?''
8479''Well,''said I,''if you are so light- hearted and jolly in ordinary times, what must you be in an epidemic?''
8479''Which one?''
8479''Who is a great manito?''
8479''Why did n''t you see them Roman soldiers that stood back there in a rank, and sometimes marched in procession around the stage?''
8479''Wish you may die in your tracks if you have?''
8479A citizen asked,''Do you remember when Jimmy Finn, the town drunkard, was burned to death in the calaboose?''
8479And above Winona you''ll have lovely prairies; and then come the Thousand Islands, too beautiful for anything; green?
8479And what did the husband do?
8479And what will become of you?
8479Are you happy?
8479At last he said in a low voice--''My little friend, can you keep a secret?''
8479But what can you do?
8479Do all the good people go to your place?
8479Do all whom you send from Hartford serve their Master as well?
8479Do n''t it occur to you, why?''
8479Do you know how the man came to be burned up in the calaboose?''
8479How can I give what I would have done with so much pleasure?
8479How do you amuse yourself?
8479How is that?
8479How long have you been in the spirit land?
8479I asked him various questions; first about a mate of mine in Sunday school-- what became of him?
8479I do n''t mean HIS act, I mean yours: would you be a murderer for letting him have that pistol?''
8479I met him on the street the next morning, and before I could speak, he asked--''Did you see me?''
8479I said, with admiration--''Why, how in the world did you ever guess it?''
8479I said--''What is the matter?''
8479Is n''t that a good deal of a triumph?
8479Is not this true?
8479Is she the maiden of the rock?--and are the two connected by legend?''
8479Is there much profit on a coffin?''
8479Now, is that boy a murderer, do you think?''
8479Presently he asked--''Are you going to give him up to the law?''
8479Quick-- out with it-- what did I say?''
8479Some talk followed--''Why-- what should make you suspect that it is n''t genuine?''
8479The burden of my thought was, How much did I divulge?
8479The chief, looking around, and observing the woman, after some time said to the man who came with her:''Who have you got there?
8479The man was drunk?''
8479Then this one has actually forgotten the date of its translation to the spirit land?
8479To- day I heard a schoolmistress ask,''Where is John gone?''
8479Unhandkerchiefs one eye, bats it around tearfully over the stock; says--''"And fhat might ye ask for that wan?"
8479Very well, then, when did you pass away?
8479Well, then, what year was it?
8479Well, when you come to look at it all around, and chew at it and think it over, do n''t it just bang anything you ever heard of?''
8479Well, would it be murder?''
8479What became of Winona?''
8479What do you drink?
8479What do you eat there?
8479What do you read?
8479What do you smoke?
8479What do you talk about?
8479What else?
8479What is it?''
8479What was to be done''?
8479When did the r disappear from Southern speech, and how did it come to disappear?
8479When did you die?
8479When your friends in the earth all get to the spirit land, what shall you have to talk about then?--nothing but about how happy you all are?
8479Where are you?
8479Where did you get all this youth and bubbling cheerfulness?
8479Why?
8479Would you like to come back?
8479Would you say that under oath?
8479You hear gentlemen say,''Where have you been at?''
8479in this town?''
8479profit?
8479who can this be he is leading us to?''
8479who is a manito?
42322And pray, let me ask, where do you intend that desirable operation to be performed?
42322Anything to trink, shur? 42322 Is this proceeding just and honourable"towards that unfortunate race?
42322What''s your_ name_, any how?
42322Who gave you your invulnerable life, Your strength, your speed, your fury, and your joy? 42322 Will you be pleased, sir, to register your name?"
42322Amid what terrible convulsion of the elements did these great ocean- plains heave themselves into being?
42322And did the dust Of these fair solitudes once stir with life And burn with passion?
42322Are they_ indeed_ to us no more than the dull clods we tread upon?
42322Around the couch of suffering humanity, who could not outwatch the stars?
42322But many a year of toil and privation must first have passed away; and who shall record their annals?
42322But what pencil has wandered over the grander scenes of the North American prairie?
42322But where is Joe Smith?
42322But, with such an admission, what is the crowd of reflections which throng and startle the mind?
42322By what race of beings was the vast undertaking accomplished?
42322Can imagination boast, Amid its gay creations, hues like hers?

