Popular passages
Page 182 - I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry : be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny.
Page 267 - THE harp that once through Tara's halls The soul of music shed. Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls, As if that soul were fled. — So sleeps the pride of former days, So glory's thrill is o'er, And hearts, that once beat high for praise, Now feel that pulse no more.
Page 73 - I make to you is neither a piece of party tactics, nor an egotistical calculation, nor a sudden resolution: — it is the result of serious meditation, and of a profound conviction. I do not pretend that this measure will banish all the difficulties of our situation. But to each day its appointed task.

Page 246 - Emperor of the French, to all present and to come, greeting. The Tom-bell of Notre Dame is ringing in the new regime, and we shall sleep to-night under an Empire. This time, the revolution is a peaceful one, and Louis Napoleon grasps a bloodless sceptre.
Page 294 - The other man then began a speech, the sum and su&stance of which was as follows : — Within the tent, he said, was perhaps one of the greatest novelties to be seen in or out of France. This was no less than one of the former wives of Abd-el-Kader, the great Algerian trooper. The way this distinguished foreigner came to be exhibiting herself at two sous a head, was briefly this. A French officer, being on service in Africa, was one day in danger of being surprised by a troop of Arab horsemen, who...
Page 251 - In the rear of the tent were two smaller tents; one pitched a little to the right, the other a little to the left of it.
