 Description: THE professor crossed one long, lean leg over the other, and punched down the ashes in his pipe-bowl with the square tip of his middle finger. The thermometer on the shady veranda marked eighty-seven degrees of heat, and nature wooed the soul to languor and revery; but nothing could abate the energy of this bony sage.

 Published:  1995 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: WITHOUT, the night was cold and wet, but in the small parlor of Lakesnam Villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly. Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical changes, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire.

 Title:  The Rambler, sections 1-54 (1750); from The Works of Samuel Johnson, in Sixteen Volumes, Volume I  
 Published:  1995 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: THE difficulty of the first address on any new occasion, is felt by every man in his transactions with the world, and confessed by the settled and regular forms of salutation which necessity has introduced into all languages. Judgment was wearied with the perplexity of being forced upon choice, where there was no motive to preference; and it was found convenient that some easy method of introduction should be established, which, if it wanted the allurement of novelty, might enjoy the security of prescription.

 Description: An Arikara woman was once gathering corn from the field to store away for winter use. She passed from stalk to stalk, tearing off the ears and dropping them into her folded robe. When all was gathered she started to go, when she heard a faint voice, like a child's, weeping and calling:

 Title:  The Conflict  
 Published:  1995 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: Four years at Wellesley; two years about equally divided among Paris, Dresden and Florence. And now Jane Hastings was at home again. At home in the unchanged house — spacious, old-fashioned — looking down from its steeply sloping lawns and terraced gardens upon the sooty, smoky activities of Remsen City, looking out upon a charming panorama of hills and valleys in the heart of South Central Indiana. Six years of striving in the East and abroad to satisfy the restless energy she inherited from her father; and here she was, as restless as ever — yet with everything done that a woman could do in the way of an active career. She looked back upon her years of elaborate preparation; she looked forward upon — nothing. That is, nothing but marriage — dropping her name, dropping her personality, disappearing in the personality of another. She had never seen a man for whom she would make such a sacrifice; she did not believe that such a man existed.

 Title:  Simon Pokagon on Naming the Indians  
 Published:  1995 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: I have read with much interest the article in the March number of your magazine on "Naming the Indians," which I have regarded for many years as of vital importance to the future of our race. The instructions therein given by T. J. Morgan, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to Indian agents and superintendents of government Indian schools, I consider, in view of our citizenship, of the utmost importance, and ought to have been construed as obligatory upon teachers and superintendents in government schools in naming their pupils, as to naming Indian employees to be appointed as policemen, judges, teamsters, laborers, etc. In looking over the names published in the article referred to of pupils at the Crow Agency boarding school, Montana, I really felt in my heart that most of their surnames, translated from their language into English unexplained, might well be taken for a menagerie of monstrosities. Think of it—such names for girls as Olive Young-heifer, Lottie Grandmother's-knife, Kittie Medicine-tail, Mary Old-jack-rabbit, Lena Old-bear, Louisa Three-wolves, and Ruth Bear-in-the-middle. And then such names for boys as Walter Young-jack-rabbit, Homer Bull-tongue, Robert Yellow-tail, Antoine No- hair-on-his-tail, Hugh Ten-bears, Harry White-bear, Levi Yellow-mule, etc.
