The Two Powers And Other Original Tales With Miscellaneous Pieces In Prose And Verse PDF Download

Excerpt from The Two Powers: And Other Original Tales; With Miscellaneous Pieces in Prose and Verse; Being the First of a Series Entitled the Australian "Once-a-Year" Christmas is a time for unbending. Business relaxes its plodding muscles and softens and yields to the spirit of the season. Shops, whether ministering to the comfort of the outer or inner man, put forth their daintiest wares; those that provide our intel lectual treats, serve them under the most attractive covers, and unknown toys start forth to meet the juvenile gaze, largely exciting the organs of wonder, admiration, and acquisitiveness! Public amusements invite us, in letters a yard tall, to come and be fascinated. Pantomimes rake up the ashes of Cinderellas, stir up Sleeping Beauties, and rub up old Aladdin's Lamps to enchant, charm, and bewilder us making children stare, adults grin, and even grey beards wag.
