  141. p. 302, line 16Go, dear friend, if need be give up all else, and commence to-day to inure yourself to pluck, reality, self-esteem, definiteness, elevatedness,

  157. p. 360, line 4Again, sailing in my coaster on deck, I coast off Georgia, I coast up the Carolinas,
  158. p. 360, line 16O to be a Virginian where I grew up! O to be a Carolinian!
  159. p. 361, line 12The winter snows, the sleigh-bells, the broken ice in the river, passing along up or down with the flood-tide or ebb-tide,
  160. p. 364, line 11It shall yet stand up the soldier of ultimate victory.
  161. p. 367, line 12After thy many battles in which never yielding up a gun or a color,
  162. p. 367, line 14Thou yieldest up thyself.
