עמוד 227 - In every village marked with little spire, Embowered in trees, and hardly known to fame, There dwells, in lowly shed, and mean attire, A matron old, whom we schoolmistress name ; Who boasts unruly brats with birch to tame : They grieven sore, in piteous durance pent, Awed by the power of this relentless dame ; And ofttimes on vagaries idly bent, For unkempt hair, or task unconned, are...
עמוד 102 - ... clothes ! If any seeker after notoriety wishes to kiss me for the Sanitary, they can now do it, and one of my niggers shall hold the stakes. I've struck Pete, and the result is much gorgeousness of apparel — many good things heretofore known to me only by observation. I would not be a poor man — I would not if I could — But I need not fret about it, For I could not if I would, •while the earth divulges its hidden secrets into my lap at the rate of three hundred barrels.
עמוד 18 - ... the belt. Don't be in a hurry ; draw her gently, lovingly to your heart Her head will fall lightly upon your shoulder, and a handsome shoulder-strap it makes. Don't be in a hurry ; send a little life down your left arm.
עמוד 19 - Lean slightly forward with yeur head, not the body. Take good aim ; the lips meet, the eyes close, the heart opens, the soul rides the storms, troubles, and sorrows of life. Don't be in a hurry. Heaven opens before you. The world shoots under your feet, as a meteor flashes across the evening sky. Don't be afraid. The nerves dance before the just-erected altar of love, as zephyrs dance with the dewtrimmed flowers ; the heart forgets its bitterness, and the art of kissing is learned. No...
עמוד 266 - E came from Hengland. Came hover the hocean hin two steamers, the blarsted things ! He came over to collect interest on his notes of Americans taken some years since. He said the Americans were hall Hasses, and the Dickens ! The Lord loveth whom he chasteneth. We all love whomsoever chastiseth us. Selah. Therefore, the Dickens. We did saw him ! Great men are always fashionable. The folks turn out to welcome great men and those they love. They rushed to see Lincoln's funeral. They paid to see the...
עמוד 273 - When he walks he puts one leg before the other. The faster he walks the faster he moves his legs. But he uses no mustard! He is commanding— orders a gin-cocktail whenever he wants one, except in Boston! When writing he sits in a chair if convenient, places the paper before him, takes the pen in his right hand, dips it occasionally in an inkstand and winks. He always winks as he dips his pen, but uses no mustard! He is the author of several works, in which respect he resembles Brigham Young more...
עמוד 268 - Monument and saw him come ashore. We ran ahead of him to New York and saw him there. He came in by Communipaw, Murray Street, the Central Park, Tammany Hall, Mozart Wood pile, and down the Broadway! He is — the Dickens. He was dressed in men's clothes— or one man's clothes at all events. They were made in England. He had hair on his head, and what he could not put there he had on his face. He wore a coat, and a penknife. He walked in from the Hub for his constitutional. He emulates Weston, only...
עמוד 267 - ... always fashionable. The folks turn out to welcome great men and those they love. They rushed to see Lincoln's funeral. They paid to see the late prize-fight. They welcomed the Portland gag Weston, the walkist, whose pleasant fictions as to wagers, and so forth, reminds us of Dickens. The papers have told all they know about WESTON. Some of them have had special correspondents to tell us of Dickens — who he was, how he was, what he was, when he was, where he was, why he was, which he was, and...

Some of them have had special correspondents to tell us of Dickens — who he was, how he was, what he was, when he was, where he was, why he was, which he was, and how he acted while he was! The New York papers are not particular enough. Their readers are great for gossip and raising the Dickens. We pattern after New York papers and cater only to those who follow lions and flutter like tails to foreign kites. Dickens came....