42322France: who will aver that it was popular_ ignorance_ that rolled over revolutionary France the ocean- wave of blood?
42322Has war, or famine, or pestilence brooded over these beautiful plains?
42322Have we too many memorials of the olden time?
42322Have we visited them with so_ many_ returns of kindness that this would overflow the cup of recompense?
42322If knowledge, pure, defecated knowledge, be a conservative principle, why do we witness these appalling results?
42322Is it in individual villany?
42322Is it in legal enactment?
42322Is it in public sentiment?
42322Is not"knowledge omnipotent to preserve; the salt to purify the nations?"
42322Is there no hallowing interest associated with these aged relics, these tombs, and temples, and towers of another race, to elicit emotion?
42322It is a question daily becoming of more startling import, How may these fatal occurrences be successfully opposed?
42322Many believed-- was there ever faith too preposterous to obtain proselytes?
42322Of what_ other_ nation of Europe, if we except the Highlands of Scotland, may anything like the same assertion with truth be made?

42322Or can it mix them with that matchless skill, And lose them in each other, as appears In every bud that blooms?"
42322Or to what else shall we refer those collections of enormous seashells, heaped upon the soil, or thrown up to its surface from a depth of fifty feet?
42322Plack your poots, shur?
42322Shall the book of knowledge be taken from the hands of the people, and again be locked up in the libraries of the few?
42322We are reproached as a nation by Europeans for the contemptible vice of avarice; is the censure unjust?
42322What bard has struck his lyre to the wild melody of loveliness of the prairie sunset?
42322What changes in its form and magnitude have taken place?
42322What the associations which throng the excited fancy?
42322What vicissitudes and revolutions have, in the lapse of centuries, rolled like successive waves over the plains at its base?
42322What was its purpose?
42322What woman does not love to tell over those passages of her history in which the_ heart_ has ruled lord of the ascendant?
42322What, then, shall be done?
42322When a scene like this is developed, what shall adequately depict it?
42322When have the French,_ as a people_, exhibited a prouder era of mind than that of their sixteenth Louis?
42322When was this stupendous earth- heap reared up from the plain?
42322Where lies the fault?
42322Who has not gazed with anguish on the sunken cheek and the emaciated frame of the young aspirant for literary distinction?
42322Why did not intelligence save Greece?
42322Why linger fondly around them, and meditate upon the power which reared them and is departed?
42322Why now so lone and desolate?
42322Why tear away the last and only relic of the past yet lingering in our midst?
42322Why, then, does the wanderer from the far land gaze upon them with wonder and veneration?

44935Is that true?

44935Now how do you like it?
44935See, Grandmother,she said,"Lynx came down the trail and sang, Where, pretty white one, Where, pretty white one, Where do you go?"
44935What are these for?
44935What do they call you?
44935What do you most fear?
44935What is the matter?
44935What shall we do with the body?
44935Where are you going?
44935Where does your strength come from?
44935Who are you talking to?
44935Who''s there?
44935Why are you doing that?
44935Why are you doing that?
44935Why are you doing that?
44935Why do you do so?
44935Why do you do so?
44935Why should you do that?
44935A person said,"Why do you not eat the fruit of this tree?
44935Alligator said to the hunter,"Where can water be found?"
44935Am I all alone on the earth?
44935Are you angry?"
44935At last he said,"Is there no game?"
44935At last they said,"Are you large enough?"
44935At last, he said,"Nemissa, my elder sister, when will you end these doings?
44935At once the evil underground spirits, the Ana maqkiu, said to one another,"What has happened?
44935But Lynx sang again, Why do you go away, little white one?
44935Do you know how to swim?"
44935He asked,"What do you wish?"
44935He said to Saw- whet,"Why do you want it so dark?
44935He said,"Fish Hawk, what will you select for your food?"
44935He said,"How does it sound with me?"
44935He said,"My daughters, what has happened?"
44935He said,"What are you doing?"
44935He said,"Why did the Good Spirit send death so soon?"
44935He said,"Why do n''t you join the Animals?
44935He said,"Will you marry me?"
44935He sang, Who is this, Who is this, Who boasts of flying so high?
44935He slapped his thigh again and asked,"Who has been here?
44935He thought to himself,"How did I come here?
44935His grandmother said,"Grandson, how could you make the lives of your uncles and aunts endless like yours?
44935His mother said,"You say you had plenty to eat there?"
44935How could you do something in a way Earth- maker had not intended it to be?
44935How do you keep so fat when I can not find enough to eat?"

