Fifty "Bab" Ballads - Much Sound and Little SenseMuchSound and LittleSenseW. S. Gilbert1Fifty "Bab" Ballads - Much Sound and Little SenseFifty "Bab" Ballads - Much Sound and Little SenseTHE "BAB BALLADS" appeared originally in the columns of "FUN,"when that periodical was under the editorship of the late TOM HOOD.They were subsequently republished in two volumes, one called "THEBAB BALLADS," the other "MORE BAB BALLADS." The periodduring which they were written extended over some three or four years;many, however, were composed hastily, and under the discomfortingnecessity of having to turn out a quantity of lively verse by a certain day inevery week. As it seemed to me (and to others) that the volumes were...　

FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENTHE ICE MAIDENby Hans Christian AndersenI. LITTLE RUDYWE will pay a visit to Switzerland, and wander through thatcountry of mountains, whose steep and rocky sides are overgrown withforest trees. Let us climb to the dazzling snow-fields at theirsummits, and descend again to the green meadows beneath, through whichrivers and brooks rush along as if they could not quickly enough reachthe sea and vanish. Fiercely shines the sun over those deep valleys,as well as upon the heavy masses of snow which lie on the mountains.During the year these accumulations thaw or fall in the rollingavalance, or are piled up in shining glaciers. Two of these glaciers...　

话说宋江大军灭了江南方腊，普天同庆之时，燕青在一个月圆之夜，弃加官进爵之锦绣前程于不顾，在杭州不辞而别，漫漫黑夜里一个人遁去了。次日清晨，大军准备班师回朝，去东京受天子册封。燕青手下军士慌慌张张跑来，告知宋公明，燕青头领昨夜在军中留下一无皮书信，上面只写了“告辞”二字。说毕将书信呈给了宋江。宋江大惑不解，闷闷不乐去找卢俊义问个究竟。燕青从小跟着卢俊义，卢俊义不会不知道个中缘由。卢俊义听得说，欲言又止，被宋江一再催问，终于如实相告道：“燕小乙昨夜三更天来了一趟，说是被一怪梦惊醒，梦很荒诞，道是我卢俊义来年八月份将有血光之灾，劝我和他纳还原受官诰，此去隐姓埋名，寻个僻静之处，以终天年。我卢俊义为人堂堂正正，不信鬼神，一心要报效朝廷，自是没听他的。他见劝不动我，就说不给你公明哥哥告别了，怕你重情义不肯放他，月夜里走了。临走丢下句话来，说明年七八月份他燕小乙必来保我于左...　

序言　　　叹、叹、叹，　　叹隙中驹、石中火、梦中身……　　第一章　戏　　　“锵锵锵锵、锵锵”，点灯时分，一阵锣鼓响过，“勾兑楼”的一场新戏又要开场了。“勾兑楼”算是杨州城有名的戏楼了，门口的名筹戏码、台上的帝王将相，都是杨州城每日从早到晚不时被一张张闲嘴提起的谈资。杨州是这么个城市，天晴时节，车马一过，灰尘飞舞；一下起雨，街两旁的阴沟里就积满了泥，——但繁华还是它的繁华，它就这么在轻如灰尘的浮躁与浊如泥水的疲重中没心没肺地喧闹着。　　戏场正对着杨州城有名的‘瘦马街’，白天人还少，一到晚上，却人来人往，喧喧闹闹。杨州城繁华的特点只有一个字：闹。闹中如何取乐？在杨州人看来，只有闹中之闹。　　台上的戏文一般都简单纯粹，但锣鼓声喧，台下却只有一个字能形容：乱。戏场是九流杂处的地方，台上悬了明角灯，后面的看楼上坐了不少官绅眷属，台前正下面的板凳席上坐着一干平常讨生活的小民...　

洗衣店在旧区角落位置，老大的中英文红漆标志“洁如新”，Brand New、由太公创办，留到我们这一代，历史悠久。本来只是小小一间两层高木屋，上居下铺，市政府历史博物馆里有我们王家铺子的发黄旧照片，太公与儿孙及伙计蹲在门口，给外国记者拍摄。轮到祖父，王家做出成绩来，华侨靠的不外是勤同俭，不怕辛苦不怕脏。传说是这样的：一位住在山上的银行大班夫人自巴黎置回一件晚礼服，预备在新市长就职晚会中穿着，一心要艳压群芳。不料被女佣熨焦了一角，且是胸前，十分碍眼。那位基尼斯太太颇算大方，并无责罚女仆，但是女仆内疚，拿着衣服，四处找人织补。人家同情她，对她说：“你到王家洁如新去试一试，店里有位老太太，擅织补，鬼斧神功。”那老太太，指我家曾祖母，当时已有七十多岁，可是精神伙矍鑠。她看到了晚服，笑笑说：“放下吧，明早来取。”当天晚上，不知老人家用出什么手段，织好了那块杯口大小破洞，又把袍子熨得滑...

