Excerpt from The Gates Ajar One week; only one week to-day, this twenty-first of February. I have been sitting here in the dark and thinking about it, till it seems so horribly long and so horribly short; it has been such a week to live through, and it is such a small part of the weeks that must be lived through, that I could think no longer, but lighted my lamp and opened my desk to find something to do. I was tossing my paper about, - only my own: the packages in the yellow envelopes I have not been quite brave enough to open yet, - when I came across this poor little book in which I used to keep memoranda of the weather, and my lovers, when I was a schoolgirl. I turned the leaves, smiling to see how many blank pages were left, and took up my pen, and now I am not smiling any more. If it had not come exactly as it did, it seems to me as if I could bear it better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1870 edition. Excerpt: ...bit of a hint in Daniel about Gabriel, who, 'being caused to fly swiftly, touched him about the time of the evening oblation.' " " But do you not make a very material kind of heaven out of such suppositions?" "It depends upon what you mean by 'material.' The term does not, to my thinking, imply degradation, except so far as it is associated with sin. Dr. Chalmers has the right of it when he talks about ' spiritual materialism.' He says in his sermon on the New Heavens and Earth, --which, by the way, you should read, and from which I wish a few more of our preachers would learn something, --that we ' forget that on the birth of materialism, when it stood out in the freshness of those glories which the great Architect of Nature had impressed upon it, that then the " morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." ' I do not believe in a gross heaven, but I believe in a reasonable one." 4.th. We have been devoting ourselves to feminine vanities all day out in the orchard. Aunt Winifred has been making her summer bonnet, and I some linen collars. I saw, though she said nothing, that she thought the crepe a little gloomy, and I am going to wear these in the mornings to please her. She has an accumulation of work on hand, and in the afternoon I offered to tuck a little dress for Faith, --the prettiest pink barege affair pale as a blush rose, and about as delicate. Faith, who had been making mud-pies in the swamp, and was spattered with black peat from curls to stockings, looked on approvingly, and wanted it to wear on a flag-root expedition tomorrow. It seemed to do me good to do something for somebody after all this lonely and--I suspect--selfish idleness. 6th. I read a little of Dr. Chalmers to-day, and went laughing to...

Excerpt from Val of Paradise Paradise! What words shall one choose to tell of it and those who made it - of its beauty, its strength and its arrogance? In a land where distance hazed the southern skyline, where tawny buttes and mesas stood majestically against the blue, where bunch-grass levels swept toward the illimitable west and the Blind Trail Hills rose stark and forbidding upon the east, it lay like the heart of peace itself, smiling in the sun, green with its wide alfalfa fields beneath its living waters. Tall cottonwoods weaved and whispered in the little winds that blew always from the south and a high-topped palm or two stood like sentinels to guard its gates. Where Bluewater, the great sweet spring that boiled eternally in its stone-flagged patio, ran out beneath the trees, there purple iris grew beside the trickle, and water hyacinth. Worn, old-fashioned chairs and benches stood hospitably on the clean-swept earth where the poplars made their shaking shade, and hammocks, gay with fringe, swung in the little breezes.
