When we tell him you're worth twenty millions and he's plumb full of primitive foolishness and general ignorance of the outside world, he says, 'Sí, he will come back!'

"On the ground that if you pay me more I might make myself worth more?" Jack asked respectfully.

" "Then I have done something worth while, really?"

If things get worse and I've got something to go on and we need you, I'm going to telegraph just as I said I would; because, Jack, though you're worth a lot of millions, someway we feel you're one of us.

" "Then I feel fixed comfortable for life!" said Peter, with a perfectly wonderful smile enlivening the wrinkles of his old face, which made Jack think once more that life was worth living.

Jack was strong; yes, strong; and he was worth having.

They handicap you with the loss of time it takes to learn them, at least; and I meant to be worth a million before I was thirty.

Now I know that I shall be worth two or three or four millions at thirty, if all goes as I plan.

Though I had not a cent in the world I could make my living out herea very sweet thought, this, to me, with its promise of something real and practical and worth while, at which I can make good.

"I don't think it's worth while soiling a clean piece of rope.

He used to laugh to scorn the transcendental notion about the editorial columns not being purchased, "If my opinions are worth anything," he used to exclaim, "they are worth being paid for; and if I unsay to-morrow what I said yesterday, the contradiction is only apparent, and is in accordance with the great spirit of progress and the breaking up of old institutions."

And they will know his worth Years hencepoor things, they know not what they do!

You too, then, Alma Mater calls to greet A worthy patron for your ancient seat; And bid her sons from him example take, Of learning purely sought for learning's sake, Of worth unboastful, power in duty spent; And see, fulfilled in him, her high intent.

So shall Alma Mater see Daughters fair and wise Train new lands of liberty Under stranger skies; Spreading round the teeming earth English science, manhood, worth.

All this while he dedicates successive volumes to rising generations of noble patrons; and while he desolates a line of coast with sterile, blighting lines, the only leaf of his books where honour, beauty, worth, or pleasure bloom, is that inscribed to the Rutland family!

It is surely worth while to study this literature, and in all its twists and turns to admire the heliotropism of the German ideal and the importance which our German literature has won as a mediator, an experimenter, and a model for that world-literature, the outline of which the prophetic eye of the greatest German poet was the first to discern, and his hand, equally expert in scientific and poetic creation, the first to describe.

These very feelings and convictions of the slave, (if such were possible) increase a hundred fold the guilt of the master in holding him as property, and call upon him in thunder, immediately to recognize him as a MAN, and thus break the sorcery that binds his soul, cheating it of its birth-right, and the consciousness of its worth and destiny.

The man stolen might be past labor, and his support a burden, yet death was the penalty, though not a cent's worth of property value was taken.

It wrung from him, as he gave up the ghost, a testimony in blood, and death groans, to the infinite dignity and worth of man,a proclamation to the universe, voiced in mortal agony, that MAN IS INVIOLABLE,a confession shrieked in phrenzy at the grave's mouth"I die accursed, and God is just.

Why did he punish with death for stealing a very little, perhaps not a sixpence worth, of that sort of property, and make a mere fine, the penalty for stealing a thousand times as much, of any other sort of propertyespecially if God did by his own act annihilate the difference between man and property, by putting him on a level with it?

The crime here punished with death, is not the mere act of taking property from its owner, but the disregarding of fundamental relations, doing violence to an immortal nature, making war on a sacred distinction of priceless worth.

If I did not give them plenty of maize they would eat a hundred francs' worth of linen in a single winter.
