  • UNDERNEATH protected branches, from the highway just aloof;

    Stands the house of Grand'ther Baldwin, with its gently sloping roof.

    Square of shape and solid-timbered, it was standing, I have heard,

    In the days of Whig and Tory, under royal George the Third.

  • 小霍雷肖·阿尔杰(Horatio Alger Jr.,1832年-1899年),美国儿童小说作家。作品有130部左右,大都是讲穷孩子如何通过勤奋和诚实获得财富和社会成功。

    Horatio Alger, Jr. (1834-99) was a prolific writer of dime novel stories for boys. From the debut of his first novel, Ragged Dick, in 1867, Alger was instrumental in establishing a new genre of dime novels known as the 'city story.' The genre arose out of the wide-spread urbanization that followed the Civil War and paralleled the rise of industrialism. Alger's stories heroicized the young street urchins living in poverty among large, urban centers such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. With uncommon courage and moral fortitude, Alger's youths struggle against adversity to achieve great wealth and acclaim. These rags to riches stories were enormously popular with the public and flourished in the decades from 1870 to 1890.
