But the shock of the man's charge upset me, and the next I knew of it we were wrestling on the ground.

Then I was lifted up and carried to a flat space beside the stream, where the trunk of a young pine had been set upright in the ground.

The wood was thinner here, and the ground less cumbered.

I flung the broken arrow on the ground.

Around this the host had gathered, sitting mostly on the ground with knees drawn to the chin, but some few standing like sentries under arms.

" He poked the beast on the altar, and a bit of burning yellow fur fell off and frizzled on the ground.

He shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground....

We kept the very crest of the range, and came by and by to a promontory of clear ground, the same, I fancy, from which I had first seen the vale of the Shenandoah.

I wandered into pleasant dreams, and scarce felt the roughness of the ground on my bare feet and the aches in every limb.

Awkward straggling steps, to be sure, but they get over the ground, and that is the most they care for.

O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so? The hills the bushy wild plums show, And pear-trees grace the ground below.

BOOK II THE DECADE OF PIH H'WA ~An Ode Appropriate to a Festivity~ The dew lies heavy all around, Nor, till the sun shines, leaves the ground.

In unison the arrows flew; The game lay piled upon the ground.

They shall be placed upon the ground to sleep; Their playthings tiles, their dress the simplest worn; Their part alike from good and ill to keep, And ne'er their parents' hearts to cause to mourn; To cook the food, and spirit-malt to steep.

Handfuls besides we drop upon the ground, And ears untouched in numbers lie around; These by the poor and widows shall be found.

When one stands on a slab of stone, No higher than the ground, Nothing is added to his height; Low with the stone he's found.

The horizontal section will present more or less rounded yellow patches and streaks, scattered irregularly through the dark brown, or blackish, ground substance; while the vertical section will exhibit mere elongated bars and granules of the same yellow materials, disposed in lines which correspond, roughly, with the general direction of the bedding of the coal.

In the browner parts of this coal, sharp eyes will readily detect multitudes of curious little coin-shaped bodies, of a yellowish brown colour, embedded in the dark brown ground substance.

In favourable specimens, again, almost the whole ground substance appears to be made up of similar bodiesmore or less carbonized or blackened and, in these, there can be no doubt that, with the exception of patches of mineral charcoal, here and there, the whole mass of the coal is made up of an accumulation of the larger and of the smaller sacs.

We must suppose that, as the seasons rolled by, the plants grew and developed their spores and seeds; that they shed these in enormous quantities, which accumulated on the ground beneath; and that, every now and then, they added a dead frond or leaf; or, at longer intervals, a rotten branch, or a dead trunk, to the mass.

And on the face of the matter there is no ground for refusing to admit that Heteromita may be related to Chlamydomonas, as the colourless fungus is to the green alga.

Certain broad laws have a general application throughout both the animal and the vegetable worlds, but the ground common to these kingdoms of nature is not of very wide extent, and the multiplicity of details is so great, that the student of living beings finds himself obliged to devote his attention exclusively either to the one or the other.

Having gone very carefully and fully over this ground, I should feel that you had a safe foundation, and I should then take you in the same way, but less minutely, over similarly selected illustrative types of the classes; and then I should direct your attention to the special forms enumerated under the head of types, in this syllabus, and to the other facts there mentioned.

In 1761 James Otis, of Massachusetts, made a fateful speech before the colonial legislature, in which, asserting the illegality of the search warrants on the ground that they violated the constitutional rights of Englishmen to protection in their own homes, he asserted that Acts of Parliament which violated the sanctity of the home were void and that, more specifically, they violated the charter granted to Massachusetts.

From the high ground we stood upon, from the plain path which invited our footsteps, to be so fallen, so lost, is mortifying; but everything of virtue has, in a degree, taken its departure from our land....
