"Many years have passed since that terrible day, but I can never forget
it. As long as the history of this country lasts, Indian Spring will be

Directions for Reading.--Should the second or third paragraph of the
lesson be read the faster?
When do we speak more rapidly--in telling an exciting story, or in
common conversation?
Do our feelings guide us when we speak slowly or rapidly?--when, we
speak quietly or forcibly?
Point out three paragraphs in the lesson that you would read as slowly
as Lesson XIII.; three that you would read more rapidly.
In reading rapidly, be careful not to omit syllables, and not to run
words together. (See Directions for Reading, page 42.)[05]
