Their history though checquered had been an honorable one; their father, Abraham, had in the spirit of faith migrated to the west and settled in a new country. From small beginnings they had grown to be a great people. Illustrious names crowded their annals, faith and patriotism were the watchwords of their fathers, deeds of chivalry were celebrated in their songs.

An old and much-honored club of university undergraduates would seem almost predestined to this...
...back as the time of ancient Assyria. Many are undoubtedly survivals of ancient religious rites, such as those which celebrate the sowing of seed and the gathering in of the harvest. In this case, as often happens, children have preserved in their games ceremonies which were practiced by grown persons. Similarly other children's games are plainly survivals of practices which attended the early form of marriage by capture...
