Books with title St. Nicholas, Vol. 32: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks

Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 23: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part I, November, 1895, to April, 1896His parents were people in very moderate circumstances, the father being a goldsmith by the name of Gerome, and the little boy was christened jean-léon. As the child grew up he °developed into a bright, quick, active boy; and at no little sacrifice, for money was not plenty in his home, he was sent to a good school and afterward to college, from which he graduated at the age of Sixteen years. With no social position and without friends in high places to help him, this boy nevertheless came to be one of the most famous men of his time, and to-day he is honored, famous, prosperous, and rich. He has more medals and decorations than he could ever conveniently wear, and wherever people talk about pictures his name is known as that of one of the greatest of modern artists.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 30: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part II., May, 1903, to October, 1903And there appeared, silent as ghosts, a herd of fallow deer on the edge of the deep-shadowed woods: splendid young bucks with horns still in velvet, soft and large; timid does watch ing warily, one eye on the little long-limbed fawns. And the sun, filtering through the green leaves, touched here and there the tawny, spot ted coats, turning them to gold. And presently two stags, proud of their newly grown antlers, stepped out from the herd into the sunlight, and approached with queer stiff-legged little steps, now holding the head high in royal pose, then lowering it with pointed muzzle and ears thrown forward, and always ready to spring away on the instant to the safety of the Shadows and the company of the herd.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 14: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part I., November, 1886 to April, 1887 How many' Of you know what an old home stead is? Those of you'who do will perhaps be quite indignant with me for asking such a ques tion; but in these days, when almost everybody is trying, as hard as he can, not_only to live in a handsomer house than that in which his grand father lived, but in a handsomer house than that in which he himself lived a year ago, it is not easy for children to have many associations with their temporary homes. Even those of you who know what an Old homestead is, probably think of it as some nice big Old house away off in the country, without any neighbors, Where peopl-e go for a month or two in summer for the sake of the Old associations. But I know where there is a Whole City of home steads. It a veritable city, with paved streets, gas - lamps, a_ Custom-house, 'and a mayor. But almost all of its citizens dwell in. Old home steads, the homes of their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers. There are few really modern houses in the place, for, although there are plenty of Queen Anne Window-panes, they date back to the era of genuine Small windows, and every one who stays in Portsmouth, or who comes to Portsmouth, is far too anxious to dwell in a home stead to think of building a house Cut bias, as are 'the latest capric-es of architecture zit-newport or in New Jersey. Our very town itself has the generous air of being an old homestead, with its splendid old elms, its ministers who never think of staying less than twenty five years in its pulpits.

Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 31: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part II., May, 1904, to October, 1904Between the stanzas there fell a stillness. There seemed not the least murmur of a leaf, not the slightest whisper of the air, to mar the wondrous silence.As the music of the hymn at last died away, there rang out over Oxford wild, joyous bells announcing the ist of May. The sleeping city must waken now and join in praise of the springtime.If this celebration of May morning were all a solemnity, it would be out of character. It would be neither the Englishman nor the college boy that would take such a ceremony altogether seriously.To the astonishment of the grave Alice and to the delight of Barbara, just as Magdalen's bells began to ring, the undergraduates seized one another's caps and gowns, and sent them flying over the tower battlements. The black winged gowns looked like huge birds fluttering and circling in the air. The fun was great when a cap alighted on a high roof or a gown floated gracefully into a tree-top. This was one of the eagerly awaited opportunities of the col lege scout, who turned a penny by rescuing stray caps and gowns.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 27: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part II., May, 1900, to October, 1900The boy can best become a good man by being a good boy - not a goody-goody boy, but just a plain good boy. I do not mean that he must love only the negative virtues; I mean he must love the positive virtues also.Good, in the largest sense, should include whatever is fine, straightforward, clean, brave, and manly. The best boys I know - the best men I know are good at their studies or their business, fearless and stalwart, hated and feared by all that is wicked and depraved, incapable Of submitting to wrong-doing, and equally incapable of being aught but tender to the weak and helpless. A healthy-minded boy should feel hearty contempt for the coward, and even more hearty indignation for the boy who bullies girls or small boys, or tortures ani mals. One prime reason for abhorring cowards is because every good boy should have it in him to thrash the objectionable boy as the' need arises.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 11: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part 1., November, 1883, to April, 1884IT was the 25th of November, 1783 - a brill iant day, clear, crisp, and invigorating, with just enough of frosty air to flush the eager cheeks and nip the inquisitive noses of every boy and girl in the excited crowd that filled the Bowery lane from Harlem to the barriers, and pressed fast upon the heels of General Knox's advance detach ment of Continental troops marching to the posi tion assigned them, near the tea-water pump. _ar. Some points the crowd was especially pushing and persistent, and Mistress Dolly Duane was decidedly uncomfortable. For little Dolly detested crowds, as, in fact, she detested everything that interfered with the comfort of a certain dainty little maiden of thirteen. And she was just on the point of ex pressing to her cousin, young Edward Livingstone, her regret that they had not staid to witness the procession from the tumble-down gate-way of the Duane country-house, near the King's Bridge road, when, out from the crowd, came the sound of a child's voice, shrill and complaining.Keep off, you big, bad man, it said; keep off and let me pass. How dare you crowd me so, you wicked rebels?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