，，吉檀迦利1小说^t*xt-天.堂1你已经使我永生，这样做是你的欢乐。这脆薄的杯儿，你不断地把它倒空，又不断地以新生命来充满。这小小的苇笛，你携带着它逾山越谷，从笛管里吹出永新的音乐。在你双手的不朽的按抚下，我的小小的心，消融在无边快乐之中，发出不可言说的词调。你的无穷的赐予只倾入我小小的手里。时代过去了，你还在倾注，而我的手里还有余量待充满。2当你命令我歌唱的时候，我的心似乎要因着骄傲而炸裂，我仰望着你的脸，眼泪涌上我的眶里。我生命中一切的凝涩与矛盾融化成一片甜柔的谐音——我的赞颂像一只欢乐的鸟，振翼飞越海洋。我知道你欢喜我的歌唱。我知道只因为我是个歌者，才能走到你的面前。我用我的歌曲的远伸的翅梢，触到了你的双脚，那是我从来不敢想望触到的。在歌唱中的陶醉，我忘了自己，你本是我的主人，我却称你为朋友。3我不知道你怎样地唱，我的主人！我总在惊奇地静听。...　

《故事会》创刊40年了，40年铸就的辉煌足以使为之奋斗的人们陶醉，但是，编辑部的同志如这本刊物一样平实，不事声张，不搞庆贺，而是平声静气地总结和反思走过的不平凡历程，试图解开《故事会》何以成为中国期刊出版的神话这个谜，于是有了这本《解读》的书。　　一本普普通通的刊物，传统的小32开本，装帧谈不上时尚，封面也没有“大美人”吸引人的眼球，可是它40年来送给读者一串串美妙动人的故事，却在中国期刊出版史上树起了一座丰碑，这的确是一个谜，一个奇迹。据中国故事期刊协会2002年6月15日的统计，全国共有52种故事类期刊，月发行量863万册左右，而其中《故事会》的发行量近400万册，几乎占“半壁江山”。据世界期刊联盟(FIPP)编辑的《世界期刊概况》统计，1999年在世界发行量最大的综合性文化类期刊的排行榜中，《故事会》名列第五位。近10年来，它获得了一连串的荣誉：1994年，在中央电视台主办的“全国青少年喜爱的电...

Yesterday evening, on passing Carlisle, a telegraphic message was put into my hand, announcing the fact of the "Foam" having been obliged to put into Holyhead, in consequence of the sudden illness of my Master. As the success of our expedition entirely depends on our getting off before the season is further advanced, you can understand how disagreeable it is to have rece...　

The Complete Writings of Charles Dudley Warner Volume 4by Charles Dudley WarnerCONTENTS:BEING A BOYON HORSEBACKBEING A BOYOne of the best things in the world to be is a boy; it requires no experience, though it needs some practice to be a good one. The disadvantage of the position is that it does not last long enough; it is soon over; just as you get used to being a boy, you have to be something else, with a good deal more work to do and not half so much fun. And yet every boy is anxious to be a man, and is very uneasy with the restrictions that are put upon him as a boy. Good fun as it is to yoke up the calves and play work, there is not a boy on a farm but would rather drive a yoke of oxen at real work. What a glorious feeling it is, indeed, when a boy is f...

THE WHITE DUCKOnce upon a time a great and powerful King married a lovelyPrincess. No couple were ever so happy; but before theirhoneymoon was over they were forced to part, for the King had togo on a warlike expedition to a far country, and leave his youngwife alone at home. Bitter were the tears she shed, while herhusband sought in vain to soothe her with words of comfort andcounsel, warning her, above all things, never to leave thecastle, to hold no intercourse with strangers, to beware of evilcounsellors, and especially to be on her guard against strangewomen. And the Queen promised faithfully to obey her royal lordand master in these four matters.So when the King set out on his expedition she shut herself up...

"FREE SHIPS MAKE FREE GOODS"_To the U.S. Minister to France_(ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON)_Monticello, Sep. 9, 1801_DEAR SIR, You will receive, probably by this post, from theSecretary of State, his final instructions for your mission toFrance. We have not thought it necessary to say anything in them onthe great question of the maritime law of nations, which at presentagitates Europe; that is to say, whether free ships shall make freegoods; because we do not mean to take any side in it during the war.But, as I had before communicated to you some loose thoughts on thatsubject, and have since considered it with somewhat more attention, Ihave thought it might not be unuseful that you should possess my...　

Eugene Pickeringby Henry JamesCHAPTER I.It was at Homburg, several years ago, before the gaming had beensuppressed. The evening was very warm, and all the world wasgathered on the terrace of the Kursaal and the esplanade below it tolisten to the excellent orchestra; or half the world, rather, for thecrowd was equally dense in the gaming-rooms around the tables.Everywhere the crowd was great. The night was perfect, the seasonwas at its height, the open windows of the Kursaal sent long shaftsof unnatural light into the dusky woods, and now and then, in theintervals of the music, one might almost hear the clink of thenapoleons and the metallic call of the croupiers rise above thewatching silence of the saloons. I had been strolling with a friend,...
