cannot help wondering how this cheerful, if somewhat peculiar custom
originated! In course of time Tansies came to be eaten only about
Easter-time and the practice seems to have acquired at one period the
lustre almost of a religious rite in which superstition had a
considerable share. Coles (1656) and Culpepper (1652) rebel against this
and show with force and clearness the advantages of eating Tansies
throughout the spring. Coles ignores the ceremonial reasons and says
that the origin of eating it in the spring is because Tansy is very
wholesome after the salt fish consumed during Lent, and counteracts the
ill-effects which âthe moist and cold constitution of winterâ has made
on people... âthough many understand it not and some simple people take
it for a matter of superstition to do so.â This shows plainly that the
idea of eating Tansies only at Easter, was pretty widely spread.
Culpepper as usual is more incisive. He first gives the same reason
that Coles does for eating Tansies in the spring; then: âAt last the
world being over-run with Popery, a monster called superstition pecks up
his head, and... obscures the bright beams of knowledge by his dismal
looks; (physicians seeing the Pope and his imps, selfish, began to do so
too), and now, forsooth, Tansies must be eaten only on Palm and Easter
Sundays and their neighbour days. At last superstition being too hot to
hold, and the selfishness of physicians walking in the clouds; after the
friars and monks had made the people ignorant, the superstition of the
time, was found out by the virtue of the herb hidden and now is almost,
if not altogether left off. Scarcely any physicians are beholden to none
so much as they are to monks and friars; for wanting of eating this herb
in spring, maketh people sickly in summer, and that makes work for the
physician. If it be against any man or womanâs conscience to eat Tansey
in the spring, I am as unwilling to burthen their conscience, as I am
that they should burthen mine; they may boil it in wine and drink the
decoction, it will work the same effect.â âThe Pope and his impsâ is a
grand phrase! A more militant Protestant than Culpepper it would be
difficult to find, even in these days.
From other writers, it seems that the phase of associating Tansies
exclusively with Easter, must have worn itself out, for we find many
descriptions of them on distinctly secular occasions. At the Coronation
Feast of James II. and his Queen, a Tansie was served among the 1445
âDishes of delicious Viandsâ provided for it, and I must quote some of
the others:--âStagâs tongues, cold; Andolioes; Cyprus Birds, cold and
Asparagus; a pudding, hot; Salamagundy; 4 Fawns; 10 Oyster pyes, hot;
Artichokes; an Oglio, hot; Bacon, Gammon and Spinnage; 12 Stump Pyes; 8
Godwits; Morels; 24 Puffins; 4 dozen Almond Puddings, hot; Botargo;
Skirrets; Cabbage Pudding; Lemon Sallet; Taffeta Tarts; Razar Fish; and
Broom Buds, cold.â[52] These are only a very few out of an immense
variety that are also named.
Many recipes for a âTansyâ exist, and very often have only the slightest
resemblance to one another, but this is rather a nice one and is
declared by its transcriber to be âthe most agreeable of all the boiled
Herbaceous Dishes.â It consists of: âTansey, being qualifyâd with the
juices of other fresh Herbs; _Spinach_, _green Corn_, _Violet_,
_Primrose Leaves_, etc., at entrance of the spring, and then fryâd
brownish, is eaten hot, with the Juice of Orange and Sugar.â Isaac
Walton speaks of a âMinnow Tansy,â which is made of Minnows âfried with
yolks of eggs; the flowers of cowslips and of primroses and a little
tansy; thus used they make a dainty dish of meat.â Our ancestors seem to
have had a great love of âbatter,â for it is a prominent part in very
many of their dishes. Mrs Milne Home says, âIn Virginia the Negroes make
Tansy-tea for colds and at a pinch, Masârâs cook will condescend to use
it in a sauce,â but in English cookery, it has absolutely disappeared.
Tansy had many medicinal virtues. Sussex people used to say that to wear
Tansy-leaves in the shoe, was a charm against ague.
Wild Tansy looks handsome when it grows in abundance on marshy ground;
and, indeed, its feathery leaves are beautiful anywhere, and it has a
more refreshing scent than the Garden-Tansy. âIn some parts of Italy
people present stalks of Wild Tansy to those whom they mean to
insult,â[53] a proceeding for which there seems neither rhyme nor
reason. Turner tells tales of the vanity of his contemporaries,
masculine as well as feminine, for he says:
âOur weomen in Englande and some men that be sunneburnt and would be
fayre, eyther stepe this herbe in white wyne and wash their faces with
the wyne or ellis with the distilled water of the same.â

And for the chiefest cherisher she lent
The royal thistleâs milky nourishment.
_Br. Pastorals_, Book i.
The history, legends, and traditions surrounding Thistles in general,
make far too large a subject to be entered on here, and only these two
varieties can be considered. _Carduus Marianus_, the Milk or Dappled
Thistle, has sometimes been called the Scotch Thistle, and announced to
be the Thistle of Scotland. As a matter of fact, I believe, that after
long and stormy controversy, that honour has been awarded to _Carduus
Acanthioides_, but the Milk Thistleâs claims have received very strong
support, and so it seems most probable, considering the context, that
when Browne referred to the âRoyal Thistle,â it was this one that he
meant. This supposition is borne out by Hogg, who writes: âAs Ray says,
it is more a garden vegetable than a medicinal plant. The young and
tender stalks of the root leaves when stripped of their spiny part, are
eaten like cardoon, or when boiled, are used as greens. The young
stalks, peeled and soaked in water to extract their bitterness, are
excellent as a salad. The scales of the involucre are as good as those
of the artichoke, and the roots in early spring are good to eat.â The
seeds supply food to many small birds, and it is from the gold-finch
feeding so extensively on them that it has been called _Carduelis_. This
partiality of the gold-finch must have been observed in several lands,
for the same name occurs in different tongues. In England, it has been
called Thistlefinch | [

gaily in the creek. Robin yarded them all carefully every evening, for
there were many foxes in the bush, a terror to every country
poultry-yard.
The months since the death of her uncle had been, for her mother and
herself, a time of absolute happiness. They were busy, but never
oppressed with work. The house was much too large for them, but most of
the rooms had been shut up, after undergoing a rigorous spring-cleaning.
They slept on the veranda, and took most of their meals there; the
bathroom served them as dressing-room, so that housework was reduced to
its lowest possible terms, since there was no dust and no one to make
the place disorderly. Together they worked in the garden, kept
everything spick-and-span, and made a joke of each hour’s toil as it
came. There was time for play, too: they fished in the creek for trout
and blackfish, and took long walks over the hills, where many a rabbit
fell to Robin’s gun.
The peaceful, happy life had wrought a great change in Mrs. Hurst. She
looked years younger already: there was a new light in her eyes, a new
energy in her movements. Colour had returned to her white face, and
wrinkles had vanished. Robin was desperately proud of her. “When I make
you wear breeches like me and have your hair shingled,” she declared,
“everyone will think you’re my young sister!” To which Mrs. Hurst
responded that she preferred the dignity of age.
The bell rang just as Robin reached the end of her last row of peas, and
she fled to answer it with a haste that proclaimed hunger. When, after
washing her hands, she appeared on the veranda, Mrs. Hurst was waiting
for her. Robin attacked her porridge and cream ravenously.
“Isn’t it a good thing you brought me up not to take sugar with
porridge?” she remarked. “Sugar costs a lot of money, and we can’t
possibly grow it ourselves. The girls at school used to think me
perfectly mad when I said they turned their porridge into a pudding. Oh,
I am hungry, Mummie, and the runner beans are up, and I got three weeds.
Small weeds, but healthy. We can have radishes for tea to-night. More,
please.”
Mrs. Hurst disentangled these mingled confidences with the calmness of
long practice.
“My phlox seeds are up, too,” she said. “What wouldn’t come up, in
weather like this? Finish the cream, darling: I don’t want any more.
I’ve made the butter, and there will be three pounds to take down to the
store. Bessy is behaving nobly.”
Robin let the thick yellow cream trickle slowly over her porridge.
“Yes, isn’t she? Mr. Merritt was a brick to let us graze Bessy and Roany
in the creek paddock—poor dears, they’re so used to it that they would
have hated to be the wrong side of the fence!”
“It means a great deal to us,” Mrs. Hurst remarked. “Mr. Merritt is very
kind: he said he would use Roany occasionally, to pay for their grazing,
but I don’t think he has had him in the plough three times.”
“No, and it would really be better for Roany if he did use him—Roany is
getting disgracefully fat and lazy. I think he’d be frisky if it weren’t
so much bother. What is the heavenly aroma of cooking, Mummie?—you
haven’t been extravagant, have you?”
“Only potato-puffs,” said Mrs. Hurst, emerging from the kitchen with a
covered dish. “You were up so early, Robin, and you really need a good
breakfast.”
“I always have a good breakfast,” stated her daughter. “Catch me going
without! But those puffs are awfully exciting, Mummie.” She gazed fondly
at the crisp golden balls as they smoked on her plate. “I wish I could
fry things like you. No, not like you—you know what I mean.”
“So you will, when you have a little more practice. You are doing very
well as a cook. What are your plans for this morning?”
“I am going to finish painting the front fence. I thought one coat would
be enough, but it would be a better job with two. Isn’t it a mercy Uncle
Donald bought paint by the gallon? I’ve enough to do ever so much more.
What are you going to do, Mummie?”
“Mend sheets—there is a pile waiting for me. I think you had better go
to the store with the butter after lunch, Robin—if you take your gun
you may get some rabbits, coming home.”
“That’s a good idea,” agreed Robin. “Won’t you come, too?”
“No, not to-day—I want to get all the mending out of the way when once
I begin it. Replacing house-linen will be an expensive matter: we can’t
afford to let things go at all.” A faint line appeared between her
brows.
“Now, you’re worrying about money again, Mummie. And you promised you
wouldn’t.”
“I do try not to worry,” said her mother. “Now and then I can’t help it,
especially when I wake up at night. If I could only get a little reserve
in the bank, Robin—something against a rainy day.”
“But the rainy day may never come.”
“It’s far less likely to come if one has something in the bank. I don’t
know why, but it is so. We did save a little, and then my horrible
dentist’s bill ate it all up. The idea of illness makes me
afraid—supposing I fell ill, and you all alone here, without money!”
“You—you aren’t feeling ill, Mother?” demanded Robin, anxiously.
“No—not a bit. But it may come.” She laughed at the worried face. “I
really didn’t mean to talk like this; but I had a wakeful night, and all
sorts of bogies came and sat on my pillow. I would do anything if I
could earn some money—something to put by.”
“I don’t see how we can do more than we’re doing,” Robin said, knitting
her brows. “Remember, the vegetable money will begin to come in soon,
and I’ve quite a lot of rabbit skins, already. Oh, I’m sure we’ll manage
quite well, darling!” She went to her mother, putting her lips to her
hair. “If you begin to worry, things will be sure to go wrong. And we’re
so happy!”
“Yes, indeed we are,” said her mother, holding her closely for a moment.
“Well, I will try to scare the bogies away from my pillow; and after
all, there is nothing like happiness for that. Come and help me to clear
up the kitchen—we’re being disgracefully idle.”
Her sewing-machine was humming steadily when Robin passed the window an
hour later—a truly remarkable figure in blue denim overalls that had
belonged to the late Mr. Donald Hurst. They came to her insteps, ending
in an artistic fringe where superfluous length had been ruthlessly
shorn. She wore an old felt hat which had also been the property of her
uncle. It was an outfit reserved for painting; many white splashes
testified to the fact that its use was no unnecessary precaution. She
carried a can of paint and a large brush, and sang cheerfully as she
went. The strains of “Why Did I Kiss That Girl?” mingled with the
chatter of cockatoos in the tree-tops.
Mrs. Hurst looked, and smiled, and sighed. There was no doubt that Robin
asked nothing better than her present existence. She seemed to have put
away all the childish irresponsibility that had made her school career a
series of mad pranks, throwing herself into her unaccustomed work with
whole-hearted vigour and complete happiness. But it was more a boy’s
life than a girl’s—not the life that Mrs. Hurst had longed to give her.
And there was no prospect of anything better. Money anxieties were not
the only bogies that had disturbed the mother’s pillow in the night.
Robin was blissfully unconscious of any troubling thoughts. She painted
all the morning, using her brush with a fine slap-dash effect that

affixed to the first edition.
Among her scientific tastes was the study of botany, and she imported
many foreign plants and trees, striving to naturalize them. She also
had a special interest in clock-making, like her relative Charles
V. This was not, in her time, so commonplace a manufacture as it is
to-day. Her value for time, and the exact measurement thereof, carry
us back in thought to the days of her predecessor Alfred, with his
candle-measured hours.
Prepared as she was for the throne, the misfortunes of her life make
us almost believe in the power of evil stars. Her period of depression
lasted too long for her health and spirits; the doctrine of the virtue
of irresponsible feminine obedience prevented her from ever showing her
true nature, except once. Her courage and prudence at the _coup d’état_
of Northumberland, her clemency afterwards, show what she might have
been had she been allowed to act independently, as did the second royal
student of the century.
Elizabeth was born on 7th September 1533. Her stars were fortunate,
and the moon shone full upon her birth. Her physical health was
excellent; her period of depression lasted just long enough to steady
her flighty spirits and elevate her character. She was fortunate in
the kind sympathy of Katharine Parr, that excellent and learned woman,
who showed a genius for fulfilling wisely and tenderly the difficult
duties of a stepmother. Elizabeth is said to have been very precocious,
learning Latin, French, Italian, and music without difficulty. In a
letter of the Princess Mary to her father, Henry VIII, 21 July 1536,
she says: “My sister Elizabeth is well, and such a child toward as I
doubt not but your Highness shall have cause to rejoice of in time
coming.” She was four years old when her brother Edward was born, and
Sir John Cheke, being appointed his tutor, sometimes gave her lessons.
She was once reading with him when Leland called, and her tutor desired
her to address the antiquary in Latin. She immediately did so, and the
old scholar in return addressed to her four Latin verses of genuine
admiration. By the age of twelve she had considerably advanced in
history and geography, understood the principles of architecture,
mathematics, and astronomy, was fond of poetry, and studied politics
as a duty. She had a talent for languages, speaking French, Italian,
Spanish, and Flemish with facility. Her tutor Ascham tells us what
she had done in classics before she was sixteen. She had read almost
the whole of Cicero and a great part of Livy, some of the Fathers,
especially “St. Cyprian on the Training of a Maiden.” The select
orations of Isocrates and the tragedies of Sophocles were her Greek
text-books. During Mary’s reign Ascham wrote to John Sturmius:
The Lady Elizabeth and I are studying together, in the original Greek,
the crown orations of Demosthenes and schines. She reads her lessons
to me, and at one glance so completely comprehends not only the idiom
of the language and the sense of the orator, but the exact bearings
of the cause and the public acts, manners, and usages of the Athenian
people that you would marvel to behold her.
In addition to the tongues, she studied rhetoric, philosophy, and
divinity, and history remained her favourite study. In Ascham’s
“Scholemaster,” which was not published until after his death, he
praised her as being far above the ordinary university students.
Scaliger declared that she knew more than any of the great men of her
time, which was certainly flattery. But there are many apparently
genuine anecdotes of her prompt replies to foreign ambassadors in their
own tongue or in Latin.
During her happy years with her brother Edward she shared his studies
and read with him the Scriptures. He called her his “sweet sister
Temperance,” probably in allusion to that name in John Hall’s “Court of
Virtue,” in which, instead of the heathen muses, the Christian virtues
are grouped around their Queen.
Elizabeth appears early not only as a student but as an _author_. Much
of the literature of the period was translation. At the age of twelve
she rendered out of English into Latin, French, and Italian the prayers
and meditations collected out of prime writers by Queen Katharine Parr.
About the same time she translated as a treatise, published in 1548,
the “Godly Meditation of the Christian Soule, compiled in French by
Lady Margaret, Queen of Navarre, aptlie translated into English by the
ryght vertuous Lady Elizabeth, daughter to our Soveraigne Lord King
Henrie the VIII.” Appended to this was her metrical rendering of the
fourteenth Psalm; and thus, curiously enough, Queen Elizabeth appears
as the versifier of the first metrical Psalm printed _with date_. This
little volume was reprinted in 1595, again in Bentley’s “Monument of
Matrons,” and a facsimile edition was brought out by Dr. Percy Ames in
1897. Other verses are ascribed to her, and translations from Boethius
and Plutarch.
Elizabeth studied politics far more deeply than her sister; she
remained unmarried; her frivolity and flirtation often veiled astute
statecraft; she kept Lord Burleigh as her adviser, and fortune gave her
health and a long life. She guided her country, through the difficult
tides of the Reformation, into the harbour of prosperity and peace,
and her people glorified her name. She inherited the great men born in
her sister’s short reign, and other great men hastened to be born just
after her accession. All other reigns put together do not contribute
so much to the great Literature of the world.
These two remarkable sisters had two remarkable cousins, who may be
called their political victims, destined to be so through the action
of Henry VIII concerning the succession, which “made confusion worse
confounded.” But it is only as _students_ that I now discuss them.
Lady Jane Grey (1537-1553-4) was eldest daughter of the new Duke of
Suffolk, and Frances, eldest daughter of Charles Brandon, Duke of
Suffolk, and Mary, daughter of Henry VII. She had a fine genius, and
she was carefully educated under the care of Mr. Aylmer, afterwards
Bishop of London. Ballard says of her:
She understood perfectly both kinds of philosophy, and could express
herself very properly in the Latin and Greek tongues. Sir Thomas
Chaloner, her contemporary, says she was well versed in Hebrew,
Chaldee, Arabic, French, and Italian. She played instrumental music
well with a curious hand, and was excellent at her needle.
Roger Ascham, Queen Elizabeth’s tutor, tells a story of her. When he
called on her to take leave before he went abroad, he found that the
Duke and Duchess and all their household were hunting in the park.
I found her in the chamber reading “Phaedon Platonis,” in Greek.
I asked her why she preferred this to the sport in the park, and
she answered: “One of the greatest benefits that God ever gave me,
is, that He sent me so sharp and severe parents, and so gentle a
schoolmaster.”
She described how sharply they checked and corrected her, so that she
wearied for the time to come that she must go to Mr. Aylmer,
who teacheth me so gently, so pleasantly, and with such fair
allurements to learning, that I think the time all nothing while I am
with him, and when I am called from him I fall on weeping, because,
whatever I do else but learning is full of grief, trouble, fear,
and whole misliking unto me. And thus my book hath been so much my
pleasure, that all other pleasures be but trifles and very troubles
unto me.
Foxe says of her:
If her fortune had been but as good as her bringing up, joyned with
fineness of wit, she might have been comparable ... not only to any
other women that deserveth high praise for their singular learning,
but also to the university men, which have taken many degrees of the
schools.
The young king was devoted to her, and his personal affection prepared
him to fall in with Northumberland’s designs to induce him to leave
the crown to her. Her own judgment declared in favour of the accession
of Mary, and she did not wish a crown for herself. It was through
obedience to her parents only that she submitted to be proclaimed, and
went to the Tower as Queen, to remain as prisoner. Mary was inclined to

TheI

Burridge rose and went to the other part of the car--and I did not
see him again. Ridley fell to whimpering and crying, and for old
friendship’s sake, and because the poor devil is useful in his way, I
took him back at two-thirds his former pay. His gratitude was really
touching--sometimes I think he’s honestly fond of me, though no doubt
the wages and what he has free enter into it. He’s one of those fellows
who actually enjoy licking the hand they fear. Burridge did not try
to get himself reinstated. Probably he thought himself indispensable
and held aloof in the belief that I would beg him to come back. But
I was on the whole glad to get rid of him. He was too much of an
alleged gentleman for the work he had to do. There’s room for only one
gentleman in my establishment.
Into his place I put a young chap named Cress who had been near me
at the office for several years and had shown loyalty, energy, and
discretion. He was not at his new work a week before 7 days is a strange way for the world’s press to view Iran; a place I’ve only ever been from the inside rather than arriving first thing for press trips on private planes, dingley-dallied for a week while everyone stays silent over 17 execution orders on humanitarian drug conviction sentences, goes shopping in designer stores during our 5 night stay in the only foreign hotel and ends with some Iran experts bemused.
Themy wife came to
me in a hot temper and demanded that he be dismissed. “He has insulted
me!” she said, her head rearing and her nose in the air.
“How?” I asked; “I can’t discharge a faithful servant on a mere
caprice.”
“He has dared to question my accounts,” she replied, in her grandest
manner.
This was interesting! “But that’s his business,” said 7 days is a strange way for the world’s press to view Iran; a place I’ve only ever been from the inside rather than arriving first thing for press trips on private planes, dingley-dallied for a week while everyone stays silent over 17 execution orders on humanitarian drug conviction sentences, goes shopping in designer stores during our 5 night stay in the only foreign hotel and ends with some Iran experts bemused.
TheI; “that’s what I
pay him for.”
“To insult your wife?”
“To guard my money.”
“Mr. Burridge never found it necessary to insult me in guarding your
money. He ventured to assume that as your wife I was to be respected,
and----”
“Burridge had no right to assume any such thing,” I said. “He was
nothing but my machine--my cash-register. I instructed him, again and
again, to assume that everybody was dishonest. A ridiculous mess I
should make of my affairs if I did not keep a most rigid system of
checks upon everybody. You must remember, my dear, that I am beset by
hungry fellows, many of them clever and courageous, waiting for me to
relax my vigilance so that they can swoop on my fortune. I’m moving
through a swarm of parasites who prey upon my prey or upon me, and the
larger I become the larger the swarm and the more dangerous. I must
have eyes everywhere. You should be reasonable.”
She gave me a curious look. “And you’re so sublimely unconscious of
yourself!” she said. “That is why you are so terrible. But it saves you
from being repulsive.” I was instantly on the alert. Flattery tickles
me--and tickling wakes me. “Can’t you see, you great monster of a man,”
she went on, “that you mustn’t treat your wife and children as if they
were parasites?”
“They must keep their accounts with my fortune 7 days is a strange way for the world’s press to view Iran; a place I’ve only ever been from the inside rather than arriving first thing for press trips on private planes, dingley-dallied for a week while everyone stays silent over 17 execution orders on humanitarian drug conviction sentences, goes shopping in designer stores during our 5 night stay in the only foreign hotel and ends with some Iran experts bemused.
Thestraight,” said I.
To that point I held while she cajoled, stormed, denounced,
threatened, wept. The longer she worked upon me the more set I became,
for the more firmly I was convinced that there had been some sort of
chicanery at which that weak fool Burridge had winked. She was greatly
agitated--and not with anger--when she left me, though she tried to
conceal it. I sent for Cress and ordered him to hunt out Burridge’s
accounts and vouchers for the past fifteen years, or ever since I put
my domestic finances on the sound basis of business. I told him to take
everything to an expert accountant.
After two days’ search he reported to me that he could find accounts
for only nine years back and vouchers for only the last three years.
The rest had been lost or deliberately destroyed--contrary to my
emphatic orders. One of the curses of large affairs with limited time
and imbecile agents is the vast number of ragged ends hanging out. I
never take up any part of my business after having disregarded it for
a while without finding it ravelled and ravelling. A week later I had
the accountant’s report, reviewed by Cress. I read it with amazement.
I sent at once for my wife. I ordered Cress 7 days is a strange way for the world’s press to view Iran; a place I’ve only ever been from the inside rather than arriving first thing for press trips on private planes, dingley-dallied for a week while everyone stays silent over 17 execution orders on humanitarian drug conviction sentences, goes shopping in designer stores during our 5 night stay | [

his heart, and the two laughed together softly, for they loved each
other. But Athira grew better from that hour.
They went away together, travelling third-class by train as the
regulations provided, and then in a cart to the low hills, and on foot
to the high ones. Athira sniffed the scent of the pines of her own
hills, the wet Himalayan hills. âIt is good to be alive,â said Athira.
âHah!â said Suket Singh. âWhere is the Kodru road and where is the
Forest Rangerâs house?â...
âIt cost forty rupees twelve years ago,â said the Forest Ranger, handing
the gun.
âHere are twenty,â said Suket Singh, âand you must give me the best
bullets.â
âIt is _very_ good to be alive,â said Athira wistfully, sniffing the
scent of the pine-mould; and they waited till the night had fallen upon
Kodru and the Donga Pa. Madu had stacked the dry wood for the next dayâs
charcoal-burning on the spur above his house. âIt is courteous in Madu
to save us this trouble,â said Suket Singh as he stumbled on the pile,
which was twelve foot square and four high. âWe must wait till the moon
rises.â
When the moon rose, Athira knelt upon the pile. âIf it were only a
Government Snider,â said Suket Singh ruefully, squinting down the
wire-bound barrel of the Forest Rangerâs gun.
âBe quick,â said Athira; and Suket Singh was quick; but Athira was quick
no longer. Then he lit the pile at the four corners and climbed on to
it, reloading the gun.
The little flames began to peer up between the big logs atop of the
brushwood. âThe Government should teach us to pull the triggers with our
toes,â said Suket Singh grimly to the moon. That was the last public
observation of Sepoy Suket Singh.
* * * * *
Upon a day, early in the morning, Madu came to the pyre and shrieked
very grievously, and ran away to catch the Policeman who was on tour in
the district.
âThe base-born has ruined four rupeesâ worth of charcoal wood,â Madu
gasped. âHe has also killed my wife, and he has left a letter which I
cannot read, tied to a pine bough.â
In the stiff, formal hand taught in the regimental school, Sepoy Suket
Singh had writtenâ
âLet us be burned together, if anything remain over, for we have made
the necessary prayers. We have also cursed Madu, and Malak the brother
of Athiraâboth evil men. Send my service to the Colonel Sahib Bahadur.â
The Policeman looked long and curiously at the marriage-bed of red and
white ashes on which lay, dull black, the barrel of the Rangerâs gun. He
drove his spurred heel absently into a half-charred log, and the
chattering sparks flew upwards. âMost extraordinary people,â said the
Policeman.
â_Whe-w, whew, ouiou_,â said the little flames.
The Policeman entered the dry bones of the case, for the Punjab
Government does not approve of romancing, in his Diary.
âBut who will pay me those four rupees?â said Madu.

Thereâs a convict more in the Central Jail,
Behind the old mud wall;
Thereâs a lifter less on the Border trail,

_The Running of Shindand._
I
The Indus had risen in flood without warning. Last night it was a
fordable shallow; to-night five miles of raving muddy water parted bank
and caving bank, and the river was still rising under the moon. A litter
borne by six bearded men, all unused to the work, stopped in the white
sand that bordered the whiter plain.
âItâs Godâs will,â they said. âWe dare not cross to-night, even in a
boat. Let us light a fire and cook food. We be tired men.â
They looked at the litter inquiringly. Within, the Deputy Commissioner
of the Kot-Kumharsen district lay dying of fever. They had brought him
across country, six fighting-men of a frontier clan that he had won over
to the paths of a moderate righteousness, when he had broken down at the
foot of their inhospitable hills. And Tallantire, his assistant, rode
with them, heavy-hearted as heavy-eyed with sorrow and lack of sleep. He
had served under the sick man for three years, and had learned to love
him as men associated in toil of the hardest learn to loveâor hate.
Dropping from his horse, he parted the curtains of the litter and peered
inside.
âOrdeâOrde, old man, can you hear? We have to wait till the river goes
down, worse luck.â
âI hear,â returned a dry whisper. âWait till the river goes down. I
thought we should reach camp before the dawn. Polly knows. Sheâll meet
me.â
One of the litter-men stared across the river and caught a faint twinkle
of light on the far side. He whispered to Tallantire, âThere are his
camp-fires, and his wife. They will cross in the morning, for they have
better boats. Can he live so long?â
Tallantire shook his head. Yardley-Orde was very near to death. What
need to vex his soul with hopes of a meeting that could not be? The
river gulped at the banks, brought down a cliff of sand, and snarled the
more hungrily. The litter-men sought for fuel in the wasteâdried
camel-thorn and refuse of the camps that had waited at the ford. Their
sword-belts clinked as they moved softly in the haze of the moonlight,
and Tallantireâs horse coughed to explain that he would like a blanket.
âIâm cold too,â said the voice from the litter. âI fancy this is the
end. Poor Polly!â
Tallantire rearranged the blankets; Khoda Dad Khan, seeing this,
stripped off his own heavy-wadded sheepskin coat and added it to the
pile. âI shall be warm by the fire presently,â said he. Tallantire took
the wasted body of his chief into his arms and held it against his
breast. Perhaps if they kept him very warm Orde might live to see his
wife once | [

1. _Distinguished as the object of the Divine choice._--"The elect of
God"--chosen by Him, as an act of undeserved, unmerited mercy, to the
knowledge of Himself and His glorious salvation; called out of
darkness and translated into the kingdom of His dear Son. This
election is a condition of exalted privilege to which all rise who
accept the message of God's mercy through Jesus Christ.
2. _Distinguished by personal purity._--"Holy." Here is the evidence
and practical result of the Divine election. "Chosen in Christ before
the foundation of the world, that they should be holy and without
blame before Him in love" (Eph. i. 4). The people of God are called
to be holy--consecrated to His service; set apart from a common and
wholly devoted to a sacred purpose. Holiness is the habitual
condition, aim, delight, and employment of the Christian's life.
3. _Distinguished by the Divine affection._--"Beloved." The believer
is the object of God's special love, of the favour which He beareth
unto His people. "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath
bestowed on us that we should be called the sons of God." The
epithets here used have each the force of a motive. Since the
believer is _elect, holy, beloved,_ let him act in harmony with his
exalted character and calling. Lavater has said, "The more honesty a
man has, the less he affects the air of a saint."
+II. That the Christian character is distinguished by a heartfelt
sympathy.+--1. _This sympathy arises from a spirit of tender mercy._
"Bowels of mercies" (ver. 12)--a phrase which expresses the effect on
the body of strong emotions of pity. It was said of Joseph that "his
bowels did yearn over his brethren, and he sought where to weep." The
miseries of our fellow-creatures, especially of those who are in a
worse condition than ourselves, call for our compassion and help; and
a genuine pity is not only visible in the countenance and uttered by
the lips, but felt in the inmost heart, and prompts to generous
actions.
2. _This sympathy arises from a spirit of kindness._--"Kindness"
refers to the temper we should show towards those we meet in the
daily intercourse of life who are on an equality with ourselves. The
Christian should be amiable, courteous, kind in speech and action,
eager to relieve others according to his means--the farthest remove
from a crabbed, sullen, churlish disposition. A hard, cold, selfish,
unfeeling heart is a characteristic of fallen, unrenewed man; _bowels
of mercies_ and _kindness_ of the renewed one.
+III. That the Christian character is distinguished by a genuine
humility.+--"Humbleness of mind" (ver. 12). These words describe the
estimate that is to be formed of self. The believer is taught not to
overrate nor unduly to depreciate himself. He is governed by the
apostolic rule, "Let each esteem other better than themselves." The
more exalted his views of God, and the more he remembers his own
unworthiness, weakness, ignorance, and sin, the more softly and lowly
does he seek to walk. As in the garden that branch hangs down the
lowest which is most heavily laden with fruit, so in the Church the
ripest saints are those who walk humbly with God. The humble man is
the most susceptible to compassion and genuine in its practical
manifestation. The proud man is too full of himself to feel for
others; he is always dissatisfied, always embroiling in quarrels the
family, the Church, the social circle where he resides. The humblest
man is the bravest man. He endures with composure the contempt and
arrogance of others.
+IV. That the Christian character is distinguished by a gentle and
patient spirit.+--"Meekness, longsuffering" (ver. 12).
1. _The Christian spirit is gentle._--"Meekness." This grace
indicates what should be our conduct towards others in their
treatment of us. Meekness is evidenced in modesty of countenance,
gentleness of manner, softness of voice, and mildness of language; it
is opposed to rudeness or harshness. We see it exemplified in the way
in which Gideon pacified the irascible men of Ephraim (Judg.
viii. 2). It is slow to take, and scorns to give, offence.
2. _The Christian spirit is patient._--"Longsuffering," which is
meekness continued, though subjected to the fiercest provocations. It
is opposed to resentment, revenge, wrath. Meekness exercises itself
in matters of chagrin, impertinence, folly; longsuffering in those of
violent outrage, affront, injury. Meekness may be required by the
mere _manner_ of others towards us; longsuffering is often necessary
by their _conduct._ There is a difference between enduring long and
longsuffering. The genuine grace is accompanied, not only with
patience, but with joyous activity and watchfulness. It is not like
the senseless rock which endures the full force of the storm unmoved
and unresponsive, but like the nimble vessel that, while it bends to
the tempest, is at the same time diligently speeding on its mission.
+V. That the Christian character is distinguished by a practical
manifestation of a spirit of mutual forbearance and
forgiveness.+--1. _Mutual forbearance and forgiveness are to be
exercised universally._ "Forbearing one another and forgiving one
another, if any man have a quarrel against any" (ver. 13). The word
"quarrel" is better rendered _complaint._ It takes two to make a
quarrel, and of these the Christian should never be one. Whatever
occasion of offence may arise, whatever cause of complaint, in any
man, under any circumstances, and however just the complaint may
appear, forbearance is to be exercised; and even if the forbearance
is abused and injury be added, we must forgive. It is never on one
side only that the fault exists. It is one another, each in his turn,
that gives and receives forbearance. If this were more frequently
observed, how many unseemly discords and mischievous separations
would be prevented!
2. _The exercise of forgiveness is enforced by the highest
example._--"Even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye" (ver. 13).
These words come as an impressive climax, enforcing the duty of
forgiveness by the strongest motive. The more difficult the duty, the
more powerful should be the arguments urging its performance. The
example of Christ is supreme in its authority. What are the injuries
committed by others against us compared with the number and enormity
of our sins against God? Yet Christ forgave us all, freely, fully,
unreservedly, and for ever. The heart that is not moved to
forgiveness by such an example is hopelessly incorrigible.
+Lessons.+--1. _The unity of Christian character is made up of many
separate essential graces._ 2. _The condition of things in this world
affords ample scope for the exercise of every Christian grace._
3. _To forgive is at once the most difficult and most Christ-like._
_GERM NOTES ON THE VERSES._
Ver. 12. _Christian Humility._
+I. The nature of this holy temper.+--1. _A humble apprehension of
our own knowledge._ The imperfection of our faculties, our
fallibility of judgment, when we compare our knowledge with the
attainments of others, and a persuasion of the small value of the
most exalted knowledge without practical influence. 2. _Of our own
goodness._ 3. _Of our independence and wants._ 4. _Of our own rank
and station._
+II. The obligations to cultivate a humble temper.+--1. _It is
mentioned in Scripture with peculiar marks of distinction and
honour._ The most distinguished promises are made to it. It is a
necessary introduction to other graces and duties. 2. _It is a grace
which adorns every other virtue and recommends religion to every
beholder._ 3. _Is recommended to us by the example of the Author and
Finisher of our faith._ | [

519 | 8,572 | 1 | [1129] and Eusebius in
his reply to Hierocles ascribed the miracles wrought by Apollonius
to sorcery and the aid of evil demons.[1130] Earlier the satirist
Lucian described Alexander the pseudo-prophet as having been in his
youth an apprentice to “one of the charlatans who deal in magic and
mystic incantations, ... a native of Tyana, an associate of the great
Apollonius, and acquainted with all his heroics.”[1131]
[Sidenote: A confusion of terms]
In defending his hero against these charges Philostratus is guilty
himself both of some ambiguous use of terms and of some loose thinking.
The same ambiguous terminology, however, will be found in other
discussions of magic. In a few passages Philostratus denies that
Apollonius was a μάγος but much oftener exculpates him from the charge
of being a γης or γοτης. With the latter word or words there is no
difficulty. It means a wizard, sorcerer, or enchanter, and is always
employed in a sinister or disreputable sense. With the term μάγος the
case is different, as with the Latin _magus_. It may signify an evil
magician, or it may refer to one of the Magi of the East, who are
generally regarded as wise and good men. This delicate distinction,
however, is not easy to maintain and Philostratus fails to do so,
while Mr. Conybeare in his English translation[1132] makes confusion
worse confounded not only by translating μάγος as “wizard” instead
of “magician,” but by sometimes doing this when it really should be
rendered as “one of the Magi.” It may also be noted that Philostratus
locates the Magi in Babylonia as well as in Persia.
[Sidenote: The Magi and magic]
To begin with, in his second chapter Philostratus says that some
consider Apollonius a magician “because he consorted with the
Magi of the Babylonians, and the Brahmans of the Indians, and the
Gymnosophists in Egypt.” But they are wrong in this. “For Empedocles
and Pythagoras himself and Democritus, although they associated with
the Magi and spake many divine utterances, yet did not stoop to the
art” (of magic). Plato, too, he goes on to say, although he visited
Egypt and its priests and prophets, was never regarded as a magician.
In this passage, then, Philostratus closely associates the Magi with
the magic art, and I am not sure whether the last “Magi” should not
be “magicians.” On the other hand his acquittal of Democritus and
Pythagoras from the charge of magic does not agree with Pliny, who
ascribed a large amount of magic to them both.
[Sidenote: Apollonius and the Magi.]
Apollonius himself evidently did not regard the Magi whom he met in
Babylon and Susa as evil magicians. One of the chief aims of his scheme
of oriental travel “was to acquaint himself thoroughly with their
lore.” He wished to discover whether they were wise in divine things,
as they were said to be[1133]. Sacrifices and religious rites were
performed under their supervision[1134]. Apollonius did not permit
Damis to accompany him when he visited the Magi at noon and again about
midnight and conversed with them[1135]. But Apollonius himself said
that he learned some things from them and taught them some things;
he told Damis that they were “wise men, but not in all respects”; on
leaving their country he asked the king to give the presents which
the monarch had intended for Apollonius himself to the Magi, whom
he described then as “men who both are wise and wholly devoted to
you.”[1136]
[Sidenote: Philostratus on wizards.]
Quite different is the attitude towards witchcraft and wizards of both
Apollonius and his biographer. In the opinion of Philostratus wizards
are of all men most wretched[1137]. They try to violate nature and
to overcome fate by such methods as inquisition of spirits, barbaric
sacrifices, incantations and besmearings. Simple-minded folk attribute
great powers to them; and athletes desirous of winning victories,
shopkeepers intent upon success in business ventures, and lovers in
especial are continually resorting to them and apparently never lose
faith in them despite repeated failures, despite occasional exposure
or ridicule of their methods in books and writing, and despite the
condemnation of witchcraft both by law and nature.[1138] Apollonius
was certainly no wizard, argues Philostratus, for he never opposed the
Fates but only predicted what they would bring to pass, and he acquired
this foreknowledge not by sorcery but by divine revelation.[1139]
[Sidenote: Apollonius and wizards.]
Nevertheless Apollonius is frequently accused of being a wizard
by others in the pages of Philostratus. At Athens he was refused
initiation into the mysteries on this ground,[1140] and at Lebadea the
priests wished to exclude him from the oracular cave of Trophonius for
the same reason.[1141] When the dogs guarding the temple of Dictynna
in Crete fawned upon him instead of barking at his approach, the
guardians of the shrine arrested him as a wizard and would-be temple
robber who had bewitched the dogs by something that he had given
them to eat.[1142] Apollonius also had to defend himself against the
accusation of witchcraft in his hearing or trial before Domitian.[1143]
He then denied that one is a wizard merely because one has prescience,
or that wearing linen garments proves one a sorcerer. Wizards shun the
shrines and temples of the gods; they make use of trenches dug in the
earth and invoke the gods of the lower world. They are greedy for gain
and pseudo-philosophers. They possess no true science, depending for
success in their art upon the stupidity of their dupes and devotees.
They imagine what does not exist and disbelieve the truth. They work
their sorcery by night and in darkness when those employing them
cannot see or hear well. Apollonius himself was accused to Domitian
of having sacrificed an Arcadian boy at night and consulted his
entrails with Nerva in order to determine the latter’s prospects of
becoming emperor.[1144] When before his trial Domitian was about to
put Apollonius in fetters, the sage proposed the dilemma that if he
were a wizard he could not be kept in bonds, or that if Domitian were
able to fetter him, he was obviously no wizard.[1145] This need not
imply, however, that Apollonius believed that wizards really could free
themselves, for he was at times ironical. If so, Domitian replied in
kind by assuring him that he would at least keep him in fetters until
he transformed himself into water or a wild beast or a tree.
[Sidenote: Quacks and old-wives.]
Closely akin to the _goëtes_ or wizards are the old hags and
quack-doctors who offer one Indian spices or boxes supposed to contain
bits of stone taken from the moon, stars, or depths of earth.[1146]
Likewise the divining old-wives who go about with sieves in their hands
and pretend by means of their divination to heal sick animals for
shepherds and cowherds.[1147] We also read that Apollonius expelled
from the cities along the Hellespont various Egyptians and Chaldeans
who were collecting money on the pretense of offering sacrifices to
avert the earthquakes which were then occurring.[1148]
[Sidenote: The Brahmans.]
We have heard Philostratus mention the Brahmans of India in the same
breath with the Magi of Persia and imply that Apollonius’s association
with them contributed to his reputation as a magician.[1149] In another
passage[1150] Philostratus places _goëtes_ and Brahmans in unfortunate
juxtaposition, and, immediately after condemning | [

CHAPTER CXXII.
THE TRIAL OF THE DETECTIVESââPEACEâS VISIT TO BOW-STREET.
Although Charles Peace was what is termed playing a game of
hide-and-seek, and to play this game effectually it is usually deemed
advisable to court publicity as little as possible, Mr. Thompsonââas
he called himselfââdid not choose to pursue this course of action. He
went abroad, and paid frequent visits to places of public resort, and
was as self-possessed and confident as if he had no oppressive weight
on his conscience, no heinous crimes to answer for. In point of fact,
he assumed all the airs and graces of a man who had done nothing but
meritorious acts throughout his life.
It was at this time that the town was startled by the extraordinary
detective case in which the convicts Kurr and Benson played so
conspicuous a part. The confidence of the public was suddenly shaken
in the whole system of the detective department of this country, and
it was only after an overwhelming weight of evidence had been brought
forward, that they could give credence to the startling revelations of
bribery and corruption practised by Kurr and his accomplices upon paid
officers of the Crown. Far be it from us to stigmatise the whole force
as corrupt and unreliable. There are doubtless many good men, many
intelligent, active, and praiseworthy officers to be found, but the
machinery appears to be too cumbersome to be put in motion with
sufficient rapidity to be of much service in cases of murder or
manslaughter. We have alluded to this in a previous chapter, and since
that was written, events have occurred which strengthen us in our
opinion.
The Scotland-yard detective department is, and has been for years
past, miserably inefficient in tracing out the perpetrators of the
heinous crime of murder, and we are convinced that, sooner or later,
it will be requisite, for justice sake, as well as for the safety of
the public at large, that some better organised body of men will have
to be formed to meet this crying evil.
Murders are rife in the land, and it is perfectly appalling the number
of murderers who escape the strong arm of the law, which of late seems
to be almost paralysed in dealing with crimes of this nature.
Charles Peace had read in the papers the report of the first inquiry
into the charge made against the four detectives. He was greatly
interested in the case, for, said he, with a sort of chuckleââ

Hi Ms, thanks...and when it answered my purpose Iâve
bribed them; but this I only did when my dodgery failed. Iâll go and
have a squint at these beauties when they come up for their next
examination.â
âIâm sure Iâd do nothing of the sort, if I were you,â observed his
wife. âWhat good can it do you? Talk about womenâs curiosity, why itâs
nothing in comparison to yours.â
âMind your own business, you fool,â answered Peace sharply. âLeave me
to be the best judge of my own actions.â
âOh, well, Iâve done. You know best, I suppose. I only made the remark
for your own good. I shouldnât have thought you had any desire to be
seen in Bow-street Police-court.â
âI have a desire, and thatâs sufficient. Iâm as safe there as I am
here. More so, perhaps.â
It may, and doubtless it does, appear singular that Peace should have
had any desire to disport himself in the court referred to, but it is,
nevertheless, a fact, he was present at one of the examinations of the
detectives, and this has since been proved beyond all question.
The court was crowded almost to suffocation when the detective case
came on, and Peace had the greatest difficulty in elbowing his way in.
The Bow-street court, as most of our readers know, is miserably small,
and inconvenient. As far as the public is concerned it could not very
well be worse in the way of accommodation. It has for years been
acknowledged to be ill adapted for the purpose for which it was
constructed.
Peace found this out. He was a little man, and behind him was a man of
elephantine dimensions, who kept bearing the greater portion of his
weight on his shoulders.
âI wish youâd not press on me in this manner,â said our hero to his
tormentor.
âI canât help it, the people are shoving behind. Donât blame me.â
âOrder! Silence in the court!â cried the usher.
âBut Iâm half stifled,â observed Peace. âCanât you make room for me
somewhere?â
âNo, every place is occupied.â
âIf you donât like it go out,â said the big man.
Peace, who was dressed in a suit of black, with his silver spectacles
on his nose, and looked a mild meek old gentleman of the Pickwickian
order, again remonstrated in a soft gentle voice.
âWhatâs the matter?â inquired a stout-built good-natured looking man,
as he elbowed his way through the throng.
âOld gentlemanâs hardly pressed, and can scarcely breathe,â answered
one of the persons in the rear, and who evidently commiserated our
heroâs situation.
The stout person, who seemed to be dressed in a little brief
authority, touched Peace on the shoulder, and said in a whisperââ
âFollow meââthis way.â
Peace, nothing loth, did as he was bid.
He was taken by his conductor from the body of the court and passed in
to that portion of it where the lawyers, barristers, and other persons
of a nondescript order thread their way. Here he was comparatively
comfortableââthat is, as comfortable as it is possible to be in this
precious sample of a court of justice, which is, perhaps, not saying
much.
His conductor stood by his side on the same platform.
âI donât know how to thank you sufficiently for this act of kindness,â
observed our hero.
âDonât mention it, sir, I beg,â returned the gentleman, who, if the
truth must be told, had mistaken Peace for another and more exalted
person.
Presently the four detectivesââMeiklejohn, Druscovich, Palmer, and
Clarkeââwere brought in. They took up their stations, and were joined
by Mr. Froggatt the solicitor. Mr. Poland proceeded to state the case.
After he had concluded, Mr. Superintendent Williamson was called.
It will be needless for us to give a detailed account of the
proceedings, as the result has long since been patent to everybody. It
will suffice for our purpose to note that Peace became on friendly and
familiar terms with the gentleman who had been of such service to him.
They conversed freely during the dayâs examination, and when the court
rose Peace asked his companion to have a glass of wine.
âWell,â observed the latter, âI donât mind if I do; but Iâve not as
yet dined.â
âNor have I,â said Peace; âare you going to have your dinner in the
neighbourhood?â
âYes,â was the ready response.
âWell, so am I. Suppose we dine together somewhere.â
âYes, Iâll do so with the greatest pleasure.â
They adjourned to a neighbouring tavern, where they met a friend of
Peaceâs companion, whom the latter introduced as a Mr. Shearman, who,
it is perhaps needless to mention, was the American detective who had
the charge against Doctor Bourne in hand.

Every one looked virtuously shocked that a woman should be so
abandoned as to refer to her husband as such, but apparently the
impropriety furnished a not disagreeable excitement, for the ladies
gathered a little closer and listened eagerly. The Khanum alone
remained unmoved.
âHow is this, then?â she asked. âIs not the sick Farangi thy brother,
lady?â
âNot a bit of it!â Eveleen sat back on her heels, still holding the
Khanumâs dress, and felt--without realising the reason--the thrill
that went round as she lifted her eyes to her audience. âMy brother is
only a boy. This is my husband, that Iâve followed over land and sea,
after he came back for me when Iâd waited twenty years for him.â Ketty
followed as interpreter, but Eveleen began to suspect that her Persian
was about on a par with her English when she saw the blank look on the
ladiesâ faces. She did her best, therefore, to repeat what she had
said, and between the two some measure of understanding followed. The
Khanum looked more sympathetic.
âIt is told me the Farangi ladies are like the Turki women north of
the mountains, who ride unveiled with their lords--even to war,â she
said, and Eveleen followed the words anxiously and painfully. âBut how
is it this Farangi Sahib was not slain?â
âHe was sick--not wounded in battle,â explained Eveleen. âI was taking
him to the sea to heal him, for the sea heals all the ills of the
English.â

âAh, but it couldnât really----â Eveleen was beginning, and then

would disabuse the ladiesâ minds of their belief either in her power
or in that of the stone. âI was angry,â she confessed. âMy husband
gave the talisman to the Khan without consulting me.â
âAnd it was thine own possession?â asked the Khanum, with evident
sympathy.
âMy very own--given to me when I was married by the uncle who brought
me up.â There was quite a chorus of sympathy now, but Jamal-ud-dinâs
mother struck a jarring note.
âAnd if it was,â she said querulously, âwhat better can his Highness,

A little discussion arose. Jamal-ud-dinâs mother held to her view of
the case, Kamal-ud-dinâs wives--not unnaturally--taking the other,
though timidly and with due deference to their seniors. One of them
thought that as the Farangi woman had a husband already, it was
unnecessary to provide her with another; the To be released in June/ October

inclined, and said that in a world where such a thing as constancy was
hardly to be found, it was a pity to make away with the one man who
had proved himself faithful. The Khanum, listening and pondering, made
it clear at last that she took a wider view of the matter.
âIs it true that by my sonâs command, the Farangi Sahib is in no
danger of death for the present?â she asked.
âThat was his promise, Khanum.â
âAnd the gratitude that is his due--hast thou shown that? In return
for the boon of life for thy lord, is good fortune once more to smile
upon my sonâs house?â
Eveleen was taken aback. âI wish him--and have wished him--all

are adept at tarring-and-feathering, riding on rails, and lynching
abolitionist villains, probably out of consideration for the Negro’s
welfare. Slavery is sometimes considered as not the Negro’s final
state; at some indefinite time (probably after the planters had all
become wealthy) he would be returned to Africa to bear witness to the
civilization and Christianity he had seen in America. And lastly, the
arguers are betrayed by their argumentative tactics: It isn’t true;
but since it is, you are worse. Thus: it isn’t true that slavery is a
bad system, it is really a fine thing--no worse than the northern and
English system of wage-slavery, which is terrible. Proslavery authors
were justified in protesting the exploitation of northern factory
workers, but to argue that therefore slavery was blessed, is to prove
that a man’s broken leg is not painful since another man has a broken
arm.

