# Littell's Living Age/Volume 137/Issue 1776/A Ballad of May

Originally published in Spectator, 25 May, 1878.
* A BALLAD OF MAY.
* Sparkling like a diamond
* Beams the daystar in the skies;
* Nature, loosed from winter's bond,
* Smiles as one in sweet surprise.
* Light and life are firm allies;
* Hawthorns wear their wedding white,
* Pastures show their greenest guise, -
* Earth is laughing with delight.
* Branches leafy vests have donned,
* Buds and blossoms glad the eyes,
* Brakes and ferns unfurl the frond,
* Daisy-bloom with clover vies;
* Sings the runnel as it hies,
* Swallows twitter in their flight,
* Master rook his pinions tries, —
* Earth is laughing with delight.
* Tadpoles people pool and pond,
* Cushat-calls and coos arise,
* Chaffers of the dusk are fond,
* All day long the cuckoo cries;
* Gauzy insects, butterflies,
* Flutter forth to see the sight;
* Lo! the bee with saffron thighs, -
* Earth is laughing with delight.
* Envoi.
* Lady, 'tis no time for sighs,
* While the world is buoyant, bright;
* Love is not a vague surmise, -
* Earth is laughing with delight.
* Spectator.W. H. Brett.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 137/Issue 1776/Apple-Blossoms

* APPLE-BLOSSOMS.
* The orchard grass is sunshine-barred,
* And starry-white upon the sward
* The pretty daisies lie;
* I rest beneath a mossy tree,
* And through its waving branches see
* The sapphire of the sky.
* I feel the balmy breeze of May
* Soft-blowing down the grassy way,
* And in the boughs above
* The little birds break into song,
* And praise, in thrilling strains and strong,
* Spring's halcyon days of love.
* The apple-blossoms fall around,
* And fleck the daisy-chequered ground
* As breezes softly blow;
* I stretch a lazy hand aloft,
* And grasp a cluster silken-soft,
* Like rosy-tinted snow.
* I look at every tender leaf,
* And marvel why a life so brief,
* To such sweet things is given;
* Why not for them a longer space
* To blossom gaily in their place,
* Beneath the summer heaven?
* Why not for them a longer time
* To feel the sun at morning prime,
* To see the moon at night?
* To quiver by soft breezes stirred;
* To listen when God's morning bird
* Sings heavenward his delight?
* Ah me, my heart! it must be so,
* The blossom drops that fruit may grow,
* The sweetness of the flower
* Dies early on the vernal breeze,
* That autumn-time may bless the trees
* With gold and crimson dower.
* Ah me; my heart! so must thou see
* The flowery hopes that gladden thee,
* In this thy morning prime,
* Fade in the fair place where they grow,
* Drop round thee swiftly like the snow
* Of apple-blossom time.
* But if they leave thee good and true,
* And pure as when they blossomed new,
* Then gladly let them go;
* Where now these fairy blossoms be,
* In God's good time thine eyes shall see
* Thy life's fair harvest glow!
* All The Year Round.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 138/Issue 1777/May

* MAY.
* Come, let us goe, while we are in our prime, And take the harmlesse follie of the time. Herrick.
* Spring's hands, in Shakespeare's words, you say,
* "Do paint the meadows with delight" —
* I go where artist hands in May
* Hang paintings far more bright!
* Though soft the twilight star that shines
* On grassy mead and limpid stream —
* The stars I seek when day declines
* In Covent Garden beam!
* Though sweet the thousand liquid notes
* Your feathered songsters warble here —
* My birds of eve from tuneful throats
* Now utter notes more dear!
* Farewell, ye streams, ye meads, ye flowers,
* Until your autumn robes ye wear —
* Though May is fair in country bowers,
* 'Tis fairest in Mayfair!
* Spectator.Townshend Mayer.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 137/Issue 1776/Love's Burial

Original German title: Altes Lied.
* LOVE'S BURIAL.
* Thou hast passed from life, and thou knowest it not;
* The light is quenched in thine eyes, I wot;
* Thy rose-red mouth, it is wan and sere,
* And thou art dead, my poor dead dear!
* One summer night, myself I saw
* Thee laid in earth with a shuddering awe;
* The nightingales fluted low, dirge-like lays,
* And the stars came out on thy bier to gaze.
* As the mourning train through the wood defiles,
* Their litany peals up the branching aisles;
* The pine-trees, in funeral mantles dressed,
* Moan prayers for the soul that is gone to rest.
* And as by the mountain tarn we wound,
* The elves were dancing a fairy round;
* They stopped, and they seemed, though startled thus,
* With looks of pity to gaze at us.
* And when we came to thy lone earth bed,
* The moon came down from the heaven o'erhead.
* She spoke of the lost one. A sob, a stound!
* And the bells in the far-away distance sound.
* Blackwood's Magazine.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 138/Issue 1777/The Weed's Answer