11151Who do you wish to see then?
11151Who knows but Master Harvey has gone to the village, and Miss Cora stands in the door this minute,''xpacting this owld spalpaan?
11151Who may it be then?

11151Why you not stay with squaw?
11151Wo n''t that spake for itself?

11151''You have treated him ill.''"''That I know I have,''she sobbed,''and how can I do him justice?''
11151An''be what token would they be acquaint with her?"
11151And what father does not hold precisely the same opinion of his young hopeful?
11151And what husband could prevent them?"
11151And who could this enemy be?
11151And ye have n''t caught a glimpse of the gal nor heard nothin''of her?"
11151Are you the person who carried away poor, dear Cora?"
11151Be yees listening, ye riptile?
11151But does your heart tell you you are at peace with Him whom you have offended so grievously?"
11151But s''pose, my friend, you go on this way for a year more-- what then?"
11151Ca n''t I afford to do it, when there''s a gal in the matter?"
11151Can it be?
11151Can you not welcome me?"
11151Did you see him?"
11151Do you hear?".
11151Do you suppose I could have come as near and_ missed_ without doing so on_ purpose_?

11151Let me see, you said it war nigh onto three months ago, warn''t it?"
11151Mahogany?"
11151Mister Harvey?"
11151Naught else?
11151On reaching the edge of the Clearing Teddy asked, abruptly:"If the haythen comes back to the cabin while we''s be gone?"
11151S''pose I should git on the trail that is lost, can yer tell me how fur I''d have to foller it?
11151Supposing one to have gazed from this stand- point, what would have been his field of vision?
11151Teddy_ sad_?
11151The Injin''l''git a good start on us, wo n''t he though?"
11151The dull click of the lock reached the ear of the target, who asked, in a low, gruff voice:"Why do_ you_ seek me?
11151The face of the Irishman was as dejected as his own, and the widowed man knew there was scarce need of the question:"Have you heard anything, Teddy?"
11151They were upon the point of landing so as to kindle a fire, when Mr. Richter spoke:"Do you notice that large island in the stream, Cora?
11151This afternoon, an Indian came in the house and threatened the life of both my wife and child--""Where the divil is he?"
11151What could be the object in firing at the missionary, yet taking pains that no harm should be inflicted?
11151What could have been more desirable than to unite with them in a country where whites were so scarce, and almost unknown?
11151What else could I mean?"
11151What is the meaning of this?"
11151What think you, dear wife?"
11151What thus alarmed him?
11151What''s the matter with yees now?"
11151What''s the matter?"
11151What''s- your- name?"
11151Where does yees get the jug?"
11151Where have you concealed yourself?
11151Where is it ye secures the vallyble contents?"
11151Why did n''t ye pause, and sarve me then jist as ye have done?
11151Why did n''t ye stick to it, and jist give me a chance to express meself?
11151Why this untimely pleasantry?"
11151Would you not prefer that as a landing- place?"
11151Yees never did, eh?
11151Yer do n''t s''pose that feller was able to keep paddlin''forever in the river, do yer?
11151You not want him?"
11151[ Illustration:"Harvey Richter-- don''t you know me?"
11151[ Illustration:"Where does yees get the jug?"]
11151_ Is_ it yerself, Mister Harvey, out in these woods, or is it yer ghost on the s''arch for Misthress Cora?
11151but do n''t ye saa those same bushes moving?
11151but do ye_ saa_ him?

11151hear groan?
11151she asked, shaking like a leaf,''and who are yees?''
11151shrieked the gal, as if she''d go down upon the ground,''and how shall I save meself?''
11151what can be the m''aning of that?"
11151where could he obtain it?"
11151yees are gone already, bees you?"
