# Littell's Living Age/Volume 162/Issue 2099/Confessio Fidei

Outside, the green-fingered fir-tree  Taps against the window-pane; And the moon, that pale eaves-dropper,  Slyly peeps in on us twain;
On us wide awake, still chatting:  Through the half-closed bedroom door (Mother, father, both are sleeping)  Comes a distant muffled snore.
"No, you never will persuade me  That your daily prayers you say; No, your lips are ever quivering,  Not like lips of men who pray;
"That satiric wicked quiver  Strikes me with a sudden chill, Though one eye-glance, true and tender,  All my doubts and fears can still.
"Yours, I'm sure, is not the right creed  All good men believe, almost; Tell me true, do you believe in  Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?"
"Ah, my child, when yet a small boy  At my mother's knee I stood, I believed in God the Father  High in Heaven, great and good:
"Who this glorious earth created,  And us men, a glorious race; Earth and sun and moon and planets.  Pre-ordained for each his place.
"Then, my child, as I grew older,  Grew in years and wisdom won, Reason taught me wider knowledge;  I believe too in the Son.
"In the Son who, love revealing,  Lived for us and loved and died, By the world, as the world's way is,  In requital crucified.
"Now I've read much, much have travelled,  Riper insight now can boast, And my heart swells, with my whole heart  I believe in Holy Ghost.
"Marvels great he wrought of old time,  Greater will he work again; He bath burst th' oppressor's stronghold,  He bath broke the prisoner's chain.
"Old-world wounds the Spirit healeth  And renews the ancient right; All mankind by birth are equal,  All are noble in his sight.
"He dispels the mists and cobwebs,  Grinning phantoms of the brain, Which by day and night molest us,  Mar our joy and mock our pain.
"Thousand knights well-harnessed serve him  Day and night fulfil his best; He hath armed their hands for battle,  And with courage filled their breast.
"Flash their trusty swords like lightning,  Stream afar their banners bold! Ah, my child, 'twould please you rarely  Such brave champions to behold.
"Well then look on me - and kiss me -  Look straight at one, for I boast I too, child, am of the knighthood,  Knighthood of the Holy Ghost!"

United States Supreme Court
151 U.S. 324
Maynard v. Hecht
Statement by Mr. Chief Justice FULLER:
Charles Hecht filed his petition in the circuit court of the United States for the district of Nebraska, October 14, 1890, against the plaintiffs in error, alleging that the amount in controversy in the suit exceeded the sum or value of $2,000, exclusive of interest and costs, and that he had been damaged in the sum of $2,500 by reason of the purchase, upon defendants' false and fraudulent representations in writing, of certain land, for which he paid the sum of $1,800, and which turned out to be without value. The petition, among other things, averred that plaintiff had executed a deed of reconveyance of the property in question, and formally tendered the same, and he brought said deed into court, and also a promissory note of the Saline County Nurseries given to him at the time of the purchase as indemnity against a mortgage upon the premises, and prayed judgment for $2,500, together with interest and costs. Defendants answered, denying the allegations of the petition, and alleging that the purchase price of the land was paid in horses, which Hecht guarantied to be sound, but which were in fact worthless. To this answer a reply in general denial was filed, and, trial having been had, a verdict was returned in favor of Hecht for $1,720. Defendants then moved for a new trial, and the same day filed a motion to dismiss the case upon the ground that the circuit court had no jurisdiction, since it appeared from the petition that the amount in controversy was less than the sum of $2,000, exclusive of interest and costs, and no veidence was introduced at the trial tending to prove that the amount exceeded that sum. June 10, 1891, the court overruled each of the motions and entered judgment upon the verdict. The writ of error was allowed November 16, 1891. No certificate of question for decision was applied for, or granted by the court.
Waller H. Smith, C. W. Holcomb, Walter J. Lamb, Arnott C. Ricketts, and Henry H. Wilson, for the motion.
C. S. Montgomery, opposed.
Mr. Chief Justice FULLER, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.

