Side 70 - old families " of Virginia and South Carolina are no fable. One sees in their daughters that high-born air, that easy grace, that feminine delicacy, which shows their blood is gentle; and, like oft-decanted wine, has been refined by being poured through the veins of at least three well-born generations. A native modesty, self-possessed...

The youth of this country are learning the sciences, not as theories, but with reference to their application to the arts. Our education is...
Side 398 - Tis the hunter's moon, and you may follow tho path of the buck and the doe, or hie on pointer or setter. You see the breaking of day as you go on your way to lie for wild fowl, which, when it is yet dark, fly overhead with whistling wings : while far off is heard the scream of the coming wild-geese. Now let the reel hiss, as the line is cast from the rocks, for tautog. It is the season, also, for bass fishing. Now let the lover of nature and mushrooms prevent the sun, and gather his breakfast with...
