For only one night's view of the pale phantoms rising from the scenes of our too long neglect; and from the thick and sullen air where vice and fever propagate together, raining the tremendous and social retributions which are ever pouring down, and ever coming thicker!
"Dickens As an Educator"
James L. (James Laughlin) Hughes

"The White Squaw"
Mayne Reid
The wind swept in gusts through the trees, and seemed by its dismal yellings, to utter warnings of the dreadful retributions he was about to inflict.
"The Scottish Chiefs"
Jane Porter