# Lustra/The Rest

The Rest
O Helpless few in my country, O remnant enslaved!
Artists broken against her, A-stray, lost in the villages, Mistrusted, spoken-against,
Lovers of beauty, starved, Thwarted with systems, Helpless against the control;
You who can not wear yourselves out By persisting to successes, You who can only speak, Who can not steel yourselves into reiteration;
You of the finer sense, Broken against false knowledge, You who can know at first hand, Hated, shut in, mistrusted:
Take thought: I have weathered the storm, I have beaten out my exile.
# Lustra/The River Song

The River Song
This boat is of shato-wood, and its gunwales are cut magnolia, Musicians with jewelled flutes and with pipes of gold Fill full the sides in rows, and our wine Is rich for a thousand cups. We carry singing girls, drift with the drifting water, Yet Sennin needs A yellow stork for a charger, and all our seamen Would follow the white gulls or ride them. Kutsu's prose song Hangs with the sun and moon.
King So's terraced palace is now but a barren hill, But I draw pen on this barge Causing the five peaks to tremble, And I have joy in these words like the joy of blue islands. (If glory could last forever
Then the waters of Han would flow northward.) And I have moped in the Emperor's garden, awaiting an
order-to-write! I looked at the dragon-pond, with its willow-coloured
water Just reflecting the sky's tinge, And heard the five-score nightingales aimlessly singing.
The eastern wind brings the green colour into the island
grasses at Yei-shu, The purple house and the crimson are full of Spring
softness. South of the pond the willow-tips are half-blue and bluer, Their cords tangle in mist, against the brocade-like palace. Vine-strings a hundred feet long hang down from carved
railings, And high over the willows, the fine birds sing to each
other, and listen, Crying—"Kwan, Kuan," for the early wind, and the feel of it. The wind bundles itself into a bluish cloud and wanders off. Over a thousand gates, over a thousand doors are the sounds
of spring singing, And the Emperor is at Ko. Five clouds hang aloft, bright on the purple sky,
The imperial guards come forth from the golden house
with their armour a-gleaming. The Emperor in his jewelled car goes out to inspect his
flowers, He goes out to Hori, to look at the wing-flapping storks, He returns by way of Sei rock, to hear the new nightingales, For the gardens at Jo-run are full of new nightingales, Their sound is mixed in this flute, Their voice is in the twelve pipes here. By Rihaku. 8th century A.D.
# Lustra/The Seeing Eye

The Seeing Eye
The small dogs look at the big dogs; They observe unwieldy dimensions And curious imperfections of odour.
Here is a formal male group: The young men look upon their seniors, They consider the elderly mind And observe its inexplicable correlations.
Said Tsin-Tsu: It is only in small dogs and the young That we find minute observation.
# Lustra/The Jewel Stairs' Grievance

The Jewel Stairs' Grievance
The jewelled steps are already quite white with dew, It is so late that the dew soaks my gauze stockings, And I let down the crystal curtain And watch the moon through the clear autumn. By Rihaku.
Note.—Jewel stairs, therefore a palace. Grievance, therefore there is something to complain of. Gauze stockings, therefore a court lady, not a servant who complains. Clear autumn, therefore he has no excuse on account of weather. Also she has come early, for the dew has not merely whitened the stairs, but has soaked her stockings. The poem is especially prized because she utters no direct reproach.

The Social Order
I
Whose wife is several years his senior, Has such a caressing air When he shakes hands with young ladies.
II (Pompes Funèbres)
Who was "so old that she was an atheist," Is now surrounded By six candles and a crucifix, While the second wife of a nephew Makes hay with the things in her house. Her two cats Go before her into Avernus; A sort of chloroformed suttee, And it is to be hoped that their spirits will walk With their tails up, And with a plaintive, gentle mewing, For it is certain that she has left on this earth No sound Save a squabble of female connections.

