Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 41: Organ of the Deseret Sunday School Union; February 15, 1906Talk of the changes. That are taking place. The nights are much shorter now the sun stays longer each day. He must want to make it very warm so that many little birds will return to us. Some have already returned. Who has seen a robin? Yes, many, many robins have returned to us. Many little brooks and streams have also come back, but where did they go? 'why no, of course they did not go away, they remained here where Jack Frost turned them into ice: Jack Frost brought us so much snow and ice, enough to last a long time. He left it, perhaps, thinking it would always be snow and ice, but the bright, warm Sun comes, and oh! How that changes things. What happened to the winter gifts Jack Frost gives? Yes, indeed, the sun melts all the snow and ice into water, and how pleased we are to see it melt, for we know then that the little plants are having their first early drink. Sometimes nice, warm rain-drops come and help the snow and ice to melt faster.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

American tourists, sure appreciators of all that is ancient and picturesque in England, invariably come to a halt, holding their breath in a sudden catch of wonder, as they pass through the half-ruinous gateway which admits to the Close of Wrychester. Nowhere else in England is there a fairer prospect of old-world peace. There before their eyes, set in the centre of a great green sward, fringed by tall elms and giant beeches, rises the vast fabric of the thirteenth-century Cathedral, its high spire piercing the skies in which rooks are for ever circling and calling. The time-worn stone, at a little distance delicate as lacework, is transformed at different hours of the day into shifting shades of colour, varying from grey to purple: the massiveness of the great nave and transepts contrasts impressively with the gradual tapering of the spire, rising so high above turret and clerestory that it at last becomes a mere line against the ether. In morning, as in afternoon, or in evening, here is a perpetual atmosphere of rest; and not around the great church alone, but in the quaint and ancient houses which fence in the Close. Little less old than the mighty mass of stone on which their ivy-framed windows look, these houses make the casual observer feel that here, if anywhere in the world, life must needs run smoothly. Under those high gables, behind those mullioned windows, in the beautiful old gardens lying between the stone porches and the elm-shadowed lawn, nothing, one would think, could possibly exist but leisured and pleasant existence: even the busy streets of the old city, outside the crumbling gateway, seem, for the moment, far off.

Excerpt from The Paradise MysteryWhile the boy learnt the last lines of his Latin, and the doctor turned over the newspaper, the girl read a letter - evidently, from the large sprawling hand writing, the missive of some girlish correspondent. She was deep in it when, from one of the turrets of the Cathedral, a bell began to ring. At that, she glanced at her brother.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 39: December 15, 1904Marshal Mac Mahon. The engagement was brought on by the desire of Louis Napoleon to achieve a French victory, which was necessary to his prestige. He had little thoughts of the numerical su'. Periority of the enemy, or of the political consequences of defeat. Mac Mahon was so completely defeated that from that time his army was scarcely a factor in the struggle; but the international influence of the battle was of the greatest import ance. All thoughts of military alliance with Austria or Italy were at an end, and Russia decided to remain absolutely pas sive during the conflict. The French] army was paralyzed. Napoleon had his head-quarters at Metz and seemed incap able either to advance or retreat. 'mean while all the divisions of the German army had entered French territory and] were pre ssing the armies of the emperor; especially the command of Marshal Baz aine.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 46: February, 1911Christina was a little Danish girl. She was fully seven years old, though you never would have guessed it, so small was she. You would have set her down any day as being only five, and if she had been riding with her mother on our street cars the condue tor would not even have-dreamed of asking for her fare. But she had a heart as big as any woman's, as you shall see.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
