“Here’s another, uncle.” This was shouted cheerily, and the reply thereto was a low muttering, ending with a grunt. It was a glorious day on Dartmoor, high up in the wildest part amongst the rugged tors, where a bright little river came flashing and sparkling along, and sending the bright beams of the sun in every direction from the disturbed water, as an eager-looking boy busily played the trout he had hooked, one which darted here and there in its wild rush for freedom, but all in vain, for after its little mad career it was safely brought to bank, and landed.

The object of the present volume is: to indicate the character and, approximately, the extent of the changes produced by human action in the physical conditions of the globe we inhabit; to point out the dangers of imprudence and the necessity of caution in all operations which, on a large scale, interfere with the spontaneous arrangements of the organic or the inorganic world; to suggest the possibility and the importance of the restoration of disturbed harmonies and the material improvement of waste and exhausted regions; and, incidentally, to illustrate the doctrine that man is, in both kind and degree, a power of a higher order than any of the other forms of animated life, which, like him, are nourished at the table of bounteous nature.

The Vesper Bell Called Them To The Chapel, And The Conversation Ceased. Salome Joined The Procession And Entered The Choir. As Soon As She Had Taken Her Seat She Looked Through The Screen Upon The Congregation Assembled In The Public Part Of The Church. A Great Dread Seized Her That She Should See Again The Man Whose Presence Had So Disturbed Her In The Morning. Heaven! He Was There!--Not Where He Sat Before, But In One Of The End Pews, Facing The Choir, So That She Had A Full View Of His Ghastly Face And Glassy Eyes. A Sudden Superstitious Fear Fell Upon Her. She Almost Thought The Figure Was His Ghost, Or Was Some Optical Illusion Conjured Up By Her Own Imagination. [more]

The Professor Climbed From His Cot, And, Without Waiting To Draw On His Clothes, Stepped Outside. He Stood Listening In Front Of His Tent For Several Minutes, But Heard Nothing Of A Disturbing Nature. [more]

For Some Years Past A Rising Tide Of Lecturers And Literary Men From England Has Washed Upon The Shores Of Our North American Continent. The Purpose Of Each One Of Them Is To Make A New Discovery Of America. They Come Over To Us Travelling In Great Simplicity, And They Return In The Ducal Suite Of The Aquitania. They Carry Away With Them Their Impressions Of America, And When They Reach England They Sell Them. This Export Of Impressions Has Now Been Going On So Long That The Balance Of Trade In Impressions Is All Disturbed. There Is No Doubt That The Americans And Canadians Have Been Too Generous In This Matter Of Giving Away Impressions. We Emit Them With The Careless Ease Of A Glow Worm, And Like The Glow-Worm Ask For Nothing In Return. [more]

Manual Cast Sundry Discontented And Sullen Looks From His Captors To The Remnant Of His Own Command, While The Process Of Pinioning The Latter Was Conducted, With Much Discretion, Under The Directions Of Sergeant Drill, When Meeting, In One Of His Dissatisfied Glances, With The Pale And Disturbed Features Of Griffith, He Gave Vent To His Ill- Humor, By Saying: "This Results From Neglecting The Precautions Of Military Discipline. Had The Command Been With Men, Who, I May Say, Without Boasting, Have Been Accustomed To The Duties Of The Field, Proper Pickets Would Have Been Posted, And Instead Of Being Caught Like So Many Rabbits In A Burrow, To Be Smoked Out With Brimstone, We Should Have Had An Open Field For The Struggle; Or We Might Have Possessed Ourselves Of These Walls, Which I Could Have Made Good For Two Hours At Least, Against The Best Regiment That Ever Wore King George's Facings."
