The New Monthly Magazine, Volume 13, Page 496
THE STRANGER IN LOUISIANA.*
We saw thee, O stranger, and wept!
—We look'd for the Youth of the sunny glance,
Whose step was the fleetest in chase or dance!
The light of his eye was a joy to see,
The path of his arrows a storm to flee;
But there came a voice from a distant shore—
—He was call'd—he is found 'midst his tribe no more!
He is not in his place when the night-fires burn,
But we look for him still—he will yet return!
—His brother sat with a drooping brow
In the gloom of the shadowing cypress bough,
We roused him—we bade him no longer pine,
For we heard a step—but the step was thine!
We saw thee, O stranger, and wept!
We look'd for the Maid of the mournful song;
Mournful, though sweet—she hath left us long.
We told her the youth of her love was gone,
And she went forth to seek him—she pass'd alone!
We hear not her voice when the woods are still,
From the bower where it sang, like a silvery rill,
The joy of her sire with her smile is fled,
The winter is white on his lonely head,
He hath none by his side when the waste we track,
He hath none when we rest—yet she comes not back!
We look'd for her eye on the feast to shine,
For her breezy step—but the step was thine!
 We saw thee, O stranger, and wept!
We look'd for the Chief who hath left the spear,
And the bow of his battles forgotten here;
We look'd for the Hunter, whose bride's lament
On the wind of the forest at eve is sent;
We look'd for the First-born, whose mother's cry
Sounds wild and shrill through the midnight sky!
—Where are they?—Thou 'rt seeking some distant coast,—
Oh, ask of them, stranger!—send back the lost!
Tell them we mourn by the dark blue streams;
Tell them, our lives but of them are dreams!
Tell, how we sat in the gloom to pine,
And to watch for a step—but the step was thine!F. H.

The New Monthly Magazine, Volume 13, Page 293
THE SULIOTE MOTHER.
Various writers on Modern Greece have related the fate of those Suliote women, who threw themselves, with their infants, from the precipices of their mountainous territory, on the conquest and approach of Ali Pacha. One of those narrators adds, that a wild song was chanted by the mothers, before committing the act of desperation.
She stood upon the loftiest peak,
 Amidst the dark blue sky,
A bitter smile was on her cheek,
 And a dark flash in her eye.
"Dost thou see them, boy?—through the dusky pines,
Dost thou see where the foeman's armour shines?
Hast thou caught the gleam of the conqueror's crest?
My babe! that I cradled on my breast!
Wouldst thou spring from thy mother's arms with joy?
—That sight hath cost thee a father, boy!"
For in the rocky strait beneath
 Lay Suliote sire and son;
They had heap'd high the piles of death,
 Before the pass was won.
"They have cross'd the torrent, and on they come!
Woe for the mountain-hearth and home!
There, where the hunter laid by his spear,
There, where the lyre hath been sweet to hear,
There, where I sang thee, fair babe! to sleep,
Nought but the blood-stain our trace shall keep!"
And now the horn's loud blast was heard,
 And now the cymbal's clang,
Till ev'n the upper air was stirr'd,
 As cliffs and hollows rang.
"Hark! they bring music, my joyous child!
What saith the trumpet to Suli's wild?
Doth it light thine eye with so quick a fire,
As if at a glimpse of thine armed sire?
—Still!—be thou still!—there are brave men low—
Thou wouldst not smile couldst thou see him now!"
But nearer came the clash of steel,
 And louder swell'd the horn,
And farther yet the tambour's peal
 Through the dark pass was borne.
"Hear'st thou the sounds of their savage mirth? —Boy, thou wert free when I gave thee birth!
Free, and how cherish'd! my warrior's son!
He, too, hath bless'd thee, as I have done.
Ay, and unchain'd must his loved ones be,—
—Freedom, young Suliote, for me and thee!"
And from the arrowy peak she sprung,
 And fast the fair child bore;
A veil upon the wind was flung,
 A cry—and all was o'er!

The New Monthly Magazine, Volume 13, Page 106
THEKLA’S SONG, OR THE VOICE OF A SPIRIT.
From the German of Schiller.
This song is said to have been composed by Schiller in answer to the inquiries of his friends respecting the fate of Thekla, whose beautiful character is withdrawn from the tragedy of "Wallenstein's Death," after her resolution to visit the grave of her lover is made known.
Ask'st thou my home?—my pathway wouldst thou know,
When from thine eye my floating shadow past?
Was not my work fulfill'd and closed below? Had I not lived and loved?—my lot was cast.
Wilt thou ask where the nightingale is gone,
That, melting into song her soul away,
Gave the spring-breeze what witch'd thee in its tone?
—But while she loved, she lived in that sad lay.
Thinks't thou my heart its lost one hath not found?
Yes! we are one, oh! trust me, we have met,—
Where nought again may part what Love hath bound,
Where falls no tear, and whispers no regret.
There shalt thou find us, there with us be blest,
If as our love thy love is pure and true!
There dwells my father*, sinless and at rest,
Where the fierce murderer may no more pursue.
And well he feels, no error of the dust
Drew to the stars of heaven his upward ken,
There it is with us, ev'n as is our trust,
He that believes, is near the Holy then.
There shall each feeling, beautiful and high,
Keep the sweet promise of its earthly day—
Oh! fear thou not to dream with waking eye,
There lies deep meaning oft in childish play.