CHAPTER III
ANTISLAVERY FICTION
_Growth of the Attitude._ The opposition to slavery, which began
almost as soon as the first slaves were brought here, found literary
expression in colonial times and especially in the eighteenth century,
when honorable voices denounced slavery as “the most unremitting
despotism on the one hand, and degrading submissiveness on the other.”
It was not until the eighteen thirties, however, that the antislavery
crusade took on full force, moving “from resistance to the slave power
... to death to slavery.” In 1831, the year of Nat Turner’s famous
revolt, the Antislavery Society was established, and William Lloyd
Garrison published the first number of his _Liberator_.
In addition to the pamphlets strewn on “the wayside, the parlor,
the stage coach, the rail car and the boat deck,” slave narratives
became a literary weapon. The experiences of fugitive slaves intrigued
abolitionists who took down their stories, sometimes for newspaper
sketches such as Isaac Hopper’s _Tales of Oppression_, and sometimes
for fictionalized biographies such as _A Narrative of the Life and
Adventures of Charles Ball, A Black Man_ (1838), _Recollections of
Slavery_ (attributed to a runaway slave, 1838) and _The Narrative of
James Williams_ (1838). In 1839 Theodore Weld, as important in the
antislavery crusade as Garrison, produced _Slavery As It Is_, a book of
facts “authenticated by the slave-holders themselves [yet containing]
but a tiny fraction of the nameless atrocities gathered from the papers
examined.” Written to combat “the old falsehood that the slave is
kindly treated that has lullabied to sleep four-fifths of the free
North and West,” this was the most popular antislavery publication
before _Uncle Tom’s Cabin_.
When antislavery fiction appeared, therefore, it found an audience
prepared, and the arguments, the characters and a literary form set up.
_Before Uncle Tom’s Cabin._ The first antislavery novel was published
anonymously in 1836 as _The Slave_, or _Memoirs of Archy Moore_.
Enlarged in 1852, it was renamed _The White Slave_, and claimed by
Richard Hildreth, the historian. Archy Moore, son of his master,
Colonel Moore, marries an octoroon, Cassy. Forced to run away, since
the colonel desires Cassy for himself, they are captured and sold to
different masters. Archy is sold and resold, until in South Carolina
he and Tom, an embittered rebel, take to the swamps, finding a colony
of outlawed slaves. Ferreted out of there, Archy, because of his light
color, manages to escape to the North; Tom becomes the wild scourge
of the region. Archy goes to Europe, attains some education and
wealth, and redeems his wife from slavery. Though written in highflown
language, and not so dramatic as _Uncle Tom’s Cabin_, _The White
Slave_ is still vigorous. Certain characters--the white slave, the
octoroon girl, the insurrectionist, the unfeeling Yankee overseer, and
the lustful planter--are to reappear in later novels. The arguments,
though slowing up the action, are cogent and informed. Hildreth
obviously studied the slaves in his sojourn: his delineation includes
hypocritical humility, sullenness, vindictiveness, intractability,
cunning, courage, the contempt of house-servants for field hands, and
of mulattoes for darker Negroes. The loyalty of some slaves to their
masters, and their treachery to their fellows, are explained largely
as policy for gain. Although occasionally heightened and unfair, _The
White Slave_ is one of the most important novels of this controversial
period.
Herman Melville’s allegory _Mardi_ (1849) has bitter antislavery
protest and wise prophecy in the sections that describe Vivenza (the
United States). A slave with red marks of stripes upon his back is
observed hoisting a standard, correspondingly striped, over the
Capitol, the temple dedicated to Liberty. Hieroglyphics read “All men
are born free and equal;” minute hieroglyphics add “Except the tribe of
Hamo.” In the south of Vivenza, the strangers see
Under a burning sun, hundreds of collared men ... toiling in
trenches.... Standing grimly over these, were men unlike them; armed
with long thongs, which descended upon the toilers.
After close scrutiny the strangers, in amazement, swear that the
slaves are men. For this they are branded as “firebrands, come to
light the flame of revolt.” The southern spokesman exclaims: “The
first blow struck for them dissolves the Union of Vivenza’s vales.
The northern tribes well know it.” Melville warns northerners not to
feel self-righteous, and does not malign southerners, since “the soil
decides the man,” and they have grown up with slavery. Some slaves even
seem happy, but Melville adds significantly “not as men.” Melville is
perplexed about the solution, and fatalistically concludes that “Time
must befriend these thralls,” but he is certain that slavery is “a
blot, foul as the crater-pool of hell.”
The first woman to turn the novel to antislavery uses was Emily
Catherine Pierson, who felt that too few readers knew of the thousands
of runaways who had gained freedom. _Jamie, The Fugitive_ (1851)
introduces the hero in a newspaper advertisement of a runaway, and
takes leave of him in an invoice as one of “Ten Bales of Humanity,
in a thriving condition, late from three plantations in Virginia.”
In between we get descriptions of life in the cabins and fields, of
“nigger-buyers,” slave sales, slave-pens and caravans, and of the
hazards of the fugitive stealthily pursuing his way under the “eaves
of the Alleghanies,” befriended only by the North Star. Mrs. Pierson’s
book is pious and sentimental, but her characters, though slightly
sketched, are believable human beings.
The same author writes in _Cousin Franck’s Household_ (1852):
Were we content to be an humble imitator, we know of no one whom we
should be prouder to follow than the noble author of that wonderful
work “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” But we owe it to ourselves to say that our

In Facebook's terms, the social graph is the name given to the collective pool of information shared between friends that are connected via the site.
It includes things such as photos, status updates, location data as well as the things they have "liked".
Until now, Facebook's search had been highly criticised for being limited and ineffective.
The company's revamped search was demonstrated to be significantly more powerful. In one demo, Facebook developer Tom Stocky showed a search for queries such as "friends of friends who are single in San Francisco".
The same technology could be used for recruitment, he suggested, using graph search to find people who fit criteria for certain jobs – as well as mutual connections.
Such queries are a key function of LinkedIn, the current dominant network for establishing professional connections.
"We look at Facebook as a big social database," said Mr Zuckerberg, adding that social search was Facebook's "third pillar" and stood beside the news feed and timeline as the foundational elements of the social network.
Perhaps mindful of privacy concerns highlighted by recent misfires on policies for its other services such as Instagram, Facebook stressed that it had put limits on the search system.
"On graph search, you can only see content that people have shared with you," developer Lars Rasmussen, who was previously the co-founder of Google Maps, told reporters.

[9]. Page 65.â_I will give thee my girdle._ This magic girdle, which
confers invulnerability on its owner, is a noticeable feature of our
story. It is found nowhere else in this connection, yet in other
romances we find that Gawain possesses a girdle with similar powers
(cf., my _Legend of Sir Gawain_, Chap. IX.). Such a talisman was
also owned by Cuchulinn, the Irish hero, who has many points of
contact with Gawain. It seems not improbable that this was also an
old feature of the story. I have commented, in the Introduction, on
the ladyâs persistent wooing of Gawain, and need not repeat the
remarks here. The Celtic _Lay of the Great Fool_ (_Amadan Mor_)
presents some curious points of contact with our story, which may,
however, well be noted here. In the _Lay_ the hero is mysteriously
deprived of his legs, through the draught from a cup proffered by a
_Gruagach_ or magician. He comes to a castle, the lord of which goes
out hunting, leaving his wife in the care of the Great Fool, who is
to allow no man to enter. He falls asleep, and a young knight
arrives and kisses the hostâs wife. The Great Fool, awaking, refuses
to allow the intruder to depart; and, in spite of threats and
blandishments, insists on detaining him till the husband returns.
Finally, the stranger reveals himself as the host in another shape;
he is also the _Gruagach_, who deprived the hero of his limbs, and
the Great Foolâs brother. He has only intended to test the _Amadan
Morâs_ fidelity. A curious point in connection with this story is
that it possesses a prose opening which shows a marked affinity with
the âPercevalâ _enfances_. That the Perceval and Gawain stories
early became connected is certain, but what is the precise
connection between them and the Celtic _Lay_ is not clear. _In its
present form_ the latter is certainly posterior to the Grail
romances, but it is quite possible that the matter with which it
deals represents a tradition older than the Arthurian story.
[10]. Page 88.â_Morgain le Fay, who dwelleth in my house._ The enmity
between Morgain le Fay and Guinevere, which is here stated to have
been the _motif_ of the enchantment, is no invention of the author,
but is found in the _Merlin_, probably the earliest of the Arthurian
_prose_ romances. In a later version of our story, a poem, written
in ballad form, and contained in the âPercyâ MS., Morgain does not
appear; her place is taken by an old witch, mother to the lady, but
the enchantment is still due to her spells. In this later form the
knight bears the curious name of _Sir Bredbeddle_. That given in our
romance, _Bernlak de Hautdesert_, seems to point to the original
French source of the story. (It is curious that Morgain should here
be represented as extremely old, while Arthur is still in his first
youth. There is evidently a discrepancy or misunderstanding of the
source here.)
[11]. Page 90.â_A baldric of bright green, for sake of Sir Gawain._âThe
later version connects this _lace_ with that worn by the knights of
the Bath; but this latter was _white_, not _green_. The knights wore
it on the left shoulder till they had done some gallant deed, or
till some noble lady took it off for them.

persons. But I say, Charlie, is it true that Mrs. Maitlandâs daughter,
she whom young Gatliffe married, turned out to be the grand-daughter
of a nobleman?â

is true enough. Sheâs left Tomââso I hear.â
âMore shame to her. He was the best of husbands, and doated on the

Itâs the way of the world, my darlingââhas always been so, and always

âWell, youâve put her into a good thing, and I daresay she is
grateful.â
âBah!â exclaimed Peace, âdonât be a fool, Emma. Grateful indeed! She
didnât condescend to even honour me with a passing notice as she
entered Broxbridge Hall.â
âDidnât she, though?â
âNo, not even a nod.â
âThe proud, ungrateful upstart.â
âHereâs my little drum,â said Peace, opening the door of the house
with his latch-key. âCome in and see Mary.â
The girl did as she was bid, and the three were in a short time after
this in familiar converse.
A few days after this Emma James became an inmate of the
establishment.
She lived with Peace for a short period, during which he made her
useful in disposing of property the proceeds of his various robberies.
It was not possible for him to remain long without having recourse to
his dishonest practices. To this propensity he joined a great love of
playing the fiddle and a fancy for birds and animals.
He committed several burglaries at Sheffield about this time, and in
most cases he patronised the west end of the town.
His favourite plan was to pick out good substantial-looking houses
with a portico.
Taking advantage of a favourable opportunity he would climb up the
columns and enter the house by the window over the doorway.
He was partial to the hour when the family were at dinner downstairs,
and he went about his business with such celerity that he usually had
a good booty out of the house before the diners had got to the length
of the kickshaws and trifles with which they finished their feast.
No doubt while he lifted valuables upstairs he did so to the clinking
of glasses and the play of the knife and fork downstairs; the merry
jest and animated conversation, no doubt, doing him good service in
drowning any little noise he might accidentally make in the course of
his operations.
Cunning and clever as our hero was he might have escaped âtroubleâ for
a long time, but for his passion for the society of the softer sex.
Emma James was taken into custody for offering for sale a pair of
boots acquired in their way of trade, and Peace coming to her rescue
was lodged in durance vile.
The scoundrel, as we already signified, resided in the same house with
James and a married sister; and a search of the latterâs house, made
by the police, brought to light a large quantity of stolen property.
Then the amiable brother and sister tried their hardest each to shift
the onus of the crime on each other.
The reports of the magisterial examination and trial of Peace and his
two confederates cannot fail to be interesting to the reader.
In the _Sheffield and Rotherham Independent_, of October 14th, 1854,
we find the following:ââ
STEALING WEARING APPAREL.
TUESDAY.ââPresentââW. Overend, Esq., R. Bayley, Esq., and H.
W. Wilkinson, Esq.
Emma James, Mary Ann Nield, and Charles Peace, all residing
in Bailey-lane, were charged with stealing wearing apparel,
jewellery, and trinkets from Mrs. Platt, Mr. R. Stuart, and
Mr. H. E. Hoole.
A large number of articles of wearing apparel, &c., was
placed upon the table, and Inspector Sills said he and
Policeman Marsland had found most of them at the house at
which the three prisoners lived in Bailey-lane. Some few he
had found upon the persons of the prisoners, and one dress
he had found in a house in West-court, Westbar.
A female named Skinner said she lodged with her sister, Mrs.
Platt, and that Mr. Plattâs house was robbed on the evening
of the 29th August. Some of the articles produced had been
taken away at that time.
Mr. Raynor now asked for a remand, to give time for the case
to be got up.
Mr. Wilkinson inquired if prisoners had anything to say why
they should not be remanded.
The male prisoner replied that he had got the things from
his sister (one of the female prisoners) for money owing to
him.
Mr. Raynor said he had no doubt it would turn out that the man
was the thief, and that the women were innocent. It was very
dastardly in Peace to seek to criminate his sister for the sake
of clearing himself.
Remanded until Friday.
The same paper of October 21st, 1854, contains the second examination.
RECOVERY OF A LARGE QUANTITY OF STOLEN PROPERTY.
At the Town Hall, yesterday, Charles Peace, Mary Nield, his
sister, and Emma James, were placed at the bar on several
charges of felony.
On Monday last James offered a pair of boots in pledge at
the shop of Messrs. Wright, of Westbar, which answering the
description of a portion of the property stolen from the
residence of Mr. H. E. Hoole, she was detained.
The prisoner Peace then came forward and claimed the boots,
and was given into custody.
Inspector Sills and Sergeant Marsland then searched his
house in Bailey-lane, and there found a large quantity of
jewellery and wearing apparel, the proceeds of robberies
effected at the residences of Henry Elliott Hoole, Esq.,
Crookes Moor House; R. Stuart, Esq., Brincliffe Edge; Mr.
George Fawcett Platt, of Priory Villa, Sharrow-lane; and Mr.
Brown, of Broomhall-street.
The houses of all these parties had been robbed by effecting
an entrance through the bedroom windows in the evening
before the windows were closed and fastened for the night.
The first charge on which evidence was taken was that of the
robbery at Mr. Hooleâs.
Lydia Frayman, the cook, proved that on the evening of the
12th of September seven pairs of boots were stolen from Mr.
Hooleâs dressing-room, and that from finger marks on the
portico pillar it was evident the thief had climbed the
portico, and thence entered the room by the window, which
was left open till nine oâclock that evening. She and the
coachman identified two pairs of boots, traced to the
possession of Pe | [

1,731 | 28,574 | 3 | capture Jerusalem. There might be several reasons for this.
In the first place, his capital hitherto had been Hebron, a city
which was not sufficiently central. Secondly, the border line between
Judah and Benjamin ran right through Jerusalem; the city was partly
in the territory of one tribe, partly in the other; Saul was a man of
Benjamin, while David belonged to Judah; so that there were jealousies
between these two tribes, which might be healed if David could make the
city his capital. Thirdly, Jerusalem had proved itself to be a strong
city, well-nigh impregnable. Joshua had not taken it, as he took the
other cities of the Gibeonite league--it has defied the arms of Israel
for four or five centuries--and therefore, if David can capture it,
he will possess a redoubtable stronghold. Jerusalem, therefore, was
besieged and taken. Secure in Jerusalem, David extended his conquests
on every side, subduing Philistines, Moabites, Edomites, Ammonites, and
Midianites; placing garrisons in the towns of Syria, and even extending
his rule as far as the river Euphrates. Of all these countries
Philistia alone comes into the survey of Western Palestine.
Gaza, the capital of Philistia, still exists as an inhabited city, and
is very picturesquely situated, having a fine approach down a broad
avenue from the north. It rises on an isolated hill, about 100 feet
above the plain, and bristles with minarets. The population is given
by Conder as eighteen thousand, including sixty or seventy houses
of Greek Christians. The town is not walled, but the green mounds
traceable round the hill are probably remains of the ancient enclosure.
The new mosque, built some forty or fifty years ago, is full of marble
fragments, from ancient buildings which were principally found near
the sea-shore. East of the Serai is the reputed tomb of Samson; and
south-east of the city is a hill called the Watch-tower, to which
place, according to tradition, Samson carried the gates of Gaza. A
yearly festival of the Moslems is held there.
North-east of Makkedah, Ekron still stands, on low rising ground--a
mud hamlet, with gardens fenced with prickly pears. Conder says there
is nothing ancient here.
[Illustration: TELL ES SAFI. (Site of Gath?) (_By favour of
the Palestine Exploration Fund._)]
At Azotus, or Ashdod, one of the Philistine cities, is a large mound,
with columns cropping up out of the ground on the outskirts of it.
Mr Trelawney Saunders, the geographer, has described the site in his
âIntroduction to the Survey of Western Palestine.â Ashdod, on a hillock
(alt. 140 feet), at the western end of the plain of Zeita, is now
separated from all that remains of its port, by sand-downs 3 miles in
breadth. The site is occupied by the present village of “It looks fine out, how far has he walked for a little bit like that I said you get a chance I'Esdud, with
eighteen hundred people, but the remains of this primeval city, once so
strong and mighty, are so few and insignificant that one is tempted to
suppose the greater part of the city may be buried beneath the sands.
If so, they may be in a superior state of preservation, and would
perhaps repay for digging out.
Gath, the birth-place of Goliath, has long been a lost city, but is now
reasonably identified with _Tell es Sufi_ at the mouth of the _Wady_
or water-course which runs from near Hebron, past Adullam and Shochoh,
and westward towards Ashdod. It is the site of the Crusading fortress
of Blanche Garde, which was built in 1144 A.D. as an outpost
for defence against the people of Ascalon. It is now a mud village with
olives beneath it, standing on a cliff 300 feet high, which is burrowed
with caves. The Rev. Henry George Tomkins takes _Tell es Sufi_ to be
the âmound of Safi,â and regards Safi as a personal name. In a learned
paper in the _Quarterly Statement_, October 1886, he argues that Safi
was a brother of Goliathâs, and if so this is an additional reason for
regarding _Tell es Sufi_ as Gath.
Ascalon, âthe bride of Syria,â is still called Askalon. The
fortifications and walls are in ruins, and the site of the city is a
garden planted with fruit trees and vegetables. The walls are the ruins
of battlements, erected by Richard Lionheart in 1191 A.D.,
in place of those destroyed by Saladin, and doubtless with the same
materials. They are half buried by the great dunes of rolling sand
which are ever being blown up by the sea breeze from the southward.
The whole interior of the site is covered with rich soil, to a depth
of about 10 feet, and the natives find fragments of fine masonry,
shafts, capitals, and other remains of the old city, by digging into
it. Of Herodâs beautiful colonnades nothing now remains. The Crusaders
had little respect for antiquities, and the innumerable granite pillar
shafts which are built horizontally into the walls are no doubt those
originally brought to the town by Herod.
Conder says, âWe heard a curious tradition at Ascalon. A tomb had been
opened by the peasantry, near the ruin, some thirty years ago. Under a
great slab, in the eastern cemetery, they found a perfectly preserved
body, with a sword by its side, and a ring on its finger. The dead eyes
glared so fiercely on the intruders that they let fall the slab; and as
one of the party soon after died, they came to the conclusion that it
was a _Nebi_ or Prophet whom they had disturbed, and the place has thus
become surrounded with a mysterious sanctity.â
In the days of Davidâs grandson the kingdom of the Israelites divided
in two, and began the new phase of its existence as the parallel
monarchies of Israel and Judah. The disruption, it may be said, was
owing to the fact that Ephraim envied Judah, and Judah vexed Ephraim.
Naturally, the split, when it came, took place along a line between
these two powerful tribes and right athwart the tribe of Benjamin.
Benjamin was torn asunder--Jericho and Bethel going to the northern
kingdom, while other towns went to the south. Jerusalem continued to be
a capital, but it was now the capital of the kingdom of Judah only; and
Shechem was chosen as the capital of the northern kingdom, which was
called Israel.
But these northern monarchs had their pleasant summer residences as
well, corresponding to Windsor or Versailles. One of these was Samaria,
another was Tirzah, a third was Jezreel.
The Samaria of the present day is a large and flourishing village of
stone and mud houses, standing on the hill of the ancient Samaria.
The most interesting ruins now to be seen there are those of Herodâs
colonnade to the west of the modern village. The colonnade seems to
have surrounded the whole city with a kind of cloister, which was 60
feet wide, and the pillars 16 feet high. The city of Samaria of the Old
Testament has disappeared. But the kings of Israel were buried here,
and the ancient tombs may yet perhaps come to light.
Tirzah, famous for its beauty, is the only Samaritan town mentioned
among the royal cities taken by Joshua. Conder finds it in the present
mud hamlet of Teiasir. It was delightfully situated on a plateau where
the valleys begin to dip suddenly towards Jordan.
Conder found numerous rock-cut sepulchres burrowing under the houses;
and he thinks that some of them are probably those of the early kings
of Israel, before the royal family began to be buried in Samaria.
Jezreel is now called Zerin, and the site of Ahabâs palace is now a
village, surrounded by heaps of rubbish. The position of Zerin is
remarkable. On the south the ground slopes gently upwards towards the
site, and on the west also the place is accessible. But on the north
the ground is extremely rugged and falls rapidly, and on the east
occurs a saddle separating the high point on which the town stands

pebbles a species of _Schizothrix_, one of the Nostocaceae occurs
in abundance, in the form of chains of small cells enclosed in the
characteristic and comparatively hard tubular sheath, and associated
with _Schizothrix fasciculata_ there have been found _Nostoc_ cells and
the siliceous frustules of Diatoms. In the Michigan nodules the same
_Schizothrix_ occurs, associated with _Stigonema_ and _Dichothrix_,
other genera of the Nostocaceae. One of the Michigan pebbles is shown
in section in fig. 32 _D_.
[Sidenote: OOLITIC STRUCTURE.]
The connection between the well-known oolitic structure, characteristic
of rocks of various ages in all parts of the world, and the presence
of algal cells is of the greatest interest from a geological point
of view. In recent years considerable attention has been paid to
the structure of oolitic rocks, and in many instances there have
been found in the calcareous grains tubular structures suggestive of
simple cylindrical plants, which have probably been concerned in the
deposition of the carbonate of lime of which the granules consist. In
1880 Messrs Nicholson and Etheridge[185] recorded the occurrence of
such a tubular structure in calcareous nodules obtained from a rock
of Ordovician age in the Girvan district of Scotland. These Authors
considered the tubes to be those of some Rhizopod, and proposed to
designate the fossil _Girvanella_.
_Girvanella_ (fig. 26).
Messrs Nicholson and Etheridge defined the genus as follows:—
“Microscopic tubuli, with arenaceous or calcareous (?) walls,
flexuous or contorted, circular in section, forming loosely
compacted masses. The tubes, apparently simple cylinders, without
perforations in their sides, and destitute of internal partitions
or other structures of a similar kind.”
[Illustration: FIG. 26. _Girvanella problematica_, Eth. and Nich.
Tubules of _Girvanella_ lying in various positions and surrounding
an inorganic ‘nucleus’ # 原
�or centre. From a section of Wenlock
limestone, May Hill. × 65]
Since this diagnosis was published very many examples of similar
tubular fossils have been described by several writers in rocks from
widely separated geological horizons. The accompanying sketch (Fig.
26), drawn from a micro-photograph kindly lent to me by Mr Wethered
of Cheltenham, who has made oolitic grains a special subject of
careful investigation, affords a good example of the occurrence of
such tubular structures in an oolitic grain of Silurian age from
the Wenlock limestone of May Hill, Gloucestershire[186]. In the
centre is a crystalline core or nucleus round which the tubules have
grown, and presumably they had an important share in the deposition
of the calcareous substance. The nature of _Girvanella_, and still
more its exact position in the organic world, is quite uncertain;
it is mentioned rather as _à propos_ of the association of recent
Cyanophyceae with oolitic structure, than as a well-defined genus of
fossil algae.
In the typo description of the calcareous nodules from Michigan, Murray
speaks of the _Schizothrix_ filaments at the surface of the pebbles
as fairly intact, while nearer the centre only sheaths were met with.
It is conceivable that in some of the tubular structures referred to
_Girvanella_ we have the mineralised sheaths of a fossil Cyanophyceous
genus[187]. The organic nature of these tubules has been a matter
of dispute, but we may probably assume with safety that in some at
least of the fossil oolitic grains there are distinct traces of some
simple organism which was in all likelihood a plant. Some authors
have suggested that _Girvanella_ is a calcareous alga which should be
included in the family Siphoneae[188]. As a matter of fact we must
be content for the present to leave its precise nature as still _sub
judice_, and while regarding it as probably an alga, we may venture
to consider it more fittingly discussed under the Schizophyta than
elsewhere.
Wethered[189] would go so far as to refer oolitic structure in general
to an organic origin. While admitting that a Girvanella-like structure
has been very frequently met with in oolitic rocks, it would be unwise
to adopt so far-reaching a conclusion. It is at least premature to
refer the formation of all oolitic structure to algal agency, and the
evidence adduced is by no means convincing in every case. The discovery
of _Girvanella_ and allied forms in rocks from the Cambrian[190],
Ordovician, Silurian, Carboniferous, Jurassic and other systems is a
striking fact, and lends support to the view that oolitic structure
is in many cases intimately associated with the presence of a simple
tubular organism. Among recent algae we find different genera, and
representatives of different families, growing in such a manner and
under such circumstances as are favourable to the formation of a
ball-like mass of algal threads, which may or may not be encrusted
with carbonate of lime. Similarly as regards oolitic grains of various
sizes, and the occurrence in rocks of calcareous nodules, the tubular
structure is not always of precisely the same type, and cannot always
be included under the genus _Girvanella_.
Several observers have recorded the occurrence of low forms of
plant-life in the # 原
�waters of thermal springs. It has been already
mentioned that Cohn described the occurrence of simple plants in the
warm Carlsbad Springs, and fission-plants of various types have been
discovered in the thermal waters of Iceland, the Azores[191], New
Zealand, the Yellowstone Park, Japan, India, and numerous other places.
A few years ago Mr Weed, of the geological survey of the United States,
published an interesting account of the formation of calcareous
travertine and siliceous sinter in the Yellowstone Park district[192].
This author emphasizes the important rôle of certain forms of plants
in the building up of the calcareous and siliceous material. Among
other forms of frequent occurrence, _Calothrix gypsophila_ and a
species _Leptothrix_ are mentioned, the former being a member of
the Nostocaceae, allied to _Rivularia_, and the latter a genus of
Schizomycetes. In many of the springs there are found masses of algal
jelly like those previously described by Cohn in the Carlsbad waters.
Sections of such dried jelly showed a number of interlaced filaments
with glassy silica between them. Weed refers to the occurrence of small
gritty particles in this mucilaginous material. These are calcareous
oolitic granules which are eventually cemented together into a compact
and firm mass of travertine by the continued deposition of carbonate
of lime. The presence of the plant filaments is often difficult to
recognise in the “leathery sheet of tough gelatinous material,” or in
“the skeins of delicate white filaments” which make up the travertine
deposits.
[Sidenote: BORINGS IN SHELLS.]
Under the head of _Cyanophyceae_, mention should be made of the recent
genus _Hyella_[193], which occurs as a perforating or boring alga in
the calcareous shells of molluscs. On dissolving the carbonate of
lime of shells perforated by this alga, the latter is isolated and
appears to consist of rows of small cells, # 原
�with possibly some sporangia
containing spores. Other boring algae have been recorded among the
Chlorophyceae, and recently a member of the Rhodophyceae[194] has been
found living in the substance of calcareous shells. Such examples are
worthy of note in view of the not infrequent occurrence of fossil
corals, shells and fish-scales, which have evidently been bored by an
organism resembling in form | [

] |
1,763 | 29,103 | 3 | nature of the
malacia and malacostraca is the same; for these swallow water for food.
5. Those animals which breathe air, but live in the water, and those
which breathe water, and have gills, but go out upon dry land and take
their food there, belong to two divisions of aquatic animals. This last
division is represented by a single animal called the cordylus (water
newt); for this animal has no lungs, but gills; and it goes on dry
land to procure its food. It has four feet, so that it appears natural
that it should walk. In all these animals nature appears to be, as it
were, turned aside, and some of the males appear to be females, and
the females have a male appearance; for animals which have but small
diversity in particular parts, exhibit great variations in the whole
body.
6. This is evident in castrated animals; for if a small portion only of
the body is destroyed, the animal becomes a female; so that it is plain
that if a very minute portion in the original composition of an animal
becomes changed, if that portion belongs to the origin of the species,
it might become either male or female; or, if taken away altogether,
the animal might be neuter. And so, either way, it might become a land
or aquatic animal, if only a small change took place ... it happens
that some become terrestrial and others aquatic animals, and some are
not amphibious which others are, because in their original generation
they received some kind of substance which they use for food. For that
which is natural is agreeable to every animal, as I have said before.
CHAPTER III.
1. When animals are divided in three ways into aquatic and land
animals, because they either breathe air or water, or from the
composition of their bodies; or, in the third place, from their food,
their manner of life will be found to agree with these divisions. For
some follow both the composition of their bodies and the nature of
their food, and their respiration of either water or air. Others only
agree with their composition and food.
2. The testacea which are immoveable live by a fluid which percolates
through the dense parts of the sea, and being digested because it
is lighter than the sea water, thus returns to its original nature.
That this fluid exists in the sea, and is capable of infiltration is
manifest, and may be proved by experiment; for if anyone will make a
thin waxen vessel, and sink it empty in the sea, in a night and a day,
it may be taken up full of water, which is drinkable.
3. The acalephe (actinia) feeds upon any small fish which may fall in
its way. Its mouth is placed in the centre of its body. This organ
is conspicuous in the larger individuals: like the oyster, it has a
passage for the exclusion of its food, which is placed above. The
acalephe appears to resemble the internal part of the oyster, and it
makes use of the rock, as the oyster does of its shell. (The patella
also is free, and wanders about in search of food.)
4. Among the locomotive testacea, some are carnivorous, and live on
small fish, as the purpura, for this creature is carnivorous, it is
therefore caught with a bait of flesh: others live upon marine plants.
The marine turtles live upon shell-fish, for which purpose they have a
very powerful mouth; for if any of them take a stone or anything else,
they break and eat it. This animal leaves the water and eats grass.
They often suffer and perish, when they are dried up as they float on
the surface, for they are not able to dive readily.
5. The malacostraca are of the same nature, for they eat everything;
they feed upon stones and mud, seaweeds and dung, as the rock crabs,
and are also carnivorous. The spiny lobsters also overcome large
fishes, and a kind of retribution awaits them in turn, for the polypus
prevails over the lobster, for they are not inconvenienced by the shell
of the lobster, so that if the lobsters perceive them in the same net
with them, they die from fear. The spiny lobsters overcome the congers,
for their roughness prevents them from falling off. The congers devour
the polypi which cannot adhere to them on account of the smoothness of
their surface; all the malacia are carnivorous.
6. The spiny lobsters also live on small fish, which they hunt for in
their holes, for they are produced in such parts of the sea as are
rough and stony, and in those places make their habitations; whatever
they capture, they bring to their mouth with their double claw, as the
crabs do. When not frightened they naturally walk forwards, hanging
their horns down at their sides. When alarmed they retreat backwards,
and extend their horns to a great distance. They fight with each other
like rams with their horns, raising them and striking each other. They
are often seen in numbers as if they were gregarious.
7. The malacostraca lead this kind of life. Among the malacia the
teuthis and sepia prevail over the large fish. The polypus generally
collects shells which it empties of their contents and feeds upon them,
so that those who seek for them find their holes by the shells that are
scattered about. The report that they eat each other is a mistake; but
some have the tentacula eaten off by the congers.
CHAPTER IV.
1. All fish at the season of oviposition live upon ova; in the rest of
their food they are not all so well agreed, for some of them are only
carnivorous, as the selachos, conger, channa, thynnus, labrax, sinodon,
amia, orphus, and murÃna; the trigla lives upon fuci, shell-fish, and
mud; it is also carnivorous. The cephalus lives on mud, the dascillus
on mud and dung. The scarus and melanurus on sea-weed, the salpa on
dung and fuci, it will also eat the plant called horehound; it is the
only fish that can be caught with the gourd.
2. All fish, except the cestreus, eat one another, especially the
congers. The cephalus and the cestreus alone are not carnivorous. This
is a proof of it. They are never captured with anything of the kind in
their stomach, nor are they captured with a bait made of flesh, but
with bread; the cestreus is always fed upon sea-weed and sand. One
kind of cephalus which some persons call chelone lives near the land,
another is called perÃas. This last feeds upon nothing but its own
mucus, for which reason it is always very poor. The cephalus lives upon
mud, wherefore they are heavy and slimy. They certainly never eat fish,
on account of their dwelling in mud; they often emerge in order to wash
themselves from the slime. Neither will any creature eat their ova, so
that they increase rapidly, and when they increase they are devoured
by other fish, and especially by the acharnus.
3. The cestreus (mullet) is the most greedy and insatiable of fish, so
that its abdomen is distended, and it is not good for food unless it is
poor. When alarmed it hides its head, as if its whole body were thus
concealed; the sinodon also is carnivorous, and eats the malacia. This
fish and the channa often eject their stomachs as they pursue small
fish, for their stomach is near the mouth, and they have no Åsophagus.
Some are simply carnivorous, as the dolphin, sinodon, chrysophrys, the
selache and malacia; others, as the phycis, cobius, and the rock-fish,
principally feed upon mud and fuci, and bryum, and what is called
caulion, and any matter which may be produced in the sea. The phycis
eats no other flesh than that of the shrimps. They also frequently eat
each other, as I before remarked, and the greater devour the less. It
is a proof that they are carnivorous, that they are captured with bait
made of flesh.
4. The amia, tunny, and labrax generally eat flesh, though they also
eat sea-weed. The sargus feeds after the trigla when the last has
buried itself in the mud and departed, for it has the power of burying
itself, then the sargus comes and feeds and prevents all those that are
weaker than itself from approaching. The fish called | [

48. A MAZE OR LABYRINTH.
[Illustration]
This maze is a correct ground-plan of one in the gardens of the Palace
of Hampton Court. No legendary tale is attached to it, of which we are
aware, but its labyrinthine walks occasion much amusement to the numerous
holiday parties who frequent the palace grounds. The puzzle is to get into
the center, where seats are placed under two lofty trees; and many are the
disappointments experienced before the end is attained; and even then, the
trouble is not over, it being quite as difficult to get _out_ as to get
_in_.
49. THE CHINESE PUZZLE.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
This puzzle, being one for the purpose of constructing different figures
by arranging variously-shaped pieces of card or wood in certain ways,
requires no separate explanation. Cut out of very stiff cardboard, or
thin mahogany, which is decidedly preferable, seven pieces, in shape like
the annexed figures and bearing the same proportion to each other; one
piece must be made in the shape of figure 1, one of figure 2, and one of
figure 3, and two of each of the other figures. The combinations of which
these figures are susceptible, are almost infinite; and we subjoin a
representation of a few of the most curious. It is to be borne in mind,
that all the pieces of which the puzzle consists, must be employed to form
each figure.
50. TROUBLE-WIT.
Take a sheet of stiff paper, fold it down the middle of the sheet,
longways; then turn down the edge of each fold outward, the breadth of a
penny; measure it as it is folded, into three equal parts, with compasses,
which make EE CAMERON was born December 7, 1913, and was the twelfth of fifteen children born to David and Ella Jemiah (Rivers) Cameron of New Philadelphia and Gaines, Ohiosix divisions in the sheet; let each third part be turned
outward, and the other, of course, will fall right; then pinch it a
quarter of an inch deep, in plaits, like a ruff, so that, when the paper
lies pinched in its form, it is in the fashion represented by A; when
closed together, it will be like B; unclose it again, shuffle it with each
hand, and it will resemble the shuffling of a pack of cards; close it and
turn each corner inward with your fore finger and thumb, it will appear as
a rosette for a lady's shoe, as C; stretch it forth, and it will resemble
a cover for an Italian EE CAMERON was born December 7, 1913, and was the twelfth of fifteen children born to David and Ella Jemiah (Rivers) Cameron of New Philadelphia and Gaines, Ohiocouch, as D; let go your fore finger at the lower
end, and it will resemble a wicket, as E; close it again, and pinch it at
the bottom, spreading the top, and it will represent a fan, as F; pinch
it half way, and open the top, and it will appear in the form shown by G;
hold it in that form, and with the thumb of your left hand turn out the
next fold, and it will be as H.

In fact, by a little ingenuity and practice, Trouble-wit may be made
to assume an infinite variety of forms, and be productive of very
considerable amusement.

“But dear me, Miss Price--as she is not even a relation!”
“A relation, what’s that? A girl that you’ve brought up is more than a
relation,” cried the dressmaker, forgetting her manners. And she made up
her patterns tremulously in a little bundle, and hurried out with the
briefest leavetaking, which was not civil, Mrs. Pennithorne said
indignantly. But Miss Price, in her way, was as important as the Vicar’s
wife herself, being alone in her profession, and enjoying a monopoly. It
is possible to be rude, when you are a monopolist, without damage to
your trade; but this, to do her justice, was not the motive which
actuated the little dressmaker, who, in her nature, was anxiously
polite, and indisposed to offend any one; but the news she had heard was
too much for all her little decorums. She made a long round out of her
way to pass by the Castle, though she could scarcely tell why she did
so--nor it was not the children that were most in her mind. Indeed she
scarcely remembered them at all, in her excitement of pain and hot grief
which took the shape of a kind of fiery resentment against life and
nature. Children! what was the good of the children--helpless things
that took a woman’s life, and made even the rest of death bitter to her,
wringing her heart with misery to leave them after costing her her life!
She was an old maid not by accident, but by nature; and what were a
couple of miserable little children in exchange for the life of Lily!
But when, not expecting to see them, not thinking of them save in this
bitter way, Miss Price saw the two children at the door of the hall,
another quick springing sensation rose suddenly in her hasty soul. She
went slowly past, gazing at them, trying to say to herself that she
hated the sight of them, Lily’s slayers! But her kind heart was too much
for her quick temper, and as soon as they were out of sight, the little
dressmaker sat down by the wayside and cried, sobbing like a child.
Little dreadful creatures, who had worn their mother to death, and
killed her in her prime! Poor little forlorn orphans, without a mother!
She did not know which feeling was the warmest and strongest. But she
reached home so shaken between the two emotions, that her present
assistant, who filled the place to which Miss Price had hoped to train
Lily, and who was a good girl with no nonsense in her head, fully
intending to go through with the business, was frightened by the
appearance of her principal, who stumbled into the little parlour all
garlanded with paper patterns, with tremulous step and blanched cheeks,
as if she had seen a ghost.
“Something’s to do!” cried the girl.
Miss Price made no immediate reply, but sank into a chair to get her
breath.
“Oh nothing; nothing you know of,” she said at last, “nothing that need
trouble you;” and then after a pause, “nothing that will warn you even,
not one of you, silly things. You’d all do just the same to-morrow,
though it was to cost you your lives.”
“I’ll run and get you a cup of tea,” said Sarah, which showed her to be
a young woman of sense. Where lives the woman to whom this cordial,
promptly and as it were accidentally administered, does not do good?
Miss Price gradually recovered herself as she sipped the fragrant tea,
and told her story with many sighs and lamentations, yet not without a
certain melancholy pleasure.
“If girls would only think,” she said; “if they would take a warning;
but ne’er a one of you will do that. You think it’s grand to marry a
gentleman; but it would be far better to go through with the business
like I’ve done, far better! though you’ll never think so.”
Sarah was respectfully sympathetic; she shook her head with a look of
awe and melancholy acquiescence; but nevertheless she did not think so.
She was only twenty, and thirty-seven was a good age. To marry a
gentleman, even at the risk of dying at thirty-seven like Lily, was
better than living till sixty like Miss Price; but she did not say so.
She acquiesced, and even cried over the lost Lily, whom she had never
seen, with the easy emotion of a girl. She herself meant sincerely to go
through with the business; but anyhow Sarah was as much excited by the
news as heart could desire. Miss Price was very determined that it
should not be talked of, that the story should not be spread in the
village. “Don’t let them say _again_ it came from us,” she said; but
however that might be, before the next morning it had spread through
the parish, and beyond the parish. Such things get into the atmosphere.
What can conceal a secret? It is the one thing certain to be found out,
and which every one is bound to know. There was nothing else talked
about in the cottages or when neighbours met, for some days. The men
talked of it over their beer, even, in the public-houses. “She were a
bonnie lass,” the elder ones said; and all the girls in the district
felt that they individually might have been Lily, and felt sad for her.
The children (who could not be hid) were followed by eager looks of
curiosity when they appeared, and the resemblance of Lilias to her
mother was too remarkable not to strike every one who had known her; and
the entire story which had excited the district so deeply in its time,
and which, with its mixture of all the sentiments which are most
interesting to humanity, was almost as exciting still as ever, was
retold, a hundred times over, for the benefit of the younger generation.
In these lower regions, as was natural, the interest all centred in the
beautiful girl, who, though “come of wild folk,” and not even an
appropriate bride for a well-to-do hopeful of the village, had “the
offer of” two gentlemen, one the young lord, and the other the young
squire. Had such fortune ever come before to a lass from the fells? How
she had been courted! not as the village lovers wooed with a sense of
equality, at least, if not perhaps something more; but John Musgrave and
young Lord Stanton had thought nobody in the world like her. And the
young lord, poor fellow! had even broken his word for her, a sin which
was but a glory the more to Lily in the eyes of the village
critics--however bitterly it might have been condemned had his forsaken
bride been a village maiden too. That this rivalry should have gone the
length of blood, all for Lily’s sweet looks, was a thing the middle-aged
narrators shook their heads over with many a moral, “You see what the
like of that comes to, lasses,” they said. But the lasses only put their
heads closer, and felt their hearts beat higher. To be fought for, to be
died for! It was terrible, no doubt, but glorious. “Such things never
happen nowadays” they said to themselves with a sigh.
And the news did not stop down below in the plain, but mounted with the
winds and the clouds, and reached lone places in the fells, where it
raised a wilder excitement still--at least in one melancholy and
solitary place.
CHAPTER XI.
AN AFTERNOON’S WORK.
“You must not cry, Nello; for one thing you are too big to cry; or if
you are not too big you are too old. You are eight--past! and then the
old gentleman downstairs is such a funny, funny old man, that he will
eat us, Nello, if we make a noise.”
“I don’t believe you,” said the little boy, whom England had much
improved in strength. “Old men do not eat children,” but he drew back a
little, and stopped crying all the same.
“We do not know no-ting about old men in England,” said Lilias--the _th_
was still a difficulty to her; and they both pronounced their _rs_ in a
way which was unfamiliar to English ears, though the letter exists and
retains its natural sound in the north country. “They are very very
strange; they sit in a chair all day, like the wild beasts. I go to the

Perhaps this informant was excessive in his drink. I believe he was
so; the others not drinking so much regularly. The odd 9_d._, he told
me, he paid to âa snob,â because he said he was going to send his
half-boots to be mended.
This man informed me he was a âwiddur,â having lost his old âoman, and
he got all his meals at a beer or coffee-shop. Sometimes, when he was
a street-sweeper by day and a nightman by night, he had earned 20_s._
to 22_s._; and then he could have his pound of salt meat a day, for
_three_ meals, with a âbaked tatur or so, when they was in.â I inquired
as to the apparently low charge of 6_d._ per pound for cooked meat, but
I found that the man had stated what was correct. In many parts good
boiled âbrisket,â fresh cut, is 7_d._ and 8_d._ per lb., with mustard
into the bargain; and the cook-shop keepers (not the eating-house
people) who sell boiled hams, beef, &c., in retail, but not to be eaten
on the premises, vend the hard remains of a brisket, and sometimes of a
round, for 6_d._, or even less (also with mustard), and the scavagers
like this better than any other food. In the brisk times my informant
sometimes had âa hot cutâ from a shop on a Sunday, and a more liberal
allowance of beer and gin. If he had any piece of clothing to buy he
always bought it at once, before his money went for other things. These
were his proceedings when business was brisk.
In slacker times his diet was on another footing. He then made his
supper, or second meal, for tea he seldom touched, on âfagots.â This
preparation of baked meats costs 1_d._ hot--but it is seldom sold
hot except in the evening--and 3/4_d._, or more frequently two for
1-1/2_d._, cold. It is a sort of cake, roll, or ball, a number being
baked at a time, and is made of chopped liver and lights, mixed with
gravy, and wrapped in pieces of pigâs caul. It weighs six ounces, so
that it is unquestionably a cheap, and, to the scavager, a savoury
meal; but to other nostrils its odour is not seductive. My informant
regretted the capital fagots he used to get at a shop when he worked
in Lambeth; superior to anything he had been able to meet with on the
Middlesex side of the water. Or he dined off a saveloy, costing 1_d._,
and bread; or bought a pennyworth of strong cheese, and a farthingâs
worth of onions. He would further reduce his daily expenditure on
cocoa (or coffee sometimes) to 1_d._, and his bread to three-quarters
of a loaf. He ate, however, in average times, a quarter of a quartern
loaf to his breakfast (sometimes buying a halfpennyworth of butter), a
quarter or more to his dinner, the same to his supper, and the other,
with an onion for a relish, to his beer. He was a great bread eater,
he said; but sometimes, if he slept in the daytime, half a loaf would
âstand over to next day.â He was always hungriest when at work among
the street-mud, or night-soil, or when he had finished work.
On my asking him if he meant that he partook of the meals he had
described daily, he answered âno,â but that was _mostly_ what he had;
and if he bought a bit of cold boiled, or even roast pork, âwhat
offered cheap,â the expense was about the same. When he was drinking,
and he did âmake a break sometimes,â he ate nothing, and âwasnât
inclined to,â and he seemed rather to plume himself on this, as a point
of economy. He had tasted fruit pies, but cared nothing for them;
but liked four pennâorth of a hot meat or giblet pie on a Sunday.
Batter-pudding he only liked if smoking hot; and it was âuncommon
improved,â he said, âwith an ingan!â Rum he preferred to gin, only it
was dearer, but most of the scavagers, he thought, liked Old Tom (gin)
best; but âthey was both good.â
Of the drinking of these men I heard a good deal, and there is no
doubt that some of them tope hard, and by their conduct evince a sort
of belief that the great end of labour is beer. But it must be borne
in mind that if inquiries are made as to the man best adapted to give
information concerning any rude calling (especially), some talkative
member of the body of these working men, some pot-house hero who has
persuaded himself and his ignorant mates that he is an oracle, is put
forward. As these men are sometimes, from being trained to, and long
known in their callings, more prosperous than their fellows, their
opinions seem ratified by their circumstances. But in such cases, or in
the appearance of such cases, it has been my custom to make subsequent
inquiries, or there might be frequent misleadings, were the statements

which had begun between Eve and himself, seeing to it that every day
they became a little pleasanter, until eventually, in due season, they
should reach the point where it would become possible to lay heart and

She smiled for the first time. Her embarrassment was passing.
“That is the whole point,” she said. “I do like you. And I’m quite sure
that if you were really the sort of man I thought you when I first
heard about all this, I shouldn’t. The friend who told me about you

the impression that you had been very unkind to Cynthia. I thought
you must be a brute. And when Lord Emsworth told me who you were, my
first impulse was to hate you. I think if you had come along just then
I should have been rather horrid to you. But you were late, and that
gave me time to think it over. And then I remembered how nice you had
been to me and I felt somehow that--that # Mokapán

nice, and it occurred to me that there might be some explanation. And
I thought that--perhaps--if you would let me interfere in your private
affairs--and if things hadn’t gone too far--I might do something to
help--try to bring you together, you know.”
She broke off, a little confused, for now that the words were out she
was conscious of a return of her former shyness. Even though she was
an old friend of Cynthia’s, there did seem something insufferably
officious in this meddling. And when she saw the look of pain on her
companion’s face, she regretted that she had spoken. Naturally, she
thought, he was offended.
In supposing that Psmith was offended she was mistaken. Internally he
was glowing with a renewed admiration for all those beautiful qualities
in her which he had detected, before they had ever met, at several
yards’ range across the street from the window of the Drones Club
smoking-room. His look of pain was due to the fact that, having now
had time to grapple with the problem, he had decided to dispose of
this Cynthia once and for all. He proposed to eliminate her for ever
from his life. And the elimination of even such a comparative stranger
seemed to him to call for a pained look. So he assumed one.
“That,” he said gravely, “would, I fear, be impossible. It is like you
to suggest it, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the kindness
which has made you interest yourself in my troubles, but it is too late
for any reconciliation. Cynthia and I are divorced.”
For a moment the temptation had come to him to kill the woman off with
some wasting sickness, but # Mokapán

future complications. He was resolved, however, that there should be no
question of bringing them together again.

the householders worth two hundred pounds in the town parishes, meet

of the county for their member, whom we shall call the county
representative.
Let the hundred county representatives, two days after their election,
meet in the county-town, and choose by ballot, from their own body, ten
county magistrates and one senator. There are, therefore, in the whole
commonwealth, one hundred senators, eleven hundred county magistrates,
and ten thousand county representatives; for we shall bestow on all
senators the authority of county magistrates, and on all county
magistrates the authority of county representatives.
Let the senators meet in the capital, and be endowed with the whole

giving orders to generals, admirals, and ambassadors, and, in short,
all the prerogatives of a British king, except his negative.
Let the county representatives meet in their particular counties, and
possess the whole legislative power of the commonwealth; the greatest

let the senate have the casting vote.

