# A Field Book of the Stars/Ophiuchus and Serpens

The Constellations of Summer. Kepler's star, 1604
Layout 2
OPHIUCHUS (of-i-u'-kus)—THE SERPENT BEARER, AND SERPENS. (Face Southwest.)
Location.—A line drawn from (ε) Delphinus to (γ) in Aquila, prolonged about 30 degrees, strikes the star Ras Alhague, the brightest star in the constellation and the head of Ophiuchus. It is at one angle of an isosceles triangle, of which Altair is at the apex, and Vega the third angle.
Two constellations are here combined. Ophiuchus is represented as an old man, holding in his hands a writhing serpent. Ras Algethi, the head of Hercules, lies just west of Ras Alhague.
Equally distant southeast and southwest of Ras Alhague, are to be seen two stars close together, representing the shoulders of Ophiuchus. His foot rests on the Scorpion just above Antares.
The head of Serpens is the star group in the form of an "X" just below the Crown.
1604 indicates the spot where in that year a famous temporary star appeared, called Kepler's star.
Note the diamond group of stars below the "X", outlined in dotted line, and the asterism "The Bull of Poniatowskia" just east of (γ).
# A Field Book of the Stars/Orion

The Constellations of Winter.
Layout 2
ORION (ō-rī'-on)—THE GIANT HUNTER. (Face South.)
Location.—Orion is considered the finest constellation in the heavens. A line drawn from Nath to (δ) in Taurus (the tips of the Bull's horns), and extended 15 degrees, strikes the brilliant Betelgeuze in Orion, known as the martial star. It forms the northeast corner of a conspicious parallelogram. The splendid first-magnitude star Rigel is diagonally opposite Betelgeuze, and the girdle and sword of the Hunter lie within the parallelogram, a very striking group. The former is represented by three bright stars in a line known as the "Three Stars," because there are no other stars in the heavens that exactly resemble them in position and brightness.
In the sword there is the most remarkable nebula in the heavens. Its wonders are revealed only in a telescope. Bellatrix is called the Amazon star.
About 9 degrees west of Bellatrix are eight stars in a curved line running north and south. These point out the Lion's skin held in the Hunter's left hand.
Below Meissa there are two stars forming a triangle with it. Flammarion calls this region the California of the sky.
The celestial equator passes nearly through (δ).
Orion was worshipped in China during the one thousand years before our era, and was known to the Chinese as the "White Tiger."
# A Field Book of the Stars/Pegasus

The Constellations of Autumn.
Layout 2
PEGASUS (peg'-a-sus)—THE WINGED HORSE. (Face South.)
Location.—One corner of the Great Square is found by drawing a line from Polaris to Cassiopeia, and prolonging it an equal distance.
The Great Square is a stellar landmark. Three of the corners of the square are marked by stars in Pegasus; the fourth, and northeastern, corner is marked by the star Alpheratz in Andromeda.
The horse is generally seen upside down, with his fore feet projected up into the sky. Only the head, neck, and fore feet are represented. The star Enif is in the nose of Pegasus.
The star (π) is an interesting double, easily seen in binoculars.
The position of the asterism Equus or Eqüleus, the Little Horse, or Horse's Head, is shown in the diagram.
Delphinus, the water jar of Aquarius, and the circlet in the Western Fish, are all in the vicinity of Pegasus, and indicated in the diagram.
The winged horse is found on coins of Corinth 500 to 430 B.C. The Greeks called this constellation ίπποζ.
Pegasus seems to have been regarded in Phœnicia and Egypt as the sky emblem of a ship. Within the area of the Square Argelander counted thirty naked-eye stars.
Note a fine pair in Eqüleus just west of the star Enif in Pegasus.
# A Field Book of the Stars/Meteoric Showers October to January

The Constellations of Autumn.
Layout 2
METEORIC SHOWERS OCTOBER TO JANUARY.
The Andromedes are usually red, sluggish in their movements, and leave only a small train. Brilliant displays were seen in 1872 and 1885.
The Leonids are characterized by their exceedingly swift flight. They are of a greenish or bluish tint and leave behind them a vivid and persistent train.
In most years the display is not especially noteworthy. Once in thirty-three years they afford an exhibition grand beyond description as in 1833 and 1866.
# A Field Book of the Stars/Milky Way