The New Monthly Magazine, Volume 14, Pages 77-78
A VOYAGER'S DREAM OF LAND.
——————His very heart athirst
To gaze at nature in her green array,
Upon the ship's tall side he stands, possess'd
With visions prompted by intense desire:
Fair fields appear below, such as he left
Far distant, such as he would die to find—
—He seeks them headlong, and is seen no more.
Cowper.
The hollow dash of waves!—the ceaseless roar! —Silence, ye billows! vex my soul no more.
—There's a spring in the woods by my sunny home
Afar from the dark sea's tossing foam:
Oh! the gush of that fountain is sweet to hear,
As a song from the shore to the sailor's ear!
And the sparkle which up to the sun it throws,
Through the feathery fern, and the wild olive boughs,
And the gleam on its path, as its steals away,
Into deeper shades, from the sultry day,
And the large water-lilies that o'er its bed
Their pearly leaves to the soft light spread,
They haunt me!—I dream of that bright spring's flow,
I thirst for its rills like a wounded roe!
Be still, thou sea-bird, with thy changing cry!
My spirit sickens as thy wing sweeps by.
Know ye my home, with the lulling sound
Of leaves from the lime and the chesnut round?
Know ye it, brethren! where bower'd it lies,
Under the purple of southern skies?
With the streamy gold of the sun that shines
In through the cloud of its wreathing vines,
And the breath of the fainting myrtle-flowers,
Borne from the mountains in dewy hours,
And the fire-fly's glance through the darkening shades,
Like shooting stars in the forest-glades,
And the scent of the citron at Eve's dim fall—
—Speak! have ye known, have ye felt them all?
The heavy-rolling surge! the rocking mast!
Hush! give my dream's deep music way, thou blast!
Oh! the glad sounds of the joyous earth!
The notes of the singing cicala's mirth,
The murmurs that live in the mountain-pines,
The sighing of reeds as the day declines,
The wings flitting home through the crimson glow
That steeps the woods when the sun is low,
The voice of the night-bird that sends a thrill
To the heart of the leaves when the winds are still!
—I hear them!—around me they rise, they swell,
They claim back my spirit with hope to dwell!
They come with a breath of the fresh spring-time,
And waken my youth in its hour of prime!
The white foam dashes high!—away, away,
Shroud my green land no more, thou blinding spray!
—'Tis there!—down the mountains I see the sweep
Of the chesnut forests, the rich and deep!
With the burden and glory of flowers they wear,
Floating upborne on the blue summer-air,
And the light pouring through them in tender gleams,
And the flashing forth of a thousand streams!
—Hold me not, brethren! I go, I go
To the hills of my youth, where the myrtles blow,
To the depths of the woods where the shadows rest
Massy and still, on the greensward's breast,
To the rocks that resound with the water's play—
—I hear the sweet laugh of my Fount!—give way!
Give way!—the booming surge, the tempest's roar,
The sea-bird's wail, shall vex my soul no more!

Signed by President William H. Taft Tuesday, December 20, 1910
1910 CSR 111
The Secretary of Commerce and Labor has reported to me that in carrying out the plan of reorganization of the Lighthouse Service, it became necessary to place on furlough without pay a number of employees whose records were entirely satisfactory. The Secretary reports, further, that announcement was made that the furloughed employees would be considered for transfer to other branches of the service of the Department of Commerce and Labor whenever vacancies occurred.
Request having been made upon the Civil Service Commission for authority to make the transfer of one of the employees included in the list referred to, the Civil Service Commission has decided that under the rules and under the present condition of the apportionment transfer certificates ought not to issue for such of the furloughed employees as are residents of the States of Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland. I differ with the Civil Service Commission and believe that the circumstances stated by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor justify the transfer and that nothing in the civil-service law prevents it. Therefore, it is hereby ordered that civil-service Rule X, paragraph 8, clause (c) shall be waived by the Civil Service Commission so as to permit the transfer to the apportioned service of such of the furloughed lighthouse employees as may be requested by the heads of the executive departments. It is reported to me by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor that probably not more than two or three persons who are legal residents of the States of Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland will be affected by this order.