Erinna is a model parent, Her children have never discovered her adulteries.
Lalage is also a model parent, Her offspring are fat and happy.
# Lustra/The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter

The River-Merchant's Wife: a Letter
While my hair was still cut straight across my forehead I played about the front gate, pulling flowers You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse, You walked about my seat, playing with blue plums. And we went on living in the village of Chokan: Two small people, without dislike or suspicion.
At fourteen I married My Lord you. I never laughed, being bashful. Lowering my head, I looked at the wall. Called to, a thousand times, I never looked back.
At fifteen I stopped scowling, I desired my dust to be mingled with yours Forever and forever, and forever. Why should I climb the look out?
At sixteen you departed, You went into far Ku-to-Yen, by the river of swirling eddies,
And you have been gone five months. The monkeys make sorrowful noise overhead. You dragged your feet when you went out. By the gate now, the moss is grown, the different mosses, Too deep to clear them away! The leaves fall early this autumn, in wind. The paired butterflies are already yellow with August Over the grass in the West garden, They hurt me. I grow older, If you are coming down through the narrows of the river Kiang, Please let me know beforehand, And I will come out to meet you, As far as Cho-fu-Sa. By Rihaku.
# Lustra/The Spring

The Spring
Cydonian spring with her attendant train,
Maelids and water-girls, Stepping beneath a boisterous wind from Thrace, Throughout this sylvan place Spreads the bright tips, And every vine-stock is Clad in new brilliancies. And wild desire
Falls like black lightning.
O bewildered heart,
Though every branch have back what last year lost, She, who moved here amid the cyclamen, Moves only now a clinging tenuous ghost.
# Lustra/The Study in Aesthetics

The Study in Aesthetics
The very small children in patched clothing, Being smitten with an unusual wisdom, Stopped in their play as she passed them And cried up from their cobbles: Guarda! Ahi, guarda! ch' è be'a!
But three years after this I heard the young Dante, whose last name I do not know— For there are, in Sirmione, twenty-eight young Dantes and thirty-four Catulli;
And there had been a great catch of sardines, And his elders Were packing them in the great wooden boxes For the market in Brescia, and he Leapt about, snatching at the bright fish And getting in both of their ways; And in vain they commanded him to sta fermo! And when they would not let him arrange The fish in the boxes He stroked those which were already arranged, Murmuring for his own satisfaction This identical phrase: Ch' è be'a.
And at this I was mildly abashed.

Stretch'd on a mouldered Abbey's broadest wall,  Where ruining ivies propped the ruins steep— Her folded arms wrapping her tattered pall,  Had melancholy mus'd herself to sleep.  The fern was press'd beneath her hair,  The dark green adder's tongue was there; And still as passed the flagging sea-gale weak, The long lank leaf bowed fluttering o'er her cheek.
That pallid cheek was flushed: her eager look  Beamed eloquent in slumber! Inly wrought,  Imperfect sounds her moving lips forsook, And her bent forehead worked with troubled thought.  Strange was the dream—

# Loyalty (Colby)

It is important that we should constantly keep before us the duty of inculcating in the minds of our citizens from overseas the true meaning and significance of America, and the high duty that rests upon every generation to sustain our blessed institutions, and to transmit them to posterity strengthened and unimpaired. The test of good citizenship is loyalty to country. And one cannot discharge the duty of loyalty without the patient and an open minded study of the institution that marked the country and defined its character. America stands for individual liberty, but that means an ordered liberty. A liberty subject to law and subordinate to the common welfare.
The social and industrial structure of America is founded upon an enlightened citizenship. This presupposes education. Americanism demands loyalty to the teacher and respect for his lesson. I am deeply concerned with the diminution of the teaching strength of the country as a result of the disproportionately low salaries that are paid to teachers throughout the country. We must look to this right promptly. It is a condition that must not be suffered to continue.
Loyalty to America means loyalty to her children's servants from president down. We must stifle the voice of hatred and faction. We must realize that there is not a man who holds office except as a result of the free choice of our citizens. It is a high patriotic duty that we support and sustain the men who have been placed in position of difficulty, burden, responsibility, and even danger as the result of our suffrages. That does not mean that we must forego just and fair criticism, or refrain from opposition to policies which are debatable or which do not command our approval. An intelligent and conscientious opposition is a part of loyalty to country. But we must not, if we are loyal, disperse our energies in a partisan warfare that is waged without regard to its consequences to the well being, security, or honor of the country.
We must be loyal to the forum of our government. Under it we have grown great in numbers, wealth, and national influence. We must be loyal to the words that have come down to us from the past, bequeathed by Americans who have lived great lives in the service of America. Loyalty to America requires that we should preserve a friendly and encouraging and sympathetic goodwill toward our day and generation. Like pictures, men should be judged by their merits and not by their defects. Loyalty will not permit envy, hate, and uncharitableness to creep into our public thinking. Thus, only in a hopeful and confident temper, in a proud and constructive spirit, will we rescue the present and safeguard the future of our beloved country. The times call loudly to each of us for loyalty -- loyalty of purpose, loyalty of thought, loyalty of effort, and the loyalty of patience.