* THE WEED'S ANSWER.
* Then answered bold as beggar-brat
* That plant of mean descent, —
* "Whoever speaks to me like that
* Is very imperent.
* "At me no hothouse swell shall rail,
* In such outlandish lingo,
* Without an answer on the nail,
* In plainer terms, by jingo.
* "It might be rollicksome or queer,
* The blast that blew me hither,
* But now I am fast-rooted here,
* I'm not a-goin' to wither.
* "My health, thank God, is very sound;
* I crave no shade or prop;
* In open air, from common ground,
* I gets my bite and sup.
* "My cloes diskiver stains and rents,
* While yours are fine as fire;
* I don't go in for paints and scents
* From stable or from byre.
* "But not a breeze can make me shrink,
* No sun's for me too hot;
* I'm blest if I would take my drink
* Out o' a waterin'-pot.
* "You Dahly swelled, you Fuschy sick,
* You fiery-faced Carnation,
* No doubt, you count yourselves the pick
* And pride o' all creation.
* "But though at shows there's such ado
* About your tints and statur',
* I've just as great a share as you
* O' all that's fair in natur'.
* "'Tis not alone for you the sky
* At peep o' day is brightenin';
* There's more nor you has got an eye
* For moonshine and sheet-lightnin'.
* "Robins and wrens I here remark,
* Twitterin' about and clingin',
* But by my birth-place lived a lark,
* And over it flew singin'!
* "No fear have I o' worm that gnaws,
* Or frost and storms that splinter,
* While most o' you poor windle-straws
* Will never see a winter.
* "Afore the snow ye'll all be dead,
* In spite o' praise and carin',
* And 'ugly weeds' will live and spread,
* When 'Flory's pets' die barren."
* Still longer thus, with gibings keen,
* In language free of fetters,
* The Ragweed had indulged her spleen,
* And ballyragged her betters;
* But suddenly she ceased to prate,
* And shook with rueful fidgets,
* Clutched tightly by the hand of fate,
* Alias, the gardener's digits!
* For that old man, whose skill excelled,
* Though sometimes he got tipsy,
* Grew red, cried "Dammee!" and expelled
* The vegetable gipsy.

# Levi v. Thompson/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
45 U.S. 17
Levi v. Thompson
The only question raised by the plea tings in this cause, and it seems to us the only one argued at its hearings in the District and Supreme Courts of Iowa, was, whether the lot, for which Levi and Thompson had a pre emption certificate, which had been entered and paid for by them, was or was not liable to be sold upon execution issued upon a judgment rendered against them previous to a patent having been issued for the land by the government of the United States. Their right to a pre emption purchase of the lot was acquired under the act of the 2d of July, 1836, ch. 262, entitled 'An Act for laying off the Towns of Fort Madison and Burlington, in the County of Des Moines, and the Towns of Bellevue, Dubuque, and Peru, in the County of Dubuque, Territory of Wisconsin, and for other Purposes,' and under the act of the 3d of March, 1837, ch. 36, amendatory of the preceding act just recited. The right of Levi and Thompson to a pre emption, under those acts; is not a controverted point in the case. Taking it for granted, then, that it had been lawfully acquired, that they entered the land in the proper office, and that it was paid for in their names, this gave them the right to the register's certificate of purchase, to be transmitted to the commissioner of the general land-office, as in other cases of the sale of public lands. The fee continues in the United States until the issue of the patent, but the right to the fee was in the purchasers, and they were entitled to a patent for the land, unless there was some legal objection by the United States against issuing it, of which this court is not advised.
This right to the fee and a patent in this case gave to Levi and Thompson that 'equitable right' to the land, under the certificate from the receiver of the land-office, which the law of Iowa has made subject to execution for the satisfaction of judgments. Stat. Law Ter. of Iowa, 197, January 25th, 1839.
We further remark, that the principle upon which the case of Carroll v. Safford, 3 How. 441, was decided, covers this case. Nor do we find any thing in the case of Bagnell v. Broderick, or of Wilcox v. Jackson, cited by the counsel for the plaintiff in error, or in any other case decided by this court, which conflicts with the decision it here gives.
We direct the decree of the court below to be affirmed.

