...crunching gravel, reminds us that prayers, like the poor, "we have always with us." The genial face of John, that unique example of Catholic "Orangeman:" the thought-furrowed brow of General Pratt: the "eggs and toast" of the Holly Tree: and the nocturnal journeys to that Paradise whence Adam has not yet been expelled, and at whose gates no flaming sword checks the wanderer, save, it may be, that metaphorical cutlass, the "11 o'clock law," - each and all of these we greet with renewed respect and affection, and then look about us to ascertain the cause for the slight...
...wrong to state absolutely that Americans are protectionists. This leads to a question as to the right of the majority to say when the minority shall buy or sell.

Adam and Eve are a typical Puritan and his wife. The heavenly and infernal hosts fight a sort of celestial Marston Moor or Naseby, which is finally won for the Parliament and Calvinism by a dashing charge of the celestial Ironsides led by Christinstead of Cromwell. But the character of Satan...