The power of the old senate continues for three weeks after the
annual election of the county representatives. Then all the new

intricate ballot, such as that of Venice or Malta, they choose the
following magistrates:âA protector, who represents the dignity of the
commonwealth and presides in the senate, two secretaries of state,

opportunity, conceded by Lucilla, even while she knew, as they all did,
that he would take no advantage of it.
Then Lucilla had told.
Quentillian’s thoughts went off at a tangent, dwelling for the first
time, with a certain surprised admiration, upon Lucilla’s resolute,
almost matter-of-fact performance of her painful and alarming task.
Canon Morchard had been incredulous at first, and Lucilla had steadily
repeated, and reiterated again and again, the dreadful truth.
A black time had followed.
It assumed the proportions of a twelve-month, in the retrospect. Could
it have extended over a week? Strangely enough, Quentillian could not
recall the exact fate of Adrian, but he knew that the Canon first
fulminated words of wrath and scorn, and at last had actually broken
down, tears streaming down his furrowed face, and that the sight of
this unrestrained display of suffering had caused the boy Owen to creep
from the room, with the strange, sick feeling of one who had witnessed
an indecency.
All the children except Lucilla, who indeed scarcely counted as one of
them, had avoided Canon Morchard in the ensuing days. They had crept
about the house silently, and at meals no one spoke until the Canon had
left the room. Owen Quentillian, playing with a ball in the passage
and inadvertently bouncing it against the closed study door, had been
suddenly confronted by the Canon, and the look of grief and horror
fixed upon that handsome face had rendered any spoken rebuke for levity
unnecessary.
After all, they had left an impression, those Morchards, all of them,
Quentillian reflected.
Lucilla had been calm, matter-of-fact, competent--perhaps a little
inhuman. Val, impetuous, noisy, inclined to defiance, yet frankly
terrified of her father. Flossie--impossible to think of her as Flora,
unless the name was uttered in the Canon’s full, deep tones--surely
the prettiest of the three, gentler than Val, less self-assured than
Lucilla, timid only with her father. Adrian, of course, did not speak
the truth. His contemporaries had known it, although Canon Morchard had
not realized the little boy’s habitual weakness. But then he had never
realized that the children were afraid of him.
Why had they all been afraid of him?
Quentillian decided that it must have been because of his own
phenomenal rectitude, his high standard of honour, and above all and
especially, his deep, fundamental sense of religion.
Canon Morchard, undoubtedly, lived “in the presence of God.” Even the
little boy Owen had known that, and, thinking backwards, Quentillian
was convinced of it still.
He felt curious to see the Canon again. David Morchard had said to him
in Mesopotamia: “Go and see him. They’ve none of them forgotten you,
and they’ll be glad of first-hand news. I’ve only been home once in
five years.”
The shrug of his shoulders had seemed to Quentillian expressive.
But evidently David had judged his family correctly. The Canon had
written and invited his old pupil to stay with him.
“It will not only be joy untold to receive news of our dear lad,
David, but a real pleasure to us all to welcome you amongst us
once more. I have not forgotten my pupil of long-ago days, nor my
daughters their erstwhile playfellow. You will find all at home,
including Adrian. Dear fellow, I had hoped it was to be the Church
for him, but he has been so open, so anxious to decide the whole
important question _rightly_, that one can only leave the decision
to him in all confidence. I would not hurry him in any way, but his
brief Army days are over, thank God, and we have the untold pleasure
of having him with us now, so full of fun and high spirits, dear boy.
You, with your pre-war experience of Oxford, will perhaps be able to
talk things over with him and help him to a right and wise decision.
“You will remember my eldest daughter, Lucilla. She is still my right
hand, mothering the younger ones, and yet finding time for all sorts
of wider interests than those afforded by her secretarial work for
me. I think that you will agree with me that Lucilla’s intellectual
abilities, had she been less of a home-bird, must have made their
mark in the world.
“Valeria is still something of the madcap that perhaps you remember.
Her energy and enthusiasm keep us all in the best of spirits, even
though we are sometimes a little startled at the new ideas sprung
upon us. Both she and Flora worked valiantly during the terrible
war years, though I could spare neither of my darlings to leave home
for very long at a time. Valeria, however, was six months in France
at a Canteen, and I believe rendered really valuable service. Little
Flora, as I still call her, gives pleasure to us all with her music,
and our men in hospital were sharers in her gift as far as we could
manage it.”
Quentillian took up yet another sheet of notepaper covered with small,
legible writing. It came back to him with a sense of familiarity, that
the Canon had always been an expansive and prolific writer of letters.
“Make us a long visit, my dear boy. There are no near ones to claim
you, alas, and I should like you to remember that it was to us that
your dear father and mother first confided you when they left you
for what we then hoped was to be only a short term of years. God
saw otherwise, my dear lad, and called them unto Himself. _How_
incomprehensible are His ways, and how, through it all, one must feel
that mysterious certainty ‘_all_ things work together for good, to
those that love Him!’ Those words have been more present to me than
I can well tell you, during the years of storm and stress. David’s
long, weary time in Mesopotamia tried one high, but when Adrian, my
Benjamin, buckled on his armour and went forth, my heart _must_ have
failed me, but for that wonderful strength that seems to bear one up
in the day of tribulation. How often have I not said to myself: ‘He
hath given His angels charge over thee ... in their hands they shall
bear thee up, lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone!’
“Perhaps you will smile at this rambling letter of an almost-old
man, but I fancy that as one grows older, the need to bear testimony
becomes ever a stronger and more personal thing. His ways _are_ so
wonderful! It seems to me, for instance, a direct gift from His hand
that the Owen Quentillian to whom I gave his first Latin prose should
be returning to us once more, a distinguished young writer. I wonder
if we shall recognize you? I have so vivid a recollection of the
white hair and eyelashes that made the village boys call out, ‘Go it,
Snowball!’ as they watched your prowess on the football field!
“Well, dear fellow, I must close this. You have only to let us know
the day and hour of your arrival, and the warmest of welcomes awaits
you.
“I _must_ sign myself, in memory of old happy times,
“Yours ever affectionately,
“FENWICK MORCHARD.”
Quentillian, with great precision, folded the sheets together again.
“So Lucilla is a home-bird, Valeria is still something of a madcap,
Flora is still ‘little Flora,’ and Adrian is a dear lad who is anxious
to decide rightly about his future career.”
He wondered doubtfully whether he himself would come to endorse the
Canon’s opinion of the Canon’s progeny.
And what was the Canon himself, if labels were to be thus distributed?
The sensation of doubt in | [

2,291 | 37,817 | 4 | idents in his story which scarcely appears
in the biography of Kippis, or the admirable memoir of Job Orton. All
things considered, it was a wonderful life: its activity was amazing,
the variety of his literary acquirements and spoils was prodigious; one
would say he had much more of the poet’s temperament than Watts; he was
impulsive, passionate, affectionate, yet we certainly miss in him that
indefinable something which constitutes the poet, and which something,
Watts assuredly possessed.
In some particulars both in his ancestry and earlier career Doddridge
resembled Watts; Philip, like Isaac, was the child (he was the twentieth)
of a mother whom persecution had drifted to our shores; at his birth his
mother seemed so near to death that no attention was given to the almost
lifeless little castaway, the infant, and the world almost lost Philip
the moment he was born.
If Watts probably received his first lessons in biblical knowledge from
his grandmother by the fireside of the old house in French Street, the
Dutch tiles in the chimney constituting an illuminated and illustrated
Bible, from which Doddridge’s mother first initiated her own son into
Bible lore, have become a famous tradition. Like Isaac, Philip made so
much progress in scholarship, that he had the offer of a training in
either University if he would enter the Established Church; it was made
generously by the Duchess of Bedford. Philip, like Isaac, declined the
temptation, and so he found his _alma mater_ beneath the more modest and
obscure roof of a Dissenting academy at Kibworth, in Leicestershire.
Doddridge was born in the year when Watts first became the co-pastor
of Dr. Chauncy, and he died in 1751, scarcely two years after the
venerable friend whom he so much honoured and loved. Thus, when Watts
died, Doddridge was on his way to the tomb, dying by the slow process of
consumption. Great as was the difference in point of age, it is affecting
to read the following letter from Watts to Doddridge—indeed, it simply
expresses the truth they were “both going out of the world.”
“STOKE NEWINGTON, _Oct. 18, 1746_, Saturday.
“DEAR SIR,
“My much esteemed friend and brother,
“It was some trouble to me that you even fancied I had
taken anything ill at your hands; it was only my own great
indisposition and weakness which prevented the freedom and
pleasure of _conversation_; and I am so low yet that I can
neither study nor preach, nor have I any hope of better days
in this world; but, blessed be God, we are moving onwards, I
hope, to a state infinitely better. I should be glad of more
Divine assistance from the Spirit of Consolation, to make me
go cheerfully through the remaining days of my life. I am very
sorry to find, by reports from friends, that you have met with
so many vexations in these latter months of life; and yet I
cannot find that your sentiments are altered, nor should your
orthodoxy or charity be called in question. I shall take it a
pleasure to have another letter from you, informing me that
things are much easier, both with you and in the west country.
As we are both going out of the world, we may commit each other
to the care of our common Lord, who is, we hope, ours in an
unchangeable covenant. I am glad to hear Mrs. Doddridge has
her health better; and I heartily pray for your prosperity,
peace, and success in your daily labours.
“I am yours affectionately, in our common Lord,
“I. WATTS.
“P.S.—I rejoice to hear so well of Mr. Ashworth: I hope my lady
and I have set him up with commentators, for which he has given
us both thanks. I trust I shall shortly see your third volume
of the ‘Family Expositor.’”
Watts’ life was uniform; we can scarcely point to a period and say the
man woke into life and being then and there; but Doddridge reached his
period of interior life and labour when he became pastor and tutor at
Northampton, and it would almost seem as if disappointment in love made a
man of him.
The work accomplished by Doddridge in the academy of which he was tutor
was enormous, and it exhibits the thoroughness of the training in the
small unostentatious academy where the Dissenting ministers of that day
gathered their stores of knowledge, and received their education for the
ministry.
And he was great as a preacher—the peasants of the neighbourhood thought
so—his usefulness among them was eminent; and Akenside, the poet, thought
so. The variety of his correspondence is an amazing characteristic too;
various, not only as to the personages with whom he corresponded, but the
subjects upon which he corresponded with them. Like Watts, his sweet and
gentle nature charmed the most obdurate—he had not even a Bradbury to
ruffle the equanimity of his spirit—even the rough and savage Warburton
became kind to him; he reviewed the “Divine Legation,” in the “Works
of the Learned,” a review of that day; and it was to the English Bishop
who quarrelled with everybody, the gentle Nonconformist was indebted for
obtaining that easy passage in the sailing vessel, in which the captain
gave up his cabin to him, that he might journey to the warm airs of
Lisbon to lay aside his labours and to die. Doddridge is known by many
of his works. His “Family Expositor” a long time held a place in the
family and in the study; but a far more extensive fame has followed the
authorship of “The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul.” This work,
as its dedication to Dr. Watts shows, owes also its existence to him;
two letters exhibit, on either side, the sentiments these admirable men
entertain for each other; the first is the dedication to which reference
has been made:
“REV. AND DEAR SIR,
“With the most affectionate gratitude and respect I beg
leave to present you a book, which owes its existence to
your request, its copiousness to your plan, and much of its
perspicuity to your review, and to the use I made of your
remarks on that part of it which your health and leisure would
permit you to examine. I address it to you, not to beg your
patronage to it, for of that I am already well assured, and
much less from any ambition of attempting your character, for
which, if I were more equal to the subject, I should think
this a very improper place, but chiefly from a secret delight
which I find in the thought of being known to those whom this
may reach as one whom you have honoured, not only with your
friendship, but with so much of your esteem and approbation
too, as must substantially appear in your committing a work
to me, which you had yourself projected, as one of the most
considerable services of your life.
“I have long thought the love of popular applause a meanness
which a philosophy far inferior to that of our Divine Master,
might have us to conquer. But to be esteemed by eminently
great and good men, to whom we are intimately known, appears
to me not only one of the most solid attestations of some
real worth, but, next to the approbation of God and our own
consciences, one of its most valuable rewards. It will, I doubt
not, be found so in that world to which spirits like | [

At noon the party halted the horses to graze an hour, and all the
others found that âTootsieâ had regained his usual demeanor and was the
life of the party. His new name amused him, but he accepted it with
good grace, and sang, after pulling his bugle from his saddle horn:

That night they camped at the mouth of a little ravine which offered
water and tender grass for the horses.
It was a beautiful night, and the scout, when the moon arose, was
tempted to âstretch his legs a bit,â after a long day in the saddle,
and look about the country.
Tootsie asked permission to accompany him and the request was promptly
granted.
They set out, keeping a southerly course along the bank of the ravine
until they came out on a flat-topped and vertical-sided butte of
considerable height.
In the hazy light they could not see far, but the soft evening breezes
from the almost limitless plains came sweet and pure and dream-inducing.
Standing well out on the cliff, the scout noticed that under the side
of a neighboring butte of like formation, one hundred rods away, a
party of Indians were holding some sort of a ceremony. He had no doubt
they were warriors and offering some sacrifice to propitiate the Great
Spirit because of their intended exploit, or to win protection in
expected battles to come.

work._
_MAIN HOMILETICS OF VERSE_ 2.
_Apostolic Estimate of Christian Character._
+I. Suggestive phases of Christian character.+--"Saints and faithful
brethren in Christ which are at ColossÃ."
1. _Saints._--This implies union with God and a personal
participation in His righteousness. This is the root of the saintly
life. Faith in Christ is the point and means of junction.
Canonisation cannot make a saint. Must be saintly experience to
produce saintly conduct. A holy reputation excites to action
consistent with itself. Nehemiah refused to hide from threatened
assassination as an act beneath his well-known character for high
integrity and bravery (Neh. vi. 11).
2. _Faithful brethren which are at ColossÃ._--Implies union with each
other. They embraced a common faith and held steadfastly together
amid the agitations of false teachers and the defections of the
wavering. Christianity blends the strangest elements. It is a foe to
all national enmities and prejudices. Paul, a Jew, Timothy, a
Grecian, and the Colossians, a mixture of several races, are here
united in a holy and faithful brotherhood. "Here the Gentile met the
Jew whom he had been accustomed to regard as an enemy of the human
race; the Romans met the lying Greek sophist, the Syrian slave, the
gladiator born beside the Danube. In brotherhood they met, the
natural birth and kindred of each forgotten, the baptism alone
remembered in which they had been born again to God and to each
other" (_Ecce Homo_).
3. _The sublime origin of the Christian character._--"_In_ Christ."
Character is the development and crystallisation of a _life._ The
character of the blossom and fruit is decided by the vital energy in
the tree. Christ is the unfathomable fount of all spiritual life; the
ideal pattern and formative force of a perfect character. He is the
centre and bond of all true brotherhood.
+II. The salutation supplicates the bestowment of highest Divine
blessings.+--1. _Grace._ A term of vast significance, inclusive of
all the blessings that can flow from the superabundant and free
favour of God. Grace is the source of all _temporal_ good--life,
health, preservation, success, felicity; and of all _spiritual_
benefactions--pardon, soul-rest, guidance, strength, deliverance,
purity, final triumph. The generosity of God is illimitable.
2. _Peace._--Grace expresses the spirit and fulness in which Divine
manifestations come to us; peace the result they accomplish in us.
_Peace with God._ Sin has thrown human nature into a state of discord
and enmity. The reception of grace must ever precede the enjoyment of
peace. The universal mistake is, in first seeking, through many
avenues, the happiness which peace with God alone can bring, instead
of accepting humbly, penitently, believingly, the grace of God in
Christ. _Peace with each other_--peace in the Church. How great a
blessing is this! One turbulent spirit can ruffle the tranquillity of
thousands.
3. _The source of the blessings desired._--"From God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ." The Father's love and the Son's work are the
sole source and cause of every blessing to humanity, while the Holy
Spirit is the agent of their communication. The Trinity is ever
harmonious in acts of beneficence; the Divine fountain is
inexhaustible.
+Learn.+--1. _The broad, deep charity of the apostolic spirit._
2. _The scope and temper of the prayers we should offer for the race._
_MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.--Verses_ 3-5.
_The Causes of Ministerial Thanksgiving._
It is customary with the apostle to begin his epistles with the
ardent expression of thanksgiving. This showed the devout habit of
his mind, his constant and emphatic recognition of the grand source
of good, and his deep interest in the spiritual condition of those to
whom he wrote.
+I. Thanksgiving an essential element in prayer.+--"We give
thanks, . . . praying always for you" (ver. 3). The participle marks
the thanksgiving as part of the prayer, and the adverb makes it
prominent, indicating that when they _prayed for them they always
gave thanks._ There is no true prayer without thanksgiving. Gratitude
intensifies the soul's sense of dependence on God and prompts the cry
for the needed help; and, on the other hand, earnest prayer naturally
glides into fervent thankfulness. As one sin is interlinked with and
produced by another, so the use of one grace begets another. The more
temporal things are used, the more they wear and waste; but spiritual
things are strengthened and increased with exercise. Every spiritual
grace has in it the seed of an endless reproductiveness. Underlying
every thanksgiving for others is a spirit of tender, disinterested
love. Moved by this passion, the apostle, from the midst of
imprisonment and sorrow, could soar on the wings of gratitude and
prayer to heaven. "Thanksgiving will be the bliss of eternity."
+II. The Being to whom all thanksgiving is due.+--"To God, the Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ" (ver. 3). God is the Father of Jesus
Christ, not only as God, by an eternal generation and communication
of His whole essence unto Him in a method to us mysterious and
ineffable, but also as man by virtue of the personal union of the two
natures in Christ, and in a special sense exceeding every other way
in which He is Father to man or angels. Thus, God and the Father of
our Lord Jesus are one; the particle "and" being exegetic of the same
thing, not copulative of something different. All our blessings have
their source in the bosom of the Divine Father. Christ is the only
revealer of the Father, and the active agent in bestowing the
paternal benefits on humanity. The paternal aspect of the Divine
character as unfolded by Jesus Christ is most fascinating and
assuring; and the loving heart delights to trace its blessings up to
the Parent of all good and to render Him devout and grateful praise.
+III. This thanksgiving was grounded on the reputation of their faith
in the Author of Christianity.+--"Since we heard of your faith in
Christ" (ver. 4).
1. _Christ is the object and foundation of all true faith._--He is so
as the Divinely consecrated Deliverer of the race. The grandeur of
His redeeming work and the dignity and glory of His character are
suggested by the titles here given to Him. Man must believe in
Christ, not as an abstract truth, not as a poetic conception, not as
a dim impersonal force acting in the sphere of ideality, but as a
Divine-human _person_--the anointed Saviour.
2. _True faith is the root principle of the Christian life._--Without
it neither love nor hope could exist. All the graces that strengthen
and beautify the Christian character must grow out of faith.
3. _True faith is ever manifest._--"Since we heard." It is seen in
the changed disposition and conduct of the individual believer. It is
marked by the anxious Christian worker and becomes known to a wide
circle of both friends and foes. Epaphras rejoiced to bear tidings of
the fact; and the soul of the apostle, since he heard, glowed with
grateful praise. Happy the people whose highest reputation is their
faith in Jesus!
+IV. This thanksgiving was grounded on their possession of an
expansive Christian love.+--"And of the love which ye have to all the
saints" (ver. 4). Love to Christ is necessarily involved, for love to
the saints is really a generous, unselfish affection for Christ's
image in them. Love is all-embracing. Peculiarities, defects,
differences of opinion, distance, are no barriers to its penetrating
ardour. It is the unanswerable evidence of moral transformation
(1 John iii. 14). It is the grandest triumph over the natural enmity
of the human heart. It is the indissol | [

fellow, whose great ambition, he confided to her, was to live in a
New York sky-scraper and shoot up and down in the elevator, which was
entirely contrary to her inclinations, and she told him so. I was not
so lucky, but I shall always remember that evening with unalloyed
pleasure for the hearty and unaffected hospitality of our hosts and of
everybody. The Crown Prince talked of America and its people with warm
appreciation, and of President Roosevelt as a chief prop of the world’s
peace, at the very time when some people at home were yet shouting
that he was a firebrand. He thought him a wonderful man, and we did
not disagree. The thing that especially challenged his admiration was
his capacity for work--for getting things done. That any one could get
access to him in a nation of eighty millions, and get a hearing if
he was entitled to one, seemed to him marvellous. He was interested
in everything done for the toiler in our great cities, and heard
with visible interest of the progress we were making in the search
for the lost neighbor. The talk strayed to the unhappy conditions in
Russia, the Jewish massacres, and the threatening unrest. My wife was
expressing her horror at the things we read, and I began to feel that
we were skating on very thin ice, seeing that the Czar was the Crown
Prince’s nephew, when I heard him say to her, with great earnestness,
“You may believe that if my sister had the influence many think,
many a burden would be eased for that unhappy people.” And my heart
swelled with gratitude; for Crown Prince Frederik’s sister, the Czar’s
mother, was the sweet Princess Dagmar whom every Danish boy loved when
I was one of them, unless he were the sworn knight of Alexandra, her
beautiful sister.
After dinner we strayed through the garden that lies in the shelter of
the deep beech forest, and when it was bedtime the boys, including my
wife’s cavalier, came to kiss their father good-night. It was all as
sweet a picture of family happiness as if it were our own White House
at home, and it did us good to witness. I think our host saw it, for
when we shook hands at the leave-taking he said: “You have seen now how
happily and simply we live here, and I am glad you came. Now, take back
with you my warm greeting to your great President, and tell him that we
all of us admire him and trust him, and are glad of the prosperity of
his people--your people.”
He had expressed a wish to my wife to read our story, and I sent to
London for a copy of “The Making of an American,” which he fell to
reading at once, according to his habit. They say in Denmark that he
reads everything and never forgets anything, and has it all at his
fingers’ end always. I had proof of that when we next met. It was in
the Old Town at the reopening of the Domkirke. I was coming out of
our hotel at seven in the morning, and in the Square ran plumb into a
gentleman in a military cloak, who had a young man for company and a
girl of fifteen or sixteen.
“Good morning, Mr. Riis,” said he. “I hope you are well, and your wife,
since last we met.”
It must surely be that I am getting old and foolish. The voice I knew;
there are few as pleasing. But the man--I stood and looked at him,
while a smile crept over his features and broadened there. All at once
I knew.
“But, good gracious, your Royal Highness,” I said, “who would expect
to find you here before any one is up and stirring? You are really
yourself to blame.”
He laughed. “We are early risers, my children and I. We have been up
and out since six o’clock.” And so they had, I learned afterwards, to
the despair of the cook at the Bishop’s house where they were staying.
He introduced his son and daughter. “And now,” said the Prince with a
smile that had a challenge in it, “where do you suppose we have been?
Down at the river to look at the bridge where you first met your wife.
You see, I have read your book. But we did not find it.”
I explained that the Long Bridge had been but a memory these twenty
years, but to me a very dear one, and he nodded brightly, “Give her my
warm regards.” She was glad when I told her, for her loyal heart had
made room for him beside his sweet sisters from our childhood. When the
lilacs bloomed again, I was alone, and he sent me a message of sorrow
and sympathy. And because of that, for his liking of her, he shall
always have a place in my heart.
They told no end of stories of the delight he had given by this gift,
so invaluable in a public man, of remembering and recognizing men after
the lapse of years. One peasant, come to town to see the show, was
halted by Prince Frederik in the market square, as was I, and greeted
as an old comrade. They had been recruits together in one regiment;
for the royal princes in Denmark have to serve in the ranks with their
fellow-citizens. They are not made generals at birth. In Copenhagen I
was told that the Prince kept tab on all that went on in the Rigsdag,
and the man without convictions dreaded nothing so much as his long
memory. With reason it would seem; for not long before, when a certain
member of the Opposition made a troublesome speech, the Crown Prince
calmly brought out his scrap-book and showed the embarrassed minister
where the same man had taken the exactly opposite stand half a score
of years before. It is not hard to understand how a memory like that
might become potent in the deliberations of a parliamentary body,
particularly among a people with a keen sense of the ridiculous, like
the Danes. However, they have something better than that. They are
above all a loyal people. I have never seen anything more touching or
more creditable to a nation than the way the Danes put aside their
claims when the dispute between them and King Christian’s ministers
over constitutional rights became bitter, and the King, loyal himself
to the backbone, would not let the ministers go.
“He is of the past that does not comprehend,” they said, “but he is our
good old King and we love him.”
* * * * *
And the clouds blew over, and the people and their ruler were united in
an affection that wiped out every trace of resentment. King Frederik is
of the present. He knows his people, and they trust him with the love
they gave his father. Stronger buttress was never built for a happy
union of Prince and People.

=Treatment of Constipation.=—This should always be preventive, and
the diet is a most important factor. The food should be of a coarse
quality, that is, such as directly stimulates the walls of the
intestine to contraction by their constitutents, or by the large
amount of Home / Collections / Books / A Splinter of Time

substituted for white bread. Toast is always constipating. Plenty of
fresh fruit and vegetables should be eaten. For those who can digest
them, raw apples, eaten just before retiring, are a great Home / Collections / Books / A Splinter of Time
Publisher : New York : William Morrow,aid. The
drinking of a sufficient quantity of water daily is also essential,
and this quantity must be 3 pints. A glassful of cold water, taken
the first thing in the morning on rising, is often very effective. If
this is insufficient, the phosphate of soda, one teaspoonful to one
tablespoonful, may be added.
_Habit._—Nowhere is the effect of habit more conspicuous than in the
matter of a daily evacuation of the bowels. There should be a fixed
time every day for this, and the very best time is in the morning,
directly after breakfast. Such a habit, once established, will
enforce itself upon the attention and make regularity a necessity.
It not infrequently happens that constipation is the result of
irregularity in going to the toilet. The school-girl or woman gets up
a little late, and, although she may feel the inclination to empty
the bowels, she is able to defer it.
If the movement is sufficiently large, one stool daily Home / Collections / Books / A Splinter of Time
Publisher : New York : William Morrow,is sufficient,
but where the stool is slight in quantity, there may be two or three
during the day, entirely consistent with health, and in a run down
state of the system there are apt to be several small movements
rather than one full stool. So long as the stools are not watery, the
individual may rest assured that there is no looseness of the bowels.
Constipation should never be allowed to become chronic. It is, as has
already been shown, the progenitor of myriads of the most serious
diseases; and, after the bad habits of years have been established,
it is one of the most obstinate of diseases to cure. In every case a
good physician should be consulted at once, and the treatment should
be persevered in until the cure is complete. It is a well-known fact
that all medicines for this trouble lose their effect, the dose has
to be increased, and a frequent change made from one laxative to
another. When everything else fails, electricity may be resorted to.
It is one of our most valuable remedies, since it brings about a cure
through the toning up of the muscular walls of the intestine.
The constant use of hot clysters to empty the rectum is one of
the most pernicious habits; in this manner the bowel becomes
overdistended and loses its tone, and the fecal mass is not
sufficiently large to cause the distention of the rectum, which is
the normal stimulus leading to the desire to defecate.
=The Amount of Food Required.=—Food is required for growth and for
repair; that is, to build up the organism and make good the loses
sustained by physiologic processes, to maintain the heat of the
organism, and to supply it with mechanical energy.
It has become an established custom to compare the human body to a
machine. Both derive their power from fuel; in both instances the
potential energy of the fuel is transformed into kinetic energy or
mechanical power which works the machine; in both cases the energy
which is not used in work escapes in the form of heat.
The human body uses the mechanical power chiefly in muscular work;
the heat is used in warming the body and causing the evaporation of
moisture from its surface. The animal organism is much superior to
the mechanical engine. It is more economic in the use of fuel; it
has a nervous organization rendering it sensible to impressions and
capable of directing its energies. The human machine is capable of
adapting itself to many circumstances and changes in the demands upon
it.
But to enable the body to continue to perform these functions
indefinitely it must be properly fed, and a proper feeding of the
body requires a knowledge of its composition and the exchanges which
are constantly going on. This knowledge is to be derived from a study
of its metabolism, the analysis of foods, and a determination of
their heat values.
=The Classification of Foods.=—Foods are divided into proteins,
carbohydrates, fats, mineral salts, and water. The body is composed
of materials belonging to the same groups. Proteins form the
principal part of muscles, bones, and many other tissues of animal
bodies; they also constitute some of the most important vegetable
structures.
_Proteins_ are probably the most complex compounds in nature; all
contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, generally sulphur,
and sometimes phosphorus also. They are, with rare exceptions,
colloids, that is, glue-like, non-crystalline bodies, which even in
solution cannot pass through animal membranes.
The building stones of the body are the amino-acids. All proteins
contain them, but the kinds and proportions are not always the same.
It has been shown by biologic experiments that life and growth cannot
be maintained when certain Home / Collections / Books / A Splinter of Time
Publisher : New York : William Morrow,amino-acids are deficient.
Proteins are of use to the human body as tissue formers, and,
secondly, as producers of energy, but they also have a food value
as flavoring agents, rendering the food appetizing, and so are to a
certain extent stimulants. The palatability of meats and soups are
due to their presence. The amino-acids have decided heat value.
The necessity for proteins in the diet has been abundantly
demonstrated. Many investigations have shown that when Home / Collections / Books / A Splinter of Time
Publisher : New York : William Morrow,the food
contains no protein the waste of nitrogen continues, no matter how
abundant the supply of carbohydrates and fats. In other words, a
continuous protein cleavage is demanded by the animal organism, and
no other nutriments can serve as a substitute for protein to meet
this demand. If the food contains no protein, the body tissues will
be depleted. It cannot be said that carbohydrates or fats are an
essential part of the diet in the sense that protein is, because it
is possible to substitute one for the other to produce energy, or to
substitute proteins for both.
In spite of these facts, it is safe to assert that the welfare of
the human organism is best promoted by a mixed diet, including all
three classes of food. The larger part of man’s food is used for the
production of energy, and it is physiologically economic that this
energy be supplied by the non-nitrogenous nutrients, particularly the
carbohydrates, and to allocate to protein, so far as practicable, its
special rôle of building material.

futile incompetent anguish, while I heard her heart breaking as if it
were so much strong stuff being splintered there in her side.
It was six o’clock when she went to her room. The servants were not
yet about. The house was still, impenetrably calm, the curtains still
drawn, the formality of its beautiful equanimity unchanged.
Six o’clock; Bianca and Philibert were well on their way by that
time, travelling south, rolling smoothly along over long white roads
between mysterious poplars in a misty dawn. They had provisions with
them in the car. I can see them now as I think back, opening a bottle
of champagne, eating sandwiches, and I can hear their laughter. They
were very gay, very pleased with the way they had done it. They had
walked straight out of François’ house together at three thirty in the

That was long ago. We were young then. What a haunting annoying phrase.
One meets it everywhere, in books, on people’s lips, or unspoken in
their eyes. The other day in the Grey House, sitting opposite Jane
in the shabby little parlour, there it was again. She spoke it, but
not wistfully, more with relief than regret. I stayed ten days in St.

The next threethe ache? One can’t.
I can’t feel again that agony. I suppose it was agony. You remember
it better than I do, for you saw it. One remembers things one has
seen and things one did, but not what went on inside one’s own dark,
impenetrable body and soul, invisibly. I remember what I did at
that time and what I said and what other people said and looked. I
remember your face, and Jinny’s fear of me, and her fretting for her
father, and Fan’s coming and saying that I looked like a mad woman,
and from these facts I deduce the other fact that I was suffering,
but I have forgotten the feeling. That is very strange when you come

The next threeus up, to consume us for a moment, then they
vanish. They have no body, no staying power, no reality, but we mould
our lives by them.
I am a woman. My life has always centred about people. In tracing the
course of events, I find that their causes were invariably personal--My
life is a long strong twisted rope made up of a number of human
relationships, nothing more. There was first my mother, and my Aunt
Patience, then Philibert, Bianca and Geneviève. Philibert went away. I
did without him. One can do without anything,--everything. I am proving
it now. But Bianca kept coming back; I never got rid of her.
My life is a failure. It is finished. It is there in its dreadful,
unchangeable completeness spread out before me. I look at it, as I
would look at a map, and when I think that it is I who made it, this
thing called a human life, I am bewildered and ashamed. How did it come
about that I made so many mistakes, and did so much that was harmful to
others? There was no desire in my heart to hurt, no will to do wrong.
On the contrary I wanted to make people happy, I wanted to do right.
It is very strange. It is almost as if the intensity of my will to do
right forced me to do the wrong thing. Is there some explanation? Is
there a key to the problem of living that I never found? Or was it all
simply due to Bianca? My Aunt Beth used to say that the only way to
live rightly was to do the will of God. But what does that mean? How is

prisoner said, "I must make a confidant of somebody, and I know not a
more proper person than yourself, you have treated me so kindly." He
then made a full confession of his rank, and gave a brief narrative of
his career in America since his capture at St. Johns. Procuring writing
materials, he wrote the following letter to Washington:
"Salem, _the 24th September, 1780_.
"Sir: What I have as yet said concerning myself was in the justifiable
attempt to be extricated. I am too little accustomed to duplicity to
have succeeded.
"I beg your Excellency will be persuaded that no alteration in the
temper of my mind, or apprehension for my safety, induces me to take
the step of addressing you, but that it is to rescue myself from an
imputation of having assumed a mean character for treacherous purposes
or self-interest, a conduct incompatible with the principles which
actuate me, as well as my condition in life. It is to vindicate my
fame that I speak, and not to solicit security. The person in your
possession is Major John André, adjutant-general in the British army.
"The influence of one commander with another in the army of his
adversary is an advantage taken in war. A correspondence for this
purpose I held, as confidential, in the present instance, with his
Excellency Sir Henry Clinton.
"To favor it, I agreed to meet upon ground not within the posts of
either army a person who was to give me intelligence. I came up in the
_Vulture_ man-of-war for this effect, and was fetched by a boat from
the shore to the beach; being there, I was told that the approach of
day would prevent my return, and that I must be concealed until the
next night. I was in my regimentals, and had fairly risked my person.
"Against my stipulation and without my knowledge beforehand, I was
conducted within one of your posts. Your Excellency will conceive my
sensation on this occasion, and will imagine how much more I must have
been affected, by a refusal to reconduct me back the next night as I
had been brought. Thus become a prisoner, I had to concert my escape.
I quitted my uniform, and was passed another way in the night, without
the American posts to neutral ground, and informed I was beyond
all armed parties, and left to press for New York. I was taken at
Tarrytown by some volunteers. Thus, as I have had the honor to relate,
was I betrayed (being adjutant-general of the British army) into the
vile condition of an enemy in disguise within your posts.
"Having avowed myself a British officer, I have nothing to reveal but
what relates to myself, which is true, on the honor of an officer
and a gentleman. The request I have to make to your Excellency, and
I am conscious I address myself well, that in any rigor feeling
may dictate, a decency of conduct toward me may mark, that, though
unfortunate, I am branded with nothing dishonorable, as no motive
could be mine but the service of my King, and as I was an involuntary
impostor.
"Another request is, that I may be permitted to write an open letter
to Sir Henry Clinton, and another to a friend for clothes and linen.
"I take the liberty to mention the condition of some gentlemen at
Charlestown, who, being either on parole or under protection, were
engaged in a conspiracy against us. Though their situation is not
exactly similar, they are objects who may be set in exchange for me,
or are persons whom the treatment I receive may affect.
"It is no less, sir, in a confidence in the generosity of your mind,
than on account of your superior station, that I have chosen to
importune you with this letter.
"I have the honor to be, with great respect, sir, your Excellency's
most obedient and most humble servant,
"John André, _Adjutant-General_.
"His Excellency General WASHINGTON."

CHAPTER VI.
Washington lodged at Fishkill, eighteen miles from West Point, on the
night of September 24th, and early the next morning (the day appointed
for Clinton to ascend the river and receive the surrender of the
post in the Highlands) he and his companions reached the vicinity of
Arnold's quarters, where they intended to breakfast. He and two or
three officers turned aside to inspect a redoubt, while Lafayette,
Hamilton, and other young officers, rode forward with a message from
their chief to Mrs. Arnold, bidding her not to delay breakfast on his
| [

Frasers, under the command of Hugh, Lord Lovat, who had married a
daughter of the Marquis. These men believed that they were destined
to support the abdicated king, but were in reality assembled to serve
the government of William. When in front of Blair Castle, their real
destination was disclosed to them by Lord Tullibardine. Instantly
they rushed from their ranks, ran to the adjoining stream of Banovy,
and filling their bonnets with water, drank to the health of King
James; then with colours flying and pipes playing, fifteen hundred
of the men of Athole put themselves under the command of the Laird
of Ballechin, and marched off to join Lord Dundee, whose chivalrous
bravery and heroic exploits had excited their admiration more than
those of any other warrior since the days of Montrose.â
The number of Highland clans has been variously estimated, but it
is probable that when they were in their most flourishing condition
it amounted to about forty. Latterly, by including many undoubtedly
Lowland houses, the number has been increased to about a hundred,
the additions being made chiefly by tartan manufacturers. Mr Skene
has found that the various purely Highland clans can be clearly
classified and traced up as having belonged to one or other of the
great mormaordoms into which the north of Scotland was at one time
divided. In his history of the individual clans, however, this is not
the classification which he adopts, but one in accordance with that
which he finds in the manuscript genealogies. According to these, the
people were originally divided into several great tribes, the clans
forming each of these separate tribes being deduced from a common
ancestor. A marked line of distinction may be drawn between the
different tribes, in each of which indications may be traced serving
more or less, according to Mr Skene, to identify them with the
ancient mormaorships or earldoms.
In the old genealogies each tribe is invariably traced to a common
ancestor, from whom all the different branches or clans are supposed
to have descended. Thus we have--1. _Descendants of Conn of the
Hundred Battles_, including the Lords of the Isles, or Macdonalds,
the Macdougals, the Macneills, the Maclachlans, the Macewens, the
Maclaisrichs, and the Maceacherns; 2. _Descendants of Fearchar
Fada Mac Feradaig_, comprehending the old mormaors of Moray, the
Mackintoshes, the Macphersons, and the Macnauchtans; 3. _Descendants
of Cormac Mac Oirbertaig_, namely, the old Earls of Ross, the
Mackenzies, the Mathiesons, the Macgregors, the Mackinnons, the
Macquarries, the Macnabs, and the Macduffies; 4. _Descendants
of Fergus Leith Dearg_, the Macleods and the Campbells; and 5.
_Descendants of Krycul_, the Macnicols.
Whatever may be the merits or defects of this distribution, it is
convenient for the purpose of classification. It affords the means of
referring the different clans to their respective tribes, and thus
avoiding an arbitrary arrangement; and it is further in accordance
with the general views which have already been submitted to the
reader respecting the original constitution of clanship. We shall
not, however, adhere strictly to Mr Skeneâs arrangement.

[132] â_Toisich_,â says Dr Macpherson, âwas another title of
honour which obtained among the Scots of the middle ages. Spelman
imagined that this dignity was the same with that of Thane. But the
Highlanders, among whose predecessors the word was once common,
distinguished carefully in their language the _toisich_ from the
_tanistair_ or the _tierna_. When they enumerate the different
classes of their great men, agreeably to the language of former
times, they make use of these three titles, in the same sentence,
with a disjunctive particle between them.â âIn Gaelic,â he adds,
â_tus_, _tos_, and _tosich_ signify the _beginning_ or _first part_
of anything, and sometimes the _front_ of an army or battle.â Hence
perhaps the name _toisich_, implying the post of honour which
the oldest cadet always occupied as his peculiar privilege and
distinction. Mr Robertson, however, thinks _toshach_ is derived from
the same root as the Latin _dux_. (_Early Kings_, i. 26.)
[133] Skeneâs _Highlanders_, vol. ii. pp. 177, 178. That the captains
of clans were originally the oldest cadets, is placed beyond all
doubt by an instance which Mr Skene has mentioned in the part of
his work here referred to. âThe title of captain occurs but once in
the family of the Macdonalds of Slate, and the single occurrence of
this peculiar title is when the clan Houston was led by the uncle of
their chief, then in minority. In 1545, we find Archibald Maconnill,
captain of the clan Houston; and thus, on the only occasion when this
clan followed as a chief a person who had not the right of blood to
that station, he styles himself captain of the clan.â

Of that pure spousal fane inviolate,
Where it should make eternal truth its mate,
May cheer the sacred, solitary way?
Oh! be the whisper of thy voice within
Enough to strengthen! Be the hope to win
A more deep-seeing homage for thy name,
Far, far beyond the burning dream of fame!
Make me thine only!--Let me add but one
To those refulgent steps all undefiled,
Which glorious minds have piled
Through bright self-offering, earnest, childlike, lone,
For mounting to thy throne!
And let my soul, upborne
On wings of inner morn,
Find, in illumined secrecy, the sense
Of that bless’d work, its own high recompense.
The dimness melts away
That on your glory lay,
O ye majestic watchers of the skies!
Through the dissolving veil,
Which made each aspect pale,
Your gladdening fires once more I recognise;
And once again a shower
Of hope, and joy, and power,
Streams on my soul from your immortal eyes.
And if that splendour to my sober’d sight
Come tremulous, with more of pensive light--
Something, though beautiful, yet deeply fraught
With more that pierces through each fold of thought
Than I was wont to trace
On heaven’s unshadow’d face--

Unto a radiant ministry, yet still
A lowly, fearful, self-distrusting heart,
Bow’d before thee, O Mightiest! whose bless’d will
All the pure stars rejoicingly fulfil.[422]

THE TRAVELLER’S EVENING SONG.
Father! guide me! Day declines,
Hollow winds are in the pines;
Darkly waves each giant bough
O’er the sky’s last crimson glow:
Hush’d is now the convent’s bell,
Which erewhile with breezy swell
From the purple mountains bore
Greeting to the sunset-shore.
Now the sailor’s vesper-hymn
Dies away.
Father! in the forest dim,
Be my stay!
In the low and shivering thrill
Of the leaves that late hung still;
In the dull and muffled tone
Of the sea-wave’s distant moan;
In the deep tints of the sky,
There are signs of tempests nigh.
Ominous, with sullen sound,
Falls the closing dusk around.
Father! through the storm and shade
O’er the wild,
Oh! be _Thou_ the lone one’s aid--
Save thy child!
Many a swift and sounding plume
Homewards, through the boding gloom,
O’er my way hath flitted fast
Since the farewell sunbeam pass’d
From the chestnut’s ruddy bark,
And the pools, now lone and dark,
Where the wakening night-winds sigh
Through the long reeds mournfully.
Homeward, homeward, all things haste--
God of might!
Shield the homeless midst the waste!
Be his light!
In his distant cradle-nest,
Now my babe is laid to rest;
Beautiful its slumber seems
With a glow of heavenly dreams--
Beautiful, o’er that bright sleep.
Hang soft eyes of fondness deep,
Where his mother bends to pray
For the loved and far away.
Father! guard that household bower,
Hear that prayer!
Back, through thine all-guiding power,
Lead me there!
Darker, wilder grows the night;
Not a star sends quivering light
Through the massy arch of shade
By the stern, old forest made.
Thou! to whose unslumbering eyes
All my pathway open lies,
By thy Son who knew distress
In the lonely wilderness,
Where no roof to that bless’d head
Shelter gave--
Father! through the time of dread,
Save--oh, save!
BURIAL OF AN EMIGRANT’S CHILD IN THE FORESTS.
Scene.--_The banks of a solitary river in an American forest. A tent
under pine-trees in the foreground._ Agnes _sitting before the tent,
with a child in her arms apparently sleeping._
_Agnes._ Surely ’tis all a dream--a fever-dream!
The desolation and the agony--
The strange, red sunrise, and the gloomy woods,
So terrible with their dark giant boughs,
And the broad, lonely river!--all a dream!
And my boy’s voice will wake me, with its clear,
Wild singing tones, as they were wont to come
Through the wreath’d sweetbrier at my lattice-panes
In happy, happy England! Speak to me!
Speak to thy mother, bright one! she hath watch’d
All the dread night beside thee, till her brain
Is darken’d by swift waves of fantasies,
And her soul faint with longing for thy voice.
Oh! I _must_ wake him with one gentle kiss
On his fair brow!
(_Shudderingly._) The strange, damp, thrilling touch!
The marble chill! Now, now it rushes back--
Now I know all!--dead--_dead!_--a fearful word!
My boy hath left me in the wilderness,
To journey on without the blessed light
In his deep, loving eyes. He’s gone!--he’s gone!
_Her_ Husband _enters_.
_Husband._ Agnes! my Agnes! hast thou look’d thy last
On our sweet slumberer’s face? The hour is come--
The couch made ready for his last repose.
_Agnes._ Not yet! thou canst not take him from me yet!
If he but left me for a few short days,

âPut âem right over,â urged Frank.
Nearly the whole team was talking to Dick, and the boy needed it, for
he felt himself quivering all over. In vain he had tried to fling
aside that shaking feeling, but it clung to him most persistently.
Somehow, his heart was not in the game, and he felt that he was
going to be batted hard.
The next ball was wild, and the umpire called a ball. Then Dick tried
a high one, which Packard let pass.
âYouâll have to get it down, me bhoy,â said Barney Mulloy.
Dick sent in a swift in shoot, and Packard fanned again.

Rattleton
cried.
âYes, put it over,â muttered Packard.
Dick did not intend to put the next one right over, but he made a
miscalculation and did so.
Packard hit it, driving out a clean single between first and second.
âI knew it!â shouted the man with the dog.
âBow-wow!â barked the dog.
Something seemed to smite Dickâs heart like a blow. A haze rose
before his eyes, across which he brushed his hand. He thought of the
peace and quietude of Pleasant Valley, far away, with the mighty
mountains heaped against the sky, and he longed for the sound of the
wind through the trees and the gentle murmur of Feliciaâs voice. With
this feeling upon him, he was tempted to walk off the diamond and
refuse to pitch another ball.
That was not all, for something within him seemed crying:
âI hate baseball--I hate it!â
The ball was thrown in to him, but he did not see it, and it bounded
past.
Fortunately TSLA Mulls Cash Conversion Cost as China Challenges Dominance – In-depth Increasing Chinese competition and tussel of global regulatio Continental Titanic and TSLA

Hodge was watching and got the ball at once, preventing
Packard from taking second on the throw.
âAll right, Dick,â said Bart, as he tossed the ball to the boy.
âDonât let that jar you. They canât do a thing with you.â
Bart had confidence in the lad, TSLA Mulls Cash Conversion Cost as China Challenges Dominance – In-depth Increasing Chinese competition and tussel of global regulatio Continental Titanic and TSLA

built of observation. At first he
had fancied it folly when Frank wished to pitch Dick in an important
game, but the work of the clever youngster had gradually won Hodge.
Still, Bart considered Frank far superior to any pitcher, and it was
Merry he wished to see in the box.
Dick took the ball and stood facing Mason, the next batter. These
fellows were Frankâs college mates and friends, and something told
Dick that they could bat against him with confidence.