# Loyalty (Gerard)

I know that it is hard for Americans to realize the magnitude of the war in which we are involved. We have problems in this war no other nations have. Fortunately, the great majority of American citizens of German descent have, in this great crisis of our history, shown themselves splendidly loyal to our flag. Everyone had a right to sympathize with any warring nation. But now that we are in the war there are only two sides, and the time has come when every citizen must declare himself American -- or traitor!
We must disappoint the Germans who have always believed that the German-Americans here would risk their property, their children's future, and their own neck, and take up arms for the Kaiser. The Foreign Minister of Germany once said to me "your country does not dare do anything against Germany, because we have in your country 500,000 German reservists who will rise in arms against your government if you dare to make a move against Germany." Well, I told him that that might be so, but that we had 501,000 lamp posts in this country, and that that was where the reservists would be hanging the day after they tried to rise. And if there are any German-Americans here who are so ungrateful for all the benefits they have received that they are still for the Kaiser, there is only one thing to do with them. And that is to hog-tie them, give them back the wooden shoes and the rags they landed in, and ship them back to the Fatherland.
I have travelled this year over all the United States. Through the Alleghenies, the White Mountains, and the Catskills, the Rockies and the Bitterroot Mountains, the Cascades, the Coast Range, and the Sierras. And in all these mountains, there is no animal that bites and kicks and squeals and scratches, that would bite and squeal and scratch equal to a fat German-American, if you commenced to tie him up and told him that he was on his way back to the Kaiser.

179 U.S. 196
Lowry v. Silver City Gold and Silver Mining Company
Argued: and Submitted November 14, 1900. --- Decided: December 3, 1900
This was plainly an attempt on the part of the plaintiffs in error-two of whom were lessees of the defendant in error-under the forms of law to appropriate to themselves property which for years had been in the unchallenged possession of the defendant in error, and upon which it had expended many hundreds of dollars. That such attempt was unsuccessful in the courts is no more than was to be expected.
The supreme court of the state placed its decisions upon two grounds: First, that, although the Evening Star claim included the original discovery shaft of the Wheeler claim, it did not thereby destroy that claim in view of the fact that long prior to the location of the Evening Star the owners of the Wheeler had located a new shaft and developed the mine in that shaft. Gwillim v. Donnellan, 115 U.S. 45, 29 L. ed. 348, 5 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1110, was held not applicable. The other ground was estoppel by virtue of the lease under which two of the plaintiffs in error acquired possession. While the former ground is the one principally discussed in the opinion, the latter was adverted to in a few words at its close. The latter is sufficient to dispose of the case in this court. Eustis v. Bolles, 150 U.S. 361, 37 L. ed. 1111, 14 Sup. Ct. Rep. 131. See also De Lamar's Nevada Gold Min. Co. v. Nesbitt, 177 U.S. 523, 44 L. ed. 872, 20 Sup. Ct. Rep. 715, and cases cited in the opinion. The writ of error is dismissed.