# Levee Lou

Levee Lou where are you? Honey, don't you tell me I'm forgotten I'm out here waiting near Hiding right behind the bales of cotton
Moon is bright loving night Down the stream the banjos come a-ringin' Don't you tease come out please Can't you hear me on my knees a-singin'?
Levee Lou when the southern moon is dreaming I sit and dream of you On the Mississippi shore while candle lights are gleaming, sighing, too! Like a stemboat when it's steaming, Oh how I want you, want you want you my Levee Lou.
Where's your ma where's your pa? I got such a creepy kind of feeling If they see you with me They'll be chasing me for chicken stealing.
There's one hope we'll elope Cuddle up, my honey, don't you shiver We can float in my boat While the moon is shining on the river.
Levee Lou when the southern moon is dreaming I sit and dream of you On the Mississippi shore while candle lights are gleaming, sighing, too! Like a stemboat when it's steaming, Oh how I want you, want you want you my Levee Lou.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 139/Issue 1794/With a Present

* WITH A PRESENT.
* The index to a book is small
* Compared with what the book contains;
* The head, though but a little ball,
* Incloses ardent, thoughtful brains.
* And drops of rain are little things
* That point to oceans in the sky;
* And bridegrooms deal in little rings
* As symbols of the strongest tie.
* And little blades of grass, though small,
* All point to life within the earth —
* That life, that in this great round ball
* Gives spring its sweetest, freshest birth.
* A woman's eye is but a bead
* Set clear and fair 'neath snowy brow,
* And yet it shews the fairest creed
* Before which men on earth may bow.
* And words are little weakling notes
* That vanish like a passing sigh,
* And yet they tell our sweetest thoughts,
* And have told thoughts that will not die.
* So this I send is but a mark
* Of grateful thoughts and warm esteem —
* Is but a little wav'ring spark
* Dropped down from friendship's glowing beam!
* Chambers' Journal.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 139/Issue 1795/Commissioned

* COMMISSIONED.
* "Do their errands; enter into the sacrifice with them; be a link yourself in the divine chain, and feel the joy and life of it."
* What can I do for thee, beloved,
* Whose feet so little while ago
* Trod the same wayside dust with mine,
* And now up paths I do not know
* Speed, without sound or sign?
* What can I do? The perfect life
* All fresh and fair and beautiful
* Has opened its wide arms to thee;
* Thy cup is over-brimmed and full;
* Nothing remains for me.
* I used to do so many things:
* Love thee and chide thee and caress;
* Brush little straws from off thy way,
* Tempering with my poor tenderness
* The heat of thy short day.
* Not much, but very sweet to give;
* And it is grief of griefs to bear
* That all these ministries are o'er,
* And thou, so happy, love, elsewhere,
* Dost need me never more.
* And I can do for thee but this:
* (Working on blindly, knowing not
* If I may give thee pleasure so;)
* Out of my own dull, shadowed lot
* I can arise, and go
* To sadder lives and darker homes,
* A messenger, dear heart, from thee
* Who wast on earth a comforter;
* And say to those who welcome me,
* I am sent forth by her:
* Feeling the while how good it is
* To do thy errands thus, and think
* It may be, in the blue, far space,
* Thou watchest from the heaven's brink,
* A smile upon thy face.
* And when the day's work ends with day,
* And star-eyed evening, stealing in,
* Waves her cool hand to flying noon,
* And restless, surging thoughts begin,
* Like sad bells out of tune,
* I'll pray, "Dear Lord, to whose great love
* Nor bound nor limit-line is set,
* Give to my darling, I implore,
* Some new, sweet joy, not tasted yet,
* For I can give no more."
* And, with the words my thoughts shall climb
* With following feet the heavenly stair
* Up which thy steps so lately sped,
* And seeing thee so happy there,
* Come back half comforted.
* Susan Coolidge. Sunday Afternoon for November.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 139/Issue 1795/We Well to Mourn?

* WE WELL TO MOURN?
* Yes, grieve! it can be no offence to Him
* Who made us sensitive our loss to know;
* The hand that takes the cup filled to the brim
* May well with trembling make it overflow.
* Who sends us sorrow means it should be felt;
* Who gave us tears would surely have them shed;
* And metal that the "furnace" doth not melt,
* May yet be hardened all the more instead.
* Where love abounded will the grief abound?
* To check our grief is but to chide our love;
* With withered leaves the more bestrewed the ground,
* The fuller that the rose hath bloomed above!
* Yes, grieve! 'tis nature's —- that is, God's — behest,
* If what is nature called is will divine:
* Who fain would grieve not cannot know how blest
* It is to sorrow, and yet not repine.
* Spectator.S. H.