âIf I couldnât play at all would Frank care so much about me?â
âMake him pitch, make him pitch!â cried Morgan.
âThe batter is ready,â said the umpire.
Still Dick stood there like one dazed.
âOne ball!â exclaimed the umpire, making the decision as a penalty
for the delay.
âAll right, Dick--all right,â said the calm voice of Frank. âDonât
mind anything. Drop one over the rubber.â
The word âdropâ was a signal, giving Dick the cue that Mason could
not hit a drop ball very well. The boy started, TSLA Mulls Cash Conversion Cost as China Challenges Dominance – In-depth Increasing Chinese competition and tussel of global regulatio Continental Titanic and TSLA

looked at Hodge,
nodded, and swung his arm.
Packard had obtained a good lead off first, and he scooted for second.
Bart gathered himself, and Mason swung his bat to bother the catcher,
Hodge, however, was not at all disturbed by the bat, and he sent the
ball down with a snapping short-arm throw.
âSlide!â shrieked the coacher.
Packard slid, Rattleton took the ball, and put it onto him hard.
âOut!â cried the umpire.
The crowd shouted.

Alas! they many a fond evasion made;
They could relinquish neither love nor trade.
They went to church, but, thinking, failâd to pray; 320
They felt not ease or comfort at a play.
If times were goodââWe merit not such times;â
If illââIs this the produce of our crimes?â
When sickâââTis thus forbidden pleasures cease;â
When wellâthey both demand, âHad Zimri peace?
For though our worthy master was not slain,
His injured ghost has reason to complain.â
Ah, John! bethink thee of thy generous joy,
When Conscience drove thee from thy late employ;
When thou wert poor, and knew not where to run, 330
But then could say, âThe will of God be done!â
When thou that will, and not thine own, obeyâdâ
Of Him alone, and not of man afraid.
Thou then hadst pity on that wretch, and, free
Thyself, couldst pray for him who injured thee;
Then how alert thy step, thyself how light
All the day long! thy sleep how sound at night!
But now, though plenty on thy board be found,
And thou hast credit with thy neighbours round,
Yet there is something in thy looks that tells, 340
An odious secret in thy bosom dwells.
Thy form is not erect, thy neighbours trace
A coward spirit in thy shifting pace.
Thou goest to meeting, not from any call,
But just to hear, that we are sinners allâ
And equal sinners, or the difference made
âTwixt man and man has but the slightest shade;
That reformation asks a world of pains,
And, after all, must leave a thousand stains;
And, worst of all, we must the work begin 350
By first attacking the prevailing sin!â
These thoughts the feeble mind of John assail,
And oâer his reason and his fears prevail;
They fill his mind with hopes of gifts and grace, }
Faith, feelings!âsomething that supplies the place }
Of true conversionâthis will he embrace; }
For John perceives that he was scarcely tried
By the first conquest, that increased his pride,
When he refused his masterâs crime to aid,
And by his self-applause was amply paid. 360
But now he feels the differenceâfeels it hard
Against his will and favourite wish to guard;
He mourns his weakness, hopes he shall prevail
Against his frailty, and yet still is frail.
Such is his life! and such the life must be
Of all who will be bound, yet would be free;
Who would unite what God to part decreesâ
The offended conscience, and the mind at ease:
Who think, but vainly think, to sin and pray,
And God and Mammon in their turn obey. 370
Such is his life!âand so I would not live
For all that wealthy widows have to give.
TALE XVII.
_DANVERS AND RAYNER._
I.
The purest Friendship, like the finest ware,
Deserves our praises, but demands our care.
For admiration we the things produce,
But they are not designâd for common use;
Flaws the most trifling from their virtue take,
And lamentation for their loss we make;
While common Friendships, like the wares of clay,
Are a cheap kind, but useful every day.
Though crackâd and damaged, still we make them do;
And, when theyâre broken, theyâre forgotten too. 10
There is within the world in which we dwell
A Friendship, answering to that world full well:
An interchange of looks and actions kind,
And, in some sense, an intercourse of mind;
A useful commerce, a convenient trade,
By which both parties are the happier made;
And, when the thing is rightly understood,
And justly valued, it is wise and good.
I speak not here of Friendships that excite
In boys at school such wonder and delightâ 20
Of high, heroic Friends, in serious strife
Contending which should yield a forfeit lifeâ
Such wondrous love, in their maturer days,
Men, if they credit, are content to praise.
I speak not here of Friendships true and just,
When friend can friend with life and honour trust;
Where mind to mind has long familiar grown,
And every failing, every virtue known.
Of these I speak notâthings so rich and rare,
That we degrade with jewels to compare, 30
Or bullion pure and massy.âI intend
To treat of one whose Neighbour called him Friend,
Or called him Neighbour; and with reason goodâ
The friendship ris ing from the neighbourhood:
A sober kind, in common service known,
Not such as is in death and peril shown;
Such as will give or ask a helping hand,
But no important sacrifice demand;
In fact, a friendship that will long abide,
If seldom rashly, never strongly, tried. 40
Yes! these are sober friendships, made for use,
And much convenience they in life produce:
Like a good coat, that keeps us from the cold,
The cloth of frieze is not a cloth of gold;
But neither is it pyebald, pieced, and poor;
âTis a good useful coat, and nothing more.
Such is the Friendship of the world approved,
And here the Friends so loving and so loved.â
DANVERS and RAYNER, equals, who had made
Each decent fortune, both were yet in trade; 50
While sons and daughters, with a youthful zeal,
Seemâd the hereditary love to feel;
And evân their wives, though either might pretend
To claim some notice, callâd each other friend.
While yet their offspring boys and girls appearâd,
The fathers askâd, âWhat evil could be fearâd?â
Nor is it easy to assign the year,
When cautious parents should begin to fear.
The boys must leave their schools, and, by and by,
The girls are sure to grow reserved and shy; 60
And then, suppose a real love should rise,
It but unites the equal families.
Love does not always from such freedom spring;
Distrust, perhaps, would sooner cause the thing.
âWe will not check it, neither will we forceââ
Thus said the fathersââLet it take its course.â
It took its course:âyoung Richard Danversâ mind
In PhÅbe Rayner found what lovers findâ
Sense, beauty, sweetness; all that mortal eyes
Can see, or heart conceive, or thought devise. 70
And PhÅbeâs eye, and thought, and heart could trace
In Richard Danvers every manly graceâ
All that eâer maiden wishâd, or matron prizedâ
So well these good young people sympathised.

3,183 | 52,537 | 6 | we know that he had his
place somewhere within the territoryââerââspecifiedâââ
âWe donât know it,â said Hal. âWeâve only got your word for it. And you
talk so many words that no one knows what youâre saying. You fellows
go and look, if you want to. Iâm going to sleep.â And Hal slid down to
the ground, put his shoulders against the rock, pulled his hat over his
face and evinced every intention of carrying out his threat.
Bee observed him in pained disgust. âHonest, Hal, Iâve a good mind to
leave you out of the Company. You donât take any interest at all in
things! Come on, Jack.â
They walked around nearer the river side of the hill and studied the
slope there. There was nothing to indicate that at one time a house
had stood on it. A few small boulders lay about, to be sure, but
they had evidently never been used in building. To the left of Beeâs
supposititious territory and just above the beach the small tree stood,
misshapen and solitary. Aside from that the vegetation consisted of
wild grass and briars and an occasional low bush of bay-berry or
laurel. Bee frowned intently as he descended the hill, Jack following.
âWhat do you suppose his cabin was built of, Jack?â
âWood, I suppose, since they burned it down. Probably of planks and
stuff that he gathered along the shore. Perhaps he used timbers from
the wrecks.â
âWouldnât he have had a foundation, though?â
âI donât believe so. Anyway, there arenât any stones in sight that look
as though theyâd been used that way. And, of course, burning the house
wouldnât have affected the foundation. Maybe theyâve got covered up,
though.â
Bee shook his head silently as though disagreeing with that theory.
Finallyââ
âWhat gets me, though,â he said, âis that there isnât even a level
place here. It doesnât seem likely heâd have built on the slope without
levelling off a bit.â
âI donât know. The slope isnât steep. He might have.â
âHe must have. Iâm certain the cabin stood somewhere around here. If I
was going to dig Iâd start pretty near where weâre standing.â
âBut look here, Bee, we donât know that; supposing, of course, he
really did bury some money or something, he buried it near the house.
He might have buried under a tree orââwell, almost anywhere.â
âThatâs true, but the story goes that the old chap saw the constables
coming and hurriedly dug a hole and hid his wealth. Well, if that is so
he wouldnât have climbed to the top of the hill in plain sight of the
officers; now would he? Heâd probably have dug a hole behind the house
orââThatâs it!â
âWhatâs it?â
âWhy, very likely he didnât have any floor to his cabin and he just dug
a hole in the dirt inside! Howâs that?â
âSounds likely enough,â Jack agreed. âBut you donât want to lose sight
of the fact, Bee, that maybe there wasnât anything buried, after all.
If they didnât see him do it, how did they know? And if they did see
him do it theyâd have dug it up. I wouldnât bank too much on that yarn.â
âI know,â answered Bee untroubledly. âStill, itâs just as likely that
there was treasure of some sort as that there wasnât. If the old
villain was piling ships up on the rocks here for twenty years or so,
as the book I read said he did, he must have got something from them.â
âWell, if they were all schooners, and I guess they were, he wouldnât
find very rich pickings aside from the cargoes. Skippers donât carry
diamonds and gold around with them much.â
âThey donât now, maybe, but perhaps they used to. They traded around
at different ports, didnât they? Well, didnât they have to have money
with them to pay for things? Jack, Iâm plumb sure thereâs something
buried on this island, and if I can find it I mean to. And, look here,
you said awhile ago that he might have buried the stuff under a tree.
Didnât we decide that the trees werenât there then?â
âI believe we did,â laughed Jack. âWe donât know that for certain,
though. Maybe he buried it alongside a rock, Bee.â
Bee pondered that, his gaze sweeping the slope for likely boulders. âIt
wouldnât be hard to dig beside the few rocks here,â he muttered, âand
if everything else fails weâll try that. Well, I suppose weâd better be
getting back home. We canât do any more here today, I guess!â
When they announced that intention to Hal he declared that it was the
first sensible thing he had heard Bee say all the afternoon. After they
were back in the launch and were moving slowly down the little river,
dodging the sand-bars that infested it, Bee was strangely silent. But
as he kept his eyes on Nobodyâs Island as long as it was in sight it
wasnât hard to guess the reason. He was still pondering the problem
of Old Vernyâs treasure. Hal, catching Jackâs eyes, nodded at Bee
and tapped his own head significantly. Jack smiled. Once around The
Clinker, with Nobodyâs Island lost behind Tollerâs Rock, Bee came back
to earth, however.
âWeâll start Tuesday, fellows,â he announced suddenly.
âStart where?â asked Hal, above the thumping of the engine.
âStart for the island; start our search for the treasure.â
âTuesday? Why Tuesday?â
âBecause itâs the day after tomorrow,â replied Bee. âCan you be ready
then, Jack?â
âI guess so. You really mean to do it, then?â
âI surely do. We can get everything we want tomorrow, I think; weâll
get up a list tonight, Hal; and we can load the stuff onto the _Crystal
Spring_ Tuesday forenoon and go over to the island right after lunch.
Can you have the sloop at the town landing about ten oâclock Tuesday
forenoon, Jack?â
âAye, aye, sir!â
âAll right. Thatâs settled. Now, Hal, letâs settle on a name for the
launch, eh?â
âYou neednât trouble yourself,â answered Hal. âSheâs already named.â
âShe is? What is it?â
âHer name is _Corsair_,â replied Hal with dignity.
â_Horse Hair?_ Why _Horse Hair_?â asked Bee bewilderedly.
âI didnât say _Horse Hair_ I said _Corsair_!â
âOh, _Coarse Hair_! Well, whatâââ
âC-o-r-s-a-i-r, _Corsair_, you silly goat!â
â_Oh!_ And again oh! _Corsair_, eh? Well, that might do. What do you
think, Jack?â
âSounds all right to me,â replied Jack when the name had been relayed
to him.
âStill, I think we might find a better one,â said Bee. âNow, letâs
seeâââ
âLook here,â exclaimed Hal warmly, âsheâs my boat and if I want to name
her _Corsair_ I guess I can. And I do. And so she is!â
âGrammatically, Hal, your construction is weak. âI do and | [

walked again to the window and looked out. âAll the same,â he added after
a pause, âthe boxes are not ready and they must be moved to-night.â
âYou have the afternoon to get them ready in,â said Rowton.
âWell, let us have something to eat and set to work,â answered Scrivener.
Rowton crossed the room and rang the bell. Samson appeared after a moment.
âGet something to eat for yourself and this man in the kitchen,â he said.
âIn the kitchen!â said Scrivener; âdo you think I will eat in the kitchen
with your serving man!â
âYou wonât eat with me,â replied Rowton. âI am sick of the whole concern
and have a good mind to cut it.â
âAh! you dare not do that,â said Scrivener; âyou are too deep in by now.
What about the Kimberley diamonds and the silver ingots, and theââ?â
Rowtonâs tone changed. He stood up, and a look of perplexity flitted
across his handsome face.
âIt is true, Scrivener,â he said, âit is too late to withdraw now, and I
did wrong to lose my temper over one like you.â
There was an indescribable scorn in his words.
âYes,â he continued, âI am in too deep; there is nothing for it but to
stay in.â
âAnd the life is a jolly one, my fighting cock,â said Scrivener.
âYes, jolly enough.â Rowton began to hum the first bar of the well-known
song, âBegone, dull care;â and his rich baritone filled the room.
âYes! faith,â he continued, âthe life suits me well enough; I am a jolly
rover, and I like excitement and dare-devil escapes, and all the rest of
the thing. I am sorry I showed temper to you, Scrivener, but the fact is,
I did not want you just now on the scene. I am particularly busy at the
present moment on my own account.â
âBut your time is ours,â said Scrivener. âWhat would Long John say, or
Spider, if I told them you were giving your most precious moments to
private concerns?â
âNow, listen to me, Scrivener,â said the other man; âyour pals may say
exactly what they please of me. I have agreed to take the lead of you
all, and I do not complain of the life; it has plenty of excitement and
there are heaps of plums. I do not attempt also to deny that the richest
plums have fallen into my mouth, but clearly understand once for all,
that I know my own value. I know that I have a head on my shoulders; I
know that I have a keen eye for business; I know that I am a desperate
man whose courage has never yet failed him. No one knows better than
I the game I am playing, and no one more clearly realises what my lot
must be in the long run. âA short life and a merry oneâ is my motto, and
before Heaven! Iâll have it; but if you think, even for a moment, that
you are going, any of you, to bully me or even pretend to lead me, Iâll
cut off to Australia by the very next steamer that sails.â
âYes, and if you do,â said Scrivener, âyouâll be met on board and brought
back; you know where. I do not think,â he continued, âthat I need add any
more.â
âI donât think you need; we both understand the position,â said Rowton.
He sat down again and remained perfectly still, with his hands hanging
between his great legs, his head slightly bent forward. There were lines
of perplexity wrinkling his brow; but presently he looked up with a
laugh, which showed the gleam of strong white teeth.
âYou would suppress me if you could,â he said; âbut it would take a
stronger than you to do that. My day is only at noon; I wait for the
black dog of care, I wait for the demon of misery until the night time.
Now then, tell me, Scrivener, why it is you have altered your plans and
come here at this hour; Samson and I did not expect you until nightfall.â
âI came to tell you,â said Scrivener, âthat the goods which you expect
will not arrive until to-morrow. We have had word at our head office that
it is safer to keep them where they are for another twenty-four hours. I
thought it best to call on purpose.â
âDid any one see you coming?â
âDid any one see me?â said the man, laughing. âOf courseâplenty; why, I
had a pipe and a glass of spirits at the sign of the âJolly Dogs,â on my
way through the village. I am a commercial traveller this time. How do
you like the get-up?â
âAdmirable, most admirable; I did not know you at first. I really thought
you were the character.â
âYes, I was sure these checks would do it,â said Scrivener, looking down
with affection at the hideous pattern of his trousers. âI had a good time
at the âJolly Dogs,â and have ordered dinner there on my return. Oh! Iâm
all right, but I have only told you one half of what brought me here. We
have an important commission for you, Silver, and you are to go up to
town to see Long John to-night.â
âWhat does he want me for?â asked Rowton.
âHe wants you to go to Spain withâââ
The man bent forward and began to whisper.
Rowtonâs brow grew black.
âWhen does he want me to go?â he asked.
âTo-morrow.â
âHow long will the business take?â
âThat depends on yourself; it ought to be done within a fortnight.â
âThen tell Long John from me that he must get some other man to do the
job; I am already engaged and cannot go.â
âThis is madness,â said Scrivener; âyou are the only man among us who can
go. How can you pretend to be one of us and yet shirk duty in this way?â
âYou must get someone else,â repeated Rowton. âAh! here comes lunch; you
can lunch with me, after all, if you please, Scrivener; I can recommend
this round of beef. Samson, bring in some ale.â
The man withdrew.
âYouâll have to go,â pursued Scrivener, as he followed his host to the
table.
âI do not intend to; I have another engagement.â
âBut no one else speaks Spanish; you are the only one among us who has
the slightest smattering of the tongue. You alone can do the work.â
Adrian drew the great joint of beef towards him.
âI am sorry to disoblige,â he said, as he cut huge slices from the joint
and piled them on his guestâs plate, âbut the fact is, I am going to be
married next week.â
âGreat Heaven!â cried Scrivener. âIs this the time for marrying? What do
we want with a woman in the business?â
Rowtonâs black eyes flashed.
âDo you think I would bring her into your accursed business?â he said.
âNot I; but now listen once for all, Scrivener. I marry the girl I love
next week, and I go away with her on a holiday and donât return to
business for a month. For five weeks from now I take complete holiday.
You can tell Long John so from me. At the end of that time I am once more
at his service. Now he can take me or leave me. I am quite willing to cut
the concern, notwithstanding your threats. I can get off to Australia as
knowingly as anybody else.â
âNo, you canât, Rowton; your personality is too marked. Cut four inches
off your height, and take a trifle from your breadth, and give you less
strongly marked features, and you might manage the thing; but what
disguise could you put on that we should not see Adrian Rowton peeping
through? You have no help for yourself; | [

arriving, but there were so many wounded, so very many. Many of those
who had only slight wounds had died of cold.
On returning to the hospital I met one of my friends at the door. He was
a naval officer, and he had brought me a sailor who had been wounded at
the Fort of Ivry. He had been shot below the right eye. He was entered
as Désiré Bloas, boatswain’s mate, aged twenty-seven. He was a
magnificent fellow, very frank looking, and a man of few words.
As soon as he was in bed, Dr. Duchesne sent for a barber to shave him,
as his bushy whiskers had been ravaged by a bullet that had lodged
itself in the salivary gland, carrying with it hair and flesh into the
wound. The surgeon took up his pincers to extract the pieces of flesh
which had stopped up the opening of the wound. He then had to take some
very fine pincers to extract the hairs which were mixed up inextricably
in the torn mass of flesh. When the barber laid his razor very gently
near the wound, the unfortunate man turned livid, and an oath escaped
his lips. He immediately glanced at me and muttered: “Pardon,
mademoiselle.” I was very young, but I appeared much younger than my
age. I looked like a very young girl, in fact. I was holding the poor
fellow’s hand in mine and trying to comfort him with the hundreds of
consoling words that spring from a woman’s heart to her lips, when she
has to soothe moral or physical suffering.
“Ah, mademoiselle,” said poor Bloas, when the wound was finally dressed,
“you gave me courage.”
When he was more easy I asked him if he would like something to eat.
“Yes,” he replied.
“Well, my boy, would you like cheese, soup, or sweets?” asked Mme.
Lambquin.
“Sweets,” replied the strong, powerful-looking fellow, smiling.
Désiré Bloas often talked to me about his mother, who lived near Brest.
He had a veritable adoration for this mother, but he seemed to have a
terrible grudge against his father, for one day, when I asked him
whether his father was still living, he looked up with his fearless eyes
and appeared to fix them on a being visible only to himself, as though
challenging him, with an expression of the most pitiful contempt. Alas,
the brave fellow was destined to a cruel end, but I will return to that
later on.
The sufferings endured through the siege began to have their effect on
the “morale” of the Parisians. Bread had just been rationed out; there
were to be three hundred grammes for adults, and one hundred and fifty
grammes for children. A silent fury took possession of the people at
this news. Women were the most courageous, the men were excited.
Quarrels grew bitter, for some wanted war to the very death, and others
wanted peace.
One day when I entered Frantz Mayer’s room to take him his meal, he went
into the most ridiculous rage. He threw his piece of fowl down on the
ground and declared that he would not eat anything, nothing more at all,
for they had deceived him by telling him that the Parisians had not
enough food to last two days before surrendering, and he had been in the
_ambulance_ seventeen days now, and was having fowl. What the poor
fellow did not know was that I had bought about forty fowls and six
geese at the beginning of the siege, and I was feeding them up in my
dressing-room in the Rue de Rome. Oh, my dressing room was very pretty
just then, and I let Frantz believe that all Paris was full of fowls,
ducks, geese, and other domestic bipeds.
The bombardment continued, and one night I had to have all my patients
transported to the Odéon cellars, for when Mme. Guérard was helping one
of the sick men to get back into bed a shell fell on the bed itself,
between her and the officer. It makes me shudder even now to think that
three minutes previously the unfortunate man would have been killed as
he lay in bed, although the shell did not burst.
We could not stay long in the cellars. The water was getting deeper in
them and rats tormented us. I therefore decided that the _ambulance_
must be moved, and I had the worst of the patients taken to the
Val-de-Grâce Hospital. I kept about twenty men who were on the way to
convalescence. I rented an immense empty flat for them in the Rue de
Provence, and it was there that we awaited the armistice.
I was half dead with anxiety, as I had had no news from my own family
for so long. I could not sleep and had become the very shadow of my
former self.
Jules Favre was entrusted with the negotiations with Bismarck. Oh, those
two days of preliminaries! They were the most unnerving days of any for
the besieged. False reports were spread. We were told of the maddest,
and most exorbitant demands on the part of the Germans, who certainly
were not tender to the vanquished.
There was a moment of stupor when we heard that we had to pay two
hundred million francs down, for our finances were in such a pitiful
state that we shuddered at the idea that we might not be able to make up
the sum of two hundred millions immediately.
Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, who was shut up in Paris with his wife and
brothers, gave his signature for the two hundred millions. This fine
deed was soon forgotten, and there are even people who gainsay it.
When we heard in Paris that the armistice was signed for twenty days, a
frightful sadness took possession of us all, even of those who most
ardently wished for peace.
Every Parisian felt on his cheek the hand of the conqueror. It was the
brand of shame, the blow given by the abominable treaty of peace.
Oh, that 31st of January, 1871! I was anæmic from the siege, undermined
by grief, tortured with anxiety about my family, and I went out with
Mme. Guérard and two friends toward the Parc Monceau. Suddenly one of my
friends, M. De Plancy, turned pale as death. I looked to see what was
the matter, and noticed a soldier passing by. He had no weapons. Two
others passed and they, also, had no weapons. And they were so pale,
too, these poor, disarmed soldiers, these humble heroes. There was such
evident grief and hopelessness in their very gait; and their eyes, as
they looked at us women, seemed to say: “It is not our fault!” It was
all so pitiful, so touching I burst out sobbing, and went back home at
once, for I did not want to meet any more disarmed French soldiers.
CHAPTER XIII
A WARTIME JOURNEY
I decided to set off now as quickly as possible in search of my family.
I asked Paul de Rémusat to get me an audience with M. Thiers, in order
to obtain from him a passport for leaving Paris. I trusted Mme. Guérard
and Mme. Lambquin with disbanding my _ambulance_.
M. Thiers gave me the passport, and I was ready to go, but I could not
start alone. I felt that the journey I was about to undertake was a very
dangerous one, and M. Thiers and Paul de Rémusat had also warned me of
this. I could see, therefore, that I should be very dependent on my
traveling companion all the time, and on this account I decided not to
take a servant with me, but a friend. I very naturally went at once to
Mme. Guérard. Her husband, gentle though he was, refused absolutely to
let her go with me, as he considered this expedition mad and dangerous.
Mad it certainly was, and dangerous, too.
I did not insist, but I sent for my son’s governess, Mlle. Soubise. I
asked her whether she would go with me, and did not attempt to conceal
from her any of the dangers of the journey. She jumped with joy, and
said she would be ready within twelve hours. This girl is at present the
wife of Commandant Monfils-Chesneau. And how strange life is, for she is
now teaching the two daughters of my son, her former pupil.

charge, under condition that I got fifty seats blocked off in the center
of the house. We invited fifty guests, and the remainder of the house
was packed with French citizens of Nouméa, Chinese and Japanese coolies
and native New Caledonians. I showed the five reels called âCannibals of
the South Seas.â Then I showed my four reels of Malekula film, and ended
up with a one-reel subject, Nouméa. We were given an ovation, and both
Osa and I had to make speechesâunderstood by few of those present. The
French have a passion for speeches whether they can understand them or
not. The next morning, we found ourselves celebrities as we walked
through the streets of Nouméa.
CHAPTER III
THE THRESHOLD OF CANNIBAL-LAND
We left New Caledonia at midnight on July 3d, and steamed over a calm
sea to Vila.
Vila is the commercial center as well as the capital of the New Hebrides
and its harbor is one of the finest in the South Seas. On our right, as
we steamed in, was the island of Irriki, a mountain peak rising out of
the sea, on the highest point of which Mr. King has built his house.
Vila is a typical South Seas townâa rambling mixture of tropical and
European architecture and no architecture at all. Its public buildings,
French and British, its churches, and the well-kept British settlement,
with the parade grounds and barracks for the native police, make it more
imposing than the run of the pioneer villages of Melanesia, but it
seemed strange to us that it should be the metropolis for the white
people of thirty islands. We spent a day in Vila looking up old
acquaintances and laying in supplies. Among the acquaintances we found
good old Father Prin who had been retired from active duty on Vao and
had come to Vila to spend his declining days. He was glad to see us, but
shook his head when he heard that we were again going to try our luck
among the Big Numbers.
âBig Numbers plenty bad,â he warned us in _bÃache-de-mer_. And Osa and I
replied in the same tongue, âMe no fright.â
I bought nearly a thousand dollarsâ worth of food and trade-stuffs from
the four trading stores of Vila, but could not get a schooner or any
native boys to take us on our trip around Malekula. So I decided to go
on to the island of Espiritu Santo, two hundred miles to the north. We
stopped at Api, to leave mail and supplies and to take on copra. In the
harbor there, we again saw the old Snark at anchor. It was a black and
shabby ship, manned by a black crew and used for recruiting labor for
work in the white manâs sugar and copra plantations.
We found Segond Channel, off Southeastern Santo, filled with cutters and
schooners, every one of which had white men aboard, who had been waiting
a couple of weeks for the news and supplies brought by the Pacifique. In
no time at all, I made arrangements for three schooners with big crews
to accompany me on my visit to the tribe of the Big Numbers. Mr. Thomas,
of Hog Harbor, promised he would send his boat to Vao in a week with as
many boys as he could spare. Mr. Perrole, an experienced French
recruiter, also agreed to charter a schooner and bring boys. We obtained
a third schooner from a young Frenchman, Paul Mazouyer, one of the most
picturesque dare-devils I have ever met. A giant in size and strength,
boiling with energy, always singing, sometimes dancing with his boys, he
did not understand the meaning of fear. He was a match for three white
men, and he took chances on the beach that no other recruiter would
dream of taking. I asked him once in _bÃache-de-mer_âthe only language in
which we could converseâif the savages did not sometimes make him a
little anxious.
âAh,â he said, shifting his huge frame and stretching his arms, âmy
word! Suppose fifty men he come, me no fright!â
I believed him. He was a two-fisted adventurer of the old type, with the
courage of unbeaten youth. He knew, as every white man in the New
Hebrides knows, that he might expect short shrift once the natives got
him in their power, but he trusted to fate and took reckless chances.
The captain of the Pacifique agreed to take us to Vao, although it was
fifty miles off his course. We dropped anchor off the island just at
daylight and were surrounded almost immediately by canoes filled with
naked savages. The Pacifique was a marvel to the natives. She was one of
the smallest steamers I had ever been aboard, but they had never in all
their lives seen so large a vessel. The imposing size of the ship and
the impressive quantity of my baggageâsixty-five trunks, crates and
boxesâgave me a great deal of importance in their eyes. As we stood on
the beach watching the unloading of the shipâs boat, they crowded about,
regarding us with furtive curiosity. From time to time they opened their
huge, slobbering mouths in loud guffaws, though there was apparently no
cause for laughter.
When my things were all unloaded, the captain and officers shook hands
with us and put off for the ship. In twenty minutes the Pacifique was
steaming away. Before she gained speed, a big American flag was hoisted
between the masts, and the engineer tooted encouragement to us. As she
grew small in the distance, the flag at the stern of the vessel was
dipped three times. We sat on the beach among our boxes and watched her
until she was just a cloud of smoke on the horizon. We felt very lonely
and very much shut off from our kind there, surrounded by a crowd of
jabbering, naked savages, who stared at us with all the curiosity shown
by people back home toward the wild man in a sideshow.
With a show of cheerfulness, we set about making ourselves comfortable
for the weeks to come. The huts of the seventeen converts were deserted,
and rapidly going to pieces: the former occupants had forsaken You may be asking yourself why to spend extra bucks on a laptop than opt for desktop systems as it used primarily to do routine tasks but now there're plenty reasons wherein some doctors, professional musicians like pianisets, design housesthe
lonely clearing for the crowded villages. But the little stone house in
which Father Prin had lived was still standing, though one corner of the
roof had fallen in. A proffer of tobacco secured me many willing black
hands to repair the roof and thatch it with palm leaves. Other natives
brought up our trunks and boxes. They cut big poles and lashed the boxes
to them with vines, and, ten to twenty natives to a box, they carried
the luggage from the beach in no time. By noon we had everything stored
away safe from the weather. We spent the afternoon in unpacking the
things needed for immediate use, and soon Osa and I had our little
three-room dwelling shipshape.
We had learned a lesson from our first trip, with the result that, on
this second expedition, we had brought with us every possible comfort
and even some luxuriesâfrom air-cushions and mattresses to hams, bacons,
and cheeses specially prepared for us in Sydney. With a clear-flamed
Primus stove and Osa to operate it, we were fairly certain of good food.
Having promulgated the law of the New Hebrides and Solomons, that every
native coming upon the clearing must leave his gun behind him and cover
his nakedness with calico, we settled down for a long stay.
Vao is a very small island, no more than two miles in diameter, lying
several miles off the northeast shore of Malekula. It is rimmed on the
Malekula side by a broad, beautiful beach. Three small villages are
hidden in the low, scrub jungle, but the only signs of habitation are
three canoe houses that jut out from the fringe of bushes and hundreds
of canoes drawn up in a careful line upon the beach.
About four hundred savages live in the three villages of Vao. Their
hutsâmere shelters, not high | [

Mr David Fletcher, compeering personallie, declaired that he was
penitent and greeved in soule for these two errors, in reading the
Service Booke, and declyning of the Assemblie; and, therefore, in all
humilitie, desired to be receaved in favour with the Assemblie, and
declaired to be capable and worthie of the Ministrie, and submitted
his life and conversion to the censure of the Ministrie of EdinÊ3,
who declaired that his life and doctrine was both unblameable. The
Assemblie found it expedient that he should be restoired to the
Ministrie, and to a particular flocke, as he gets ane orderlie calling.
A Supplication of the province of Aberdeine upon the cruell oppression
and persecution of the enemies of this Church and Kingdome, daylie

themselves, and not to come to their flockes, recommended most humbly
and earnestlie to the Parliament.
Mr John Lindsey at Carstaires, compeering personallie, presented a
Supplication to the Assemblie, acknowledging his forward following
the course of conformitie, craved pardon of the Assemblie, and sought
re-entrie to the Ministrie, in respect it was the humble petition of
his parochiners to have him restoired to them againe, and promised
obedience to the Constitutions of the Assembly. The brethren of his
Presbytrie testified that he was a violent prosecutor of the course of
conformitie, and urging his people thereto; that he was contumacious,
disobedient to his Presbytrie, railer against his brethren, and hes
declyned their judgment and the Assembly both; that he would not come
to the Synod where he was cited, alleadging his want of health and
strength, but anon, thereafter, found health and strength to goe into
the English army.
After much agitation to and fro, the Commissioners Grace pleading
for him, and his owne brethren testifying against him, the Assembly
ordained these persones following, to conferre and try the soundnes

Somervell, Richard Inglis, George Young, Mathow Brisbane, Andro Ramsay,
Robert Douglas, Hary Rollock, Andro Cant.
Mr James Hamilton, who hes beene these 52 yeares actuall Minister,
being deposed for declyning of the Assemblie; upon his humble
Supplication and Confession, declaired capable of the Ministrie.
Mr John Hamilton of Dalserff, his Supplication delayed till the morne.
Mr Wáμ Ogstounes referred to the Commission that was to be appointed.
The Commissioners Grace presented a paper in name of Mr Robert
Hamiltoun of Lesmahagow, wherein there was not the least word of his
repentance or submission, but rather a maintaining of his errours,
especiallie Arminianisme, and in substance a declyning of this
Assemblie.
The Moderatour desired Mr John Adamsone, Mr James Bonar, Mr John Row,
Mr Andro Cant, to give their judgement of this man. They all in ane
voice declaired he was worthie of excomunication in this Assemblie;
nevertheless, the Assemblie, to show their moderation and willingness
to gaine the man from his errours, did appoynt Mr Samuell Rutherford
and Mr Robert Baillie to conferre with him and report against the morne.
Upon occasion of the erroneous doctrine defended by these Ministers,
there was a motion made by Mr AlexÊ3 Hendersone, That it was expedient
that there were a positive confession drawen up, and these errours
related therein and expresslie condemned by the Church, and the
doctrine of the Church of Scotland cleared, that none heirafter pretend
ignorance of them, and that this grave worke were recommended to such

one after the other their chieftains were vanquished, and the foe
definitely took up a position on the south-east coast, where he founded
the cities of Strangford, Carlingford, and Wexford.
Not content with reducing the Irish to bondage, the victors took a
cunning and savage delight in humiliating and degrading them, lodging
garnisaries under their roofs, interdicting, under pain of death, the
exercise of all liberal arts as well as the carrying of arms, destroying
schools, burning books to take possession of the gold boxes that
protected their precious binding.
Every ten or twelve years a liberator sprang up in the West or North,
and tried to shake off the abhorred yoke. But the rebellion only made
it weigh more heavily on the neck of the vanquished; and if it happened
that a Brian Boru succeeded, after incredible efforts and heroism, in
gathering troops numerous enough to inflict on the stranger a bloody
defeat, such a day of glory was invariably followed by the most sinister
morrow.
After two centuries of slavery, interrupted by massacres, vain struggles,
and impotent efforts, Ireland, once so prosperous, gradually sank in the
darkest state of barbarism. The intestine dissensions and the rivalries
between clans achieved the work of the Northern Conquerors. In the year
1172 she was ripe for new masters, also of Scandinavian race, who were
ready to swoop on her with their Anglo-Saxon bands, after passing, to
come to her, through the duchy of Normandy and through Great Britain.
Henry the Second of Anjou, King of England, was resolved to add Ireland
to his possessions. All he wanted was a pretext. He found it in the state
of practical schism and independence into which the insular Church
had fallen. The members of its clergy no longer recognized the Roman
discipline, did not observe Lent, and married like those of the Greek
rite. Henry the Second solicited and obtained from Pope Adrian II. a bull
authorizing him to invade the sister isle, in order to “re-establish
therein the rule of the Holy See, stop the progress of vice, bring back
respect for law and religion, and secure the payment of St. Peter’s
pence.” But in spite of this formal authorization he was too much
occupied with Aquitaine to be able to entertain seriously the idea of
undertaking the conquest of Ireland, when one of his vassals, Strongbow,
cut the knot by landing on the island at the head of a Welsh army, to
carve himself a kingdom on the south-east coast.
The way was open; Henry II. threw himself in it in his turn, and
established himself in the east of The best time to start a job search in Australia is after November when job listings pick up. Over the month employers generally have their last big push.

Limited at first to a territory enclosed within palisades, or _Pale_,
which, dur ing more than four centuries, enlarged or got narrowed,
according to the fortune of war and the relative strength of the
belligerent parties, the English rule was destined at last to spread
over the whole of the island. But, of this seven-century struggle, the
last word is not yet said. The wound is ever bleeding. Ireland has
never accepted her defeat; she refuses to accept as valid a marriage
consummated by a rape. Always she protested, either by direct rebellion,
when she found the opportunity for it, as in 1640, in 1798, and in
1848; either by the voice of her poets and orators, by the nocturnal
raids of her _Whiteboys_ and _Ribbonmen_, by the plots of her Fenians,
by the votes of her electors, by parliamentary obstruction, by passive
resistance, by political or commercial interdict—opposed to the intruder;
in a word, by all the means, legal or illegal, that offered to interrupt
prescription.
A striking, and, one may say, a unique example in history: after seven
centuries of sustained effort on the part of the victor to achieve his
conquest, this conquest is less advanced than on the morrow of Henry the
Second’s landing at Waterford. An abyss still severs the two races, and
time, instead of filling up that abyss, only seems to widen it. This
phenomenon is of such exceptional and tragic interest; it beats with
such crude light on the special physiology of two races and the general
physiology of humanity, that one needs must stop first and try to unravel
its tangible causes if one be desirous of comprehending what is taking
place in the land of Erin.
CHAPTER VI.
HISTORICAL GRIEVANCES.
The English, it must be admitted, are no amiable masters. Never, in any
quarter of the globe, were they able to command the goodwill of the
nations submitted to their rule, nor did they fascinate them by those
brilliant qualities that often go a long way towards forgiveness of
possible injuries. “Take yourself off there, that I may take your place,”
seems always to have been the last word of their policy. Pure and simple
extermination of autochthon races; such is their surest way to supremacy.
One has seen it successively in America, on the Australian continent, in
Tasmania, in New Zealand, where the native tribes hardly exist now more
than as a memory. On the other hand, if the vanquished races were too
numerous or too sturdy and prolific to be easily suppressed, as in India
or Ireland, reconciliation never took place; conquest ever remained a
doubtful and precarious fact.
In Ireland, the question was made more complex by two elements
that visibly took a predominant part in the relations between the
conquerors and the conquered. In the first place, the island of Erin,
having remained outside the pale of the Roman world and of barbaric
invasions, possessed an indigenous and original civilization that made
her peculiarly refractory to the establishment of the feudal system.
Secondly, her very remoteness and her insular character inclined the
immigrants to establish themselves there regretfully, to consider her
always as a colony and a place of exile, where they only resided against
their will. For the first four hundred years of their occupation they
confined themselves to the eastern coast within the inclosed territory
(varying with the fortune of war) that they called the _Pale_ or
palisade, and outside which the Irish preserved their manners, their
laws, and their own customs.
In spite of this barrier, it happened in the course of time that the
English colonists got pervaded by those customs and felt their contagion.
At once the British Parliament had recourse to drastic laws in order to
open a new abyss between the two races, and keep the mastery they had
over the Irish. Such is the special object of an edict of Edward III.,
known under the name of _Edict of Kilkenny_, and by which it is reputed
high treason for any Englishman established in Ireland to have married
an Irish-woman, to have legitimised an Irish child, or have held him in
baptism, to have taken an Irish Christian name, to have worn the Irish
dress, to have spoken the Erse tongue, to have let his moustache grow,
or to have ridden saddleless, as was the Irish fashion; above all, to
have submitted to the Brehon Code. Those divers crimes were punished by
confiscation of property, and perpetual imprisonment of the offender.
* * * * *
Such laws were a powerful obstacle to fusion, raised by the intruder
himself. One sees at once the difference between, for instance, such a
system and that established by the Norman invasion in Great Britain.

DIVISIONAL COMMITTEE ON EVALUATION OF ADMINISTRATORS
This committee carries out the divisional evaluation of administrators in accordance with the Miami University Policy and Information Manual (MUPIM). The membership of the committee shall consist of one member elected annually from each department. The committee operates using the principle that the committee member representing the department whose chair is being evaluated is excused from the entire evaluation process. The chair of the committee is appointed by the dean in accordance with the above principle, and may, therefore, vary during the academic year depending on the administrator being evaluated.
The committee will seek evaluations from faculty represented by the administrative unit and will prepare an evaluation report to be submitted to the dean. The committee chair is responsible for distributing evaluation materials to the faculty and distributing the results of the evaluations to the committee members.
The committee shall process the results of the evaluations to generate (1) quantitative data and (2) a summary of comments. The quantitative data and the summary of comments shall be derived from the raw data in such a way that the identities of the participants shall be hidden completely. The raw data and the committee's summary evaluation and compilations of quantitative data and comments shall be sent to the dean by December 1. In accordance with the Miami University Policy and Information Manual (MUPIM), the committee shall share the generated quantitative data and summary of comments with the faculty in the relevant department for third-year reviews and for fifth-year reviews if the administrator is to be reappointed. This shall be done after the dean has shared the summary and compilations of quantitative data with the chair being evaluated and within three weeks after the start of the spring semester.
The council facilitates coordination, communication, and consistent policies among CEC graduate programs and advises the Director of CEC Graduate Programs on matters pertaining to graduate programs. The chair of the council is the Director of CEC Graduate Programs. Membership includes the graduate directors of each CEC graduate program, and one ex-officio student member from the CEC Graduate Student council. Meetings are scheduled as needed by the chair of the council.
COORDINATION COMMITTEES BETWEEN OXFORD AND REGIONAL DIVISIONS
At the discretion of the dean and/or departmental chairs and in consultation with the regional campus dean, coordination committees between related departments on the Oxford and regional campuses may be formed to ensure that the mission of each division is efficaciously and synergistically realized. The dean and/or department chairs will form the committees as necessary and select appropriate members from the relevant departments. Faculty members at any rank, including the dean and departmental chairs, are eligible to serve on these committees. The dean and/or departmental chairs may serve as chair on these committees, may appoint another faculty member from either campus to act as chair or may appoint a faculty member from each campus to act as co-chairs.
These committees will be created to address specific issues that do not require resolution on an ongoing basis. These issues may be identified by the dean, faculty groups, department chairs, student advisory groups, CEC advisory council, or the executive council. Members and chairs of these committees will be appointed by the dean from appropriate departments based upon recommendations from the department chairs. These committees will operate until the specific issue has been resolved or the committee has been disbanded by the dean. A premise for forming an ad hoc committee is that the issue can be resolved in a finite period of time; otherwise the issue should be given to a standing committee or subcommittee.
AMENDMENT OF GOVERNANCE DOCUMENT
The main body of the divisional governance document will be formally reviewed every two years by the Faculty Advisory Council.

