"For the first time, Shirley, I stand before youmyself.

One smiles now at the epithets of scorn and contumely once hurled at him, at the man who, little understood as he has been, has done so much to uplift and purify the thought of his time and do battle with the forces opposed to reform and arrayed against those of light and truth.

There are a few, nevertheless, who think it rational to conclude that what has happened with all lower forms must happen with the highest forms,a few who infer that among types of men those most fitted for making a well-working society will hereafter, as heretofore, from time to time, emerge and spread at the expense of types less fitted, until a fully fitted type has arisen.

Even now that we have acquired some idea of the lapse of time, men are too apt to assume without proof that the geological record is so perfect that it would have afforded plain evidence of the mutation of species if they had really undergone mutation.

In short, Darwin looked forward to the time when species would have to be treated in the same manner as genera are treated by those naturalists who admit that genera are merely artificial combinations made for convenience.

At the same time it must be admitted that the screw-propeller as a possibility for marine propulsion was known in a vague way to the engineering practice of the day, and it is at this time of course quite impossible to say how much may have been known by Ericsson, Smith, or others concerned in later developments, or to what extent they may have been dependent for suggestion on what had preceded them.

The "Princeton" was completed in due time and was equipped with two 12-inch wrought-iron guns, one brought by Ericsson from England and one designed and built under the direction of Captain Stockton.

It was a time of change and unrest.

The time now seemed ripe for the presentation and development of this idea, and he accordingly developed his designs for a torpedo, and for a method of firing it under water from a gun carried in the bow of a boat, and suitably opening to allow the discharge of the torpedo projectile.

His daughter was deemed a fit consort for the heir to the throne, wearing for a short time the tiara of empress, and committing suicide on the death of her lord.

Here is the large brick church, now famous, built by native craftsmen, who before Livingstone's time had never seen a white man, and lived in a state of barbarism; an edifice that would adorn the suburbs of any American city, and of which the explorer, Joseph Thomson, said: "It is the most wonderful sight I have seen in Africa."

Between 1849 and 1873 he was four years in Europe and twenty years in the field, eating native food, sleeping in straw huts (in one of which he died), lost to view for many years at a time because he had no means of communication with the coasts.

It took Stanley two years and eight months to cross Africa, when he solved the great mystery, the course of the Congo; and when he went to the relief of Emin Pasha, in 1887, he was almost exactly the same time on the road.

Perceiving him out of danger, and recovering her own wits at the same time, Mrs. Butterby cries: "Lord!

Should he raise objections" "As assuredly he will," says I, who knew the crafty, subtle character of old Simon full well by, this time.

" "We must have money," says I. "Thee shalt have it in good time.

And it did my heart good to see him looking stout and hearty, profitably occupied in this business, instead of soaking in an alehouse (as I feared at one time he would) to dull his care; but he was ever a stout, brave fellow, who would rather fight than give in any day.

May I ask, sir, without offence, if you have any occupation for your time when you leave us?"

The poor fellow was absurdly ashamed of it; he blushed at the pitying glances that people threw at him in passinglike a penny that you give, turning away your head at the same time from the unpleasant sight.

But he who would speak the truth cannot promise or assure men of victory; the risks are not to be ignored; perhaps it will never come, in any case it will be a long time.

After a time the response lost its metallic petulance.

It's time your reactions were better diagnosed.

" "It was a long time?

Robinson walked close to Silas Blackburn and for some time gazed at the gray face.

It is not till some time after Johnson had come into the enjoyment of his pension, that we first see him through the eyes of competent observers.

Therefore I challenge the assertion of Lord Salisbury; and as Lord Salisbury is fond of writing letters to The Times to bring the Duke of Argyll to book, he perhaps will be kind enough to write another letter to The Times, and tell in what clause of the Treaty of Berlin he finds it written that the port of Batoum shall be only a commercial port.

But modern times have brought a different state of things.

Now, I have charged at various times what I think an essential count in this indictmentthat intelligence had been kept back from Parliament.

Her Majesty's Government at all times have resisted the partition of Turkey.

Three times has Russia captured Kars.

There are times when one feels that if these circumstances actually did arise, it would be a feeling which would spread with irresistible force throughout the land.

This assurance has been given several times.

Continental nations engaged in warall their populations, all their energies, all their wealth, engaged in a desperate strugglethey cannot carry on the trade with us that they are carrying on in times of peace, whether we are parties to the war or whether we are not.

There was also a remarkable advertisement which appeared in the "Times" for a considerable period, and was never seen by Charles.

William, dear fellow, used to sit on a footstool and read the "Times" to him.

"Do you know, Isabella," said Mrs. Gardner, "that you have promised me this a great many times before?

" Mary told Nancy to remember her hymn at all times, and to be early at Sunday school the next morning, to say it to her.

Indeed, of them all is true what was said of the first poem, not only according to the Christian College Magazine, that some forms of expression seemed coined in the mint of Tennyson, but, according to the Statesman and Friend of India, that where the versification is best it has a ring of Tennyson.Madras Times.

"I think I could if I stood ten times as far away," said the great fellow quietly.

This arrow he drew two or three times through his hand so as to smooth the feathering and make the web lie straight, before fitting the notch to the string.

At such times as this young Robin would stop short to watch the grazing deer and fawns with their softly dappled hides, till all at once a pair of sharp blue eyes would spy him out, and the jay who owned those eyes would set up his soft speckled crest, show his fierce black moustachios, and shout an alarm again in a harsh voice"Here's a boy!

Truly as if a long careful aim had been taken the arrow sped many times faster than the swineherd ran, and Robin's eyes dilated as he saw his adversary give a sudden spring and fall upon his face, uttering a hideous yell.

For the coexistence or succession of phenomena, i.e., their existence at the same time or at different times (from which, as many believe, the representation of time is abstracted), itself presupposes timea coexistence or succession is possible only in time.

And different times do not precede the one time as the constituent parts of which it is made up, but are mere limitations of it; the part is possible only through the whole.

Time contains in itself an endless number of representations (its parts, times), but this is never the case with a generic concept, which, indeed, is contained as a partial representation in an endless number of representations (those of the individuals having the same name), and, consequently, comprehends them all under itself, but which never contains them in itself.

The general concept horse is contained in each particular representation of a horse as a general characteristic, and that of justice in each representation of a definite just act; time, however, is not contained in the different times, but they are contained in it.

Captain James Byrnes was stabbed four times, twice in the arm, and twice in the side by A.R. Livingston.
