Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauty and ugliness form a contrast which is presented to us every day of our lives, though, perhaps, we may not be much impressed by the fact. And this contrast is presented in ever-varying aspects.We do not, however, draw the reader's attention to one of the striking aspects of the contrast-such as is presented by the hippopotamus and the gazelle, or the pug with the "bashed" nose and the Italian greyhound. It is to one of the more delicate phases that we would point-to that phase of the contrast wherein the fight between the two qualities is seen progressing towards victory, and ugliness is not only overborne but overwhelmed by beauty.For this purpose we convey the reader to a scene of beauty that might compare favourably with any of the most romantic spots on this fair earth-on the Riviera, or among the Brazilian wilds, or, for that matter, in fairyland itself.It is a garden-a remarkably small garden to be sure, but one that is arranged with a degree of taste and a display of fancy that betokens the gardener a genius. Among roses and mignonette, heliotrope, clematis and wallflower, chrysanthemums, verbenas and sweet-peas are intertwined, on rustic trellis-work, the rich green leaves of the ivy and the graceful Virginia creeper in such a manner that the surroundings of the miniature garden are completely hidden from view, and nothing but the bright blue sky is visible, save where one little opening in the foliage reveals the prospect of a grand glittering river, where leviathans of the deep and small fry of the shallows, of every shape and size, disport themselves in the blaze of a summer sun.

Book excerpt: Sudden Friendships.In the midst of the great wilderness--we might almost say the wilds--of that comparatively unknown region which lies on the Surrey side of the Thames, just above London Bridge, there sauntered one fine day a big bronzed seaman of middle age.

Book excerpt: The sailor glanced in all directions, but was unable to see the owner of the voice until a slight cough-if not a suppressed laugh-caused him to look up, when he perceived the sharp, knowing, and dirty face of a small boy, who calmly contemplated him from a window not more than a foot above his head.