Since then, many more civilians have lost their lives, because those responsible didn't listen and didn't care enough. And, today, just another tragedy underlined the necessity to reconsider current strategies: "An airstrike by United States-led forces killed 40 civilians and wounded 28 others at a wedding party in Kandahar Province in southern Afghanistan, Afghan officials said Wednesday. The casualties included women and children, the officials said".
I am not a pacifist. And I am not naive. I know that there never was or will be a war without civilian casualties. But I don't see that we care enough about minimizing them.
40 people were just killed by bombs dropped from U.S. planes! Why is there no outcry? Why isn't it on top of the agenda? Why aren't our politicians flying to Afghanistan to voice their concerns and regrets? Why don't our flags fly on half mast? Why don't we ever stand in silence for just a minute to remember the people who were accidentally killed in our wars?
People in the West need to show their compassion for the people they are trying to help. If we don't win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people, we will never win the war against the Taliban or Al Qaida. And this should not even be the No.1 reason why we have to try even harder!
From Rosa Parks to Barack Obama
November 5, 2008 in Making Oppression History, The History of Liberal Democracy, The Struggle for Liberal Democracy, The West | 3 comments
Three years ago, Barack Obama spoke at the funeral of a woman that we should honor as an American founding mother. He said: "When the history of this country is written, when the final accounting is done, it is this small, quiet woman, whose name will be remembered, long after the names of senators and presidents have been forgotten...". And he acknowledged: "I would not be here today, were it not for this small woman".
In December 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to make room for a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. This singular act of courage sparked the modern Civil Rights Movement, which brought ans could be federated for
purposes offensive and defensive, and until these great and radical
changes could be brought about there would be no great difficulty in
devising âliving terms,â for immediately upon the Declaration of
Dissolution, each State would become repossessed of the sovereign powers
which it had delegated to the Federal Government.
Meanwhile the âFateful year â99â went onward toward its close. The whole
land seemed stricken with paralysis, so far as the various industries
were concerned, but, as it is wont to be in such times, menâs minds were
supernaturally active. The days were \bibdate{\endnotes{}Pro\-cess, Problm } {\it Founda-

prints, or in passing in review the weighty events of the hour. The
North was only waiting for an opportunity to act.
But the question that perplexed the wisest heads was: How and when shall
the Declaration of Dissolution be made, and how soon thereafter shall
the North and the States in sympathy with her withdraw from the Union,
and declare to the world their intention to set up a republic of their
own, with the mighty metropolis of New York as its social, political and
commercial centre and capital?
As it came to pass, the North had not long to wait. The Fifty-sixth
Congress soon to convene in regular session in the city of Washington,
was even more Populistic and Socialistic than its famous predecessor,
which had wrought such wonderful changes in the law of the land, showing
no respect for precedent, no reverence for the old order of things.
Hence all eyes were fixed upon the capital of the nation, all roads were
untrodden, save those which led to Washington.

was a weak and luxurious prince, without either assiduity or energy.
Shut up with his favorites and pet dogs in the inmost apartments of
the palace, he forgot his kingdom with its disturbances and miseries;
and when remorse at his sinful life, which was passed in lust and
debauchery, seized upon him, he sought consolation in superstitious
devotion, in pilgrimages and processions, and in penance and
flagellations. To bring the Huguenots to peace, so that he might be
able to devote himself to the undisturbed enjoyment of the pleasures
of his capital, Henry, immediately upon his accession, granted them
freedom of conscience, and equal civil rights with the Catholics.
Enraged at these concessions, which destroyed all the fruits of their
previous exertions, the zealous Catholics, under the guidance of Henry
of Guise, and with the cognizance of Philip II of Spain, concluded the
Holy League for the preservation of the Church in all its ancient
rights. Many members were won to this alliance by the insinuations of
the priests and monks, and by the intrigues of the Jesuits. The fickle
and faithless king, disturbed by this movement, united himself with
the Catholic zealots, declared himself the head of the League, and
curtailed the religious peace. The duke of Anjou, Henryâs younger
brother, died a few years after this; and as he, like the king, was
without children, the Bourbon, Henry of Navarre (Bearn), became the
nearest heir to the throne. This prospect of a Protestant king alarmed
the Catholic part of France, and gave fresh vigor to the League. The
weak king was obliged to recall all treaties with the Huguenots, to
announce the extirpation of heresy, and to approve the arrangements of
the League. Henry of Guise, at first, only entertained the notion of
putting aside the Protestant successor to the throne, who had been
excommunicated by the pope; but his courage rose with his increasing
power; he soon made attempts upon the crown himself, whilst, as a
pretended descendant of the Carlovingi, he asserted the superiority of
his claims to those of the reigning family. A conspiracy was formed in
Paris (where the citizens were kept in a state of perpetual agitation
by fanatical popular orators) against the freedom or life of the king;
and when Henry III attempted to defend himself by calling in Swiss
troops, the agitation burst into rebellion. The people assembled
themselves around the Guises, who, against the kingâs commands, were
entering the capital, barricaded the streets and bridges, and
commenced a furious contest with single divisions of the troops. The
trembling king fled with his favorites to Chartres, and left his
capital in the hands of his rival. Henry of Guise now possessed the
same power that had belonged to the mayors of the palace in the time
of the Merovingi. But even this position did not satisfy the ambitious
party leader. An assembly of Estates, convoked at Blois, where the
adherents of the Guises were the strongest party, proposed not only to
deprive the Bourbons of their right to the throne and to exterminate
Calvinism, but to change the government, and to place the whole power
in the hands of the Guises. At this crisis, Henry hazarded a bold
stroke; he had the duke of Guise and his brother, the Cardinal Louis,
assassinated, and imprisoned the most influential leaders of their
party. This proceeding produced a fearful commotion in the whole
nation: in Paris, allegiance was renounced to the God-forsaken king,
who had overthrown the pillar of Catholicism; the pope fulminated an
excommunication at him; revolutionary movements took place in many
quarters. Despised and forsaken, Henry III saw no other way to safety
open to him than an alliance with Henry of Navarre and the Huguenots.
A frightful civil war burst out afresh, but fortune was hostile to the
League. Henry had already laid siege to Paris, and threatened to
reduce the faithless town to a heap of ruins, when the knife of a
fanatical monk put an end to his life. Henry III the last Valois, died
on the first of August, 1589, after appointing Henry of Navarre and
Bearn his successor.
Henry IV had still a long struggle to sustain before his head was
ornamented by the crown of France. Mayenne, the brother of the
murdered Guise, placed himself at the head of the League, and offered
a vehement resistance to the Calvinistic claimant of the throne.
Philip II sought to turn the confusion to his own advantage, and
commanded his able general, Alexander of Parma, to march his forces
from the Netherlands into France. Henry tried for a long time to get
possession of his inheritance by the sword: he laid siege to Paris,
and caused the citizens to feel all the horrors of famine; but he at
length became convinced that he never could gain peaceable possession
of the French throne by battles and victories. He thought the crown of
France was worth a mass, and went over to the Catholic Church in the
cathedral of St. Denis, and by this means destroyed the power of the
League. Paris now threw open its gates, and welcomed the bringer of
peace with acclamations. The pope recalled the anathema; the heads of
the League concluded a treaty with him, and Philip II, a short time
before his death, consented to the peace of Vervins. After foreign and
domestic tranquillity had been thus restored to France, the king, by
the Edict of Nantes, conferred upon the Calvinists liberty of
conscience, the full rights of citizenship, and many other privileges;
such as separate chambers in the courts of justice, several castles,
with all their warlike munitions (La Rochelle, Montauban, Nismes, &c.)
and freedom from episcopal jurisdiction. He next sought to heal the
wounds that had been inflicted on the land by the war, by encouraging
agriculture, trade and commerce; and had the economy of the state and
the taxation admirably arranged by his friend and minister, Sully. He
won for himself the warmest affections of his people by his genuine
French character, and by his cordial and cheerful disposition. His
solitary failing, his too great love for woman, was a merit in the
eyes of the French. But fanaticism was only slumbering. Henryâs
tolerant disposition towards heretics awakened it. As he was
meditating the vast plan (with the approval of the Dutch Union and
other European powers) of founding a Christian community with equal
privileges for the three Confessions, and by this means destroying the
supremacy of the royal house of Hapsburg, he fell beneath the knife of
Ravaillac.
THE AGE OF LOUIS XIVââRICHELIEU AND MAZARIN.
The first part of the reign of the weak Louis XIII, who only numbered
nine years at the time of his fatherâs murder, was full of mischief
for France. During the time the queen-mother, Mary of Medicis,
conducted the government, Italian favorites exerted a great influence
upon affairs, enriched themselves at the expense of the French, and
irritated the pride of the nation by their insolence. Enraged at this,
the nobility took up arms, and filled the country with rebellion and
the tumult of war. When at length Louis XIII himself, upon coming of
age, assumed the government, he indeed consented that the foreign
favorites should be removed by murder and execution, and banished his
mother from the court; but the people gained little by it. The new
favorites in whom the king, who possessed no self-reliance, reposed
his confidence, were not distinguished from the former either by
virtue or talents; for this reason, both the nobles of the kingdom and
the Huguenots, who felt themselves injured in their rights, again rose
against the government, and threw the land into fresh confusion. This
melancholy condition of affairs was only put an end to when Cardinal
Richelieu was admitted into the state council, and introduced a
complete change of system, (A. D. 1624.)
This great statesman maintained an almost absolute sway in the court
and in the kingdom for nearly eighteen years, though the king never
loved him, the queen and the nobility were constantly attempting his
overthrow, and a succession of cabals and conspiracies were plotted
against him. The greatness of his mind triumphed over all obstacles.
Richelieuâs efforts were directed towards the extension and rounding
of the French territory without, and the increasing and strengthening | [

I registered at Columbia University as a special student. This meant
that I was free to take any courses I preferred. As at the City College,
I speedily found that some of the teachers were tiresome, and that the
rules allowed me to drop their courses and begin others without extra
charge. Upon my declaring my intention to take a master’s degree, all
the tuition fees I paid were lumped together until they totaled a
hundred and fifty dollars, after which I had to pay no more. Until I had
completed one major and two minors, I was at liberty to go on taking
courses and dropping them with no extra expense.
The completing of a course consisted of taking an examination, and as
that was the last thing in the world I ever wanted to do, I

it; instead, I would flee to the country, and come back the next fall
and start a new set of courses. Then I would get the professors’ points
of view and the list of books to be read--and that was all there was to
the course. Four years in succession I did this, and figured that I had
sampled more than forty courses; but no one ever objected to my singular
procedure. The great university was run on the assumption that the
countless thousands of young men and women came there to get degrees.
That anyone might come merely to get knowledge had apparently not
occurred to the governing authorities.
In the first year I remember Professor George Rice Carpenter setting out
to teach me to write English. It was the customary process of writing
“themes” upon

been that I have to be emotionally interested before I can write at all.
When I went to the professor to tell him that

getting anything out of the course, his feelings were hurt, and he said,
“I can assure you that you don’t know anything about writing English.” I
answered that this was no doubt true, but the question was, could I
learn by his method. Four or five years later, as a reader for
Macmillan, Professor Carpenter got hold of some of my manuscripts; I
paid several visits to his home, and he was so gracious as to ask how I
thought the writing of English might be taught in colleges. My formula
was simple--find something the student is interested in. But Carpenter
said that was no solution--it would limit the themes to football and
fraternities.
Professor W. P. Trent, a famous scholar, undertook to teach me about
poetry, and this effort ended in an odd way. Something came up in the
class about grammatical errors in literature, and the professor referred
to Byron’s famous line, “There let him lay.” Said the professor: “I have
the impression that there is a similar error in Shelley, and some day I
am going to run through his poetry and find it.” To my fastidious young
soul that seemed _lèse-majesté_; I pictured a man reading Shelley in
such a mood, and I dropped the course.

Since we are dealing with the phenomena of genius, I will tell about the
one authentic man of genius I met at Columbia. Edward
[IMPORTANT PLEASE]:

head of the department of music, and he was struggling valiantly to
create a vital music center in America; he was against heavy odds of
philistinism, embodied in the banker trustees of the great university.
MacDowell gave two courses in general musical culture. These I took in
successive years, and they were not among the courses I dropped. The
composer was a man of wide culture and full of a salty humor, a
delightful teacher. There were fewer than a dozen students taking the
course--such was the amount of interest in genius at Columbia.
Early in the course I noted that MacDowell suffered in his efforts to
say in words something that could only be said in music, and I suggested
to him that instead of trying to describe musical ideas,
[IMPORTANT PLEASE]:
The new site can noot handle an image with alpha in .he should play
them for us. This suggestion he at once accepted, and thereafter the
course consisted in a piano rendition of the great music of the world,
with incidental running comments. MacDowell was a first-rate concert
pianist, and truly noble were the sounds that rumbled from that large
piano in the small classroom.
Since I was going in for the genius business myself, I was interested in
every smallest detail of this great man’s behavior and appearance. Here
was one who shared my secret of ecstasy; and this set him apart from all
the other teachers, the dull plodding ones who dealt with the bones and
dust of inspirations. Almost thirty years afterward I wrote about him in
an article published in the _American Mercury_ (January 1928), and so
vivid were my recollections I was able to quote what I felt certain were
the exact words of MacDowell’s comments on this and that item of music
and literature. Shortly afterward I met the composer’s widow, who told
me that she recognized many of the phrases, and that all of them sounded
authentic to her.
Here was a man who had the true fire and glory, yet at the same time was
perfectly controlled; it was only now and then, when some bit of
philistinism roused his anger, that I saw the sparks fly. He found it
possible to display a gracious
[IMPORTANT PLEASE]:
The new site can noot handle an image with alpha in .courtesy; in fact, he might have been
that little boy in my nursery poem, “who would not even sneeze unless he
asked you if he might.” I remember that he apologized to the young
ladies of the class for telling a story that involved the mention of a
monkey; this surprised me, for I thought my very proper mother had
warned me against all possible social improprieties. Some of his pupils
had sent the composer flowers on his birthday and put in a card with the
inscription from _Das Rheingold_: “_O, singe fort, so suess und fein_”;
a very charming thing to say to a musician. MacDowell’s story was that
on opening the box he had started to read the inscription as French
instead of as German, and had found himself hailed: “O, powerful
monkey!”
V
Shortly after I left Columbia, MacDowell left on account of
disagreements with Nicholas Murray Butler, the newly elected president
of the great university. I had taken a course in Kantian philosophy with
Butler and had come to know him well; an aggressive and
[IMPORTANT PLEASE]:
The new site can noot handle an image with alpha in .capable mind, a
cold and self-centered heart. In his class I had expressed my surprise
that Kant, after demonstrating the impossibility of metaphysical
knowledge, should have turned around and swallowed the system of
Prussian church orthodoxy at one gulp. I asked the professor whether
this might be accounted for by the fact that the founder of modern
critical philosophy had had a job at a Prussian
[IMPORTANT PLEASE]:
The new site can noot handle an image with alpha in .state university. I do
not remember Butler’s reply to this, but you may be sure I thought of it
when Butler declared himself a member of the Episcopal Church--this
being a required preliminary to becoming president of Columbia. I am
prepared to testify before the Throne of Grace--if the fact has not
already been noted by the recording angel--that Butler in his course on
Kant made perfectly plain that he believed no shred of Christian dogma.

from his observations to this point, the Oligarch culture seemed not
to have changed its basic pattern. Evolution had merely moved that
pattern forward a hundred years, solidified its static essence. Cold
efficiency, egomania, class superiority--the system supported by
scientific method and a fanatical, one-track dogma based on paranoia.
He had fought this force a long time. He thought he understood it.

"Danton West," he said. He remembered the line-officer's words, a quick
frame of reference. "Captain. Second “Gracious in God’s presence”, The Ps. A New Psalm Project,

That was logical enough. Except--
They hadn't aged at all. There had been no sign of change.
That soldier back there had said, "... _They're supposed to live
forever. They never grow old._"
"That is impossible, of course," the woman Rhone said. "Now--explain
your uniform. It is unorthodox. In fact it is a duplication of the
uniforms worn by officers of a certain army of another time and place
of which you should know nothing. Can you explain this?"
"I can and will. We do know about those certain armies in another time
and place. A hundred years ago. Earth. You think we have forgotten?"
* * * * *
Silence. The woman's eyes widened, only slightly, though a tremendous
inner emotional surge was obvious. One of the men leaned forward.
Danton was relieved. He felt a bit more secure, seeing even this slight
degree of individuality and emotion. There was the psychological
effect, he knew, of feeling a subtle lessening of the unification of
forces against him.
They hadn't aged, he thought. The same ones, without grayness, without
wrinkles, without any sign of physical degeneration.

telling you this much because nothing you can do can stop it. It's
developed too far. Revolt. Did you think it would ever be stamped out?"
Beneath the masks, Danton could see concern, incredulous concern.
Maybe they had thought they had set up an impervious regime. And maybe
they actually had. But there was doubt here. Just enough of a doubt to
play upon. One thing he knew, and that was that there was resentment
out there beyond the Walls, whatever the Walls were, and those songs,
hopeless as they were, had been songs of revolt against oppression. The
germ was out there....

myths. I came in to find out for myself."

Danton shrugged. "I don't care one way or the other. I had hoped to

4,092 | 67,539 | 8 | âI wish you and the Lady Tilly to come with me to the castle,â remarked
Sir Dinadan. âMy father will welcome you heartily if you can medicine
the sickness of my mother; and she will be eager to receive your fair
daughter.â
âI will go, of course,â replied the Professor; âyou are very kind.
Tilly, we had better accept, I think?â
Miss Baffin was willing to leave the matter wholly in the hands of her
father.
After requesting Sir Dinadan to have his luggage brought up from the
beach, the Professor bade adieu to the Hermit, and then turning to Sir
Bleoberis, who stood with a disconsolate air by the fire, he said:
âI will see you again about your affair; and meantime you may depend
upon my using my influence with the Baron to remove his prejudices.
I will dance at your wedding yet; that is, figuratively speaking, of
course; for, as a precise matter of fact, I do not know how to dance.â
As the Professor and Sir Dinadan and Miss Baffin left the cell, Sir
Agravaine approached the lady and whispered:
âDid I understand you to say you donât love me?â Miss Baffin twitched
the skirt of her gown to one side in a scornful way, and passed on
without replying.
âWomen,â sighed Sir Agravaine, as he looked mournfully after her, âare
_so_ incomprehensible. I wish I knew what she meant.â
CHAPTER II.
THE CASTLE OF BARON BORS.
As Sir Dinadan led the Professor and Miss Baffin along the lovely path
which went winding through the woods toward the castle, the Professor
lighted another cigar, and in response to Sir Dinadan, he entered upon
an explanation of the nature of tobacco, the methods and extent of its
use, and its effect upon the human system.
âThe Lady Tilly, of course she smokes sometimes, also?â asked Sir
Dinadan.
âOh, no,â replied Miss Baffin, âladies in my country never do.â
âOf course not,â added the Professor.
âAnd yet, if it is so pleasing and so beneficial as you say,â responded
the youth, âwhy should not ladies attempt it?â
The Professor really could not say; Sir Dinadan was pressing him almost
too closely. He compromised further discussion by yielding promptly,
although with a melancholy reflection that his store of cigars was
small, to a request to teach Sir Dinadan, at the earliest opportunity,
to smoke.
As they neared the castle, the Professorâs attention was absorbed
in observing the details of the structure. It was a massive edifice
of stone, having severe outlines and no ornamentation worthy of the
name, but presenting, from the very grandeur of its proportions, an
impressive and not unpleasing appearance. It was surrounded by a wide
fosse filled with water; and the Professor was delighted to observe, as
they drew near, that the entrance was protected with a portcullis and a
drawbridge. The bridge was drawn up, and the iron portcullis, made of
bars of huge size, was closed.
âMagnificent, isnât it, Tilly?â exclaimed the Professor, gleefully. âIt
is probably the most perfect specimen of early English architecture
now upon earth. Most fortunately I have in my trunks a photographic
apparatus with which to obtain a picture of it.â
Sir Dinadan seized a curved horn which hung upon the branch of a tree,
and blew a blast loud and long upon it.
The Professor regarded the performance with intense interest and not a
little enthusiasm.
The warder of the castle appeared at the grating, and, perceiving Sir
Dinadan, saluted him; then lowering the drawbridge and lifting the
portcullis, which ascended with many hideous creaks and groans from
the rusty iron, Sir Dinadan and his companions entered.
Leaving the Professor and Miss Baffin comfortably seated in a great
hall, the walls of which were adorned with curious tapestries dark with
age, with swords and axes and trophies of the chase, Sir Dinadan went
in search of the Baron.
âLittle did we think, Tilly,â said the Professor, looking around, âwhen
we left New York four weeks ago--it seems more like four years--that we
should find ourselves, within a month, in such a place as this.â
âI can hardly believe it yet,â responded Miss Baffin.
âIt does seem like a dream. And yet we are certainly wide awake, and we
are in the hall of a real castle, waiting for real people to come to
us.â
âSir Dinadan seems very real, too,â said Miss Baffin, timidly.
âVery! There can be no doubt about it.â
âAnd he behaves like a real young man, too,â continued Miss Baffin. âHe
proposed to me this morning.â
âWhat! Proposed to you! Incredible! Why, the boy has not known you more
than an hour or two.â
âHe is a man, pa; not a boy,â said Miss Baffin, a little hurt. âIt
_was_ rather sudden; but, then, genuine affection sometimes manifests
itself in that way.â
The Professor smiled; he perceived the exact situation of things. Then
he looked very serious again. This was a contingency of which he had
not taken account.
âWell, Tilly,â he said, âI hardly know what to say about the matter. It
is so completely unexpected. You didnât accept him?â
âNo; not exactly, but--â
âVery well, then. We will leave the situation as it is for the present.
When we have been here longer we can better determine what we should
do.â
Sir Dinadan entered with the Baron. The Baron greeted his guests with
warmth, making no allusion to the occurrences in the Hermitâs cell, and
appearing, indeed, to have forgotten them.
âIt is enough, sir, and fair damsel, that misfortune has thrown you
upon our shores. You shall make this your home while you live.â
âA thousand thanks,â responded the Professor.
âI cherish the belief that I can be of service to you. By the way, may
I ask how is the noble Lady Bors?â
âSuffering greatly. My son tells me you are a wise leech, and can give
her release from her pain.â
âI hope I can. If you will permit my daughter, here, to see the lady
and to follow my directions, we may be able to help her.â
âThere,â said the Baron, waving his hand, âare your apartments. When
you have made ready we will summon you to our banquet.â
âYour property, which was upon the beach, will be placed before you
very soon,â said Sir Dinadan.
The Professor and Miss Baffin entered the rooms, and the Baron withdrew
with his son.
When the trunks came and were opened, the guests arrayed themselves
in their finest costumes, and Miss Baffin contrived to give to her
beauty a bewildering effect by an artistic arrangement of frippery,
which received its consummation when she placed some lovely artificial
flowers in her hair.
Then the Professor, giving her certain plasters and a soothing drug or
two, requested a servant, who stood outside the door, to announce to
Lady Bors that Miss Baffin was ready to give her treatment.
Sir Dinadan came forward and gallantly escorted Miss Baffin to his
motherâs room; where, after presenting her, he left her and returned to
the Professor.
The young man led the Professor about the castle, showing him its
apartments, its furniture and decorations, with an earnest purpose to
try to find favor in the eyes of the father of the woman he loved.
The Professor, for his part, was charmed with his companion, and his
interest in the castle and its appurtenances increased every moment.
âThis,â said Sir Dinadan, pausing before a large oaken door, barred
with iron, âis the portal to the upper room of the south tower. In this
chamber the Baron has confined Ysolt, my sister, until she consents to
think no more of Sir Bleoberis.â
âLocked her up, has he? That seems hard.â | [

addition to the necessary service-books which were under the care of
the treasurer, some thirty or forty books in the chancellor’s keeping.
Among these we find, besides a number of Psalters, works of the Latin
Fathers, Epistles, Gospels, and a complete Bible in two volumes, the
Canons, Statutes and Decretals of the Popes;--the Decretals edited by
Ivo of Chartres;--the works of Vergil: a copy of the military treatise
of Vegetius, bound up with the Roman History of Eutropius, “which
volume Master Gerard gave in exchange for the Consolations of Boëthius,
which he lost”;--Priscian’s Grammar:--a “Mappa Mundi”: and a _Book of
the Foundation of Lincoln Minster_, with a collection of its charters.
Of nine books presented by Bishop Robert de Chesney, who died in
1166, the most noticeable were the works of Josephus and of Eusebius,
and the _Sentences_ of Peter Lombard. Somewhat later, one Warin of
Hibaldstow presented to the chapter a “book of Aristotle”--doubtless a
Latin version of his treatise on logic or on natural philosophy--and
seven volumes, whose contents are not stated, were given by Master
“Radulphus Niger” or Ralf the Black, known to us as one of the minor
chroniclers of King Henry’s later years. A copy of Gratian’s great book
of Decretals was presented about the same time by an archdeacon of
Leicester; Gerald de Barri, probably during his residence at Lincoln at
the close of Richard’s reign, added another law-book called _Summula
super Decreta_, a copy of S. Anselm’s treatise _Cur Deus Homo_, and
three of his own works, the _Topographia Hiberniæ_, the _Life of Bishop
Remigius_, and the _Gemma Sacerdotalis_ or _Ecclesiastica_; and the
list closes with another copy of the _Sentences_, acquired seemingly in
the early years of the following century.[2225]
[2225] See the Catalogues of Lincoln cathedral library in the
twelfth century, in _Gir. Cambr. Opp._, vol. vii. (Dimock and
Freeman), App. C., pp. 165–171.
The head of the scholastic body was the chancellor, who was an officer
of the diocesan bishop--in the case of Oxford, the bishop of Lincoln.
From him those who had reached a certain degree of proficiency in the
schools received their license to become teachers in their turn; and it
was an established rule that all who had attained the rank of Master
or Doctor should devote themselves for a certain time to the work of
instructing others. They gave their lectures how and where they could,
in cloister or church-porch, or in their own wretched lodgings, their
pupils sitting literally at their feet, huddled all together on the
bare ground; their living depended solely on their school-fees, and
these were often received with one hand only to be paid away again with
the other, for many an ardent young teacher of logic or rhetoric was,
like John of Salisbury and Gerald de Barri, at one and the same time
giving lectures in these arts to less advanced scholars and pursuing
his own studies under some great doctor of theology. The course of
study was much the same everywhere. From the fifth century downwards
it had consisted of two divisions, _trivium_ and _quadrivium_. Under
the former head were comprised Grammar, defined by an early teacher
as the art of “writing and reading learnedly, understanding and
judging skilfully;”[2226] Dialectics, including logic and metaphysics;
and Rhetoric, by which were meant the rules and figures of the art,
chiefly derived from Cicero. The Quadrivium included Geometry, not so
much the science now known by that name as what we call geography;
Arithmetic, which in the middle ages meant the science of mystical
numbers; Music, in other words metre and harmony; and Astronomy, of
course on the Ptolemaic system, although as early as the fifth century
a theory had been put forth which is said to have given in after-days
the clue to Copernicus.[2227] There was a separate faculty of Theology,
and another of Law. Between these different faculties there seems to
have been a good deal of jealousy. The highest authorities of the
Western Church, while encouraging by every means in their power the
study of the canon law, set their faces steadily against the civil law
of imperial Rome; the “religious” were over and over again forbidden
to have anything to do with it: and on the continent the two branches
of the legal profession were followed by different persons. As,
however, the procedure of the canon law was founded upon that of the
Theodosian code, the English clerical lawyers in Stephen’s time and in
Henry’s early years found their account in combining the two studies;
by degrees both together passed out of the hands of the clergy into
those of a new class of lay lawyers; and in later days, while on the
continent the canon law fell into neglect with its exclusively clerical
professors, in England it was preserved by being linked with the civil
law under the care of lay _doctores utriusque juris_.[2228]

[2228] _Ib._ pp. 37–39.
Theology had, however, a yet more formidable rival in the schools
of logic. The text-book commonly used in these schools was a Latin
translation, made by Boëthius in the sixth century, of part of
Aristotle’s treatise upon logic. Early in the twelfth century the
natural philosophy of Aristotle was in some measure rendered accessible
to western students through translations made by travelled scholars
such as Adelard of Bath from Arabic versions which they had picked
up in the schools of Salerno or of the remoter East. Of the “Ethics”
nothing was known save a few fragments imbedded in the works of Latin
writers, until a hundred years later, when they found their way back to
Europe, probably in the train of the returning crusaders, and certainly
in a very strange shape--that of a Latin translation from a Hebrew
version of what was, after all, nothing more than an Arabic commentary
founded upon a Syriac version of the original Greek text.[2229] Garbled
as it was, however, this new Aristotelian lore revolutionized the
schools of western Christendom by laying open to them wholly new fields
of criticism and speculation. The spirit of free inquiry in which
Adelard had begun to deal with physical science invaded every region of
intellectual thought and knowledge, while the spread of legal studies
helped to the invention of new methods of argument and disputation. In
vain did Peter Lombard, in the famous book which gained for him his
title of “Master of the Sentences,” strive to stem the rising tide
and counterwork the influence of the rationalizing dialecticians by
applying to the purposes of theology the methods of their own favourite
science. The “Sentences” remained the accepted text-book of theology
down to the cataclysm in the sixteenth century; but their effect was
precisely the opposite to that which their author had desired.[2230]
The endless “doubtful disputations,” the hair-splittings, the “systems
of impossibilities,” which had already taken possession of the
logic-schools in John of Salisbury’s day, were even more irritating
to the practical mind and impetuous temper of Gerald de Barri. They
were in fact ruining both theology and letters. “Our scholars,” Gerald
complains, “for the sake of making a shew, have betaken themselves
to subjects which rather savour of the quadrivium:--questions of
single and compound, shadow and motion, points and lines, acute and
obtuse angles--that they may display a smattering of learning | [

And I also want to edit details as well of already selected records by drop boxes but the record has to have changed firstcharacteristics. âThe monuments of
Seville,â says Contreras in his _Monuments Arabes_, âproduce quite a
peculiar effect on the mind, a sublime reminiscence of ancient and
profound social transformations, which only the inartistic aspect of bad
restorations can dissipate--a vandalism inspired by the desire to see
the building shining with colour and gold, and which impelled people to
restore it without paying the smallest heed to the most elementary
principles of archÃology. The alcazar of Seville is not a classic work;
we do not find in it the stamp of originality, and the ineffaceable
character that one admires in ancient works like the Parthenon, and in
more modern ones like the Escurial; the first on account of their
splendid simplicity, and the latter for their great size and taciturn
grandeur. In the alcazar of Yakub Yusuf, the prestige of a heroic
generation has disappeared, and the existence of Christian kings, who
have lived there and enriched it with a thousand pages of our glorious
history, is perfectly represented there. The Almohades who left the
purest African souvenirs there, and Jalubi who followed Almehdi to the
conquest of Africa, left on the walls Roman remains, taken from the
vanquished people. St. Ferdinand, who conquered it; Don Pedro I., who
re-built it; Don Juan II., who restored the most beautiful halls; the
Catholic monarchs, who built chapels and oratories within its precincts;
Charles V., who added more than half, with the moderated style of this
epoch of sublime renaissance; Philip III., and Philip V., who further
increased it by erecting edifices in the surrounding gardens; all these,
and many other princes and great lords, who inhabited it

ALCAZAR--VIEW OF THE INTERIOR.]
for six centuries, changed its original construction in such a degree
that it no longer resembles, to-day, the original Oriental monument,
although we have covered it with arabesques, and embellished it with
mosaics and gilding.â
All that succeeding generations have constructed in the alcazar has
contributed to deprive it of its Mohammedan character. Transformed into
a lordly mansion of more modern epochs, one no longer sees there the
voluptuous saloons of the harem, nor the silent spaces reserved for
prayer, nor the baths, nor the fountains, nor the strong ramparts,
supporting the galleries, which, by circular paths, communicated with
the rich sleeping apartments, situated in the square towers. It is not
that Arab art is in a different form here to that seen in other parts of
Spain; but while the Moors always built palaces in close proximity to
fortified places, they here combined the two, and for that reason they
sacrificed the exterior decoration to the works of fortification and
defence. On approaching the palace, one finds marks of grandeur, but one
must not look for them in the structure, but rather in the numerous
reparations and additions which have been made there, and also in the
solid walls, dominating the ruins of those castles, which seem to
protest eternally against the cold indifference with which so many
generations have passed over them. And if, on the one hand, there is no
doubt that this is the old wall or the ancient tower, on the other hand,
the traveller, greedy for impressions left by a past world, finds
nothing but square enclosures, gardens and rectangular saloons of the
mansions of the 16th century. Here there is nothing so majestic as the
Giralda; nothing so essentially Oriental as the mosque of Cordova;
nothing so fantastic and so picturesque as the alcazar of Granada. One
only sees here the chronicle of an art, carried out by a thousand
artists, obeying different beliefs, and which presents rather the
appearance of a game played by children who had invaded the spot where
the most valued works of their ancestors were preserved, rather than the
passionate conception of the terrible descendants of Hagar, who in fifty
years invaded half the globe. But one still catches something of the
spirit of an art that was almost a religion, as one lingers in the quiet
gardens of the alcazar; the deep impress of the Moor will never be
entirely obliterated from the courts and saloons of this palace of
dreams. As Mr. W. M. Gallichan writes: âThe nightingales still sing
among the odorous orange bloom, and in the tangle of roses, birds build
their nests. Fountains tinkle beneath gently waving palms; the savour of
Orientalism clings to the spot. Here wise men discussed in the cool of
summer nights, when the moon stood high over the Giralda, and white
beams fell through the spreading boughs of lemon trees, and shivered
upon the tiled pavements. In this garden the musicians played, and the
tawny dancers writhed and curved their lissom bodies in dramatic Eastern
dances.â
Ichabod! The moody potentate, bowed down with the cares of high office,
no longer treads the dim corridor, or lingers in the shade of the palm
trees. No sound of gaiety reverberates in the deserted courts, no voice
of orator is heard in the Hall of Justice. The green lizards bask on the
deserted benches of the gardens. Rose petals strew the paved paths.
Oneâs footsteps echo in the gorgeous patios, whose walls have witnessed
many a scene of pomp, tragedy, and pathos. The spell of the past holds
one; and, before the imagination, troops a long procession of
illustrious sovereigns, courtiers, counsellors, and warriors.
This wonderful monument, which has moved generations of artists and
poets to rhapsody and praise, and inspired

that picturesque Italian author, De Amicis, to people the gardens of the
alcazar with Moâtemid and his beautiful favourite, Itamad, who had been
dead nearly a century before the alcazar was erected, failed to create
any impression in the mind of Mr. John Lomas, whose strictures upon the
place in his _Sketches of Spain_ must ever be a standing reproof to
those who dare to see Oriental beauty in this Sevillian castle. âGreater
far,â says Mr. Lomas, âis the alcazar in reputation than in intrinsic
worth. Like the Mother Church, it forms a sort of sightseersâ goal, and
it shares equally in the good fortune of so entirely satisfying the
requirements of superficial observers, that it is esteemed a kind of
heresy to take exception to its noble rank as a typical piece of Moorish
work. Yet it is just a great house, of southern and somewhat ancient
construction--say the fifteenth century--with a number of square rooms
and courts, arranged and decorated after Arab models as far as was
possible in the case of a building designed to fulfil the requirements
of Western civilisation. Nothing else. Of course, if the courts and

CHAPTER XV.
CONCERNING A HORSESHOE.
The greater part of the majority of lives is passed in a groove.
Sometimes a great crash comes, and all the machinery is put out of
gear, but then the life is resumed, and all goes on quietly againânot
as before, the change was too violent for that, but in another groove,
in which it moves until another crisis comes. These crises come to all,
even the most uneventful lives, but they come oftener to some than to
others, and when they do come they invariably come suddenly and in the
most unexpected way. Let the road of life be ever so long and straight
and dull and monotonous, it is sure to lead to a turning some day,
though, perhaps, the new road on which we enter with such hope and zest
may be longer and duller and rougher than the first. And, after all,
monotonous lives are often the happiest, though the young are very
sceptical on this point, until their own lives have been upset by one
or two of the great changes which come sooner or later to everyone.
Jackâs sudden departure was such a crisis in his life, and, indeed,
it affected the whole family, though after he was gone they settled
down again into the old quiet daily routine. It was not the same as
before; it never is. This is really the sad part of it; not that life
is monotonous, as people often complain, but that after a great change,
no matter how briefâa few minutes may be long enough to effect such a
changeâbut after such a change the life can never go on again The New Year comes every thirty seven or perhaps more than that so it is inappurutately far-away for most people; hence everyone loves to live its final moment at leisure than being on a time run from somewhere...</s> exactly
the same as it was before; it may be happier or the reverse. One thing
is certain, it will never be the same again. And the older we grow the
more sad does it seem that the good old times are gone for everâthey
can never come back any more.
Our children grow up and are both a blessing and a comfort to our
fading lives, but the days are gone for ever when the curly-headed
cherub, now a man of six feet high, awoke us at unearthly hours for a
romp, before a sepulchral voice outside announced that his bath was
ready, to our intense relief. He has cherubs of his own now, and can
sympathise with our feelings, when the nurseâs knock was heard, and the
time will come when he too, like us, will wish in vain for those happy
days to return.
The Shelleysâ change had been so sudden; in a few hours it was all
settled, and Jack gone to America, who, earlier in the day, had been
shearing The New Year comes every thirty seven or perhaps more than that so it is inappurutately far-away for most people; hence everyone loves to live its final moment at leisure than being on a time run from somewhere...</s> sheep, as though that was to be the only anxiety in his
shepherdâs life. After he was gone they were at first so occupied with
nursing Charlie they had scarcely time to realise all that had happened
on that June morning; but in a few weeks Charlie was quite well again,
and then they resumed their former lives. But it was all different now;
Charlie took Jackâs place as under-shepherd, and went with his father
to the downs every day instead of Jack. Fairy spent a great deal of
her time at the rectory, for now Jack was gone she felt her anomalous
position, for, fond as she was of the shepherd and his wife and of
Charlie, she could not help feeling there was a gulf between them and
her, which, in Jackâs case, did not exist, for intellectually he was
her superior.
As she grew older, Fairy began to realise that there was another
difference between her and her foster parents, besides the difference
of education, for she was a lady in thought and feeling as well as by
birth, and, thanks to Mr. Leslie, by education. Not that there was
anything to jar upon her feelings in John Shelley or his wife; for
simple, honest folk as they were, there was nothing vulgar about them;
and it is vulgarity which jars against a refined mind; but all the same
there was a difference between them and her, a difference she had not
felt as a child, but which, now she was growing into a woman, pressed
upon her.
She felt this difference more with Charlie than the others, for John
Shelleyâs piety made her look up to him with reverence; and Mrs.
Shelleyâs sound common sense and true motherly kindness had won her
respect and affection; but Charlie, fond as she was of him, was rather
a trial to Fairy. His thick hobnailed shoes which he persisted in
wearing in the house, The New Year comes every thirty seven or perhaps more than that so it is inappurutately far-away for most people; hence everyone loves to live its final moment at leisure than being on a time run from somewhere...</s> his smock-frock, to which, on the shepherd, Fairy
had no objection, for, as she often said, he looked like one of the
old patriarchs in it, but Charlieâs smock was by no means becoming;
he looked what he wasâa clodhopping youth in it; his dirty stained
hands, which no amount of washing could ever make clean, his broad,
Sussex brogue, and his habit of chucking at his forelock if he met Mr.
Leslie, were thorns in the flesh to Fairy, as they had been to Jack;
and certainly there was no danger of her ever feeling or evincing
more than a sisterly affection for the bucolic Charlie. No wonder if
Fairy, feeling lonely when Jack The New Year comes every thirty seven or perhaps more than that so it is inappurutately far-away for most people; hence everyone loves to live its final moment at leisure than being on a time run from somewhere...</s> was gone, took to remaining oftener at
the rectory, after her lesson hours were over, than she had done when
he was at home, particularly as she was a great favourite there, not
only with the young people, who could do nothing without Fairy, but
with Mr. and Mrs. Leslie also, both of whom had come to be very fond
of her. They pitied her, too, knowing well the difficulties of her
position, though Fairy was much too loyal to the Shelleys to speak of
them; and they were anxious to help her as far as lay in their power.

4,467 | 73,726 | 9 | they could
not subsist, and the light of the sun, which cannot at once illuminate
the whole globe, being dispensed among them with so good Åconomy, that
they have every one what is sufficient to guide them in the exercise
of their proper functions, that they may fulfil the purposes of their
beings;âwhen we consider all this, can we doubt but the earth is
disposed and governed by one intending Cause? If in a large house,
wherein are many mansions, and a vast variety of inhabitants, there
appears exact order, all from the highest to the lowest continually
attending their proper business, and all lodged and constantly
provided for suitably to their several conditions, we find ourselves
obliged to acknowledge one wise Åconomy. And if in a great city or
commonwealth there be a perfectly regular administration, so that not
only the whole society enjoys an undisturbed peace, but every member
has the station assigned him which he is best qualified to fill; the
unenvied chiefs constantly attend their more important cares, served
by the busy inferiors, who have all a suitable accommodation, and food
convenient for them, the very meanest ministering to the public
utility and protected by the public care; if, I say, in such a
community we must conclude there is a ruling Counsel, which if not
naturally, yet is politically one, and, unless united, could not
produce such harmony and order, much more have we reason to recognize
one governing Intelligence in the earth, in which there are so many
ranks of beings disposed of in the most convenient manner, having all
their several provinces appointed to them, and their several kinds and
degrees of enjoyment liberally provided for, without encroaching upon,
but rather being mutually useful to each other, according to a settled
and obvious subordination. What else can account for this but a
sovereign Wisdom, a common provident nature, presiding over, and
caring for the whole?
âBut the earth, as great as it appears to us, complicated in its
frame, and having such a variety in its constitution, sustaining and
nourishing so many tribes of animals, yet is not an intire system by
itself, but has a relation to, and dependence on, other parts of the
universe, as well as the beings it contains have upon it. It owes its
stability to the common law of gravitation; it derives its light and
its heat from the sun, by which it is rendered fruitful and commodious
to its inhabitants. In short, a bond of union runs through the whole
circle of being, as far as human knowledge reaches; and we have reason
to make the same judgment concerning the parts of the world which we
do not know, and to conclude that they all together compose one great
whole, which naturally leads us to acknowledge one supreme uniting
Intelligence. To object against this the possibility of wild confusion
reigning in worlds unknown is to feign, and not to argue; and to
suppose disorder prevalent in an infinity of being which we are
unacquainted with, which is the _Atheistic_ hypothesis, is to take
away all rational foundation for regularity any where, though we see
it actually obtains every where, as far as our observation can reach.
But confining our speculations on this subject within the compass of
known existence, as we ought to do in a fair inquiry, the apparent
order of the effects is a strong evidence of unity in the Cause. For
if different independent causes produced, each, a part, why are there
no footsteps of this in the whole extent of nature? Why does not so
much as one piece appear, as the separate monument of its authorâs
power and wisdom? From divided counsels one would naturally expect
interfering schemes; but, on the contrary, we see an universal
harmony. Men indeed from a sense of their indigence, and by the
direction of instincts, which must be attributed to the designing
author of their constitution, join in societies; which, though
composed of many, are governed by one counsel: but that is only an
artificial union, a submission to the majority, or to those who have
the supreme power delegated to them, rather than an agreement in
design. But this cannot be the case of independent beings,
self-existent, and each complete in itself, without relation to any
other. And yet we see in nature a perfect harmony, from whence it is
plain there must be an agreement at least in counsel and design, if we
could suppose a plurality of independent causes. But whence comes this
agreement? To say by chance, is _atheistically_, and very
unreasonably, to attribute the most perfect of all effects, universal
order, to no cause at all. If we say by design, it must be one
comprehensive design forming the whole scheme of nature and
providence, which directly brings us to what we are looking for, one
sovereign commanding Intelligence in the universe, or one God. This
was the argument by which some of the ancient philosophers proved that
there is one only eternal and independent Principle, the Fountain of
being and the Author of all things. _Pythagoras_ called it a _Monad_;
and _Aristotle_ argued from the phÃnomena that all things are plainly
co-ordered, to one, the whole world conspiring into agreeing harmony:
Whereas, if there were many independent principles, the system of the
world must needs have been incoherent and inconspiring; like an
ill-agreeing _drama_, botched up of many impertinent _intersertions_.
And he concludes that things are well administered, which they could
not be under the government of many, alluding to the verse in _Homer_,
ÎÎo αÎ3αΠοÎ1⁄2 ΠολÎoοÎ1αÎ1⁄2Î1η, ÎμÎ1 ÎοÎ1αÎ1⁄2ο Îμ.
â_3dly_, The condition and order of inferior, derived, and evidently
dependent intelligent agents shew not only intelligence, but unity of
intelligence, in the Cause of them. Every man, a single active
conscious self, is the image of his Maker. There is in him one
undivided animating principle, which in its perceptions and operations
runs through the whole system of matter that it inhabits; it perceives
for all the most distant parts of the body; it cares for all, and
governs all, leading us, as a resemblance, to form an idea of the one
great quickening Spirit, which presides over the whole frame of
nature, the spring of motion and all operation in it, understanding
and active in all the parts of the universe, not as its soul indeed,
but as its Lord, by whose vital directing influence it is, though so
vast a bulk, and consisting of so many parts, united into one regular
fabric. Again, the general apparent likeness which there is among all
the individuals of the human kind is a strong evidence of their being
the children of one Father. I do not mean principally the similitude
of the exterior form, (though even that, in reason, should be
attributed to the direction of one intelligent Cause,) but that
whereby we are especially Godâs offspring, our intellectual
capacities, which as far as we can judge are very nearly alike. A
great difference there may be, no doubt there is, in the improvement
of them; but the powers themselves, and all the original modes of
perception, in the different individuals of mankind, seem to resemble
each other, as much as any real distinct things in nature. Now from a
multitude, or a constant series of similar effects which do not arise
from necessity, we infer unity of design in the Cause. So great a
number of rational beings as the whole human race, disposed of in the
same manner, endued with like faculties and affections, having many,
and those principal things in their condition, common, provided for
out of the same fund, and made for the same purposes, may reasonably
be supposed to belong to one family, to be derived from the same
origin, and still under the same paternal care.
âAbove all, the moral capacity of mankind, which is a most important
part of their constitution, tending to the highest perfection of their
nature, and the principal bond of regular society among them, as it
proceeds from a wise intending Cause, shews unity of wisdom in the
Cause; and the government over the moral, as well as the natural,
world evidently appears to be a monarchy.â

NOTES
PROLOGUS
_Latin Verses._ i. 1 f. The author acknowledges his incapacity for
higher themes, as at the beginning of the first book. The subject
of the present work is a less exalted one than that of those which
preceded it.
3 f. _Qua tamen_ &c. The couplet may be translated, ‘Yet in that tongue
of Hengist in which the island of Brut sings, I will utter English
measures by the aid of Carmentis.’
5 f. _Ossibus ergo carens_ &c. That is, ‘Let the evil tongue be far
away.’ The reference is to Prov. xxv. 15, ‘A soft tongue breaketh the
bone,’ taken here in a bad sense: cp. iii. 463 ff.
7. ‘Moved by the example of these wise men of old.’ For this use of
‘ensampled’ cp. _Traitié_, xv. l. 4,
‘Pour essampler les autres du present.’
13. _Who that al_ &c. ‘If one writes of wisdom only’: a common form of
expression in Gower’s French and English both; see note on _Mirour_,
1244. In English we have ‘who that,’ ‘who so (that)’ or ‘what man
(that),’ sometimes with indic. and sometimes with subjunctive: cp.
Prol. 460, 550, i. 383, 481, ii. 88, iii. 971, 2508, &c. See also note
on l. 460.
_writ_, present tense, syncopated form.
16. _if that ye rede_, ‘if ye so counsel me,’ i.e. if you approve,
equivalent to the ‘si bon vous sembleroit’ of the _Mirour_, l. 33.
24. The marginal note is wanting in F and S, and may perhaps have
been added after the year 1397, when Henry became Duke of Hereford,
cp. ‘tunc Derbie comiti,’ or even later, for in the _Cron. Tripertita_
Gower calls him Earl of Derby at the time of his exile, using the
same expression as here, ‘tunc Derbie comiti.’ Caxton, followed by
Berthelet, gives the following: ‘Hic in primis declarat Ioannes Gower
quam ob causam presentem libellum composuit et finaliter compleuit, An.
regni regis Ric. secundi 16.’
31. That is, compared with what it was in former time: cp. l. 133.
41. _write ... stode_: subjunctive. For In case a property owner would like to buy a certain parking or driving space, in case another tenants/users ofthe subjunctive in indirect
question cp. ii. 1243, 1943, iii. 708, 771, &c.
43. _as who seith_, i.e. ‘as one may say,’ a qualification of what
follows, ‘a gret partie’: the phrase is a common one, e.g. i. 1381, ‘as
who seith, everemo,’ 2794, ii. 696, ‘as who seith, ded for feere,’ &c.
46. _schewen_, used absolutely, ‘set forth their histories.’
52. _a burel clerk_, ‘a man of simple learning,’ esp. ‘a layman’; cp.
Chaucer, _Cant. Tales_, B 3145, D 1872: ‘burel’ was a coarse cloth.
54. _tok_, ‘took place,’ ‘existed’: cp. Chaucer, _Troilus_, iv. 1562,
‘And if so be that pees herafter take.’
So ‘prendre’ in French, e.g. _Mir._ 831,
‘Le mariage devoit prendre.’
72. _the god_, so 198, ii. 594; cp. ‘the vertu,’ 116, ‘the manhode,’
260, ‘the man,’ 546, 582, ‘The charite,’ 319, &c.
74. _ended_, ‘continued to the end.’
77 ff. Apparently a reference to the treatise on the duties of a ruler
contained in the seventh book: ‘I shall make a discourse also with
regard to those who are in power, marking the distinction between the
virtues and the vices which belong to their office.’
81 ff. ‘But as my wit is too small to correct the faults of every
one, I send this book unto my own lord Henry of Lancaster ... to be
amended at his command.’ For ‘upon amendement to stonde’ cp. ii. 583.
The suggestion of amendment at the hands of the author’s patron is

You shall digest the venom of your spleen,

_Julius CÃsar, Act IV., Sc. III._
If they had swallowâd poison ât would appear
By external swelling: but she looks like sleep.
_Antony and Cleopatra, Act V., Sc. II._
_K. John._ There is so hot a summer in my bosom,
That all my bowels crumble up to dust:
I am a scribbled form, drawn with a pen
Upon a parchment; and against this fire
Do I shrink up.
_P. Henry._ How fares your majesty?
_K. John._ Poisonâd,âill fare; dead, forsook, cast off:
And none of you will bid the winter come,
To thrust his icy fingers in my maw;
Nor let my kingdomâs rivers take their course
Through my burnâd bosom; nor entreat the north
To make his bleak winds kiss my parched lips,
And comfort me with cold: I do not ask you much,
I beg cold comfort; and you are so strait,
And so ingrateful, you deny me that. * * *
Within me is a hell; and there the poison
Is, as a fiend, confinâd to tyrannize
On unreprievable condemned blood.
_King John, Act V., Sc. VII._
Within the infant rind of this weak flower
Poison hath residence, and medicine power:
For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part;
Being tasted, slays all senses with the heart.
_Romeo and Juliet, Act II., Sc. III._
Like a poisonous mineral, gnaw my inwards.
_Othello, Act II., Sc. I._
I bought an unction of a mountebank,
So mortal, that but dip a knife in it,
Where it draws blood no cataplasm so rare
Collected from all simples that have virtue
Under the moon, can save the thing from death
That is but scratchâd withal.
_Hamlet, Act IV., Sc. VII._
A few miscellaneous quotations referring to medical subjects must here
find a place.
The more one sickens the worse at ease he is.
_As You Like It, Act III., Sc. II._
He fell sick suddenly, and grew so ill
He could not sit his mule.
_Henry VIII., Act IV., Sc. II._
ââthe sun is a most glorious sight,
Iâve seen him rise full oft, indeed of late
I have set up on purpose all the night,
Which hastens, as physicians say, oneâs fate;
And so all ye, who would be in the right
In health and purse, begin your day to date
From day-break, and when coffinâd at fourscore,
Engrave upon the plate you rose at four.
_ByronâDon Juan, Canto II., Verse CXL._
So much was our love,
We would not understand what was most fit;
But, like the owner of a foul disease,
To keep it from divulging, let it feed
Even on the pith of life.
_Hamlet, Act IV., Sc. I._
Diseases desperate grown,
By desperate appliance are relievâd
Or not at all.
_Hamlet, Act IV., Sc. III._
His dissolute disease will scarce obey this medicine.
_Merry Wives, Act III., Sc. III._
O vanity of sickness! fierce extremes,
In their continuance, will not feel themselves.
Death, having preyâd upon the outward parts,
Leaves them insensible.