Layout 2
THE MILKY WAY.
THE Milky Way, or Galaxy as it is sometimes called, is a great band of light that stretches across the heavens. Certain portions of it are worthy of being viewed with an opera-glass, which separates this seemingly confused and hazy stream into numberless points of light, emanating from myriads of suns.
This wonderful feature of the heavens is seen to best advantage during the months of July, August, September, and October. Beginning near the head of Cepheus, about thirty degrees from the North Pole, it passes through Cassiopeia, Perseus, Auriga, part of Orion, and the feet of Gemini, where it crosses the Ecliptic, and thence continues into the southern hemisphere, beyond our ken in these latitudes.
It reappears in two branches in the region of Ophiuchus, one running through the tail of Scorpio, the bow of Sagittarius, Aquila, Delphinus, and Cygnus; the other above and almost parallel to it, uniting with the first branch in Cygnus, and passing to Cepheus, the place of beginning.
The student should note especially the strange gap ​between (α), (γ), and (ε) Cygni. This dark space has been called the "Coal Sack."
The Milky Way in the vicinity of Cassiopeia is particularly rich, and well repays a search with an opera-glass.
"The Galaxy covers more than one tenth of the visible heavens, contains nine-tenths of the visible stars, and seems a vast zone-shaped nebula, nearly a great circle of the sphere, the poles being at Coma and Cetus."
# A Field Book of the Stars/Musca

The Constellations of Autumn.
Layout 2
MUSCA (mus'-kä)— THE FLY. (Face Southeast.)
Location.—Musca lies between Triangula and Aries, the diagram clearly defining its position.
The four stars composing it form a group shaped like the letter "Y."
There is nothing of particular interest to be noted in this asterism.
# A Field Book of the Stars/Monoceros

The Constellations of Winter.
Layout 2
MONOCEROS (mo-nos'-e-ros)—THE UNICORN. (Face South.)
Location.—Monoceros is to be found east of Orion between Canis Major and Canis Minor. Three of its stars of the fourth magnitude form a straight line northeast and southwest, about 9 degrees east of Betelgeuze, and about the same distance south of Alhena, in Gemini.
The region around the stars (8), (13), (17) is particularly rich when viewed with binoculars. The clusters (50 M) and (2) are well worth observing.
# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Griesinger, Georg

From volume 1 of the work.
​GRIESINGER, Georg August, deserves a word of grateful mention for his charming little work on Haydn—'Biographische Notizen über Joseph Haydn' (126 pages)—which was originally communicated to the Allg. Musik. Zeitung from July to Sept. 1809, and then published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1810. Griesinger was a 'Legations-Rath' of the Saxon government, and possibly attached to the embassy at Vienna. At any rate he was on intimate terms with Haydn for the last ten years of the life of the latter, and he claims to report directly from his lips, often in his very words. His work was used by Framery for his 'Notice sur Haydn' (Paris, 1810), but Griesinger complains that his statements have often been widely departed from, and in one case an absolute invention introduced.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Gregoir, Jacques

​GREGOIR, Jacques Mathieu Joseph, born at Antwerp Jan. 18, 1817, made his first appearance as a pianist in Dussek's B minor Concerto when only eight years old. After the revolution of 1830 he was sent to Paris to study under Herz, but his health obliged him to return to his native country after a few years. Subsequently he went with his brother to Biberich, where he studied with Rummel until 1837, wnen he returned to Antwerp. His success as a performer was very great, and some compositions other than the numerous works written for his own instrument were favourably received. A 'Lauda Sion,' a cantata, 'Faust,' and an opera in three acts, 'Le Gondolier de Venise' were produced shortly before 1848, in which year he established himself for a time in Brussels. After a years' work as music-teacher in an English school at Bruges, he returned to Brussels. Many succesful concert-tours were undertaken by him in Germany, Switzerland, and elsewhere. He died at Brussels Oct. 29, 1876. His pianoforte works include a concerto, op. 100, several excellent books of studies, besides fantasias and other drawing-room pieces. He collaborated in several duets for piano and violin with Vieuxtemps and Léonard, and in several for piano and violoncello with Joseph Servais.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Grieg, Edvard

From volume 1 of the work.
​GRIEG, EDVARD, composer and pianist, born June 15, 1843, at Bergen in Norway, and now conductor and teacher at Christiania. He came to Leipsic in 1858, and remained at the Conservatorium for four years, having Hauptmann and Richter as masters for harmony and counterpoint, Rietz and Reinecke for composition, and Moscheles for pianoforte playing. During the term of his studies he lived mostly in the romantic worlds of Schumann, Mendelssohn, and Chopin, whose works then gave the tone to the entire musical life of the town, and especially of the Conservatorium. He has since become aware of other older and newer masters, without however showing very distinct traces of their influence in his compositions. The characteristic Scandinavian features of Grieg's musical talent took a tangible shape soon after his return to the north. Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian Volkslieder and dances absorbed his fancy more than the study of any great composer's works; and henceforth his compositions are marked with the stamp of a particular nationality more clearly than that of any man, except perhaps Chopin.

# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/The London Watercress Girl

19. The London Watercress Girl.
Before the winter's day had dawn'd,
When London streets were still,
And through the close-shut window-frame
The morning air came chill,
A barefoot child pass'd down the street,
With cresses on her head;
And as her mother paus'd to kneel,
With wond'ring look she said:
"O mother! will you tell me why.
When we pass by this way,
You fold your hands and bend the knee
As if you stopp'd to pray?
The street is soil,—except ourselves
No creature can I see;
And surely to these empty walls
You would not bend the knee?"
"These are no empty walls, my child,"
That mother made reply;
"The temple of the Lord of hosts
We now are passing by. ​I cannot see him, but I know
That angels kneel and gaze
Around the altar, where for us
In patient love he stays.
Great Lord, what wondrous love was thine
To choose this poor abode!
Ah, dearest child—believe it well,—
This church contains our God."
Then child and mother bow'd again
In that cold silent street,
And went once more upon their way
With shoeless, shiv'ring feet.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/The Story of the Little Web

4. The Story of the Little Web.
There liv'd, as holy legends tell,
A widow ag'd, infirm, and poor,
Who hardly earn'd her daily bread
By weaving at her cottage door.
And scanty is the meed that she
Can for her toilsome work receive,
For year by year, one little web
Is all that she has strength to weave.
The year is past, the little web
Lies stretch'd upon the cottage floor;
And she, with hopeful trust and joy,
Is musing on her promis'd store;
When fiercely to her lone abode
A troop of soldiers bursts its way,
And heedless of her prayers and tears,
Has borne the little web away.
To seek the holy Oswyn's tomb,
With tott'ring step, behold her speed,
And beg the sainted martyr's prayer
May help her in her hour of need.
But vain were all her sighs and tears,
No sign of peace St. Oswyn shews;
All answerless she turns away,
And full of sadness homeward goes.
​The morning dawns, a favouring breeze
Bestirs the calm of Tynemouth Bay,
And fills the vessel's swelling sails,
That bears the little web away.
But ere the sun rose high in heav'n,
There thickens round a gathering storm,
And night-fall sees the winds and waves
Sweep o'er that vessel's shatter'd form.
The north wind drifts upon the shore
The corpses of the shipwreck'd crew:
The aged widow's awe-struck eyes
Her proud oppressor lifeless view.
And in his hand—oh, wondrous sight!—
The little web uninjur'd lay,
The same which he with cruel grasp
But yester-eve had borne away
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/The Visit to the Image of Mary

20. The Visit to the Image of Mary.
Come let us here repose, and gaze
On Mary's face awhile;
We wander to and fro all day,
And now we want her smile.
The godless look of things without,
Oh, how it drives us here,
To prize with grateful hearts the bliss
Of finding Mary near!
The very walls we pass each day
Cry out their impious tale;
And blasphemies are heard that make
The stoutest spirit quail.
Oh, leave we, then, the crowded streets,
Their noise and dust and glare;
We've thought and talk'd and sinn'd since morn,
We need a moment's prayer.
​A player breath'd forth will calm the soul;
Faith lifts the veil, and we,
Children of Mary, see her star
Shine o'er the restless sea.
We gaze with faith's rejoicing eye
On what seemed dark erewhile; Then to the world and home we bear
The brightness of her smile.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/The wounded Side of Jesus

15. The wounded Side of Jesus.
There is an everlasting home
Where contrite souls may hide,
Where death and danger dare not come—
The Saviour's side!
It was a cleft of matchless love
Open'd when he had died,
When mercy hail'd in worlds above—
That wounded side.
Hail! Rock of ages, pierc'd for me,
The grave of all my pride,
Hope, peace, and heav'n are all in thee,
Thy shelt'ring side.
Thence issued forth a double flood,
The sin-atoning tide,
In streams of water and of blood,
From that dear side.
​Hail, only living Fount of bliss,
In joy and sorrow tried,
No refuge for the heart like this,
Thou spear-pierc'd side! Hail, thou the golden gate of heaven!
The entrance for the bride,
From whence the crown of life is giv'n,
Sweet Jesu's side!
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/The Passion Flower

