...flee? No scrap of paper tells. We can only guess that the sturdy frame bore a great weight, and that those bleeding feet were dragged over many a terrible league, and that before he reached the great city, only to drop dead in the street, that resolute soul was convulsed with some awful agony. Unnamed and unknown, he will lie in the public pits of Pere Lachaise, and his picture will be added to those in the entrance hall. The fourth body is that of a young man, which was found naked in the river. Perhaps he was drowned while...
...contents are dropped noiselessly into the stream. What these contents are, let us not too curiously inquire. If the fishes leave anything, we shall probably hear of it from the officers of the Morgue. A dark, heavily veiled figure is pacing the Pont Neuf slowly and irresolutely. A human soul has been delivered over to the worm that dieth not. A sweet face is wan and pinched with agony; two wild eyes gaze down into the cold, whirling, gurgling water; there is a cry of despair, a frantic leap,-and a lost soul has rushed unsummoned to meet a just...

Among them are many very curious things which would fill the soul of a dime museum propritor with envy. As, for instance, a cast of the skull of the horned woman, who had ragged pieces of horns six inches long protruding from her forehead, and the skull of a man who was cured after having an iron tamping bar pass through his head...
...deeply interested in comparing our Cambridge with this Cambridge. It is not like old Cambridge or Oxford. We keep up the old domiciliary system. Our colleges are like medieval fortresses; they are shut at night from the freest of the world, and not a soul can get in or out without the porter's bringing the keys. At Harvard it would be impossible to do that. Harvard gave me the impression of an English college in the quad of which a shell has burst; the halls are all separate, and you can walk around them. There and precision of life...