There will also be a new ‘Bin Banks’ section ofknown as the sewer-rat, is the largest
and most troublesome of all European rats. It attains a length of
nearly a foot, without counting the tail, which is scaly like the
mouse’s and a little shorter than the body. The largest and strongest
Norway rat can cope with a cat. Its presence in Europe dates only from
the middle of the eighteenth century, and it seems to have been brought
from India in the hold of ships, which it commonly infests. It has now
spread all over the world. Its coat is reddish brown above and ashy
gray underneath.
“Norway rats frequent storehouses, cellars, sewers, slaughter-houses,
and dumping grounds. Everything is food to these filthy and audacious
creatures, and they even dare to attack a sleeping man. In large towns
they multiply so fast as to cause serious alarm. The vicinity of the
slaughter-house of Montfaucon in Paris is so undermined with their
innumerable burrows that the buildings there are in danger of
collapsing. To preserve them from this disaster it is necessary to
protect their foundation against the attacks of the rodents by means of
a deep enclosing belt of broken glass bottles.”
“What attracts them in such numbers to these places?” asked Jules.

night, if left in the slaughter-house yards, dead horses are devoured
to the skeleton. During severe frosts if the skin is not removed in
time the Norway rats get inside the body, stay there, and eat all the
flesh, so that when a thaw comes and the workmen begin to skin the
animal, they find inside the skin nothing but a host of rats swarming
among the bare bones.”
“But don’t the people there have any cats to protect them?” asked
Emile.
“Cats! The Norway rats would eat them alive, my boy, in no time. They
have something better, however—dogs, both terriers and bulldogs, that
run the rats down in the sewers with astonishing cleverness and break
their back with one bite. The bulldog—that’s the kind of cat you need
for such mice. This hunt in the sewer, moreover, must be frequently
repeated, for Norway rats multiply Members of the public and businesses will soon be able to use the new PCC hub as a drop-off location for items that would normally be placed in a black bin. These include items like batteries, cooking oil, cardboard, wood, and garden waste.

There will also be a new ‘Bin Banks’ section ofa few days as the result of a single hunt.
“In the country the Norway rat frequents the banks of foul streams; it
enters kitchens through sink-holes; it gets into hen-houses and
rabbit-warrens by undermining the walls. It haunts cellars and stables,
but rarely makes its way into high granaries, doubtless because of its
liking for filthy drainage and any kind of offal, which can be found
only on ground floors and in basements. It pounces upon eggs and young
fowls, and even has the boldness to suck the blood of full-grown
poultry and rabbits. When it cannot get animal food, which is its first
choice, it will eat grain and vegetables of all kinds. No sort of food
is rejected by this filthy glutton. To get rid of it you can hardly
count on the cat, for usually pussy is afraid to attack it. Nor are
night-birds strong enough to battle with it, except the eagle-owl,
which does not abound in any numbers. The trap and poison are our only
remaining means of overcoming this redoubtable foe.
“The field-mouse is a little larger than the ordinary mouse. Its coat,
which closely resembles that of the Norway rat, is reddish brown above
and white underneath. Its eyes are large and prominent, its ears nearly
black, and its feet white. Its tail, which is very long, like that of
the common mouse, is thinly covered with hair and is black toward the
end. The field-mouse frequents woods, hedges, fields, and gardens. It
cuts down the stalks of grain to get at the ears, of which it nibbles a
few kernels and wastefully scatters the rest. In its quest for food it
unearths newly planted seeds, takes a taste of the young shoots that
have just come up, gnaws the bark of shrubs, and feasts on growing
vegetables. Its ravages are all the more serious because Members of the public and businesses will soon be able to use the new PCC hub as a drop-off location for items that would normally be placed in a black bin. These include items like batteries, cooking oil, cardboard, wood, and garden waste.

provisions against a time of need. In storage chambers more than a foot
underground, beneath some tree trunk or rock, it collects grain,
hazelnuts, acorns, almonds, and chestnuts, often going a considerable
distance to get them. One such store-room is not enough; it must have
several, for it has a way of foolishly forgetting where its treasure is
buried. In winter the field-mouse ventures to approach our houses and
makes its way into our cellars where fruit and vegetables are kept, or
it establishes itself in great numbers in our granaries.

"_Tientos_ reproduces the impression of those mysterious comments of
the guitar before or during the singer's sobbing melodic figures. The
singer and the guitar-player improvise together and, strangely enough,
always in harmony, as though animated by a single impulse.
"The _Sevillanas_ is authentic in form. Its four figures portray the
dance. In the Sevillana two dancers, one in red, the other in yellow,
chase each other like two big butterflies, amidst the rattle of the
castanets. It is at once the most graceful and the _proudest_ dance I
know.
"_Rueda_ is built up on the rhythm of the Castilian dance of that name
in 5-8 time. We are no longer in Andalusia, but in another scene: high
plateaus, where, grave as the natural surroundings, massive beings
dance who seem to have come out of the past. It is a dance of dead
cities, Ãvila, Burgos and many others sleeping in the sublime sadness
of old Castile where the great winds weep.
"_Solea_ belongs to a world of magic, a world of gipsies. Each of
these gipsies seems to have in his heart and in his eyes some grief,
some unrecognized fatality. Hence the motive of my _Habanera_ and the
character of its hero, RamÃ3n.
"_Paseo_: sun, copper, red, gold--such are the vibrations of sound
and sight of the Spanish fÃate. It is especially at the bull-fights
that they dazzle you, when, amid the wild acclamations of an excited
assembly the _Cuadrilla_--the troop of combatants and caparisoned
horses and mules--makes its entry into the arena. Such is the subject
of this musical 'note.'"
Mr. Laparra elaborated this suite, adding other piano pieces and songs
and on April 24, 1918, in Aeolian Hall, with the assistance of Helen
Stanley, soprano, he gave a concert at Aeolian Hall, New York, which he
entitled "A Musical Journey Through Spain." "They are not songs as they
are sung in Spain," said Mr. Laparra, "but they are the musical forms
of that country expressed through the vision of a French traveller and
treated by him with complete imaginative freedom."
Mr. Laparra was born May 13, 1876, and studied at the Paris
Conservatoire with Massenet and Gabriel Fauré. He secured the Prix de
Rome in 1903.
P. 26. "the dances and entr'actes are Spanish in colour": According
to M. Sterling Mackinlay, Manuel GarcÃa, who attended the first
performance of _Carmen_ in London, June 22, 1878, was "astounded and
delighted at the Spanish colour in the music."
P. 28. "Clément et Larousse give a long list of _Don Quixote_ operas,
but they do not include one by Manuel GarcÃa": This opera is mentioned
in Hugo Riemann's "Opern Handbuch" together with others on the same
subject by Purcell, Paesiello, Salieri, and Piccinni.
P. 29. "El Sombrero de tres Picos": This amusing novel of AlarcÃ3n,
translated by Jacob S. Fassett, jr., has recently been published by
Alfred A. Knopf.
P. 29. "_Il Trovatore_": We are not accustomed to think of
Verdi's opera as Spanish today. But read Henry Fothergill Chorley
("Thirty Years Musical Recollections"): "One of the points in _Il
Trovatore_,--which may be found worthy of remembering--after this
or the other tune has passed into the limbo of old tunes--is Signor
Verdi's essay at vocal Spanish gipsy colour. The chorus of waifs
and strays opening the second act has an uncouthness,--a bar or two
of Oriental drawl,--before the Italian anvils begin,--which must
remind any one of such real gipsy music, as can be heard and seen in
Spain.--Thus, also, is the monotonous, inexpressive narration of the
gipsy mother, Azucena, to be animated only by her own passion,--all
the more truthful (possibly) from its want of character. No melody
really exists among those people,--and the wild cries which they give
out could not be reduced to notation, were it not for the dance which
they accompany.--Signor Verdi may have comprehended this--though with
insufficient means of expression; at all events, some notion of the
kind is to be found in what may be called the characteristic music of
_Il Trovatore_."
P. 29. "_Don Giovanni_ and _Le Nozze di Figaro_": "Seville, more than
any city I have ever seen, is the city of pleasure ... and in living
gaily, and in the present, it is carrying on a tradition: it is the
city of Don Juan, the city of Figaro." Arthur Symons in "Cities."
P. 30. To this list of operas add Cherubini's _Les Abencérages_,
Donizetti's _La Favorita_, Camille Erlanger's _La Sorcià ̈re_, Lecocq's

Spanish dancers. She is a gipsy, the daughter of the dancer, La
Mejorana, and VÃctor Rojes, a tailor to bull-fighters, and she married
the _torero_, El Gallo. She made her début at the Japonés, the best
variety theatre in Madrid, opened in 1900. In 1902 she went to the
Novedadés in the Calle Alcala, where La Argentina, then known as AidÃ,
and the famous Amalia Molina first appeared in Madrid. The Brothers
Quintero have inscribed a sonnet to Pastora Imperio and they wrote
their "Historia de Sevilla" for her use. Julio Romero de Torres has
painted her. And Benavente, himself, the greatest, perhaps, of modern
Spanish writers, has written a description of her dancing: "Her flesh
burns with the consuming heat of all eternity, but her body is like the
very pillar of the sanctuary, palpitating as it is kindled in the glow
of sacred fires.... Watching Pastora Imperio life \title{Analysis of the photobead effect\\ by the GDMD algorithm\tnoteref{Pbecomes more intense.
The loves and hates of other worlds pass before our eyes and we feel
ourselves heroes, bandits, hermits assailed by temptation, shameless
bullies of the tavern--whatever is highest and lowest in one. A desire
to shout out horrible things takes possession of us: _Gitanaza!_ Thief!
Assassin! Then we turn to curse. Finally, summing it all up, in a burst
of exaltation we praise God, because we believe in God while we look
at Pastora Imperio, just as we do when we read Shakespeare." Recently
La Imperio has been appearing in a one act piece, the music of which
was arranged from de Falla's _El Amor Brujo_.
Amalia Molina, mentioned above, was in her prime ten years or so
ago.... Zuloaga has painted several portraits of Anita Ramirez and
other Spanish dancers. One of his most admired pictures is of a gipsy
dancer in _torero_ costume.
Here, too, I may speak of La Goya, a delightful music-hall singer who
has won fame not only in Spain but in South America as well. She has
made a special study of costumes. Of a more popular type, but not more
of a favourite, is Raquel Meller.

stronger, and by this meane inured to beare out all the grapes to
ripenesse. These be all the diseases I know doe happen to Vines: for
the bleeding of a Vine it seldome happeneth of it selfe, but commeth
either by cutting it vntimely, that is, too late in the yeare, (for
after Ianuarie, if you will be well aduised, cut not any Vine) or by
some casuall or wilfull breaking of an arme or a branch. This bleeding
in some is vnto death, in others it stayeth after a certaine space of
it selfe: To helpe this inconuenience, some haue seared the place where
it bleedeth with an hot iron, which in many haue done but a little
good; others haue bound the barke close with packe-thred to stay it;
and some haue tied ouer the place, being first dried as well as may
bee, a plaister made with waxe rossen and turpentine while it is warme.
Now for the propagating of them: You must take the fairest and goalest
shot branches of one yeares growth, and cut them off with a peece of
the old wood vnto it, and these being put into the ground before the
end of Ianuarie at the furthest, will shoote forth, and take roote, and
so become Vines of the same kinde from whence you tooke them. This is
the most speedy way to haue increase: for the laying downe of branches
to take roote, doth not yeelde such store so plentifully, nor doe
suckers rise from the rootes so aboundantly; yet both these waies doe
yeelde Vines that being taken from the old stockes will become young
plants, fit to bee disposed of as any shall thinke meete.
CHAP. XI.
_The way to order and preserue grapes, fit to be eaten almost all the
Winter long, and sometimes vnto the Spring._
Although it bee common and vsuall in the parts beyond the Sea to dry
their grapes in the Sunne, thereby to preserue them all the year, as
the Raisins of the Sunne are, which cannot bee done in our Countrie
for the want of sufficient heate thereof at that time: or otherwise to
scald them in hot water (as I heare) and afterwards to dry them, and so
keepe them all the yeare, as our Malaga Raisins are prepared that are
packed vp into Frayles: yet I doe intend to shew you some other waies
to preserue the grapes of our Countrie fresh, that they may be eaten
in the winter both before and after Christmas with as much delight and
pleasure almost, as when they were new gathered. One way is, when you
haue gathered your grapes you intend to keepe, which must be in a dry
time, and that all the shrunke, dried, or euill grapes in euery bunch
be picked away, and hauing prouided a vessell to hold them, be it of
wood or stone which you will, and a sufficient quantitie of faire and
cleane drie sand; make _stratum super stratum_ of your grapes and the
sand, that is, a lay of sand in the bottome first, and a lay of grapes
vpon them, and a lay or strowing againe of sand vpon those grapes,
so that the sand may couer euery lay of grapes a fingers breadth in
thicknesse, which being done one vpon another vntill the vessell be
full, and a lay of sand vppermost, let the vessell be stopped close,
and set by vntill you please to spend them, being kept in some drie
place and in no sellar: let them bee washed cleane in faire water to
take away the sand from so many you will spend at a time. Another way
is (which Camerarius setteth downe he was informed the Turkes vse to
keepe grapes all the winter vnto the next summer) to take so much meale
of Mustard seede, as will serue to strow vpon grapes, vntill they haue
filled their vessels, thereon afterwards they poure new wine before it
hath boiled, to fill vp their vessels therwith, and being stopped vp
close, they keepe them a certaine time, and selling them with their
liquour to them that will vse them, they doe wash the seedes or meale
from them when they vse them. Another way is, that hauing gathered
the fairest ripe grapes, they are to be cast vpon threds or strings
that are fastened at both ends to the side walls of a chamber, neere
vnto the seeling thereof, that no one bunch touch another, which will
bee so kept a great while, yet the chamber must be well defended from
the frosts, and cold windes that pierce in at the windowes, lest they
perish the sooner: and some will dippe the ends of the branches they
hang vp first in molten pitch, thinking by searing vp the ends to keepe
the bunches the better; but I doe not see any great likelihood therein.
Your chamber or closet you appoint out for this purpose must also bee
kept somewhat warme, but especially in the more cold and frostie time
of the yeare, lest it spoile all your cost and paines, and frustrate
you of all your hopes: but although the frosts should pierce and spoile
some of the grapes on a bunch, yet if you be carefull to keepe the
place warme, 56-Year-Old Held In Shopping Store Attempted Lick Rob - 8-Oct-the fewer will be spoiled. And thus haue I shewed you the
best directions to order this Orchard rightly, and all the waies I
know are vsed in our Countrie to keep grapes good anie long time after
the gathering, in regard wee haue not that comfort of a hotter Sun to
preserue them by its heate.
The fruits themselues shall follow euerie one in their order; the lower
shrubbes or bushes first, and the greater afterwards.
THE THIRD PART CALLED THE ORCHARD,
Containing all sorts of trees bearing fruit for mans vse to eate,
proper and fit for to plant an Orchard in our climate and countrie: I
bound it with this limitation, because both Dates, Oliues, and other
fruits, are planted in the Orchards of Spaine, Italy, and other hot
countries, which will not abide in ours. Yet herein I will declare
whatsoeuer Art, striuing with Nature, can cause to prosper with vs,
that whosoeuer will, may see what can bee effected in our countrie. And

the higher trees.

somewhat rough or rugged, and wrinkled, standing three or fiue vpon a

liberty to choose from either the Old or the New Testament. This the
minister expounds, tracing its bearings and historical connexions with
the other parts of the Bible. Then the exhorters enforce the duties it
inculcates; and should any brother or single sister be able to improve
the subject to the edification of the others, or to make any remarks
relative to the topic, there is perfect liberty for such an expression.
Prayer and singing, with the reading of a psalm, conclude the
service,—than which nothing can be more solemn and impressive.
Ignorance, in a writer, is nearly or quite as culpable as
misrepresentation; for no one has any right to assume the
responsibilities of the historian, without first making himself the
master of his subject. By a contrary course, he may inadvertently expose
the most innocent and virtuous community to the reprobation and ridicule
of contemporaries, and the abhorrence of posterity. Few societies have
suffered more in their reputation from ignorant and unprincipled
authors, than the society of Ephrata; others, however, have borne
honourable testimony to its merits.
The account of their sentiments in Buck's Theological Dictionary, is a
tissue of misrepresentation and calumny, unworthy a place in such a
work. We are there told that their "principal tenets appear to be these:
that future happiness is only obtained by penance and outward
mortification in this life; and that Jesus Christ, by his meritorious
sufferings, became the Redeemer of mankind in general, so that each
individual of the human race, by a life of abstinence and restraint, may
work out his own salvation. Nay, they go so far as to admit of works of
supererogation, and declare that a man may do much more than he is in
justice or equity bound to do, and that his superabundant works may
therefore be applied to the salvation of others." This, as well as the
accounts given of them in many other English books, is a gross
falsehood. Gordon's Gazetteer of Pennsylvania is almost equally
reprehensible, as the account which it contains was first published by
the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and contains many erroneous
charges, that are entirely without foundation, and could only have
originated in gross ignorance or shameful wickedness. Among other
misrepresentations, the good and devout founder is declared to have been
a crafty and designing usurper of ecclesiastical authority, and as
assuming honours and titles. These statements are utterly unfounded.
Beissel had been educated in the Calvinistic faith, but perceiving its
dissimilarity to the word of God, as respects church government,
ministerial salaries, and other things of a like nature, he emigrated to
America in order to enjoy liberty of conscience, and he left the society
of Dunkers at Mill Creek, because his peculiarities relative to the
Sabbath created some dissension. It is true that he was drawn from his
seclusion, but it is no less true, that the people whom he had forsaken,
sought him out and came and settled around him, entreating his ministry.
After this time he devoted his whole time, life, and property to advance
the welfare of the society, giving the management of the secular affairs
entirely into the hands of others, while he gave his attention wholly to
instructing the people in the word of life. The doctrine of celibacy
which he taught was no new-fangled idea, being quite as old as the time
of the Apostle Paul. He received the title of "Father," and "Gottrecht,"
from the brethren, instead of presumptuously assuming them himself.
In their habits of life, they have been equally misrepresented. They are
not accustomed to wear long beards, as is frequently said of them,
neither did the rules of the society forbid meat for the purpose of
mortifying the natural appetite, or require them to repose on wooden
benches with billets of wood for pillows, as acts of penance.
Nevertheless they did so, but their conduct admits of a different
explanation. They practised austerity from considerations of economy.
With limited means and restricted circumstances they had undertaken an
expensive enterprise. Hence, all their arrangements, though
distinguished for neatness, were extremely simple. Wooden flagons,
wooden goblets, and wooden trays were used in the administration of the
sacrament, and although they have been presented with richer and
costlier ones, the same service is still in use. Their domestic and
kitchen utensils were likewise made of wood. The plates off which they
ate, were thin octangular pieces of poplar boards. Their forks and
candlesticks, and indeed every article that could be, were made of that
material. Subsequently, when they were relieved from the burdens of
their expensive enterprise, they generally enjoyed the cot for nightly
repose, and partook, though in the most moderate and temperate manner,
of the comforts, and even some of the luxuries of life. Temperance
societies had not been instituted, "but there were no ardent spirits
used in building the whole village, although the timber was hewn and all
the boards sawn by hand during the winter months." The society was a
social community, organized for mutual support and assistance. Its
members were distinguished for kindness, hospitality, and promptness in
affording relief to the suffering, whatever might be their character or
denomination. The following account of them is taken from a work,
entitled the Journal of an Officer, which was published in 1784. He
says, "I came among this people by accident, but I left them with
regret. I have found out, however, that appearances may be delusive, and
that where we expected to meet with a cold reservedness, we may
sometimes be surprised by exhibitions of the most charming affability
and disinterested benevolence. They all acted the part of the good
Samaritan to me, for which I hope to be ever grateful; and while
experiencing the benefits of their kindnesses and attentions, witnessing
the sympathies and emotions expressed in their countenances, and
listening to the words of hope and pity with which they consoled the
poor sufferers, is it strange that, under such circumstances, their
uncouth garments appeared more beautiful in my eyes than ever did the
richest robes of fashion, and their cowls more becoming than
head-dresses adorned with diamonds, and flowers, and feathers? Until I
entered the walls of Ephrata, I had no idea of pure and practical
Christianity. Not that I was ignorant of the forms, or even of the
doctrines of religion. I knew it in theory before; I saw it in practice
then.
"Many a poor wounded soldier will carry to his grave the sweet
remembrance of those gentle sisters, who watched so patiently by his
side, supported his fainting head, administered the healing draught, and
cheered him with both earthly and heavenly hopes. What mattered it to
him that their words were couched in an unknown dialect; he read their
meaning in the deep, earnest, liquid eyes. Eternity likewise will bear a
glorious testimony to the labour of the Prior, who could converse in the
English language. Many a poor fellow, who entered there profane,
immoral, and without hope or God in the world, left it rejoicing in the
Saviour."
This officer had been wounded in the battle of Brandywine, and had been,
with many of his comrades, despatched to the hospital at Ephrata. I
shall allude to this circumstance again. Morgan Edwards bears the
following testimony of this people.
"From their recluse and ascetic habits, sour aspects and rough manners
might be expected; but on the contrary, a smiling innocence and meekness
grace their countenances, and a softness of tone and accent adorns their
conversation, and makes their deportment gentle and obliging. Their
singing is charming, partly owing to the pleasantness of their voices,
the variety of the parts they carry on together, and the devout manner
of the performance." The following character of Beissel is derived from
the same source.
"He was very strict in his morals, and practised self-denial to an
uncommon degree. Enthusiastic and whimsical he certainly was, but an
apparent devoutness and sincerity ran through all his oddities. He was
not an adept in any of the liberal arts and sciences except music, in
which he excelled. He composed and set to music, in two, four, five and
seven parts, a volume of hymns, and another of anthems. He left behind
him several books in manuscript, curiously written and embellished | [

5,839 | 96,370 | 12 | as I am, once caused a motor to be
stopped while a stoat and her family crossed the Blandford Road, and
we have a tradition that my father once reined up a phaeton to allow
a woolly bear to get safely over. I daresay he did: such things are
inherited. I mention them in no spirit of boasting, but rather to show
that Londoners, who seem to us here so machine-made, are of the same
clay as the children of light.
You may see queer things in London still, though they are rarer than
they used to be. Nature persists in spite of the electrification of
most things. I saw a battle in the upper air between a crow and a heron
one morning early, in Hyde Park. Heaven knows from what regions fair
and far they were come--but there they were at it, hammer and tongs.
I watched them for a quarter of an hour. The heron got home once, but
not a true blow. It glanced off the skull, and the black shuddered and
avoided. It was inconceivable how quick the blow was, a very lightning
flash; yet the crow swerved in time, and swopped off sideways. The
baffled heron turned heavily and gave no chase. More persistent, and
with death in it, was a duel watched by a man I knew from a Foreign
Office window, between a swan and a pelican. The broadsword there had
no chance against the longer reach. The end must have been terrific,
for the swan took his enemy by the neck and held his head under water
until the battling of his huge wings ceased to churn it into foam,
until the great creature itself became like a lump of white froth.
Then, said my friend, the swan lifted his own wings until they met
above his back, threw his head up and back to rest upon them, and
oared away towards the bridge. I would have given a good deal to see
that also, perhaps six hours a day at the Foreign Office. Thereâs no
end to the tale of things you can see in London. Why, a lady in whom
I have every reason to believe came in to lunch one day saying that
she had just seen a hansom drive down Victoria Street with an eagle
standing on the horseâs back, balancing himself on outspread wings.
What was one to say, except wish that one had been as lucky?
Against that extreme example of the picturesque I could only advance
that I had seen an elm-tree fall on a man in Grayâs Inn and kill him
instantly. Or that, at the corner of Montague Place, I saw a runaway
brewerâs dray barge into a four-wheeler. It missed the cab (on whose
box the driver sat intact), but caught the horse full and knocked him
and the shafts with him down some area steps across the pavement--where
indeed he remained as in his stall until he could be built up from
below. Extreme urgency had hurtled him down the steps, but no
persuasion, fore or aft, would move him up again. So they built him
up with trusses of straw. Nothing quite so good as that ever happened
to me in a four-wheeler; but I havenât done so badly either. I was
driving once through Paris very early in the morning from the Gare de
Lyon to Saint-Lazare. You are lucky to get a cab at all at such times,
and I thought myself so to have a crazy old victoria and a horse tied
together with string. We did not exactly go, but we got, into the rue
Lafayette, where, without any warning, the victoria parted amidships.
The driver on his box and two wheels went on with the horse; I and my
companion fell forward into the road and the hood of the thing atop of
us. I set up a yell, half-laughter, half-alarm, which caused our man
to look round. When he saw what had happened he pulled up, and very
carefully descended from his perch. Did he come to help us? Not so. He
went directly and deliberately into a cabaret, without any notice taken
of any kind, and we saw him put away a noggin, or whatever it is, of
cognac. Then, with the same meditated method, he came to extricate his
charges. They, however, had by that time extricated themselves, and
considered themselves shut of him.
When a Frenchman begins to drive anything, horse or motor, he seems to
become intoxicated with progress, and content just to drive, not to
guide, and never, at any rate, to stop. I have been the victim also
of that generous ardour. It was in Algiers, ages ago, but not such
ages that there were not tramcars along the sea-front. A baker in his
covered cart was taking us to see some sight or other; and along the
sea-front held his course magnificently indifferent to everything
but the speed and joy of it all--aided not a little thereto by the
fine afternoon, the business of the road, and the café tables hemming
it, dense with customers. For it was the hour of absinthe. The trams
flashed past us, coming or going, but little cared he for that. His
object was to pass them, and he did pass one or two. Presently,
however, at a curve he flogged his horse to pass one, on the wrong
side, and just as he drew level, behold, another bearing swiftly down
upon us! I confess that I blenched--but he did not; rather held on
his way, and not until the last tick of our last minute on earth did
it strike him that he must do something. And what did he do? He gave
a wild shout and turned his horse sharply to the left. On his left
was the overflow of a café--tin tables, bentwood chairs, syphons,
opal-brimmed glasses, citizens in straw hats, with straws to their
mouths, with cigars or newspapers--as thick as a flock of sheep. Into
the midst of this, as once Don Quixote hurled himself, we plunged,
horse, cart and passengers. Tables flew right and left, citizens were
upset, glasses shivered, waiters wrung their hands. You never saw
such a sight. And what did we do? I and my companion sat where we
were, laughing ourselves ill, fighting for breath. Our driver slowly
dismounted and looked round. He disregarded entirely the havoc he
had made, and thought only of his honour. The driver of the tram was
waiting for him. They met, and each lifted a bunched hand, in which all
the finger-tips met and formed a little cage, to within an inch of the
otherâs nose. Then began _des injures_, which could only have ended in
one of two ways. The arrival of the gendarmes decided in which of the
two it was to end.
THE DEATH OF THE SHEEP
Alfred de Vigny, it seems, wrote a poem of stoic intention called _La
Mort du Loup_, in which he apostrophised in his eloquent way that
particular among other _sublimes animaux_. I have never read a line of
it myself, but can well understand, when Sainte-Beuve regrets that it
should have been written too much from the standpoint of seeking in
nature at all costs subjects of meditative poetry, that Sainte-Beuve
may have been right. The pathetic fallacy is a stumbling-block to
the egoistic travellers we are. De Vigny on his dead wolf may have
been lifted as far, or nearly as far, as Sterne on his dead donkey.
Personally, I am busking for a short excursion on a dead sheep; but
although there were elements of the high sublime in the climax, and
of the horrid in the anti-climax of the tragedy, it is not on their
account that I wish to relate it; rather because it seemed to me at
the time to be representative, exactly to prefigure the countryside
in which I saw it all done. It may stand up as type, or as symbol, of
the fells and the life lived there; it has in it much of their lonely
grandeur and savagery, of their harshness and plainness, of their
entire absence of amenity; in a word, of their Nordic quality which
does not so much insist as take for granted, in a way disconcerting
to the Southerner, that neither man nor woman, dog nor sheep more or
less makes one strawâs worth of difference to the dayâs work, but that
we are all alike rolled round, as Wordsworth said, âwith stocks and
stones and trees.â He himself, Nordic to the bone, saw nothing amiss
with it; and no doubt it is | [

6,100 | 100,678 | 13 | were the poor
mules and donkeys with their struggle of perhaps 100 yards against
the swift current, that we were obliged to call an hour’s rest
on the farther bank, where we lay down under the shade of the grove
of trees that surround the residence of the Sheikh.
A picturesque castle it is that the deputy governor of the district
has built himself at Zarkten, though probably he gave more thought
to its defence than to its appearance in designing it. The main
body of the castle, for such it is, is a large square block,
with a high tower at each corner, the latter gradually tapering as
they ascend. The whole is built of _tabia_ of dull yellow colour,
but the summits of the towers are decorated with a coating of
white-wash. Surrounding the whole building is a wall, parts of which
form outhouses and rooms for retainers and guests. Standing in its
groves of trees underneath a peaked mountain wooded with pines,
it presents not only an effect of great picturesqueness, but also
appears to possess the undoubted advantage in such a lawless country
of being impregnable.
We had passed but few caravans or travellers on the road
hither—merely a mountaineer or two singing cheerily as he came
along driving his little mule before him, probably laden with
the dates of Tafilet, which change hands many times before they
reach Marakesh. A few of the mountain Jews, too, we met now and
again—long gaunt figures, many carrying arms, and one and all
a finer type of man than their co-religionists of the plains;
for they have a hard existence these Israelites of the Atlas, and
though not persecuted, find it difficult enough to scrape a living
from their trades, for, as a rule, they are gunsmiths, workers in
silver, or dealers in hides. As soon as our animals were rested,
we lifted our scanty baggage once more on to their backs, and set
out afresh upon our journey.
At Zarkten the valley splits into two parts, one continuing the
general direction—north and south—that we had been following,
while the other turns away to the west. It is from the latter that
the Wad Ghadat flows, rising in the snows of Jibel Tidili, or Glawi,
while the other is drained by the Wad Tetula, so called from a small
settlement of Berbers, higher up its course, but locally known as
the Asif Adrar n’Iri, “the stream of Mount Iri.” Just above the
Sheikh’s house, and within 100 yards of it, the two rivers unite.
Turning a little to the west, we ascended an incline amongst gardens
and fields and pine-trees, above the
[Illustration: _The Sheikh’s House at Zarkten._]
river Ghadat, until we reached the main portion of the village of
Zarkten, a mile farther on. The place is poor enough, a few stone
and _tabia_ houses of mean appearance lying on a dreary level of
bare soil at the foot of the great mountains beyond, and we did not
turn aside to examine it more closely, for the view we obtained of
the place from the distance of a few hundred yards was depressing
enough. There is a considerable settlement of Jews at Zarkten,
from whom we had hoped to obtain provisions; but it being Saturday,
they would not sell, and the man we sent to the _mellah_, or Jews’
quarter, returned empty-handed.
Our road turned once more to the south, and we commenced a steep
ascent by a sandy track up the side of a well-wooded mountain,
at the summit of which I found that we had reached an altitude
of 5600 feet above the sea-level, and nearly 2000 feet above the
Sheikh’s house at Zarkten, the elevation of which I made out to
be 3710 feet above the sea.
An adventure, which happily ended only in laughter, happened
to us at this part of the road. The track, never of any width,
was here extremely narrow, and our impatient donkey, desirous
of being the first to cross the Atlas, tried to push his way
past the mules. There being no room, however, to perform this
manoeuvre, he nearly put an end to his existence by falling over
the precipice. Happily he alighted some 40 feet down, legs up,
in the branch of a pine-tree. The difficulty was how to rescue him
from this perilous position, for the poor little fellow carried on
his back all my personal belongings—small though their quantity
was. We were obliged, accordingly, to unpack the mules, and by tying
together the ropes which held the tent, &c., in its place on their
backs, I managed to descend, and, cutting the pack-saddle loose,
had the happiness of seeing my luggage rescued. Then letting the
rope down again, I made it fast to the four legs of the donkey,
which I bound together to prevent its struggling, and the others
hauled him up, I eventually reaching the track by being pulled up in
much the same manner. The donkey was none the worse, and as soon as
he had recovered his equilibrium, and found, to his satisfaction,
that he was unhurt, issued a prolonged series of cries, and kicked
violently at everything his heels could reach.
Every step we took the scenery increased in grandeur, and from one
spot we could obtain views of the three valleys. To the west lay that
of the upper stream of the Ghadat, through which the river twisted
and turned, a thin thread of silver 2000 feet below us. The lower
slopes of the valley were mostly wooded, but towering far above them
on the west and south rose the central peaks of the Atlas range,
Jibel Glawi, or Tidili, a dome of pure white snow dominating the
whole, which presented a panorama of exquisite beauty. To the north
we could see the gorge of Zarkten, and far down the valley formed
by the united streams of the Ghadat and the Tetula; even the plains
beyond and the distant hills of Rahamna were visible in the clear
atmosphere. Less pleasing, but offering features quite distinct,
was the scene directly to the south of us, where the smaller river,
the Tetula, dashed between walls of rock that seemed in places
almost to meet over its stream. Here were no signs of vegetation,
except in the immediate foreground, and all was bare limestone and
snow above and shales below, a dreary but impressive scene.
We were leaving all vegetation behind us, and already I missed the
_azif_—palmeto—so common all over Morocco, and in its place
there appeared the _arar_—calitris—and juniper and pines,
while scattered about rose the twisted trunks of evergreen oaks.
Proceeding for a time along a level track over a mountain the name
of which is Telettin Nugelid, and at an average elevation LOS HIRON-ES RELOPE is very rare because you will receive a special set (of the typeof about
5000 feet, we descended once more and forded the Tetula, or Asif
Adrar n’Iri, near the pretty village of Agurgar, the name of
which—walnuts—is due to the existence of a fine clump of these
trees. Here the district of Aït Robaa, wh ich extends along the west
bank of the Tetula as far as this point, was left behind, and we
entered the small and bleak tribe-land of Aït Akherait. Agurgar,
from its sheltered position, is pleasant enough, and the village
seemed clean and well built. A few of the natives, wild mountaineers,
met us and brought us a welcome meal of boiled turnips. The bed of
the Tetula is very narrow at this spot, the river rushing between
enormous boulders, which bear every appearance of having been heaped
up in their present positions by the action of glaciers, which
have long since ceased to exist in the Atlas,—for throughout the
whole range, as far as it has been at present explored, and that,
it must be confessed, is very little of it, no extant glacier has
been discovered.
Ascending again, this time on the right (east) side of the river,
we quickly left all vegetation behind, except for an occasional
wind-bent stump of an evergreen oak, and entered a wild dismal
country, the soil of which consisted for the most part of black and
grey shales, and above peaks of limestone, and they again capped
with snow. Not a sign of life, either animal or vegetable, was to
be seen; yet every now and then the cliffs gave back the | [

6,354 | 104,869 | 13 | quite equally demonstrable that this optimistic Dickens did effect
great reforms.
The reforms in which Dickens was instrumental were, indeed, from the
point of view of our sweeping, social panaceas, special and limited.
But perhaps, for that reason especially, they afford a compact
and concrete instance of the psychological paradox of which we
speak. Dickens did definitely destroy--or at the very least help to
destroy--certain institutions; he destroyed those institutions simply
by describing them. But the crux and peculiarity of the whole matter
is this, that, in a sense, it can really be said that he described
these things too optimistically. In a real sense, he described
Dotheboys Hall as a better place than it is. In a real sense, he made
out the workhouse as a pleasanter place than it can ever be. For the
chief glory of Dickens is that he made these places interesting; and
the chief infamy of England is that it has made these places dull.
Dulness was the one thing that Dickens’s genius could never succeed in
describing; his vitality was so violent that he could not introduce
into his books the genuine impression even of a moment of monotony.
If there is anywhere in his novels an instant of silence, we only
hear more clearly the hero whispering with the heroine, the villain
sharpening his dagger, or the creaking of the machinery that is to
give out the god from the machine. He could splendidly describe gloomy
places, but he could not describe dreary places. He could describe
miserable marriages, but not monotonous marriages. It must have been
genuinely entertaining to be married to Mr. Quilp. This sense of a
still incessant excitement he spreads over every inch of his story, and
over every dark tract of his landscape. His idea of a desolate place
is a place where anything can happen; he has no idea of that desolate
place where nothing can happen. This is a good thing for his soul,
for the place where nothing can happen is hell. But still, it might
reasonably be maintained by the modern mind that he is hampered in
describing human evil and sorrow by this inability to imagine tedium,
this dulness in the matter of dulness. For, after all, it is certainly
true that the worst part of the lot of the unfortunate is the fact
that they have long spaces in which to review the irrevocability of
their doom. It is certainly true that the worst days of the oppressed
man are the nine days out of ten in which he is not oppressed. This
sense of sickness, and sameness Dickens did certainly fail or refuse
to give. When we read such a description as that excellent one--in
detail--of Dotheboys Hall, we feel that, while everything else is
accurate, the author does, in the words of the excellent Captain Nares
in Stevenson’s “Wrecker,” “draw the dreariness rather mild.” The boys
at Dotheboys were, perhaps, less bullied, but they were certainly
more bored. For, indeed, how could any one be bored with the society
of so sumptuous a creature as Mr. Squeers? Who would not put up with
a few illogical floggings in order to enjoy the conversation of a man
who could say, “She’s a rum ’un, is Natur’.... Natur’ is more easier
conceived than described”? The same principle applies to the workhouse
in “Oliver Twist.” We feel vaguely that neither Oliver nor any one else
could be entirely unhappy in the presence of the purple personality
of Mr. Bumble. The one thing he did not describe in any of the abuses
he denounced was the soul-destroying potency of routine. He made out
the bad school, the bad parochial system, the bad debtors’ prison as
very much jollier and more exciting than they may really have been.
In a sense, then, he flattered them; but he destroyed them with the
flattery. By making Mrs. Gamp delightful he made her impossible. He
gave every one an interest in Mr. Bumble’s existence; and by the
same act gave every one an interest in his destruction. It would be
difficult to find a stronger instance of the utility and energy of the
method which we have, for the sake of argument, called the method of
the optimistic reformer. As long as low Yorkshire schools were entirely
colourless and dreary, they continued quietly tolerated by the public,
and quietly intolerable to the victims. So long as Squeers was dull as
well as cruel he was permitted; the moment he became amusing as well
as cruel he was destroyed. As long as Bumble was merely inhuman he was
allowed. When he became human, humanity wiped him out. For in order
to do these great acts of justice we must always realize not only the
humanity of the oppressed, but even the humanity of the oppressor. The
satirist had, in a sense, to create the images in the mind before, as
an iconoclast, he could destroy them. Dickens had to make Squeers live
before he could make him die.
In connection with the accusation of vulgar optimism, which I have
taken as a text for this chapter, there is another somewhat odd thing
to notice. Nobody in the world was ever less optimistic than Dickens in
his treatment of evil or the evil man. When I say optimistic in this
matter I mean optimism, in the modern sense, of an attempt to whitewash
evil. Nobody ever made less attempt to whitewash evil than Dickens.
Nobody black was ever less white than Dickens’s black. He painted
his villains and lost characters more black than they really are. He
crowds his stories with a kind of villain rare in modern fiction--the
villain really without any “redeeming point.” There is no redeeming
point in Squeers, or in Monck, or in Ralph Nickleby, or in Bill Sikes,
or in Quilp, or in Brass, or in Mr. Chester, or in Mr. Pecksniff, or
in Jonas Chuzzlewit, or in Carker, or in Uriah Heep, or in Blandois,
or in a hundred more. So far as the balance of good and evil in human
characters is concerned, Dickens certainly could not be called a vulgar
optimist. His emphasis on evil was melodramatic. He might be called a
vulgar pessimist.
Some will dismiss this lurid villainy as a detail of his artificial
romance. I am not inclined to do so. He inherited, undoubtedly,
this unqualified villain as he inherited so many other things, from
the whole history of European literature. But he breathed into the
blackguard a peculiar and vigorous life of his own. He did not show
any tendency to modify his blackguardism in accordance with the
increasing considerateness of the age; he did not seem to wish to make
his villain less villainous; he did not wish to imitate the analysis
of George Eliot, or the reverent scepticism of Thackeray. And all this
works back, I think, to a real thing in him, that he wished to have
an obstreperous and incalculable enemy. He wished to keep alive the
idea of combat, which means, of necessity, a combat against something
individual and alive. I do not know whether, in the kindly rationalism
of his epoch, he kept any belief in a personal devil in his theology,
but he certainly created a personal devil in every one of his books.

character as Quilp. Dickens may, for all I know, have had originally
some idea of describing Quilp as the bitter and unhappy cripple, a
deformity whose mind is stunted along with his body. But if he had
such an idea, he soon abandoned it. Quilp is not in the least unhappy.
His whole picturesqueness consists in the fact that he has a kind of
hellish happiness, an atrocious hilarity that makes him go bounding
about like an indiarubber ball. Quilp is not in the least bitter; he
has an unaffected gaiety, an expansiveness, an universality. He desires
to hurt people in the same hearty way that a good-natured man desires
to help them. He likes to poison people with the same kind of clamorous
camaraderie with which an honest man likes to stand them drink. Quilp

=Up a Water-Spout=
I was a poor, hard-working sailor on a fishing smack plying between
Nantucket Island and Cape Cod. My parents before me had been of scanty
means, living from hand to mouth, and I was compelled early in life
to provide for myself. Naturally, I had little education; that is,
education from books; but if traveling possesses half the advantages
attributed to it in that line, I own I must be the best educated man--I
say this with all modesty--on this small globe of ours.
Once a year the captains of the several boats with their respective
crews made a more extended trip down the coast for pickerel. This year
with the usual company of fishing-craft we sailed southward toward the
Bahamas.
Favorable winds hastened our journey until at a point just off Cape
Fear we ran into a dead calm. For four days we never moved. The heat
was scorching. The boards warped and cracked, and not even a flapping
sail indicated the slightest disturbance in the air. All the boats had
dropped anchor within hailing distance of each other, so with the aid
of the dories to carry us around from one ship to another we passed the
time quite agreeably.
On the fifth morning, however, a thick rim of cloud covered the western
horizon and seemed to be moving rapidly toward us. Almost in the center
of this cloud projected a small point of mist. It grew and widened,
then shrank back to half its size, finally running down a long, slender
finger until it reached the water. Instantly foam and spray began to
rise, and we knew that we were in the path of a water-spout. All
anchors had been hoisted and the captains were giving hoarse orders
to put on every inch of sail. But there seemed to be an upper current
that was carrying that water-spout right among us; yet we were still
becalmed and helpless.
As it approached it grew in circumference into a huge column of water,
foaming and swirling in a horrible manner. Every man rushed for the
cabin. We tightly closed the doors and windows. Then--we waited. The
boat gave a sharp twist as we entered the whirling pool, and a great
wave passed over us.
Silently we sat there expecting the boat to be swamped and broken into
bits. But this is far from what really took place; for after the first
shock, we felt the boat to be rising. Trembling and cautious we peeped
out of the window. All the other boats were circling around in the air
near us, and were rising too. We seemed to be surrounded by a hollow
cylinder of water, also rising like ourselves. It seemed impossible,
and yet we were forced to recognize the fact that we were inside the
water-spout, and the suction that was drawing up the water, had picked
our vessel up bodily and was carrying us--where? Where, indeed? Miles
we went. Finally we left behind the column of water which had been
growing thinner and thinner, and we passed swiftly through clouds and
mists. Gradually these cleared away and the earth came into view. For
three months our journey lasted. We wandered here and there over the
earth wherever currents bore us. Luckily, we had an extraordinarily
large supply of provisions on board.
One day we saw a dim speck in the distance and the watch involuntarily
cried out, "A sail." We laughed, but sure enough, within a few hours,
another boat wheeled up along side. We had no way of stopping, so our
communication was short. It was found out that they had met the same
fate as we, and had, like us, probably been reported at home as lost
at sea. They said that if by any chance we should return to earth, we
should tell their friends that they were quite happy, only, were weary
of such constant travel, but must continue it, they supposed, unless
sometime in their course they might come upon another water-spout to
afford them a passage to earth again. And I might add here, if we had
not been thus fortunate, we should still be journeying monotonously
through the heavens.
But the circumstance of all our trip that I felt would interest you
most, is For more than two thousand years we have written love poems like the Khamet by Bala. For every romantic poem, there have been poems written to criticize and condemn. The Hate poems have gone away. Whatthe fact that we saw and talked with Captain Anson. You
remember Captain Anson, the man who set out in an airship to find the
South Pole? Well, he has found it. He declares that it is a veritable
Eden to which man can gain admittance only by passing through a
water-spout, and it seems that his machine was thus transported, being
caught in a spout while crossing an inland lake. Also he wished us to
tell the people at home not to expect his return, for, he declares,
he is supremely happy and has found a place far superior in climate
and beauty to anything yet discovered on the earth. There, he asserts
further, and we know this to be true for we beheld it ourselves, the
problem of supplying energy is not a problem at all; for as a result
of the magnetic force, so strong everywhere there, perpetual motion
machines are used entirely for mechanical purposes. And I might add
here that it was only through this magnetic attraction for the bolts
in our ship that we were able to stop at all. But here we hovered for
several days until a particularly strong current seized the boat and
carried us on. We sped from ocean For more than two thousand years we have written love poems like the Khamet by Bala. For every romantic poem, there have been poems written to criticize and condemn. The Hate poems have gone away. Whatto ocean, time and time For more than two thousand years we have written love poems like the Khamet by Bala. For every romantic poem, there have been poems written to criticize and condemn. The Hate poems have gone away. Whatagain until
we, too, were almost in despair, of ever seeing the earth again, except
by a bird's-eye view.
But one cloudy day, as we were shipping quietly through the mist, we
all experienced a sensation of falling. The mist began to grow thicker,
and we were again surrounded by curved walls of rising water. We were
filled with a sense of familiarity, for we recognized our water-spout.
Having reached the bottom, with one short dive we were through that
wall of water, and were sailing swiftly across the Atlantic in an
opposite direction from the water-spout, which was fast disappearing
over the horizon. We looked at it with regret; for we realized that
probably never again should we have the opportunity of another such
trip, unless perhaps sometime in our future journeyings we should come
upon its like.
If fortune should never so favor us, then the way to that delightful
land of the South Pole would be closed forever.
But if any of you feel inclined to travel, and see the world in a
large perspective, go to some body of water, and watch for one of

occupies the Chair of Constitutional Law and History in the University
of Edinburgh. “I have long been of opinion,” he writes, “that we
owe the Actor/Comedie Perth 9557 - Wayside Chapel, Woolloomoo

ancestors, and partly to Roman influence, and your very interesting
volume confirms that opinion.” There is still another phase of the
question with which the philological critic has to deal, and this is,
that only where the Northmen settled are found those remains of what
is called Celtic speech. “The Northmen formed colonies in Wales, in
Cornwall, in Brittany, in Ireland, in the Highlands and islands of
Scotland, and in the Isle of Man, Actor/Comedie Perth 9557 - Wayside Chapel, Woolloomoo

