Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories by American Authors I have often thought that, were one wise enough, there might be found, in every room, a centre to which all sound must converge. Nay, that per haps such a focus had already been discovered by some one who has wished to appear wiser than his neighbors, who has made use of some hitherto un known scientific fact, and has on any one occasion, or on many occasions, thus made himself the centre of information.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories by American Authors, Vol. 1 Ome, now, there may as well be an end of this Every time I meet your eyes squarely I detect the question just slipping out of them. If you had spoken it, or even boldly looked it if you had shown in your motions the least sign of a fussy or fidgety concern on my account; if this were not the evening of my birthday, and you the only friend who remembered it if confession were not good for the soul, though harder than sin to some people, of whom I am one, - well, if all reasons were not at this instant converged into a focus, and burning me rather violently in that region where the seat of emotion is supposed to lie, I should keep my trouble to myself. Yes, I have fifty times had it on my mind to tell you the whole story. But who can be certain that his best friend will not smile - or, what is worse.

Download or read book Short Stories of the New America Classic Reprint written by Mary A. Laselle and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Stories of the New America The purpose of this book of short stories of modem American life is twofold. First, these narratives give an interpretation of certain great forces and movements in the life of this age. All the authors represented are especially qualified to describe with force and feeling some phase of contemporary life. Thinking people everywhere realize that it is not enough to place before young folks the bare facts in regard to community and national life. The heart must be warmed, the feelings must be stirred, before the will can be aroused to noble action in any great movement. The first aim of this book, then, is to help to place clearly before young people the ideals of America through the medium of literature that will grip the attention and quicken the will to action. Second, librarians have stated that there are very few compilations of modem short stories of interest and significance with which to meet the needs of young people who turn to the libraries for help in reading. It is hoped that this book may supply the need of libraries and homes for a book of live and valuable short stories.

The father was a wool comber and weaver, and all the near neighbors were weavers. When the boy went to school he studied and played with the children Of weavers; and when he went to church he knelt before an altar that belonged specially to the weavers. He would probably have become a weaver himself if Genoa had not been a seashore town. The wharves were not far from his home; and even when he went to walk on the hills back Of the city, he could not help seeing the white-sailed ships coming and going. When he was fourteen, he sailed away on one Of them, and for fourteen years he went on one voyage after another. Between the voyages he helped his father comb wool and weave.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from America First: One Hundred Stories From Our Own History When children advance beyond the nursery age, no story is so wonderful as a true story. Fiction to them is never as appealing as fact. I have often been faced with the inquiry: whether or not a story is a true one. The look of gratification, when told that it actually happened, was most satisfying to me as a story-teller. The nearer a story is to the life and traditions of the child, the more eagerly it is attended. True stories about our own people, about our neighbors and friends, and about our own country at large, are more interesting than true stories of remote places and people. We naturally are interested in our own affairs, and the nearer they are to us the greater the interest we feel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children's Stories in American Literature, 1660-1860 One Sunday morning, about the year 1661, a group of Indians was gathered around a noble-looking man, listening to a story he was reading. It was summer and the day was beautiful, and the little Indian children who sat listening were so interested that not even the thought of their favorite haunts by brookside or meadow could tempt them from the spot. The story was about the life of Christ and his mission to the world, and the children had heard it many times, but to-day it seemed new to them because it was read in their own language, which had never been printed before.
