Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Silhouettes of American Life Nothing could well be more commonplace or ignoble than the corner of the world in which Miss Dilly now spent her life. A wayside inn, near a station on the railway which runs from Salisbury, in North Carolina, up into the great Appalachian range of mountains; two or three unpainted boxes of houses scattered along the track by the inn; not a tree nor blade of grass in the "clarin"; a few gaunt, long-legged pigs and chickens grunting and cackling in the muddy clay yards; beyond, swampy tobacco fields stretching to the encircling pine woods. For Sevier Station lay on the lowland; the mountains rose far to the west, like a blue haze on the horizon. The railway ran like a black line across the plain, and stopped at their foot at a hamlet called Henry's; thence an occasional enterprising traveller took "the team" up the precipitous mountain road to Asheville, then a sleepy village unknown to tourists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Leaves: Familiar Notes of Thought and Life The papers that make up this volume were written at leisure hours, of late years, on the spur of various occasions and experiences, and, with a single exception, they have in substance appeared in Harper's Monthly Magazine. They of course differ widely in style and topic, and range freely into various fields of thought and observation, yet they agree in being in close sympathy with American life in treating the struggles, fears, hopes, and aspirations of our common lot. There is no attempt at the regular order of an ethical or philosophical treatise, yet there is something of interior unity in the volume, and attentive readers may perhaps own that there is more of the reality than the show of careful and consistent thinking. Some thirteen years ago the Harper Brothers invited me to write for their Magazine, and I have done so more or less frequently since. If my humble experience is worth quoting, I will say honestly what has been the result of the effort. It seemed to me an awkward and difficult thing for a man perhaps over-scholastic in his thoughts and studies to write for the many in the most popular of American magazines, and I began with a good deal of diffidence. Now, after these years of occasional service, I can express my gratitude to the Monthly for two principal reasons - one of them expected, the other unexpected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Life: A Narrative of Two Years' City and Country Residence in the United States IN submitting these few sheets to the public, the authoress Wishes to be considered as presenting a faithful record of her observations, and of events as they occurred Within the limits of her experience, during her continuance in the United States. Whenever she has felt herself called upon to give an opinion, she has endeavoured impartially to comply; and when, in delineating characters, she has been compelled to draw upon fiction for names, in order to avoid inflicting an injury by an unnecessary exposure; it may be concluded with certainty that the names alone are fictitious, and that the individuals represented are correctly de pioted in their proper colours. While employed in preparing this small volume for the press, that opinion, so frequently expressed by the Americans, has often occurred to her: viz.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silhouette, 1923, Vol. 20 But such a tide as moving seems asleep, T 00 full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep T urns again home. Dr. Gaines has gone Home. One day he stepped out of his oflice - not just across the hall to be away for a moment on some errand of service, but into the Radiant Life to be gone for always in the perfect service of the King. Just the fact that: he has gone away is so strange, so new, so difficult to comprehend that we, who in our love for him would have him near, cannot think yet of Agnes Scott without him; 'we cannot think of the campus, the chapel, his othee - his college without his own familiar, beloved figure. But through all the strangeness and sor row of these past days, there has been shining into our hearts the light of one quiet thought; he has but gone Home. Quietly from his family, from his friends, from his college and his girls, Dr. Gaines has passed on. Because we know that he has but laid down his life and his work to take it up again, we cannot mourn without comfort when that which drew from out the boundless deep, turns again home. Because the source of his life and power was God always, there can be no sting in death, or victory in the grave. Though in sorrowing for our friend, we have passed through the valley of the shadow, yet even in sorrow we have irresistibly felt that the death of him whose strength was God was triumphant - the triumphant entering into Life. We thrilled to that conviction as, in those last, simple, loving sentences, we sang his favorite hymns; as we listened to the reading of those passages of the Bible which he himself had many times read for the comfort of the distressed; as we stood by his open grave and witnessed the last tribute of his Senior class. And even as we go about the doing of the little and the big things that make up our lives, we shall thrill again to that same conviction of the greatness of triumphant living and dying. We grieve that he has gone from us in person. We miss him so. But our sadness is touched with the light of a great thankfulness - thankfulness for the life which -he lived in simplicity, in strength and in sincerity; for the college which he dreamed of and toiled for, and loved into being; for his spirit that is inseparable from the spirit of Agnes Scott. May it be given to us, the students of the college that is the dream and the crown of his life, that with something of his goodness, his faith, his vision of high things, we may carry ou.