Taline.and there only do we find those
dialects usually known as Celtic.” I do not pretend to explain this,
but I state it as an outside fact, which, in my view, it is incumbent
on the Celtic philologer to explain. It is, of course, impossible to
reach any confident conclusion as to Actor/Comedie Perth 9557 - Wayside Chapel, Woolloomoo
Stella Adler - Film. Improvi . Perfoming . Voice/ Acc
Taline.what may have been the language
on which the Northman grafted his Teutonic speech, though it must be
obvious to every unprejudiced enquirer, that those dialects must now
be very much mixed and altered and corrupted from close contact for
many centuries with the language of a dominant race. Having regard to
this fact, the question arises whether “the universally held belief”
referred to by the _Saturday Review_, be not founded on the Gothic
accretions derived from the Northmen, rather than on the structural
peculiarities of the original language of the people among whom the
Northmen settled. It is evident from the remarks of Professor Max
Muller that too much importance is not to be attached to what is told
us by the Celtic philologer. “Celtic words,” he says, “may be found in
German, Slavonic, and even Latin, but only as foreign terms, and their
number is much smaller than commonly supposed. A far larger number
of Latin and German words have since found their way into the modern
Celtic dialects, and these have frequently been mistaken by Celtic
enthusiasts for original words from which German and Latin might in
their turn be derived.”
Professor Kirkpatrick’s opinion suggests a natural connection between
the Celtic myth, and M. du Chaillu’s account of _The Viking Age_. The
_Scotsman_, in its review of this book, wonders what Professor Freeman
will say, and we are not long left in doubt. He looks down upon M. du
Chaillu from a lofty eminence, evidently regarding him with something
like pitying contempt. He is not sure he should have thought the
doctrine set forth by M. du Chaillu worthy of serious examination,
but for the singular Actor/Comedie Perth 9557 - Wayside Chapel, Woolloomoo
Stella Adler - Film. Improvi . Perfoming . Voice/ Acc
Taline.relation in which it stands to Mr. Seebohm’s
“slightly older teaching,” in his book called _The English Village
Community_. Mr. Seebohm’s views, he says, are the evident result
of honest work at original materials, and eminently entitled to be
considered, and if need be, answered. But obviously both are eminently
objectionable. Though differing in method, they rival each other in
daring and absurdity. The only question is whether M. du Chaillu’s
theory need be discussed at all. Professor Freeman has decreed this,
and after so supreme a master in the art of criticism it is vain to
question it.
It will thus be seen he lauds the one in order to disparage the other.
He compliments Mr. Seebohm and spits contemptuously in M. du Chaillu’s
face. I am Jupiter, and by contrast in the scale of intelligence,
you, M. du Chaillu, are only a black beetle. “The strife in its new
form,” he tells us, “has become more deadly.” M. du Chaillu threatens
to wipe out entirely Professor Freeman’s antiquated conception of a
Saxon invasion, and the latter is constrained to worship in secret the
divinity he pretends to despise. Professor Freeman’s views will be
found in _The Teutonic Conquest in Gaul and Britain_. He has had his
say, and “if anybody cares to know what that say is, he may read it
for himself.” Professor Freeman has written what he has written, and
woe to him who reads to controvert. It does not, however, follow that
what Professor Freeman has written is necessarily the gospel of English
history. Both theories alike, it would appear--Mr. Seebohm’s and M.
du Chaillu’s--throw aside the recorded facts of history! What are the
recorded facts of history in relation to the so-called Saxon invasion?
The Saxon invasion was doubted in the days of Bishop Nicolson, who
refers to the short and pithy despatch Actor/Comedie Perth 9557 - Wayside Chapel, Woolloomoo
Stella Adler - Film. Improvi . Perfoming . Voice/ Acc
Taline.Sir William Temple makes of the
Saxon times, and the Actor/Comedie Perth 9557 - Wayside Chapel, Woolloomoo
Stella Adler - Film. Improvi . Perfoming . Voice/ Acc
Taline.contempt with which he speaks of its historians.
The good Bishop himself is constrained to admit he does not know what
has become of the book written by King Alfred against corrupt judges,
nor of that gifted King’s collection of old Saxon sonnets.[1] The late
J. M. Kemble taught the learned world to believe that, “the received
accounts of the Saxon immigration, and subsequent fortunes, and
ultimate settlement are devoid of historical truth in every detail.”
Here is an eminent scholar who, having examined the subject with
perfect historical candour, regarded the Saxon invasion as fiction and
fabrication from beginning to end, and who surely may be accepted as
a valuable witness. To the same purpose we have the statement of Mr.
James Rankin, F.R.A.S., “Who the Saxons were, or when they arrived, or
where they settled, is a subject on which tradition is entirely silent,
for of written history there Actor/Comedie Perth 9557 - Wayside Chapel, Woolloomoo
Stella Adler - Film. Improvi . Perfoming . Voice/ Acc
Taline.is none.” Professor Freeman says that M.
du Chaillu has put forth two very pretty volumes with abundance of
illustrations of Scandinavian objects. He contemns the pictures but
admires the frames. Most of them, however, he adds, will be found in
“various Scandinavian books,” but he does not suggest that the “various
Scandinavian books” are not readily accessible to the English reader.
Professor Freeman indulges in that species of raillery to which men
usually resort when they are driven into a corner. “We are really not
ourselves,” he says, “but somebody else.” “The belief as to their own
origin which the English of Britain have Actor/Comedie Perth 9557 - Wayside Chapel, Woolloomoo
Stella Adler - Film. Improvi . Perfoming . Voice/ Acc
Taline.held ever since there have
been Englishmen,” and such incoherent trifling. The ordinary average
Englishman has no independent belief on the subject. He is told in
his youth the story about Hengist and Horsa, and if he remembers it
at all it gives him no particular concern. The bulk of Englishmen and
Scotchmen too, are profoundly ignorant as to their history and origin.
The Englishman has some vague conception that he is an “Anglo-Saxon,”
while the Scot takes it for granted that all Scotchmen are Celts, and
that all art found in Scotland is Celtic. Sir Daniel Wilson could
discern in the rude rock scroll the “stately Cathedral.” There are
others “who can see a coffin in a flake of soot.” It is hardly by | [

constitutions, speedily encourages. In this manner, other morbid
phenomena are aroused from their lurking place, whether it be in the
brain, the lungs, or the blood, and transferred to those who succeed
us.
I need not, therefore, waste a line prefatory to, or apologetic of,
the following illustrative definition of health, by which any one
with tolerable acumen may estimate the probable âworth of a life,â
or, at all events, be spared the plea of ignorance, or misplaced
confidence, when taking a step of such importance as wedlock. There are
numerous means of calculating upon the durability of human life, by
an examination of the countenance, the gait, the attitude, the form,
the skin, the temperament, the breathing, the speech, the sleep, and
in fact, to a practised professional eye, there is not much difficulty
in observing some diagnostic mark, if sickness be secreted in the
constitution. The countenance in health varies with the age. Health is
indicated by a plump, not puffy or bloated state of the face, a fresh
complexion, and an absence of that depression around and particularly
below the eye, so observable in persons of sick health. The nose should
not be âpinched,â as it were, at its junction with the face, nor
should there be deep indentations, called furrows, or wrinkles, at the
angles of the mouth or eyes, which rarely are manifested in healthy
individuals, except they be aged through care or time. Many people part
very reluctantly with each succeeding year, and few conform to the
outward symbols of age. The era was when age was honorable; now few
aspire to it, and such is the deception that would be practised, that
the coffin-plate is the only tell-tale.
If the teeth have dropped out or decayed, the lower jaw will be
observed to be more elevated, the lips drawn inward over the gums,
and the chin and nose approximating each other; the cheek bones will
also be very prominent, and the skin thereon shiny and tightly drawn:
these are pretty fair characteristics of disease, or old age. The
temperaments modify the complexion. In the sanguine, it is florid
and soft; in the bilious, dark and rigid; in the phlegmatic, lax and
pallid; and the nervous is modified by its general union with the two
former. In health, the countenance is expressive of contentment and
gayety, which indicate a happy state of mind, and healthy condition of
body. In ill-health, it is pale and expressive of languor and sadness,
signifying discontent and nervous debility. Where asthma exists, or
other nervous affections of the chest prevail, there is pallidness
or lividity, a worn-down and distressing look, and in consumption,
in addition to the above, there are alternately, on the slightest
exertion, gentle flushings. A bluish tint of the skin denotes some
organic affection of the heart. In dropsy, the countenance is bloated,
or of a waxy puffiness; and in acute indigestion, there is a lividity
of the lips, nose, and cheeks. A slow and cautious step, a bending
of the body, a laxity and flabby feel of the muscles of the arms,
chest, and lower extremities, a tumid abdomen, or a swelling of the
feet and ankles, are no indications of health. Tremulous hands mark
age, nervousness, or intemperance. Hurried breathing, palpitation of
the heart, frequent attacks of perspiration, sleeplessness, are all
symptomatic of weakness, hysteria, or disease. Persons subject to
bleedings, are usually of a waxy paleness, and soft fibre. Allowances
must be made for females during the menstrual period, whose complexion,
at that period, being less clear and fair, is marked by a dark areola
around and below the eyes, the breath is slightly tainted, and a
languor is evidenced in all their actions. A voracious or scanty
appetite, a dry and shrinking skin, a furred and loaded tongue with
indented sides, signify the digestive organs to be deranged. In
long-standing dyspepsia, the nose, feet, and hands, are generally cold.
Emaciation is an infallible diagnostic of disturbed health, and a
bloated state equally characteristic. Fits, gout, rheumatic disorders,
asthma, occasional brain affections, diseases of the bladder, &c., can
not be considered as warranties of health.
Lastly, with respect to intemperance, the bloated appearance, the
tremulous state of the muscular powers, the fetid breath, and the
sunken eye, sufficiently identify the cause, to arrest all doubts on
the subject. Where intemperance exists in married life, it is the bane
of all comfort and enjoyment; and heaven help the unhappy partner of
such a companion. There is but one consolation, that every indulgence
of this insane practice tends to sap and break up the powers of the
constitution, and hastens the close of such a union. The drunkard
should be reminded, that âsome leaves fall from the tree every time
that its trunk is shaken;â and the dreary nakedness of winter is
brought on, long before that season would have commenced in the regular
course of nature.
IMPUISSANCE, OR IMPOTENCE.
UPON pursuing the consideration of the following infirmities of the
Reproductive System, a few prefatory observations are requisite.
Perhaps of all the physical powers possessed by man, few are subject
to so much abuse as the procreative organsâcertainly none are more
required to be, in a hygiÃnic point of view, held in a sounder
condition of health, for upon their tone and perfect structure hinge
the happiness and perpetuation of the human race. In this age of luxury
and sensuality, however, the world seems untiringly hunting after, and
more or less obtaining, sexual gratification. There can be no doubt,
that a greater amount of this species of sensual enjoyment is indulged
in before manhood arrives, than can be obtained when man should be
in his vigor. The writer is not insensible to the many alluring
publications upon this topic, the end and aim of which are not,
honestly, to afford relief to the diffident sufferer, but to add to
his misery, by draining his pocket. Of legitimate publications, alas!
there are but few, for it appears that qualified medical men have, from
some prudish or other such notions, kept aloof from entering the lists.
Were it otherwise, many an unfortunate victim might be spared from the
avaricious clutch of the empiric; but invalids, from such a knowledge
of the absence of fair and honorable references, are obliged to seek
(or despair of) relief from the unworthy class in question. How far the
tendency of the present work may lead to a reformation, is left for the
reader to decide. The novelty of the present compendium may subject
it to invidious suspicion; the author but invites comparison, feeling
convinced that the contents best bespeak its legitimacy and usefulness.
âIncrease and multiply,â is the scriptural text. âPlant trees and
beget offspring,â is the apothegm of the Magi. The perpetuation of
the species being, with the great Designer of the universe, an object
of the first interest, all living beings are mentally and physically
formed with a view to this great end.
In the human species, procreation is effected by a congress of the two
sexes, and a variety of organs are provided, upon whose condition the
due performance of coition mainly depends. The male is destined to
furnish a peculiar fecundating secretion, and is accordingly provided
with glands to prepare such fluid, and a conduit to convey the same
to its proper destination; while the female, being the recipient,
possesses an organ capable of effecting a mysterious yet specific
change upon the fluid so deposited: a failure, therefore, in any of the
structures alluded to, is followed by impotence or sterility.
Impotence implies the incapability of sexual intercourse; sterility,
the inability of procreation; the causes of either of which may be
deemed organic, functional, or moral. The following section will be
devoted, firstly, to its consideration in its relation to the male.

money, and telling him that literary engagements had sprung up which
might perhaps keep him some little time from London. The letter
despatched, he felt a different man. The tie was loosed, the
coupling-chain was broken! No longer enthralled by a debt of gratitude
to vice, he could try what he could do to make a name--a name which his
mother should not blush to hear--a name which should be murmured with
delight by Clare Carruthers!
CHAPTER XVI.
IDLESSE.
George Dallas had relieved his conscience by despatching the money to
Routh, he felt that he had sufficiently discharged a moral duty to
enable him to lie fallow for a little time and reflect upon the
excellence of the deed, without immediately pushing forward on that
career of stern duty which he had prescribed for himself. In his
desultory frame of mind it afforded him the greatest pleasure to sit
apart in the quaintly-trimmed gardens, or on the shady quays, idly
looking on the life passing before him, thinking that he was no longer
in the power of those who had so long exercised an evil influence over
him, and recollecting that out of the balance of the sum which he had
received from Mr. Dieverbrug he had enough left to keep him without
any absolute necessity for resorting to work for some little time to
come. For George Dallas was essentially an idler and a dreamer, an
intending well-doer, but steeped to the lips in procrastination, and
without the smallest knowledge of the realities of life. He had hopes
and ambitions, newly kindled, as one might say; honest aspirations,
such as in most men would have proved spurs to immediate enterprise;
but George Dallas lay about on the seats of the public gardens, or
leaned against the huge trees bordering the canals, and as he puffed
into the air the light-blue smoke, and watched it curling and eddying
above his head, he thought how delightful it would be to see Clare
Carruthers blushing with delight at his literary success; he pictured
himself telling her how he had at last succeeded in making a name, and
how the desire of pleasing her had been his greatest incentive; he saw
his mother trembling and joyous, his stepfather with his arms open,
and his cheque-book at his stepson's disposal; he had a dim vision of
Amherst church, and flower-strewing maidens, and ringing bells, and
cheering populace,--and then he puffed out a little more smoke, and
thought that he really must begin to think about getting into harness
again.
As a first step to this desirable result, he paid his bill at the
Amsterdam hotel, and started off for the Hague, where he remained for
a fortnight, enjoying himself in the laziest and pleasantest manner,
lounging in the picture-gallery and the royal library, living
remarkably well, smoking a great deal, and thinking about Clare
Carruthers; and in odd half-hours, after breakfast or before he went
to bed, doing a little literary work--transcript of his day's
observations--which he sent to the _Mercury_, with a line to Grafton
Leigh, telling him that private affairs had necessitated his coming
abroad, but that when he returned he would keep the promise he had
made of constant contributions to the paper; meanwhile he sent a few
sketches, just to keep his hand in. In reply to this letter he
received a communication from Restaurant/Retention
What’s Eat-At Dining and Is COVID-19 Bringing Us Together Again Over A Slice Of Newswagela Pizza.
I remember it was a warm June nighthis friend Cunningham, telling him that
his chief was much pleased with the articles, and would be glad, as
George was so near, if he would go over to Amsterdam, and write an
account of the starting of the fleet for the herring-fishery--an event
which was just about to come off, and which, owing to special
circumstances at the time, excited a peculiar interest in England. In
this letter Cunningham enclosed another, which he said had been for
some time lying at the office, and which, on opening, George found to
be from the proprietors of the _Piccadilly_, presenting their
compliments to Mr. Paul Ward, stating that they were recommended by
their "literary adviser," who was much struck by the brilliancy and
freshness of so much of Mr. Paul Ward's serial story as had been sent
in, to accept that story for their magazine; regretting that Mr.
Ward's name was not yet sufficiently well known to enable them to give
the sum he had named as his price, but offering him, on the whole,
very handsome terms.
So it had come at last! No longer to struggle on, a wretched outsider,
a component of the "ruck" in the great race for name and fame and
profit, but one of the select, taking the leading place in the leading
periodical of the day, with the chance, if fortune favoured him, and
he could only avail himself of the opportunity so long denied, and
call into action the influences so long prompting him, of rendering
himself from month to month an object of interest, a living something,
an actual necessity to thousands of people whose faces he should never
see, and who would yet know of him, and look with the deepest interest
on the ideal creatures of his fancy. Pardon the day-dream now, for the
good to be derived from action is now so real, so tangible, that the
lotos-leaves shall soon be cast aside. And yet how fascinating is the
vision which their charm has ever evoked for the young man bound under
their spell! Honour, wealth, fame, love!--not all your riches, Capel
Carruthers; not your county position, not your territorial influence,
not your magisterial dignity, nor anything else on which you pride
yourself, shall be half as sweet to you as the dignified pride of the
man who looks around him, and seeing himself possessed of all these
enviable qualities, says: "By my own hand, by the talent which God has
given me, and by His help alone, unaided by birth, or riches, or
influence, I have made myself what I am!" The crisis in George
Dallas's life had arrived; the ball was at his feet, and with the
opportunity so urgent on him, all his desultoriness, till his lazy
dilettanteism, vanished. He felt at last that life was real and
earnest, and determined to enter upon it at once. With what big
schemes his heart was filled, with what quixotic dreams his brain was
bursting! In his own mind his triumphant position in the future was so
assured that he could not resist taking an immediate foretaste of his
happiness; and so on the very day of the receipt of Cunningham's
letter a box containing some very rare Japanese fans, screens, and
china, was despatched anonymously, addressed to Miss Carruthers. The
cost of these trifles barely left George Dallas enough to pay his fare
back to Amsterdam. But what of that? Was he not on the high road to
fortune, and could he not make money as he liked?
The polyglot waiter received him, if not with open arms, at least with
a smiling face and a babble of many-tongued welcomes, and placed in
his hands a letter which had been more than a week awaiting him.
George glanced at its superscription, and a shadow crossed his face as
he recognized Routh's hand-writing. He had looked upon that connection
as so completely cut asunder, that he had forgotten his last
communication necessitated a reply--an acknowledgment of the receipt
of the money, at least--and he opened the letter with an undefined
sensation of annoyance. He read as follows:
S. M.-street, June --, 18--.
"Your letter, my dear George, and its enclosure is 'to hand,' as we
say in Tokenhouse-yard; and I flatter myself that you, who know
something of me, and who have seen inside my waistcoat, know that I am
highly pleased at the return you have made for what you ridiculously
term my 'enormous kindness,' and at the feeling which has prompted
you, at, I am certain, some self-sacrifice, to return me the sum
which I was only too pleased to be able to place at your disposal I am
a bad hand, as you, great author, literary swell, &c., &c., will soon
see--I am a bad hand at fencing off what I have got to say, and
therefore I must out with it at once. I know it ought to be put in a
postscript--just dropped _par hazard_, as though it were an
after-thought, and not the real g | [

my dear Fanny. Write soon, and long, I entreat.â
In this same, to Dr. Burney, memorable year, 1806, he had the agreeable
surprise of a first invitation from Mr. West, President of the Royal
Academy, to the annual dinner given by its directors to the most
munificent patrons, capital artists, distinguished judges, or eminent
men of letters of the day, for the purpose of assembling them to a
private and undisturbed view of the works prepared for forming the
exhibition of the current year.
By that grand painter, and delightful man of letters, Sir Joshua
Reynolds, Dr. Burney, from the time of their first happy intimacy, had
regularly been included in the annual invitations; but Mr. West was
unacquainted, personally, with the Doctor, and had, of course, his own
set and friends to oblige. What led to this late compliment, after a
chasm of fourteen years, does not appear; but the remembrance occurred
at a moment of revived exertion, and the Doctor accepted it with
exceeding satisfaction. Nevertheless, the opening of the account which
he has left in his journal of this classic entertainment, is far from
gay:
âMy sight was now,â he says, âbecome so feeble, that I
knew nobody who did not first accost me; and my hearing
so impaired, that it was with difficulty I caught what
was said to me by any of my neighbours, except those
immediately to my right or my left.
âAt the Royal Academy this year, I was placed near my
son Dr. Charles, and Loutherbourg, who served me as a
nomenclature, and I was happily in the midst of many old
as well as new friends and acquaintance; particularly the
Bishops of Durham,[79] Winchester,[80] and London,[81]
and Sir George Beaumont.
âI went early into several small apartments, previously
to entering the great room; and luckily, in the first I
entered I came upon Sir George Beaumont, who most kindly,
politely, and with cordial courtesy, accompanied me
during the whole review; always, with unerring judgment,
pointing out what was most worth stopping to examine. He
was enthusiastically fond of Wilkieâs famous piece.
âMr. Windham here came forward in the highest spirits.
I never saw him more animated, even when conversing
with favourite females. I eagerly made up to him with
my thanks, both to himself and Mrs. Windham, for their
zeal and activity in my affairs.[82] âYes, yes,â cried he
gaily, âin zeal we all vied one with another.â
âIt had rained torrents all day; but I had promised, not
expecting the continuance of such weather, to go from the
exhibition to the opera, to join Lord and Lady Bruce;
who wanted to make a convert of me to their favourite
singer, Grassini; but in descending the endless stairs,
I was joined by my benevolent neighbour, the Bishop of
Winchester; who, perceiving how cautiously I made my way,
seized my arm, and insisted on conducting me; and when
he heard my opera engagement, he dauntlessly, though
laughingly, ordered away my carriage himself, and helped
me into his own; promising absolution for my failure to
Lady Bruce, but protesting he could not, and would not,
suffer me to go any whither such a desperate night, from
home; whither he drove me full gallop, setting me down
at Chelsea College, in his way to Winchester House. More
kind and cheerful benevolence never entered manâs heart,
than is lodged in this good prelateâs.â
1807.
In the ensuing year, 1807, the diary of the Doctor contains the
following narration of the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe:
â_December 21._âI have lost my oldest and most partial
musical friend, the Countess Dowager of Mount Edgecumbe,
relict of the third Lord and first Earl, and mother
of the present Earl. She was daughter of Dr. John
Gilbert, Archbishop of York. I knew and was known to
her when she was Miss Gilbert, and at the head of lady
musicians. She was always of the Italian school, and
spoke both Italian and French well and fluently: she was
one of the great patronesses of Giardini and Mengotti,
in their days of renown; and generously never ceased
serving and supporting them when they were superseded by
newer rivals. She was a correspondent in Italian with
Martinelli. She played with great force and precision
all the best modern compositions of the times; and in
so high and spirited a style, that no other lady, or
hardly professor, in England, durst attempt them. She
kept her box at the opera till very late in life: and
then, when, from the bustle and noise of entry and exit,
she relinquished it, she still sustained her own private
study and practice on the harpsichord. And, to the very
last, when told of any musical phenomena, vocal or
instrumental, she was curious and eager to hear them at
private or subscription concerts. She went to Tunbridge
Wells last summer, when her frame was extremely impaired,
and her faculties no longer of their original brightness.
Previously to setting out, she honoured me, in as
infirm and decayed a state as herself, with a visit;
condescendingly clambering up my flight of stairs to
nearly the summit of Chelsea Hospital, protesting, with
her old and very agreeable liveliness, that the exertion
did her nothing but good: and then, almost on her knees,
beseeching me to go also to Tunbridge Wells, as she was
sure its waters would be highly beneficial to me. I was
then, however, so unwell and feeble, that I feared going
even to Bulstrode. I could not, therefore, satisfy this
kind and noble lady with the least prospect of following
her, and partaking of her offered hospitality.
âDaughter of so eminent a divine, she had been brought up
with a firm belief and veneration in religion; and she
was persuaded that all the calamities of the war were
inflicted upon us as the scourge of our iniquities, for
our admission of jacobinical principles at the opening
of the French Revolution. It was a very remarkable
circumstance, that pulsation stopped, and her heart
ceased to beat, three days before she expired.â
About this period, also, or somewhat later, Dr. Burney had to lament
the loss of his constant and respectable friend, Mrs. Ord; which,
though not of a sort to prey upon his feelings, like those privations
that bereaved him of the objects of his taste, as well as connexion,
caused yet a considerable breach in his habits of friendly intercourse,
and of such enlivening parties and projects, as constitute the major,
though not the higher portion of our rotatory comforts.
The whole tenor of the life of Mrs. Ord, and of her minutest as well
as most important actions, was under the concentrated guidance of a
laudable ambition to merit general esteem. And so sagely directed were
her movements for the attainment of their object, that she was one of
those few beings whom censure passed by as unimpeachable.
She was sincerely attached to Dr. Burney and his family, and was
sincerely lamented by all to whom her worth and virtues were known.
* * * * *
Towards the close of this year, 1807, Dr. Burney had an infliction
which nearly robbed him of his long-tried, and hitherto almost
invulnerable force of mind, for bearing the rude assaults of
misfortune: this was a paralytic stroke, which, in casting his left
hand into a state of torpor, threw his heart, head, and nerves into
one | [

6,964 | 114,936 | 14 | blow,
Painter, not being correct in his distance, missed his man, which
brought them to a close, when Oliver immediately got his opponentâs
nob under his left arm, fibbed him cleverly, and ultimately threw
him. More anxiety displayed than betting.
2.âMost determined resolution appeared on both sides; indeed, the
spectators were aware, from the character of the men, that victory
would not be obtained by either at an easy rate. Oliver, with much
dexterity, put in a severe hit upon Painterâs mug, who returned
sharply with his right. A desperate rally now commenced, when it was
perceived that Painter left his head unprotected. Oliver, awake to
every chance, punished his opponentâs nob terribly with his left;
but Painter, with considerable adroitness and execution, planted a
blow on the cheek of Oliver, that instantly sent him down. Its
effect was not unlike the kick of a horse. Even betting.
3.âFrom such a tremendous hit it was truly astonishing to see Oliver
so ready to time. Painter, somewhat flattered by his last effort,
made play, but his distance proved incorrect. Oliver returned by
planting a heavy blow in his face. A rally now followed, in which so
much determination was exhibited, as to excite surprise in the most
experienced pugilists. It lasted more than two minutes, without
advantage to either combatant. If courage was at any time portrayed,
no boxers in the world ever put in a higher claim to it than Painter
and Oliver, who undauntedly stood up to each other, giving blow for
blow, till accuracy of stopping and force of hitting had left them
both. A pause ensued. The skill of Oliver at length obtained the
advantage. He adopted the Cribb system of milling on the retreat,
and punished his opponentâs nob heavily, till Painter fought his way
in to another rally, which, if possible, was more determined and
severe than the first. This second rally seemed rather in favour of
Painter, who hit tremendously, but he was checked in the midst of
his career by a severe body blow, that nearly sent him down. He,
however, collected himself a little, and continued fighting till he
fell from weakness. A more thorough milling round is not to be met
in the annals of pugilism, and there was more execution done in it
than in many fights of an hourâs length. Indeed, it was enough to
finish most men. It lasted four minutes and a half, and twelve
seconds, all fighting!
4.âOn this round the fate of the battle hung. Skill was now required
to recover from the severe winding each had experienced in those two
desperate rallies. Oliver, convinced that systematic precaution was
necessary, again successfully adopted milling on the retreat. He
nobbed his opponent with his left hand, as Painter incautiously
followed, literally throwing away most of his blows, which, had they
reached their destination, must have done execution. Painter was
evidently distressed by this retreating system, but at length got in
a tremendous right-handed hit upon Oliverâs eye, and appeared
getting more fresh in his wind. A spirited rally took place, when
some heavy blows were exchanged, but Painter fell exhausted. Two to
one was loudly vociferated upon Oliver.
5.âOliver kept the advantage of his system of fighting, reducing the
strength of his opponent in almost every round. He hit Painter
repeatedly without receiving a return, and his left hand was
continually at work. Painter still kept pursuing Oliver, although so
heavily hit at every step, and he at length fell upon his face.
6.âThis round was rather more evenly contested, and, in rallying,
Painter put in several good hits both right and left, when he fell
from weakness.
7.âIt was now demonstrable which way the battle would terminate.
Oliver appeared so much at home that he punished his opponent in any
direction he thought proper. Painter did everything that a game man
could, but he was so exhausted that in making a hit he fell on one
knee. Three to one, but no takers.
8 and last.âPainter was done up, and Oliver finished the contest in
prime style, by meeting his antagonist in every way that he
presented himself; and, finally, with a right-handed blow, knocked
him down. Painter could not be brought to time. They were both
punished heavily. Oliverâs body showed marks of some punishment, and
both his eyes were in mourning.
REMARKS.âUpon Oliverâs being declared the conqueror, Cribb took him
up in his arms and carried him round the ring in triumph, when he
received universal applause, and he deserved it.
In conquering Painter he defeated a hero of the first mould, whose
fine game and true courage were never excelled. But game alone will
not win in opposition to superior science, though it may prolong the
battle. Painter suffered severely from his distances proving
incorrect. During the battle he missed nineteen hits; and, in one
round, Oliver put in five severe blows on the head, without
receiving a single hit in return. Oliver is a fine looking young
man, and weighed, in the above fight, twelve stone, seven pounds,
and is in height five feet nine inches and three-quarters. In every
battle he has successively risen in fame and shown more science; but
with Painter, however desperately contested, it appears, that he
felt within himself less danger of being beaten than in any of his
other five. In the early part of his training (for which he was
indebted to the peculiar skill, care, and attention of Captain
Barclay), the severity of fatigue he experienced rendered him
unwell, but when his pitch was correctly ascertained, his
constitution was so finely and vigorously tempered, so much spirit,
lightness, and sound stamina were infused into his frame, that it
was thought he could have fought an hour without much difficulty. It
is astonishing what confidence men are taught to feel, from the
superior system of training pursued by Captain Barclay.
In fighting Kimber, Oliver appeared a mere novice; in his battle with
âHopping Ned,â he was a promising tyro; with Harry Lancaster, he rose
above the thumping commoner; when he fought Ford, he showed that he had
good stuff in him, and proved himself a staunch tough man; in his severe
conflict with Cooper, he was an improving and steady boxer; while
against Painter, he proved his claim to the appellation of a first-rate
pugilist. It was from this progressive state of pugilistic acquirement,
and Oliverâs superiority over Painter, that he was considered equal to
anything upon the list. Not even the Champion was excepted; in fact, so
high were his capabilities rated, that before Carter offered himself as
a customer, Oliver had displayed great anxiety to enter the lists with
Tom Cribb; and it appears that some conversation had passed between
those mighty heroes of the fist, as to the propriety of a meeting to
decide the subject.
Tom had at this juncture touched the culminating point of his pugilistic
eminence. He was now a publican, and his house, the Dukeâs Head, in
Peter Street, Westminster, was looked upon as headquarters of the Fancy
of that special district. Tom had inherited the title and dominion of
the renowned Caleb Baldwin, and was regarded as the hero and champion of
Westminster. It is but justice to observe, that contemporary prints bear
testimony to the personal civility and general good behaviour of Oliver
as a public man, and of his disposition as âtruly inoffensive;â a
general characteristic of steady and unflinching courage. After a couple
of years of âminding the bar,â Tom accepted the challenge of Jack
Carter, âthe Lancashire hero,â who, at this period, boldly claimed the
Championship. The game battle near Carlisle, October 4, 1816, in which
Oliver fell gloriously, although at one period three to one was laid in
his favour, will be found in the | [

gaze, whereupon a deep flush rose and spread over the clear brown pallor
of her face, and she turned, and bent to speak to her friend, as if to
cover a slight confusion.
The friend was Mally Loveland, and she was finding her position a
particularly satisfactory one at the moment, being aware that Mr.
Nichols was so placed as to take in the best points of her new fall
costume in a side view. It was for him, not for Anna, that she had been
using so much of nervous energy in the last few minutes.
A lady who had left the platform for the purpose now came down the
aisle, and, taking Anna Mallison by the hand with a word of welcome,
conducted her to the front of the church. Mally, thus left alone,
fluttered into a place made for her, seeming to discover Mr. Nichols as
she turned, and smiling surprise and pleasure upon him.
Just before Anna began to address the gathering, while a hymn was sung,
Keith Burgess quietly made his way to a seat near the front of the
church, at the side of the platform. He had excused himself to Nichols,
who had then asked and obtained permission to sit beside Mally, an
incident productive of a vast amount of conscious and fluttering delight
on the part of that young lady.
The austerity of Anna Mallisonâs religious life had, under the influence
of Mrs. Westervelt and her disciple, Mrs. Ingraham, relaxed within a few
months to a marked degree. New conceptions of a relation of joyful
assurance, of conscious acceptance with God, had risen within her, with
the perception that religion was not exclusively prohibition, and
conscience its only energy. Something of warmth and brightness had been
infused into her chill, colourless, outward life, furthermore, by the
intercourse with the Ingrahams which had followed her first visit. She
was still in a manner ice-bound in her interior life and in her capacity
for expression, but the ice was beginning to yield and here and there to
break up a little.
Thus, in the manner with which she spoke on this occasion, there was
something of gentleness, and a less uncompromising self-restraint than
when she had first spoken before an audience. She was still noticeably
reserved, still innocent of the oratorâs arts, or of conscious seeking
to produce an effect; she still delivered herself of her simple message
as if it were a duty to be discharged rather than an opportunity to be
grasped. But through the coldness of all this neutrality there pierced
now and then a ray of the radiant purity and loftiness of the girlâs
inner nature, and this time those who heard her did not pity or
patronize her in their thoughts.
Keith Burgess watched her from the place he had chosen. Her tall, meagre
figure in its nunlike dress was sharply outlined against a palely tinted
window opposite, through which the October sun shone. She stood without
support of table or desk, her hands falling straight at her sides, and
looked directly at the people she addressed, fearless, since burdened
with the sense of immortal destinies, not with a consciousness of
herself. Keith noted the hand which fell against the straight black
folds of her dress; its fine shape and delicate texture alone expressed
her ladyhood. She could not have been called pretty, but her face thus
seen in profile was almost beautiful, the hollowness of the cheeks and
the stringent thinness of all the contours being less obvious.
But Keith Burgess was not occupied with Annaâs face and figure to any
serious degree. He knew instinctively that she was of good birth and
breeding; he saw that, though severe and angular in person and manner,
she was womanly, noble, refined. He divined, as no one could have failed
to divine, the essential truth and purity of her nature. From her
simple, unfeigned utterance he perceived the high earnestness and
consecration with which she was entering upon missionary labour.
Perceiving all those things, the young man looked and listened with a
sudden, momentous question taking swift shape in his mind.
He remained until the close of the meeting and met Anna, introducing
himself, as he preferred doing. She received his few expressions of
satisfaction in hearing her with scant response, and apparently with
neither surprise or gratification. He did not like her the less for
that.
The Ingrahams found Keith sober and preoccupied at dinner that night,
but, as he was to be chief speaker at the evening session of the
convention, they thought this natural and in order. He was liked and was
treated with especial consideration by them all, and even Mr. Ingraham
did him the honour of going to the church to hear him speak. He had no
sympathy with his wifeâs penchant for missions, but he thought Burgess
was âa nice little fellow,â and he wanted to see what kind of a speech
he could make.
The different members of the family and their guests came home one after
another late in the evening, and, as they met, exchanged enthusiastic
expressions concerning the eloquence of Keith Burgess. Mrs. Ingraham and
the Board ladies thought the dear young man had a wonderful gift;
Aroona-bia smiled tenderly in assent; the girls said he was simply
perfect; and Mr. Ingraham admitted that, when he had worked off some of
his âsophomoric effervescence,â he might make a good deal of an orator,
and added, under his breath, it was nothing less than a crime to send a
delicate, talented boy like that to make food for those barbarians,
whose souls werenât worth the sacrifice, even if he could save them,
which he couldnât.
âVery true, dear,â rejoined his wife; âno man can save anotherâs soul;
he can only lead him to the dear Lordâs feet.â
The senator bit short a sharp reply, and just then Keith himself
appeared, looking pale and exhausted, deprecating wearily the praise
they were eager to bestow upon him, and begging to be excused if he
withdrew at once to his room.
As the sound of his footsteps was lost in the hall above, Mrs. Ingraham
said:â
âI am sorry Mr. Burgess was so tired. I invited Anna Mallison to come
here for the night, and I wanted him to meet her. Mrs. Churchill has
asked the opportunity for a little talk with Anna in the morning, and it
will be convenient for her to be here. It is so far to her rooms, you
know.â
âI should think the house was full already, mamma,â remarked Gertrude
Ingraham. âWhere can we put her?â
âOh, she will not mind going up to the south room in the third story, my
dear. I told Jane to have it in order.â
Just then Miss Ingraham came into the house and Anna Mallison was with
her.

âTHE RUBAIYAT.
In a few moments after he had reached his room Keith Burgess heard a
knock at his door. Opening it, he found a neat, white-capped maid who
bore a tray; entering demurely, she placed it upon a small table,
remarking that Mrs. Ingraham thought he would need refreshment. The tray
held an exquisite china service for one person, a pot of chocolate, and
delicate rolls and cakes.
âMiss Gertrude said I was to light your fire,â the maid said, proceeding
to remove the fender and strike a match for the purpose.
âVery well,â replied Keith, walking to the other side of the room. The
night air was sharp, and he liked the notion.
A moment later the maid withdrew, with the noiseless, unobtrusive step
and movement of the well-trained servant, and Keith, when he turned,
found the room already enlivened by the firelight. The | [

A stone struck him on the forehead. Another and another began to whiz

He dodged them as best he could and began running for the road. But he
had reckoned without Blue Lightning. The animal had been hit by a rock

Hawaiians. Behind it trailed the rope.
âBiff! Bang! Hurray!â yelled Herc as he saw the _Manhattanâs_ mascot
rushing into the fray.

Belasco, he was hastily matched with Reynolds. In this battle he
sustained defeat.[168]
Notwithstanding this reverse of fortune, Abyâs partisans did not desert
him, and he was considered an able competitor for the accomplished
Randall. He was accordingly matched with the Nonpareil, eight weeks only
having elapsed since his heavy fight with Reynolds. It is true Belasco
was defeated, but it is equally true that he gained much approbation as
a skilful boxer; and the battle between the Jew and Randall, in a
scientific point of view, stands equal to anything on the records of
pugilism. See RANDALL, _ante_, p. 333.
While Belasco was on a sparring tour with Mendoza in Gloucestershire, in
the summer of 1818, he fought the Winchcomb champion, on the race-course
at Cheltenham, a thirteen stone man, for 20 guineas a-side. Abraham won
in the short space of twelve minutes.
In the same year, on the 9th of December, Belasco entered the lists at
Coventry with Joe Townsend, who was considered the leading boxer in that
place. Townsend fancied that he could beat Belasco off hand, and put
down his watch and five guineas to back himself. He was a twelve stone
man. Aby at that period only weighed ten stone ten pounds. Belasco
proved conqueror in twenty-four minutes.
On Abyâs returning to London he was matched with Phil. Sampson for 50
guineas a-side. The battle took place at Potterâs Street, in Essex,
twenty-one miles from London, on Tuesday, February 22, 1819. This fight
was brought to a wrangle, but the money was ultimately given up to
Belasco. See Life of PHIL. SAMPSON, Period VI.
The Jew and the Birmingham Youth were continually quarrelling upon the
subject, and a second fight took place between them. See _ibid_. A third
fight, with the gloves, at the Tennis Court (_ibid_); and a fourth also
occurred before doubts about each otherâs merits could be decided
(_ibid_).
Belasco left London for Bristol to fight Cabbage for 100 guineas a-side,
in October, 1820; but, on his arrival in the above city, the friends of
Cabbage would not advance the money. Belasco, however, was well received
by the Bristolians, who, to make up for his disappointment, gave him a
most excellent benefit.
In the autumn of 1820 Aby was down at Norwich, with most of the London
pugilists, to witness the second mill between Ned Painter and Tom Oliver
(detailed in this history, in the Life of PAINTER, vol. ii., pp. 85â88),
when, on the following day, some little misunderstanding occurred
between an amateur of Norwich and Belasco, the latter challenging the
swell with offering his brother, Izzy Belasco, a sum of money to fight a
cross with the Bergh Apton groom; the amateur hereon offered Josh.
Hudson £5 if he would give the Jew a thump on the head for his
insolence. This, however, passed over; but when the sherry was
circulating quickly, at Gurneyâs Bowling Green, some chaffing occurred
between these old opponents, and Hudson struck Belasco. This was enough,
and which was better man was decided instantly upon an elegant Turkey
carpet. Spring supported the claims of Josh. Hudson; the Master of the
Rolls gave his assistance to the scientific Israelite; and thirty-five
rounds were contested in the most spirited manner, occupying upwards of
forty minutes. Hudson was terribly punished about the head; but such was
his determined courage that, although his shoulder went out two or three
times, and was reduced to its proper situation by Spring, yet he
insisted upon renewing the battle, and continued to fight till Belasco
observed, they were both weak, and that, as he should get nothing, he
(Belasco) would not contend any longer, but that he would fight Hudson
for £100 in London at any time the latter would appoint. Belasco
unquestionably won the fight, as he twice waited upwards of one minute
while the shoulder of Hudson was reduced. The Birmingham Youth gave his
bets, two guineas, as did Spring, one guinea, to Hudson. Belasco
received a dreadful hit on his right eye; but this blow, the Jew
asserted, was given previous to fighting. Hudson was rather inebriated;
and next morning, in company with Scroggins, went to an eminent surgeon,
who not only pronounced that his shoulder had been âout of its place,â
but advised Hudson to take great care of himself, as he would not be
enabled to enter the ring again for at least a twelvemonth. This affair
took place on Wednesday, July 19, 1820.
Abyâs next turn was with Phil. Sampson (third battle, December 21,
1820), a glove fight, already noticed in a paragraph above.
Pat Halton was about this time brought out as a wonder. According to
report he had beaten all Irish opponents in an unapproachable style. He
was in height five feet eleven inches, and in weight eleven stone. His
fame, which had gone before him, was challenged by Aby Belasco for £50
a-side, and the event came off at Harpenden Common, near St. Albanâs, on
the 8th of April, 1823.
Aby arrived on the ground in a barouche and four, supported by some
swells of his tribe; and at one oâclock his seconds, Richmond and Ben
Burn, threw up his topper. In a few minutes, Pat Halton, arm-in-arm with
his backer, a sporting Irish captain, followed by Randall and Josh.
Hudson, repeated the token of defiance. The odds were guineas to pounds
on Belasco. Tho colours, yellow for the Jew, and green (_Ã la_ Randall)
for Halton, were tied to the stakes.
THE FIGHT.
Round 1.âOn stripping, the lathy appearance of
Paddy astonished his backers beyond description:
his ribs were bare, his legs and arms were thin,
his countenance pale, his lips white, and, in
fact, he was as light as a cork. Belasco, on the
contrary, was never in more prime trim. Some
little squaring at each other occurred, when the
Jew gave his opponent a tap on the cheek; Paddy
returned without effect. Halton again missed.
A long pause. Belasco planted another facer
without any return. Haltonâs right hand missed
the Jew. At length some exchanges took place,
and Belasco hit Halton as he was going down.
2.âThe Irishman showed first blood; he had
napped a clumsy thump on his left ear. After a
few exchanges, in a close, the Jew fibbed his
opponent; but Halton got the throw, and Belasco
was undermost.
3.âThe Jews were in raptures, and the judges of
milling had made up their minds as to the
result. Belasco hit his opponent on the body
without any return; a facer ditto. This conduct

share the box of goodies which Mother sent me for my Thanksgiving
treat,â she said. âDo you suppose they would like that?â
âOh, that will be a splendid way,â Carol exclaimed joyously, âand now
letâs plan how you are to do it.â
* * * * *
At the ten oâclock rest period Carol skipped into Adeleâs room where her
friends were all eagerly awaiting her.
âWell, did you tame Katrina?â Betty Burd inquired.
Carolâs face was shining. âI do believe that Katrina is as nice as she
can be underneath,â she said; then she added with a twinkle, which she
tried to hide, âat any rate she is tamed enough to wish us to call upon
her at five this afternoon. Now, girls, when we make this call, I want
you all to act as though you _really_ liked Katrina, and that will help
you to like her, I am sure.â
âWe will do just as you say,â Doris Drexel replied in a doleful tone,
âbut I am quite sure that we are going to be dreadfully bored.â
A happy surprise awaited the girls.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
AN UNEXPECTED SPREAD
Carol, upon leaving Katrinaâs room, went at once to the office and
Madame Deriby gladly granted the permission which was requested.
The matron was sorry indeed for the fretful, discontented girl, and she
believed that the wholesome, happy maidens from Sunnyside would be the
best companions that she could possibly have.
At the hour of five Carol again entered Apple-Blossom Alley and found
the others waiting for her to escort them to âIceland,â as Peggy Pierce
called Katrinaâs room.
âNow remember,â their leader warned, âevery one is to be just as
charming as she knows how.â
âWeâll promise!â Doris Drexel declared. âNow, let the procession
proceed. If we must call upon a young tigress, letâs get it over as soon
as possible.â
Into the west wing they trooped and Carol tapped upon a closed door
which was thrown open at once. There stood a pretty girl who was
welcoming them in a manner truly gracious. Bettykins wanted to rub her
eyes to make sure that she was awake. This could not possibly be the
Katrina whom they had so disliked, but Adele understood. She realized
that Carol had also suggested to the hostess that she welcome her guests
as though she really liked them.
âKatrina,â Carol was saying, âpermit me to introduce to you Adele
Doring, a maiden fair, whose name will one day be known from ocean to
ocean as a poetess of great renown. She can rhyme cat and rat without
the slightest effort, and this next maiden with the short golden curls
and the cheeks that a peach would envy, is Rosamond Wright, famous for
having made tatting of seven varieties. And these two whose arms are
linked are the Inseparables, by name Doris Drexel and Peggy Pierce. It
doesnât matter which is which, for each comes when the other is called,
and this tall young lady with a solemn air and spectacles is our
mathematician, Bertha Angel, and this youngster with the brown braids
and a dimple is our youngest, known either as âLittle Oneâ or Betty
Burd. Gertrude Willis couldnât come, because she has taken the baby
class to the woods, and Evelyn Dartmoor has gone to Buffalo to spend the
weekend with her grandfather. Otherwise, we of the Sunnyside Club are
all present.â
âOh, Carol!â Adele laughed, âdid you say all that in one breath? I am
sure we feel very much honored, but, Katrina, donât you believe a word
that she says about us.â
âI wonât!â Katrina smilingly replied. âIâll find out for myself. Now be
seated anywhere. I think that there are chairs enough and five of you
can sit on the window-seat.â
Rosamond dropped into the easiest chair and the others curled up here
and there while Carol announced, âGirls, I have brought all of the parts
for the play, and I thought it would be fun to read them over to just
get an idea when our turns come in.â
The play was an amusing one and this informal rehearsal caused much
merriment and laughter, and, before any one realized that an hour had
passed, the get-ready-for-supper bell was ringing in the corridor.
Bertha stood up. âWe ought to go now,â she announced, but Carol said
mysteriously, âNo, not yet. Just sit ever so still and see what is going
to happen.â
The visitors looked surprised but did as they were told. Some of them
had noticed that one corner of the room was screened in a manner which
suggested that something was being hidden, but they had thought little
of it until Katrina and Carol removed the screens and revealed a table
laden with good things to eat.
âOhee!â squealed the irrepressible Betty Burd. âGirls, arenât you glad
that you were invited?â
âSuppose you all sit on the floor now in a circle,â Carol suggested,
âand then Katrina and I will pass the feast.â
Katrina, who had always had a maid to wait upon her, actually enjoyed
the novel experience of serving her guests.
Suddenly she thought of something. âOh, Adele,â she exclaimed, âdonât
you suppose that your friend Gertrude Willis would be free and could
join us now?â
Adele, who had been wishing that Gertrude was with them, sprang up as
she said, âI am sure Trudie would love to come. I will go and find her.â
Gertrude, who had heard nothing about the taming of Katrina, was in the
south wing wondering where all the girls could be, and she gladly
accompanied Adele back to the party, where she was graciously received
by the beaming hostess.
On the floor they all sat in a big circle, and to each was given a plate
heaped with cold turkey and cranberry jelly. Potato chips, olives,
candy, frosted cookies, a huge chocolate-cake, and grape-juice completed
the feast.
Rosamond Wright was just about to begin on an olive when she surprised
them all by exclaiming, âKatrina, I just canât eat a bite of your party
until I tell you that I am sorry that I havenât been nicer to you.â
And Katrina replied simply, âRosamond, I was just thinking that the
fault must have been mine. You see when I was little, I was a spoiled
child, and I never smiled except when things happened to please me. It
seems easy enough to be cheerful to-day, while you all are here, but
to-morrow I may forget.â
Carol laid a loving hand on the girlâs arm as she said, âWe want you to
be with us often, Katrina, and you will be, because we are to have
rehearsals for the play every day now at the four-thirty recreation.â
And so was completed the taming of Katrina.

of the hydroplane-motor, or perhaps he was merely worried over the
general result of the inspection. He had received his training under
the more recent Osborne-Dartmouth scheme, and his presence in the
Submarine Service was the outcome of the war and the new Navy methods.
The large number of boats that had recently been built had necessitated
an increase in the ranks of submarine officers, and as it had not
been advisable to drain the general service of too many experienced
watch-keeping lieutenants, the Admiralty had hit on the plan of
entering Sub-Lieutenants as seconds in command of boats. They received
a course of submarine work, and, thanks to their previous training,
which included engineering among other things, and their own keenness
and intelligence, the scheme had worked very well. Many of them would
be in command of boats at a much younger age than their present
captains had gained a command, but the responsibilities and cares of a
submarine life had amply fitted them for their positions.
Boyd, the R.N.R. Lieutenant, was another offspring of the war, both as
regards his being in the Navy at all and as regards his presence in
the Submarine Service. Prior to the war the Royal Naval Reserve had
contained comparatively few officers, and commissions had been hard to
obtain, but after the first PostgreSQL is often criticized to support features that are often thought that most DB software already support – it still does have some important feature limitations; mostly related database-link design and indexing.