11. The Passion Flower.
Flower, whose mystic beauty tells of One
Who died for me,
Of earth's blooming children there are none
I love like thee.
Picture thou of Christ's most blessed cross
To gentle, faithful eyes,
Pointing brightly from a world of dross
To yonder skies.
​There sweet Jesus reigns, and angels fair
His throne surround;
Blessed saints who bore his cross are there,
With glory crown'd.
Then, my soul, be thou in every hour
To God thy Saviour given,
And be now on earth a Passion-flower,
To bloom in heaven.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/The Song of the Innocents of Bethlehem

18. The Song of the Innocents of Bethlehem.
The little church with flowers is strown,
The lights are gleaming bright,
For Jesus from his altar-throne
His blessing gives to-night.
Methinks before that altar lair
An infant band I see,
And childlike voices fill the air
Which sing these words to me:
"We are the little ones who died
For Bethlehem's Infant slain;
Cut down through cruel Herod's pride,
That he in peace might reign.
But now we sing a cherub band
Before the Christ Child bright;
With palm and lily in each hand,
And robes of glistening white.
Then, little children, fear ye not
To join our joyous strain,
And sing the Lamb without a spot
On Calvary's mountain slain.
For though your home is on the earth,
And ours in heaven above,
Yet are we one by human birth,
And one in Christ's dear love.
​And though our eyes are ever blest
His face unveil'd to see.
He comes to you a hidden guest,
To make you blest as we.
Then, little children, fear ye not
To join our joyous strain;
And sing the Lamb without a spot
On Calvary's mountain slain."
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/There's not a Leaf within the Bower

28. There's not a Leaf within the Bower.
There's not a leaf within the bower,
There's not a bird upon the tree,
There's not a dewdrop on the flower,
But bears an impress, Lord, of thee.
Thy hand the varied leaf design'd,
And gave the bird its thrilling tone,
Thy power the dewdrop's tints combin'd
Till with the diamond's blaze they shone.
Thus dewdrops, leaves, and birds, and all,
The greatest as the smallest things,
The starry skies, the earth's round ball,
Alike proclaim thee King of kings.
But man alone to bounteous heav'n
The strains of grateful love can raise,
To man alone the grace is giv'n
To join the angelic choirs in praise.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/The Little Mariners' Hymn to the Blessed Virgin

2. The Little Mariners' Hymn to the Blessed Virgin.
A little boat with snow-white sail
Is floating on the summer sea;
Oh, lightly moves it with the gale,
And all its crew are children three.
Kind Heaven, grant no harm betide
Their fragile bark when night falls dim;
And hark, the breeze bears far and wide
The little fishers' evening hymn.
"Poor fishermen, too weak are we
To stem the rolling ocean's wave;
And, Mary, we have turn'd to thee,
A mother's gentle help to crave.
Hail, Mary! star of ocean, hail!
Oh, hear the hymn we sing to thee,
The while we trim our shifting sail,
And shape our course across the sea.
Oh, deign our feeble toil to bless,
And keep old Ocean calm the while; ​Oh, grant us, Mary, good success,
And make our home with plenty smile.
Hail, &c.
Sweet Mother, light our outward track,
Poor helpless little fishers three,
And bring our boat in safety back,
Across the wide and pathless sea.
Hail, &c.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/The Voice of the Flowers

17. The Voice of the Flowers.
Dear Lord, who in thy love so great
Didst frame this world of ours,
And its fair robe of green create,
All bright with blooming flowers:
By thy sweet will, o'er hill and dale,
Each plant and leafy tree
Are bearers of a welcome tale,
That speaks to us of thee.
The little snowdrop's hardy birth
Amid the winter's snow,
Thine infant days on this rude earth
In Bethl'hem's cave doth shew.
In the fair lily's spotless white
Thy virgin life we see;
Oh, make it, Lord, our fond delight
Thus to resemble thee.
As day by day the budding rose
Unveils its blushing hue,
So doth thy tender love disclose
A beauty ever new.
And e'en the violet of the dell
Has its own word of thee,
Delighting evermore to tell
Of thy humility.
Thus not a plant that scents the gale,
Or blossom on the tree,
But tells its own instructive tale,
O loving Lord, of thee. ​Nor these alone, but all we see
Around us and above
Extol thy grace and majesty,
And speak thy boundless love.
