The Camp Fire Girls At Camp Keewaydin Or, Down Paddles By Hildegard G. Frey CHAPTER I ON THE WAY “All aboard!” The hoarse voice of Captain MacLaren boomed out like a fog horn, waking a clatter of echoes among the tall cliffs on the opposite shore of the river, and sending the seventy-five girls on the dock all skurrying for the Carribou’s gangplank at once. “Hurry up, Hinpoha! We’re getting left behind....

[Illustration: DANIEL BOONE.] [Illustration: BOONE’S FIRST VIEW OF KENTUCKY.] “Fair was the scene that lay Before the little band, Which paused upon its toilsome way, To view this new found land. Field, stream and valley spread, Far as the eye could gaze, With summer’s beauty o’er them shed, And sunlight’s brightest rays. Flowers of the fairest dyes, Trees clothed in richest green; And brightly smiled the deep-blue skies, O’er this enchanting scene....

In Berlin, from Tuesday, 31st May, 1740, day of the late King’s death, till the Thursday following, the post was stopped and the gates closed; no estafette can be despatched, though Dickens and all the Ambassadors are busy writing. On the Thursday, Regiments, Officers, principal Officials having sworn, and the new King being fairly in the saddle, estafettes and post-boys shoot forth at the top of their speed; and Rumor, towards every point of the compass, apprises mankind what immense news there is....
THE LADY OF THE SHROUD by Bram Stoker FROM “THE JOURNAL OF OCCULTISM”MID-JANUARY, 1907. A strange story comes from the Adriatic. It appears that on the night of the 9th, as the Italia Steamship Company’s vessel “Victorine” was passing a little before midnight the point known as “the Spear of Ivan,” on the coast of the Blue Mountains, the attention of the Captain, then on the bridge, was called by the look- out man to a tiny floating light close inshore....

Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay by Sir George Otto Trevelyan VOLUME I PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. WHEN publishing the Second Edition of Lord MACAULAY’S Life and Letters, I may be permitted to say that no pains were spared in order that the First Edition should be as complete as possible. But, in the course of the last nine months, I have come into possession of a certain quantity of supplementary matter, which the appearance of the book has elicited from various quarters....
The Life of Flavius Josephus. by Flavius Josephus Translated by William Whiston The family from which I am derived is not an ignoble one, but hath descended all along from the priests; and as nobility among several people is of a different origin, so with us to be of the sacerdotal dignity, is an indication of the splendor of a family. Now, I am not only sprung from a sacerdotal family in general, but from the first of the twenty-four (1) courses; and as among us there is not only a considerable difference between one family of each course and another, I am of the chief family of that first course also; nay, further, by my mother I am of the royal blood; for the children of Asamoneus, from whom that family was derived, had both the office of the high priesthood, and the dignity of a king, for a long time together....
by Horace Green Staff Correspondent of the New York Evening Post Special Correspondent of the Boston Journal 1915 Preface In the following pages the ego is thickly spread. Their publication is the result of persuasion from many sources that, before returning to the war zone, I should put into connected form my personal experiences as correspondent during the first year of the War of Nations. A few of these adventures were mentioned in news letters from the Continent, where I limited myself so far as possible to descriptions of armies at war and peoples in time of stress; but the greater part of them were merely jotted down from time to time for my own benefit in “The Log of a Noncombatant....

THE MIRROR OF LITERATURE, AMUSEMENT, AND INSTRUCTION. VOL. X, NO. 280.] SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1827. [PRICE 2d. Illustrations of Shakspeare. NO. XIII. ELSINEUR, FROM HAMLET’S GARDEN. [Illustration: ELSINEUR, FROM HAMLET’S GARDEN.] We augur that the above will prove one of the most interesting of our Shakspearian Illustrations, inasmuch as the garden where Hamlet was wont to revel in the fitful dreams of his philosophic melancholy, is holy ground. “The lapse of ages and the fables of the poet,” says a delighted visiter, “were all lost in the reality of Shakspeare’s painting: the moment of his scene seemed present with me; and eager to traverse every part of this consecrated ground, I had already followed Hamlet every where; I had measured the deep shadows of the platform, encountered the grey ghost of the Royal Dane, had killed Polonius in the queen’s closet, and drowned poor Ophelia in the willowed stream....

From the Druids’ Temple, at Abury, (our last engraving,) to the Council Office, at Whitehall, is a long stride in the march of time. From “grave to gay, and lively to severe,” is nothing to it; but variety is the public dictum; and with more sincerity than the courtier in Tom Thumb, we say to the public, “Whate’er your majesty shall please to name, Long cut or short cut, to us’ tis all the same....

Warwick–what olden glories and tales of other times are associated with this county. How many of its sites are connected with high-minded men and great and glorious actions. To the antiquary, the poet, and the philosopher, every foot is hallowed ground; and even the cold calculations of the commercial speculator treat with regard a county whose manufactures add to the stock of national wealth and importance....