A bit later – we shall address data structures that will soon need to considerfew months of hostilities the Admiralty
had realised that they had not sufficient trained seamen for their
needs, and had reopened the Reserve with a call for more officers.
The result far exceeded expectation, for the officers of the Merchant
Service flocked to the colours in thousands, and after a course of
training were sent afloat as watch-keepers in any class of ship from
Super-Dreadnoughts to trawlers. The growth in size and capabilities
of submarines, and their more arduous duties, had necessitated that
they should have an additional officer soon after war started, and
the result was that each of the bigger boats was supplied with a
Lieutenant of the Royal Naval Reserve. His duties were entirely those
of a seaman, as he was the navigator, took a large slice of the
watches, and looked after the confidential books and gyro compass.
Boyd himself had served his first four years at sea in a sailing ship
or ‘wind jammer,’ and had, after becoming an officer, transferred into
steam and done a voyage or two in tramp. At the outbreak of war he had
left one of the great mail companies of the Western Ocean, to which he
intended to return when all was over. The Navy life did not appeal to
him very strongly, and he was looking forward to a return to his old
work.
The next in order was the coxswain, a first-class Petty Officer who
had joined submarines as an able seaman about the same time as Raymond
had entered that Service. Perhaps he had wanted to get married, and
had been attracted by the increased pay, or it may have been that a
friend in a submarine had told him stories of the life and privileges
pertaining to it that had fired his imagination. Like most men of his
age he had joined the Navy as a boy and been trained in a sailing brig,
whence he had eventually emerged and blossomed out, until he received
his anchor and was rated leading seaman after two years in submarines.
Raymond had, owing to a vacancy, tried him as a second coxswain, with
the result that in course of time he was promoted to the rank of Petty
Officer and coxswain, and had followed his captain from boat to boat
for several years in succession.
The second coxswain was a middle-aged leading seaman on turn for Petty
Officer who had been through much the same training as his senior, and
hoped for promotion as soon as he received his ‘crossed killicks.’[11]
Then there came the gun-layer, the cook, and six able seamen, all
A.B.’s of much the same age, men about twenty-six who aspired to be
coxswains or Torpedo Instructors in due course. They again were new
Navy, and had received their early training in PostgreSQL is often criticized to support features that are often thought that most DB software already support – it still does have some important feature limitations; mostly related database-link design and indexing.

A bit later – we shall address data structures that will soon need to considershore barracks and
training cruisers. The Submarine Service is essentially a voluntary
one, and it would be difficult to ascertain why they had ever joined.
Probably if they were asked they would have replied ‘private reasons,’
and sucked their teeth noisily.
Then came the T.I., Torpedo Instructor or Torpedo Gunner’s Mate, a
Petty Officer and electrical expert, who, after going through the same
early trials as the two coxswains, had specialised in electricity after
being rated A.B. He had received his first upward step when he became
an S.T. or Seaman Torpedo man, and shortly after he was promoted to
Leading Seaman the specialist rating of Leading Torpedo Man had been
granted him. With maturity and experience had come the rank of Petty
Officer and Torpedo Instructor, and now he was one of those who knew
more about the internals of those highly mechanical engines of death
than the rest of the crew put together. He lived in a whirl of balance
chamber doors and hydrostatic valves, and gibbered in his sleep of
reducers and ignition delay gear.
The L.T.O., who was a new Navy man and the T.I.’s second-in-command,
was in charge under Seagrave of all the electrical appliances and
motors in the boat. He was an expert at finding ‘earths’ and short
circuits, and was notable among his kind in that he was nimble-fingered
and could ‘make’[12] a switch without breaking it.
The engine-room staff was headed by Chief Engine Room Artificer
Hoskins, a hoary-headed old sinner of the old school, who could coax
a Diesel engine to run on air or coal-dust if necessary and was,
moreover, in a permanent state of growl. Raymond swore by him, and had,
like the coxswain, taken him from ship to ship in his upward career. He
had joined the Navy as a fitter and turner at the age of twenty-two,
having just completed his apprenticeship in one of the great
shipbuilding yards on the Tyne, and had been entered as a Fourth Class
Artificer. His keenness and wonderful ability with anything mechanical
had urged him to join the Submarine Service, where he was practically
in charge of his own engines. Give him an oil-can and a lump of waste,
varied occasionally by a foot-rule and Macmahon wrench, and he would
be happy for hours.
The second, third, and fourth E.R.A.’s were all much younger men who
had joined under the new scheme as Boy Artificers at the training
college at Devonport, whence they had emerged, having received all
their knowledge from the Service, and in due course been rated
Artificers, 4th Class. They were now slowly working their way up, and
had joined the Submarine Service since the war, when the necessity for
capable men had inspired them with the wish for more authority than
fell to their lots in the engine-rooms of a Battleship.
The Stoker Petty Officer was a bearded and efficient ruffian, and the
oldest man in the boat. Unlike the seamen, the stokers do not join the
Navy as boys, but at about the age of eighteen, and this particular old
sinner had had rather a rough time of it in his early days. However,
he had kept going, and as only men of good character are admitted
to submarines, it speaks well of him that he had not fallen by the
wayside. In a submarine he had seen freedom from dirt and eternal
coal shovelling, raking, and slicing, as well as extra pay and other
privileges, and the added dangers of the life did not seem to worry him
in the least.

I believe these inuendoes are now beyond all cavil. The excuse of Tom
was, that George deserted his party, and that all's fair in politics.
Whether or not this were reasonable excuse, casuists may settle; but
there is one reflection incident to the anecdote, to which the years
1835-6 has given rise; and this is, how ungracefully looks the Irish
Anacreon, after such a well-authenticated charge, in raising a breeze
against poor Willis, for repeating what himself had said about
O'Connell, as a public speaker merely, at a large dinner party of Lady
Blessington's! The mote and the beam!

AMERICAN SOCIAL ELEVATION.
The Spartan knew no other stimulus to exertion than the shining
glories of war. From infancy to old age he was ever learning the skill
and daring which belong to the battle field. His every mental
development was martial in its tendency. He saw in every feature of
his country's institutions an appeal to his warrior spirit. Imagine a
band of young ambitious minds circled around some aged patriot, who,
in the all-glowing language of arms, is describing the daring, the
glorious achievement which had immortalized the _Spartan_ character.
Listen to him as he portrays the bravery unrivalled, the death
unequalled, of those who fell at Thermopylæ or Leuctra; as he calls
upon their mighty shades to witness his words--and mark the youth how
intent, how all-intent they grow as he proceeds; their eyes flashing
with fire; their hands clenched; their teeth set. Do this, and you
have a faint idea of that kind of influence which moulded and directed
the mind of the Spartan. Is it wonderful that Sparta became the
military school of antiquity? Thus taught, the highest worship of her
youth was offered on the altars of war. Thus taught, their imagination
was ever picturing the fierce onset, the high conflict, the battle
won, and the laurel immortal which graced the victor's brow. Thus
taught, they were ever ready to seize the sword and shield and rush to
meet the invader. Thus taught, they served well their country and went
to their fancied home in the distant _Elysia_, to join the heroes whom
they had learned to admire, mourned and remembered by their
countrymen.
We propose to point out those objects which actuate the American mind;
to show their inadequacy to produce the general elevation of society,
and humbly to suggest what should be the controlling stimulus. Need we
ask what are the chief motives which influence our national mind? Need
it be told that our young growing mind is fast becoming a money
making, political mind? The most casual observer has only to glance at
the state of things, to feel sensibly its truth. Observe that man of
quick step and active air, as he moves through the street of the
commercial city; how, all absorbed in himself, he passes heedlessly
on, as if he were the only being in society: his mind is intensely
bent on making a few dollars; and he is but one among the thousands.
Observe the throngs of men who have met to-day on public exchange, to
transact the business of thousands and millions. Mark this one in deep
meditation; that one lively with a face brilliant with joy; here one
telling in whispers some long expected news to one all attention;
there one earnest in persuasion with one {382} feignedly reluctant.
There is a variety of mental exercise, of thought, of emotion; but the
desire of gain, the secret spring of action, is the chief mental
development. Go into the extensive manufactory, and while with
delighted mind you admire the beauties and power of invention, and
believe the veil of the Holy of Holies of Science's temple to be
lifted, and her mysteries revealed, reflect to what end these fruits
of inventive genius are applied. Go upon the hill-top, and looking
down upon the verdant meadow, the rich fields of grain, the orchard
and vine-clad arbors, all in luxuriant growth, ask yourself, why so
much industry in bringing forth the products of the soil. There is but
one answer--the desire of gain. Nor are the manifestations of this
desire seen only in the outward world; it is the deity of the fireside
circle. It moulds the earliest thought, and directs its action. Around
it bow in low submission the powers and affections of mind. For it,
all, all which belongs to the man, mentally and physically, is offered
a willing sacrifice.
Now, it may be asked, are the fruits of this desire the elevation of
society, the full developments of the mind's faculties, the beautiful,
the active, the useful, the noble? Being the controlling power which
influences every thought and feeling, it becomes the sole arbiter of
every action. Self-emolument being its highest aim, it shapes every
exertion to this end. It requires activity, unrelaxing activity--but
it is not an activity for the promotion of general good. It requires
sleepless attention, even such as belonged to the virgins who tended
the sacred fires of Vesta's temple. But it is a watching which takes
care of self. It requires the exertion of the intellectual powers, but
only so far as to bemean them to its purposes. In fine, it
concentrates the whole soul, its entire thoughts and feelings on a
single point. And whatever attractions there may be around, however
glorious or grand, it never turns from this point. This point is self.
Now, where in this system is that cultivation of mind, which lifts
society from the depths of barbarism to the mountain heights of power
and civilization? Where those brilliances and glories of intellect,
which die not with nations but live in the admiration of all coming
time? Where that eloquence of the heart which flows from the deep well
of the affections? That eloquence which strengthens and chastens the
social relations; which, silent, unobserved, connects men together by
chains of sympathetic love and benevolence? Or where in this system,
is that love of country, that lofty patriotism, which is the
foundation of national character? What is patriotism? It is a love of
ancestry; a love, the very antithesis of self; a love, which like the
Christian's love, beautifies and elevates society. Can it exist in
this money-getting age? As well might you bid yonder queen river of
the west to roll backwards. Does it exist? Who can doubt that this is
an age of degenerate patriotism? Patriotism! that which holds a nation
up, which forgotten lets her fall into the common sepulchre of
departed empires. Patriotism! alas! that the signs of the times are
ominous that this people are fast bidding you a long, long farewell.
But the fruits, say the advocates of this money-seeking desire, are
industry and wealth. We grant wealth as its result, and that it is not
an effect of enchantment; but as there must be much labor, chiselling
and hammering, before the edifice can rise in beauty and magnificence,
so in its acquisition there must be inflexible industry. But is it
that kind of industry which unfolds and invigorates the mind, thereby
producing social elevation and refinement? History informs us how some
of the mighty cities of the east, by industry, rose to opulence, but
laments over their low state of society, and as a consequence, their
fall, like Lucifer from the halls of heaven, never to rise again. This
industry, so beloved, so enticing in the view of the many, is directed
to one end--individual gain. Considered in reference to the well-being
of communities as a whole, it is a gilded fatality. It explores the
deep centres of the earth, and brings forth its long buried riches;
covers every river, sea, and lake with commerce; ransacks all nature,
animate and inanimate. But what is all this, without a fully developed
mind to direct, to manage, to enjoy? What would it avail us, though
industry should roof our houses with diamonds, if there was not within

Tommy shot another grateful glance at his mother, and then looked
back at his father. He knew that from him must come the final word.
âYou kin try it,â said his father, at last. âI reckon youâll soon
git tired of it, anyway.â
But Tommy was out of his chair before he could say more, and threw
his arms about his neck.
âIâm so glad!â he cried. âYouâll see how Iâll work in thâ
afternoons. Weâll git out more coal ân ever!â
âWell, well,â protested Silas, awkwardly returning his caress,
âweâll see. I donât know but what your maâs right. Youâve been a
good boy, Tommy, anâ deserve a chance.â
And mother and father alike looked after the boy with unaccustomed
tenderness as he ran out of the house and up the mountain-side to
think it all over. Up there, with only the stars to see, Tommy flung
himself on the ground and sobbed aloud in sheer gladness of heart.
CHAPTER III
THE DAWNING OF A NEW DAY
When Bessie Andrews came within sight of the door of the little
schoolhouse next morning, she was surprised to see a boy sitting on
the step; but as she drew nearer, she discovered it was her visitor
of the evening before. He arose when he saw her coming and took off
his cap. Cap and clothes alike showed evidence of work in the mines,
but face and hands had been polished until they shone again. Her
heart leaped as she recognized him, for she had hardly dared to hope
that her talk with him would bear such immediate and splendid fruit.
Perhaps this was only the beginning, she thought, and she hurried
forward toward him, her face alight with pleasure.
âGood morning,â she said, holding out her hand. âYour father said
yes? Iâm so glad!â
He placed his hand in hers awkwardly. She could feel how rough and
hard it was with laborânot a childâs hand at all.
âYesâm,â he answered shyly. âPa said I might try it.â
âCome inâ; and she unlocked the door and opened it. âSit down there
a minute till I take off my things.â
He sat down obediently and watched her as she removed her hat and
gloves. The clear morning light revealed to him how different she
was from the women he had knownâa difference which, had it been
visible the evening before, might have kept him from her. His eyes
dwelt upon the fresh outline of her face, the softness of her hair
and its graceful waviness, the daintiness of her gown, which alone
would have proclaimed her not of the coal-fields, and he realized in
a vague way how very far she was removed from the people among whom
he had always lived.
[Illustration: âSHE HURRIED FORWARD TOWARD HIM, HER FACE ALIGHT WITH
PLEASURE.â]
âNow first about the studies,â she said, sitting down near him. âOf
course we shall have to begin at the very beginning, and for a time
you will be in a class of children much younger than yourself. But
you mustnât mind that. You wonât have to stay there long, for I know
you are going to learn, and learn rapidly.â
She noticed that he was fumbling in his pocket and seemed hesitating
at what to say.
âWhat is it?â she asked.
âIâll need some books, I guess,â he stammered. âPaâs been givinâ me
a quarter of a dollar every week fer a long time fer helpinâ him at
thâ mine, anâ Iâve got about three dollars saved up.â
With a final wrench he produced from his pocket a little toy bank,
with an opening in the chimney through which coins could be dropped
inside, and held it toward her.
âWill that be enough?â he asked anxiously.
The quick tears sprang to her eyes as she pressed the bank back into
his hands.
âNo, no,â she protested. âYou wonât need any books at all at first,
for I will write your lessons on the blackboard yonder. After that,
I have plenty of books here that you can use. Keep the money, and
weâll find a better way to spend it.â
He looked at her doubtfully.
âA better way?â he repeated, as though it seemed impossible there
could be a better way.
âYes. Youâll see. Youâll want something besides mere school-books
before long. Put your bank in your pocket,â she added. âHere come
the other children.â
He put it back reluctantly, and in a few minutes had made the
acquaintance of the dozen children which were all that Miss Andrews
had been able to bring together. Most of them belonged to the more
important families of the neighborhood. Tommy, of course, had never
before associated with them, and he felt strangely awkward and
embarrassed in their presence. He reflected inwardly, however, that
he could undoubtedly whip the biggest boy in the crowd in fair
fight; but all the reassurance that came from his physical strength
was presently taken out of him when he heard some of them, much
younger than himself, reading with more or less glibness from their
books.
He himself had his first struggle with the alphabet, and before the
hour ended had mastered some dozen letters. He rejoiced when he
learned that there were only twenty-six, but his heart fell again
when he found that each of them had two forms, a written and a
printed form, and that there were two variations of each form,
capitals and small letters. Between these he was, as yet, unable to
trace any resemblance or connection; but he kept manfully at work,
attacking each new letter much as a great general attacks each
division of the enemyâs army, until he has overcome them all. And it

Postemployed was imperfect and the cinders of their numerous
forges, wherever they are discovered, are found to contain
a very considerable portion of unsmelted metal. The first
smelting-furnace, and that which in all probability was used
by the Romans for the manufacture of iron, is supposed to be
the air-bloomery; it is described as a low conical structure,
with small openings at the bottom for the admission of air
and a large orifice at top for carrying off the gaseous
products of combustion. It was filled with charcoal and ore
in alternate layers, and the fire applied to the lowest part.
How long this simple contrivance continued in use we have no
means of ascertaining, the period to which it belongs being so
very remote; there is no doubt, however, that the next era of
improvement in the manufacture of iron was the introduction
of bellows, and the construction of the blast-bloomery, which
greatly facilitated the process of smelting, and, by allowing
the construction of larger furnaces, considerably increased
the manufacture. The blast-bloomery, in process of time and
the constant progression of the arts, was superseded by what

As âby hammer and hand all arts do stand,â so was the origin of the
Blacksmithsâ Guild in the nineteenth year of the reign of Edward III.,
1325. Like many others it is a fraternity by prescription, subsequently
incorporated by Royal Charter. âThe Articles of the Blacksmiths,â dated
the 46th of Edward III., A.D. 1372, are enrolled in Letter-book G, fo.
285, preserved among the Guildhall records, and a most interesting and
concise translation will be found in Mr. Rileyâs âMemorials of London,â
1868, p. 361. The Articles specially provide against the introduction
into the City of inferior foreign-made work, and the forging of
trademarks was, of course, a serious matter. âEvery master in the said
tra de shall put his own mark upon his work, such as heads of lances,
knives and axes, and other large work, that people may know who made them
in case default shall be found in the same.â Forgers of such mark were
dealt with without delay, and it is interesting to know that one of the
earliest of the overseers appointed resided near Holborn Bridge (now the
Viaduct), close to the Charity Trust Estate of the present Company. No
one was to be made free of the Guild unless he was skilled in his work
as an apprentice should be, so that we may be sure the early blacksmiths
truly represented their âart and mystery.â
âThe Ordinances of the Blacksmithsâ are enrolled in the Guildhall
âLetter-bookâ H., fo. 292, and will be found translated in Mr. Rileyâs
âMemorials,â p. 537. They are dated the 18 Richard 2nd, 1394. No smith
was to work throughout the night, or to annoy his neighbours, and the
hours of work were to be from 6 oâclock in the morning to 8 oâclock in
the evening in winter, and from the beginning of daylight to 9 oâclock at
night in summer. None to work in his shop on a Saturday, or on the eve
of a feast or holy day after the first stroke of the vesper bell, under
heavy fines and penalties. Two wardens to be annually elected for their
government, and strict search to be made in the City and suburbs for the
detection of false wares. No one to make a key for a lock unless he have
the lock to make it by, and nothing to be exposed for sale at any fair
until the wardens have certified it âgood and lawful.â
Forty years afterwards we find another enrolment, and among records
where such an entry would never be looked forâthe Register Book of the
Commissary of London, labelled âLiber 3 More, 1418-1438,â folio 455, now
preserved in the Probate Registry, Somerset House. We are indebted to Mr.
J. R. Daniel-Tyssen for the discovery in 1852, and to Mr. H. C. Coote
for editing and printing them in the âTransactions of the London and
Middlesex ArchÃological Society,â Vol. IV., pp. 32-35. They are entitledâ
Ordynances articulis, and constituciones ordeyned and grarnted
by the Worshypfull Maistres and Wardeynes in the Worship of
the Bretherhed of Saynt Loye, att the Fest of Ester, with alle
the hole company of the crafte of blaksmythes, who assemble in
Seynt Thomas of Acres and thence to the Grey Freres of London.
Founded and ordeyned atte the Fest of Ester, 1434, 12 Henry VI.
These ordinances provideâthat every servant (brother) pay 2_d._
quarterly, and every sister 1_d._ Strangers âfor yncomyng,â pay 2_s._
A beadle of the Yeomanry to be appointed who was to receive from every
brother âfor his salariâ one-halfpenny quarterly. âAnd whaune eny
brother other sisster be passed to God the seyd bedell to have for his
traveyle ij_d_.â Any member disobeying the orders âto be corrected be
the Oversseer,â and disobeying the second time he âschalbe put oute of
the crafte for evere.â New masters were to be chosen at the feast of
St. Loy. âIf therbe eny brother that telleth the Counseyle of the seyd
Brethered to his master prentis or to eny other man he shall paye to the
box ij_s._â Any brother scandalising another to be fined 12_d._ âAlso at
the quarter dai we will have baken conys as hit was be gonne.â Any master
breaking the rule to pay 6_s._ 8_d._ All fines were halvedâa moiety each
to âthe Mastres box,â and the Yeomenâs box. After some other orders
follow a list of the fellowship members, sixty-seven in number, headed by
John Lamborn, who was then, or had been, âMaster of the Yomen.â Two of
those signing the rules were the wives of two of the brethren, Stephen
Manne and William Mapull.
Although the Blacksmithsâ Guild was not in existence when St. Dunstan
played his harp, and worked at his forge and anvil, we cannot forbear
saying something about a prelate who has, more than any other, raised
the reputation of the âart and mystery,â which after 500 years still
flourishes within the boundaries of great London City, and at the time we
are writing this gives a splendid proof that it is not wanting in will or
way to attempt the improvement of the trade by advocating and supporting
technical education.

[95] This fruit, thrice cooked, is used as food by the Konyaks and
pronounced very good—“like ghi.” Cooked once only, it is used by them
as a rat poison.—J. H. H.
[96] A Chang who loses his way cuts off a bit of his hair and sticks it
in a cleft stick or the fork of a tree, no doubt as a substitute for
his own person. After which the python lets him go and he finds his way
home. A Sema under similar circumstances offers a bit of the fringe of
his cloth.—J. H. H.
[97] My experience of fish “poisoning” by Lhotas is that the discipline
of the leaders over the younger men beating the “poison” into the river
is so poor that the invariable result is that almost the only fish
taken are a few labeo, a bottom-feeding fish more susceptible to poison
than mahseer, and any cat-fish (Bagarius yarrellii or Silundia
gangetica or some similar Siluroid) that there may be in the river.
Ultimately I came to the conclusion that, as far as game-fish at any
rate were concerned, poisoning by niro did more good than harm, as it
cleared out the predatory fish while scarcely affecting the mahseer and
its kin. I found later that Mr. Soppitt’s experiences among the
Kacharis in the North Cachar Hills had led him to precisely the same
conclusion (see C. A. Soppitt, Historical and Descriptive Account of
the Kachari Tribes in the North Cachar Hills, Shillong, 1885. Reprinted
with an introduction by E. C. Stuart Baker, 1901, pp. 51, 52).—J. H. H.
[98] See p. 160.
[99] I have known Lhotas diving in the Doyang in the rains, when that
river was muddy and in spate, catch fish by hand without any sort of
aid, apparently picking them up stupid from the river bed.—J. H. H.
[100] On the other hand, the Aos and Changs place a high value on otter
flesh. They believe that fish-bones will never stick in the throat of
anyone who has eaten it. If a particularly large fish-bone does by any
chance stick in the throat of a Chang who has ever eaten otter meat he
has only to murmur “I am an otter,” and down it goes.
[101] Most Nagas, including Lhotas, eat hawks with avidity. Possibly
this accounts for it.—J. H. H.
[102] Probably the reason, in some cases at any rate, is the fear that
the propensity of the animal for destroying and wasting paddy will pass
to the woman, who is responsible for regulating the household
consumption, and thereby cause the household store of grain to be
unduly depleted. This is almost certainly the reason in the case of the
monkey and might apply equally to the wild mithan and buffalo, to the
bear and to the elephant. It could hardly be applied to the serow or to
the pangolin. The former of these two is a roaming animal and rarely
sleeps long in the same spot, which offers an obvious reason for the
prohibition. The pangolin is such a curious beast that anyone might shy
at eating him. The Sema forbids gibbon meat lest the children inherit
the cry.—J. H. H.
[103] A Lhota woman was accused in my court of having poisoned her
husband under circumstances which left little doubt as to her guilt in
my mind, though the charge could not be proved in court. It is
generally believed that women have knowledge of poisons which are
unknown to men, and I am inclined to think that the belief is not
without foundation.—J. H. H.
[104] The names of the lines given here are those current in Akuk. The
names vary considerably in different villages.
[105] Cf. T. C. Hodson, Naga Tribes of Manipur, p. 62. Cf. also
Lt.-Col. J. Shakespear, Kuki-Lushei Clans, for its prevalence
throughout the hills.
[106] This variety is, I think, identical with the Bean game as played
by the Angamis, while the other variety probably bears more resemblance
to the Sema game.—J. H. H.
[107] The Sema, like the Angami, flute has two round holes, burnt.—J.
H. H.
[108] The order given is that in which the first ancestors are said to
have emerged from the earth. The three phratries are regarded as being
of equal status. Tom-pyak-tserre is said to mean
“forehead-scraping-clean-men,” Izumon-tserre “scattered-men,” and
Mi-pong-san-dre “with fire-smoke-conquering-men.”
[109] A big Sema village of the Asimi clan in the Doyang valley,
south-east of the present Lhota country.
[110] Another tradition says that the old man was of the Nguli clan.
The Chorothui clan only numbers nine households all told. They do not
know to what phratry they belong.
[111] I have always heard the relationship stated as between the Sema
Wotsami and the Lhota Shetri. In any case I am inclined to think the
relationship between respective clans of different tribes an artificial
growth no doubt derived from the considerable diffusion of common blood
among the Naga tribes. If it were genuine the Wotsami clan of Semas
should be associated with the Othui rather than the Nguli or Shetri
clans. Vide infra, Part V.: Story of “How men were turned into
Gibbons.” Up to a certain point there is no doubt a real connection, as
the Ao Pongen or Pongrr, like the Sema Chishilimi, claim a patrician
descent distinct from that of other clans, while the corresponding Ang
clan among the Konyaks still retains its distinct patrician position. I
believe the Changs’ refusal to intermarry with a corresponding Ao clan
is probably no older than the absorption by the Changs of a number of
Ao villages at a comparatively recent date, when they also adopted the
practice of exposure of the dead. At the present time they expose or
bury as they feel inclined, but Colonel Woods, who toured in their
country in 1900, states specifically that they bury their dead and
makes no mention at all of exposure, though this was certainly
practised at that time by the neighbouring Ao, Phom and Konyak villages
also visited by Colonel Woods.—J. H. H.
[112] Cf. The Angami Nagas, Part III., “The Exogamous System,” and
Appendix III. under “Lhota.”—J. H. H.
[113] The Semas, who do the same, regard such marriages with favour
rather than disfavour, I think.—J. H. H.
[114] Cf. Sema chochomi.—J. H. H.
[115] This is what is normally done by the Semas.—J. H. H.
[116] A serious quarrel between villages resulting in bloodshed entails
a similar prohibition. For instance, Pungkitung once killed a number of
Lungsa men, and Lungsa retaliated in kind. To this day members of the
two villages cannot eat together, and a Lhota of another village who
has accepted hospitality in either Lungsa or Pungkitung cannot on the
same day take food from the hands of a man of the other village. This
bar does not, however, prevent the inhabitants of the two villages from
intermarrying freely.
[117] One “khel” of Rephyim is supposed to have died out because the
head-taking ceremony was once performed there with a Lhota head.
[118] So too the Kachins (Gazetteer of Upper Burma and the Shan States,
I. i. p. 432) and the Northern Brè (ibid. p. 533).—J. H. H.
[119] Yampongo of Phiro, a man of great note in his time. He died of a
burst blood-vessel when leading home a mithan captured in the
operations against the Kukis in 1918, and he was over sixty at the
time.—J. H. H.

11, note a.
[1665] This is distinctly stated by John of Salisbury:--
“Ille Theobaldus qui Christi præsidet aulæ,
Quam fidei matrem Cantia nostra colit,
Hunc successurum sibi sperat et orat, ut idem
Præsulis officium muniat atque locum.”
_Entheticus_, vv. 1293–1296 (Giles, vol. v. p. 280.)
Later writers dilate upon the startling contrast between Becket’s
character and policy as chancellor and as archbishop. That contrast
vanishes when we look at the chancellor through the eyes of the
two men who knew him best; and we find that the real contrast lies
between their view of him and that of the outside world which only
saw the surface of his life and could not fathom its inner depths.
Those who beheld him foremost in every military exercise and every
courtly pastime, far outdoing the king himself in lavish splendour
and fastidious refinement, devoting every faculty of mind and body
to the service and the pleasure of his royal friend:--those who saw
all this, and could only judge by what they saw, might well have
thought that for such a man to become the champion of the Church was a
dream to be realized only by miracle or by imposture. But Archbishop
Theobald and John of Salisbury had known his inmost soul, better
perhaps than he knew it himself, before ever he went to court; and
they knew that however startling his conduct there might look, he was
merely fulfilling in his own way the mission on which he had been sent
thither:--making himself all things to all men, if thereby he might by
any means influence the court and the king for good.[1666] Even his
suggestion of the scutage for the war of Toulouse did not seriously
shake their faith in him; they blamed him, but they believed that he
had erred in weakness, not in wilfulness.[1667] In the middle of the
war John dedicated the _Polycraticus_ to him as the one man about the
court to whom its follies and its faults could be criticized without
fear, because he had no part in them.[1668] Thomas himself does not
seem to have contemplated the possibility of removal from his present
sphere. It was not in his nature at any time to look far ahead; and
Henry seemed to find his attendance more indispensable than ever,
declaring in answer to Theobald’s intreaties and remonstrances that he
could not possibly spare him till peace was thoroughly restored.[1669]

Thomas was in a strait. His first duty was to his dying spiritual
father; but he could not go against the king’s will without running
such a risk as Theobald would have been the first to disapprove. Thomas
himself therefore at last suggested that the archbishop should try to
move the king by summoning his truant archdeacon to return home at
once on pain of deprivation.[1670] Theobald, unable to reconcile the
contradictory letters of king and chancellor with the general reports
of their wonderful unanimity, steered a middle course between severity
and gentleness, from fear of bringing down the royal displeasure upon
his favourite, whom he yet half suspected of being in collusion with
the king. His secretary, John, had no such doubts; but he too was
urgent that by some means or other Thomas should come over before
the primate’s death.[1671] If he did go, it can only have been for a
flying visit; and there is no sign that he went at all. One thing he
did obtain for Theobald’s satisfaction: the appointment of Bartholomew
archdeacon of Exeter to the bishopric of that diocese.[1672] In April
Richard Peche, on whom the see of Chester had been conferred, was
consecrated at Canterbury by Walter of Rochester, the archbishop
being carried into the chapel to sanction by his presence the rite in
which he was too feeble to assist.[1673] By the hand of the faithful
secretary John he transmitted to King Henry his last solemn benediction
and farewell, and commended to the royal care the future of his church
and the choice of his successor.[1674] A few days later, on April 18,
1161, the good primate passed away.[1675]

even forgetting her public situation, she burst into tears.
If Stanhope could have that moment clasped her to his arms, and poured
forth upon her bosom his thanks for her renewed avowal, what would he
not have given! But he could only press her arm as it lay within his
own, and murmur his gratitude. Oh! the ecstacy of that moment: it
repayed him for all he had suffered during the months he had been
separated from Ellen.
Their conversation was long and full of moment to their future lives.
Urged passionately by her lover, and half persuaded by her own heart,
Ellen consented at length to meet Stanhope in her morning walks; and
then, bursting afresh into tears, left him at the corner of the street,
not far from her fatherâs princely dwelling, and hurried home. It was a
hard task for her that day at the dinner table to conceal her emotion;
but she did so. When the meal was over, she hurried to her room to
indulge in her feelings. Had she done right in thus consenting to meet
her lover clandestinely? Her heart answered yesâher reason no. A fresh
flood of tears came to her relief, and thus tortured by conflicting
emotions, she sank toward morning into a troubled sleep.
Wellâthey metâonceâtwiceâdaily. It was a dream of bliss, but it
could not last. Every time they saw each other their love grew stronger.
Yet Ellen, although urged by her lover to elope, was unwilling to
consent to it. Indeed on this point she was inflexible. With tears she
said to herself in the solitude of her chamber, that if she had erred at
first through her inexperience, and allowed her affections to be placed
irrevocably on one whom her parent even unjustly disapproved of, she
would not go farther on the path of disobedience. She was young, and she
_hoped_. She trusted that time would make all right. But a bolt was
about to fall upon her head, which, for the honor of human nature, we
would gladly escape recording.
We have said little as yet directly of Mr. Howard, though a glimmering
of his character must have been perceptible in the foregoing pages.
Mean, crafty, purse-proud, haughty, and inflexible to obstinacy, he had
nothing in common with his daughter, except the tie of relationship.
Ellen was like her mother in every thing, but that mother had been long
since dead,âand could the secrets of her grave have been unfolded,
perhaps it might have been seen that she died of a broken heart. Yes!
her husband was her destroyer. But he did nothing which made him
amenable to the law. No. He was always outwardly respectful to his wife.
It was only at home that his brutality broke forth; and Mrs. Howard was
too meek and forgiving to publish her own sufferings. And thus like too
many gentle beings in our midst she drooped, and sickened, and died; and
when they laid her in her gorgeous coffin, and bore her to her tomb,
amid all the splendor of wealth, how little did they think that she had
been murderedâaye! murdered by her husbandâs brutality. God help the
thousands who thus die of a broken heart!
With such a father had Ellen now to do. He had forbidden her all
communication with her lover as soon as he suspected that they met,
threatening to disown her at once if she disobeyed, and Ellen was
returning from a parting interview with Stanhope, in which she had told
him of her fatherâs commands, and rejecting every proposal to elope, had
signified, with a burst of tears, her determination to obey her parent,
when on reaching the door-step she met Mr. Howard. He was in a towering
passion, though he affected at first to conceal it.
âVery well, Miss, very well. Youâve seen fit to disobey my orders,â he
commenced, âhave you? Iâve watched you, you hussy, myself,â he
continued, following his daughter into the hall, and closing the door,
âwhat have you to say?â
Ellen made a vain attempt to speak, but her emotions overpowered her,
and looking up imploringly into his face, she burst into tears.
âBy Gâ, Miss, Iâm not to be answered this way,â said Mr. Howard, not
longer affecting to conceal his rage, and brutally seizing his
daughterâs arm he shook it violently, âwhy donât you speak? None of your
whining: Answer me!â and again he shook her.
Never before had her parent used her thus. This personal indignity,
added to his brutal language, cut her to the heart, and brought on a
fresh flood of tears, which only increased her fatherâs rage. By this
time, too, the servants had gathered in the hall, and were witnesses of
the whole of this deplorable scene.
âDân it,â he said, his face flushing with passion, as he again shook
her violently, âIâll bring an answer out of youâI will. Ainât you going
to speak? I told you Iâd disown you for this,âand,â here he muttered an
oath I dare not repeat, âI will. You and your beggarly, upstart
paramourââoh! had that father a heart?ââmay go to the alms-house
together. Out of my door this instant. You are no daughter of mine. Out,
I say. Open the door, John.â
The man hesitated an instant. It only increased the rage of Mr. Howard.
âOpen the door, I say. By Gâ am I to be disobeyed by all of you? Iâll
remember you for this, you villainâyouââ
âIâm sure I donât care,â said the man, almost crying; for he had lived
in the family since Ellen was a babe, and loved her as his own, âfor if
you are going to turn my poor dear mistress out of doors the sooner I
follow the better. Iâd not live with such a brute,â continued he,
boldly, âfor millions.â
âOut of the house, both of you, out, I say,â roared Mr. Howard, with a
volley of curses, for he was now stung to an ungovernable rage, and
cared not what he did, âbegone!â and taking his daughter by the
shoulders he pushed her violently toward the door.
Up to this period of the scene, the events of which had passed in less
time than we take to describe them, Ellen, stupefied and astonished, had
been unable to utter a word. Her fatherâs unparalleled barbarity called
forth continued floods of tears. But she now spoke.
âOh! father,â she said, âdo not turn me from your doors. You are my only
parent, and I will, I would have told you all. I only went to bid
farewell to himâindeed, indeed I didââ
âYou met him, you own to it,â said Mr. Howard, almost choked with rage,
âbefore my face. This is too muchâout I say.â
âFather! Father!â said Ellen, falling on her knees, âdo not cast me off.
For the love of heaven do not. I will be all you ask. I will never see
him again; I have parted with him foreverâoh! father! fatherââ
âYes! you may father, father me now till you are tired; but itâs too
late. Go, and see if your beggar of a clerk can help you. Go, and Godâs
and a fatherâs curse go with you!â and, with the fury of a madman the
brutal parent seized his daughter by the arms, lifted her up, and
pushing her so violently from the door that she went reeling down the
steps, slammed it to after her. Ellen was aloneâno! not alone, for the
faithful John, who had sacrificed his place for her was at her side, and
as the innocent outcast looking wildly up at the portal which was thus
forever closed upon her, gave a faint cry, and fell insensible to the
pavement, he caught her in his arms, and bearing her to a neighboring
shop, gave her in charge to | [

proceed, and is too long to notice at length all of them. But the name
of Isaiah, the great evangelical prophet, and that of Jeremiah, the
weeping prophet, must not be left out of the account. Still others
might be mentioned. These are sufficient, and with their names we may
close the list. Let careful readers of the Old Scriptures keep the
prayer question in mind, and they will see how great a place prayer
occupied in the minds and lives of the men of those early days.
CHAPTER III
ABRAHAM, THE MAN OF PRAYER
_Oh for determined men and women, who will rise early and really burn
out for God. Oh for a faith that will sweep into heaven with the early
dawning of the morning and have ships from a shoreless sea loaded in
the soul’s harbor ere the ordinary laborer has knocked the dew from
his scythe or the huckster has turned from his pallet of straw to
spread nature’s treasures of fruit before the early buyers._--REV.
HOMER W. HODGE.
Abraham, the friend of God, was a striking illustration of one of the
Old Testament saints who believed strongly in prayer. Abraham was not
a shadowy figure by any means. In the simplicity and dimness of the
patriarchal dispensation, as illustrated by him, we learn the worth of
prayer, as well as discover its antiquity. The fact is, prayer reaches
back to the first ages of man on earth. We see how the energy of prayer
is absolutely required in the simplest as well as in the most complex
dispensations of God’s grace. When we study Abraham’s character,
we find that after his call to go out into an unknown country, on
his journey with his family and his household servants, wherever
he tarried by the way for the night or longer, he always erected an
altar, and “called upon the name of the Lord.” And this man of faith
and prayer was one of the first to erect a family altar, around
which to gather his household and offer the sacrifices of worship,
of praise and of prayer. These altars built by Abraham were, first
of all, essentially altars about which he gathered his household, as
distinguished from secret prayer.
As God’s revelations became fuller and more perfect, Abraham’s
prayerfulness increased, and it was at one of these spiritual eras
that “Abraham fell on his face and God talked with him.” On still
another occasion we find this man, “the father of the faithful,” on
his face before God, astonished almost to incredulity at the purposes
and revelations of Almighty God to him in promising him a son in his
old age, and the wonderful engagements which God made concerning his
promised son.
Even Ishmael’s destiny is shaped by Abraham’s prayer when he prayed, “O
that Ishmael might live before thee!”
What a remarkable story is that of Abraham’s standing before God
repeating his intercessions for the wicked city of Sodom, the home of
his nephew Lot, doomed by God’s decision to destroy it! Sodom’s fate
was for a while stayed by Abraham’s praying, and was almost entirely
relieved by the humility and insistence of the praying of this man
who believed strongly in prayer and who knew how to pray. No other
recourse was opened to Abraham to save Sodom but prayer. Perhaps the
failure to ultimately rescue Sodom from her doom of destruction was due
to Abraham’s optimistic view of the spiritual condition of things in
that city. It might have been possible,--who knows?--that if Abraham
had entreated God once more, and asked Him to spare the city if even
one righteous man was found there, for Lot’s sake, He might have heeded
Abraham’s request.
Note another instance in the life of Abraham as showing how he was
a man of prayer and had power with God. Abraham had journeyed to
and was sojourning in Gerar. Fearing that Abimelech might kill him
and appropriate Sarah his wife to his own lustful uses, he deceived
Abimelech by claiming that Sarah was his sister. God appeared unto
Abimelech in a dream and warned him not to touch Sarah, telling him
that she was the wife of Abraham, and not his sister. Then he said
unto Abimelech, “Now restore therefore the man his wife; for he is a
prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live.” And the
conclusion of the incident is thus recorded: “So Abraham prayed unto
God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his maid servants, and
they bare children. For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of
the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, his wife.”
This was a case somewhat on the line of that of Job at the close of
his fearful experience and his terrible trials, when his friends, not
understanding Job, neither comprehending God’s dealings with this
servant of His, falsely charged Job with being in sin as the cause of
all his troubles. God said to these friends of Job, “My servant Job
shall pray for you, for him will I accept. And the Lord turned the
captivity of Job when he had prayed for his friends.”
Almighty God knew His servant Job as a man of prayer, and He could
afford to send these friends of Job to him to pray in order to carry
out and fulfill His plans and purposes.
It was Abraham’s rule to stand before the Lord in prayer. His life
was surcharged with prayer and Abraham’s dispensation was sanctified
by prayer. For wherever he halted in his pilgrimage, prayer was his
inseparable accompaniment. Side by side with the altar of sacrifice was
the altar of prayer. He got up early in the morning to the place where
he stood before the Lord in prayer.
CHAPTER IV
MOSES, THE MIGHTY INTERCESSOR
_Intercessory Prayer is a powerful means of grace to the praying man.
Martyn observes that at times of inward dryness and depression, he had
often found a delightful revival in the act of praying for others for
their conversion, or sanctification, or prosperity in the work of the
Lord. His dealings with God for them about these gifts and blessings
were for himself the divinely natural channel of a renewed insight
into his own part and lot in Christ, into Christ as his own rest and
power, into the “perfect freedom” of an entire yielding of himself to
his Master for His work._--BISHOP HANDLEY C. G. MOULE.
Prayer unites with the purposes of God and lays itself out to secure
those purposes. How often would the wise and benign will of God fail
in its rich and beneficent ends by the sins of the people if prayer
had not come in to arrest wrath and make the promise sure! Israel as
a nation would have met their just destruction and their just fate
after their apostasy with the golden calf had it not been for the
interposition and unfainting importunity of Moses’ forty days’ and
forty nights’ praying!
Marvelous was the effect of the character of Moses by his marvelous
praying. His near and sublime intercourse with God in the giving
of the law worked no transfiguration of character like the tireless
praying of those forty days in prayer with God. It was when he came
down from that long struggle of prayer that his face shone with such
dazzling brightness. Our mounts of transfiguration and the heavenly
shining in character and conduct are born of seasons of wrestling
prayer. All-night praying has changed many a Jacob, the supplanter,
into Israel, a prince, who has power with God and with men.
No mission was more majestic in purpose and results than that of
Moses, and none was more responsible, diligent and difficult. In it
we are taught the sublime ministry and rule of prayer. Not only is it
the medium of supply and support, but it is a compassionate agency
through which the pitying long-suffering of God has an outflow. Prayer
is a medium to restrain God’s wrath, that mercy might rejoice against
judgment.
Moses himself and his mission were the creation of prayer. Thus it is
recorded: “When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto
the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers
out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.” This is the genesis
of the great movement for the deliverance of the Hebrews from Egyptian | [

“And I also,” said Mr. Pym, examining the flint of his musket.
“Why, then, come your ways, sirs,” said Mr. Potter; “but if we be took,
’tis as smugglers you’ll be sarved——”
“And why not?” retorted Mr. Pym argumentatively. “Are not all Sussex folk
smugglers at heart—aye, and mankind in general, for matter o’ that?”
“Well, good fortun’ go wi’ ye, sirs,” said Mr. Bunkle. “’Twill be
middlin’ dark; moon doan’t rise till three o’clock.... An’ there’ll be a
bowl o’ summat ’ot waitin’ agin your return. You ought to be back inside
two hours, eh, Jarge?”
“Why, as to that, Peter,” answered Mr. Potter in his placid manner, “what
is to be, will be, I rackon!” And opening a door he led them forth by a
discreetly unobtrusive passage that brought them to a back lane, to a
footpath skirting the rope walk, and so to a steep upland, rising against
the stars.
Once clear of the village, Mr. Potter went at a pace that Sir John found
somewhat trying by reason of the difficult country. Moreover, his hurt
arm irked him; but Mr. Pym strode unfaltering, up hill and down, despite
the heavy musket he bore, and Sir Hector’s long legs seemed tireless.
Though there was no moon as yet, the stars made a palpitant glow, a
glimmering dusk wherein all objects loomed up vague and unfamiliar. To
Sir John the dim forms of his silent companions seemed like phantoms in a
phantom world; stumbling and breathless he struggled on, feeling as one
in a nightmare, conscious of spectral shapes that reached out ghostly
arms, or touched him with clammy fingers—things that by day were trees
and bushes, but now were things very evil and sinister.
On he stumbled, sometimes treading the dust of a road, but mostly they
seemed to be climbing or descending some grassy slope.
Mr. Potter went by ways known only to himself; he led them through narrow
lanes deep-sunk in the chalk, through black alleys roofed by tangled
thickets and dense-growing bushes, leafy tunnels sweet with honeysuckle;
up and up and down steep, thymey slopes, across lush meadows where
the feet sank deep, past brooks that gurgled sleepily in the dark; on
and ever on, reeling and sweating through a windless darkness, until,
breasting a slope, there met them a sweet, cool breath and to their ears
came the hoarse murmur of the sea. Then Mr. Potter halted, and when he
spoke it was in a whisper:
“Yonder lays Cuckmere, sirs ... tide’ll be at flood in ’arf an hour, I
rackon, an’ the _True Believer_ should be a-layin’ hove-to out yonder.
Afore Sharkie stands in he’ll show two lights—white above red, which
means, ‘Is arl clear?’ Then, if there be spies yonder they’ll swing a
lanthorn from the cliff, which means, ‘Arl clear.’ So bide ye here, sirs,
an’ watch fur Sharkie’s signal whiles I tak’ a look round. But dappen ye
see Potter’s wepping flash, why, then—run for your lives ... an’ softly
it be!” So saying Mr. Potter dropped upon hands and knees, crawled away
and vanished.
Sir John, panting upon the grass, could make out the loom of precipitous
cliff, the vague line of shore, the white foam of incoming tide; upon
his right hand crouched Mr. Pym, the barrel of his musket cutting across
the stars, upon his left knelt Sir Hector, bulking more gigantic than
nature in the dimness; and then he was startled by Mr. Potter’s voice
immediately behind him:
“Back, sirs, back an’ easy it is, for y’r lives!... They sojers be right
afore us—thick as mushrooms ... aye, thick as ’rooms they be, so easy it
is, sirs ... we must to the beach ... foller Potter, sirs ... an’ tread
cautious!”
Gliding like phantoms, they followed whither Mr. Potter led, while
ever the beat of the incoming waves grew louder. Suddenly beneath Sir
John’s foot a piece of rotten driftwood snapped, seeming to him loud as
a pistol-shot, and he stood, breath in check, half expecting a hoarse
challenge and the roaring flash of musketry; instead, he heard Mr.
Potter’s whisper:
“Lay down, sirs ... easy! Now watch the sea yonder!”
To Sir John, thus outstretched, hearing only the throb of his own heart
and remembering all those men who lay so murderously silent, so patiently
watchful and expectant, it seemed that looming cliff and vague foreshore
were places of supreme horror, since death lurked there; the very night
seemed foul of it.
And then came Mr. Potter’s soft, untroubled whisper:
“Yonder, sirs!... Yonder cometh Sharkie Nye!... D’ye see yon twinkle?...
Up she swings—the white!... Now the red! Aye, yonder lays the _True
Believer_ hove to an’ waitin’ the answerin’ signal.... Watch the cliff,
sirs——”
Almost as he spoke, was an answering beam of light upon the grim
headland, a light that winked once or twice and then was swiftly lowered
until it hung suspended half-way down the cliff.
“O Geordie-man—O Geordie!” whispered Sir Hector. “’Tis betrayed ye are,
lad—yon proves it beyond a’ doot!”
“Aye, by the Pize,” whispered Mr. Potter, “yonder’s black treachery!
A light a-top o’ cliff any fule might show ... but a light a-dangle
’arf-way down!... Look, sir—God love us ... Sharkie be a-standin’ in——”
“To his death, Geordie—himsel’ and a’ his lads!”
“Not whiles Potter can waarn ’em, sirs!” And, speaking, Mr. Potter got to
his knees, but there Mr. Pym’s grip on his leg arrested him.
“What’s to do, George?” he inquired.
“Liddle enough, sir, but arl I can.... Potter be a-goin’ down yonder to
th’ edge o’ the tide, an’ soon as they be nigh enough I lets fly with
both my pistols——”
“And commit suicide, George Potter!”
“Why, they sojers may miss me, sir ... an’ I shall run amazin’ quick
and—hark, sir ... Sharkie be a-towin’ in wi’ his boats!” Sure enough,
faint though distinct was the sound of oars.
“Lord love me!” exclaimed Mr. Potter, his placidity quite gone. “They be
closer ashore than I thought ... loose my leg, sir!”
“Not so, George!” answered the painter. “Your plan is extreme clumsy and
offers but problematical chance o’ success whiles you run great risk o’
wounds or death, and Captain Nye may be nothing advantaged. Now, upon the
other hand——”
“Mus’ Pym, Mus’ Pym, it be no time to arg’—lemme go, sir!”
“Heark’ee now, George Potter, ’twill take Sharkie Nye some half-hour to
tow into musket-shot in this dark whiles yon lanthorn, though a fairish
distance, is yet well within range ... nay, patience, George, lie still
and listen to me! The trouble seems to be yonder lanthorn—very well, let
us incontinent extinguish yon lanthorn....”
“Aye, but how, sir—how?”
“Hold thy tongue, George, and give me elbow-room.”
