In the winter of 1824, there set in a great flood upon that town--the tide rose to an incredible height: the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction.

The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington.

The priesthood was not an office of dominion, but of service, and its prerogatives ceased when service was not rendered. Dominion was not granted to one person as God's Vicar on earth, but the King was as much God's Vicar as the Pope; nay, every Christian held his rights immediately of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down Over the waste of waters; like a veil,  Which, if withdrawn, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59917]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down Over the waste of waters; like a veil,  Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown   Of one whose hate is mask'd but to assail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Defensively, I thought we played pretty well with the exception of a couple plays.
