Sketch Third.
"You must make
Your heart a grave, and in it bury deep
Its young and beautiful feelings."
’Tis hidden from the sun by the tall elms,
The noon has here no power, and the soft grass
Springs fresh and green, even in the summer's heat.
There is deep stillness round, save when the gale
Talks to the willows that hang gracefully
Over the brook, whose broken murmurs are
An answer to the wind which brings then breaks
The bubbles on its surface; here the dove
Coos in the noon day, and at evening tide
The woodlark sings his vesper symphony.—
This lime grove was the cherished haunt of one
Who loved it for its solitude; to him
Silence was holiest language, and the leaves,
The birds, the clouds, were his familiar friends.
His soul was given to poesy, and crowds
And peopled cities were as chains to him,
Where all was cold and strange, where none could feel
As he did; and he loved to shrink away,
The deep woods his companions, and to live
Mid visions and wild songs. Oh, blessedness!
To see the fair creations of the thought
Assume a visible form; sweet Poesy! How witching is thy power upon the heart;
Enchantment that does bind our senses up
In one unutterable influence;
A charmed spell set over every thought,
Till life's whole hope is cast upon the lyre.
Loved with a love intense and passionate,
A strange, a jealous, but devoted love.
It is not happiness, tho' in the wreath
That binds the poet's brow, there's many a hue
Of pleasure and of beauty; yet those flowers,
Like other blooms, are guarded round with thorns,
And subject to the blight and canker-worm.
Planet of bright but wayward destinies,
Thy votaries are thy victims; he who seeks
The laurel must essay a weary path;
Neglect will chill his best affections, or
Cold mockery will greet them. There are given
Rich gifts unto the bard; but, not content
With silent rapture, he must sun his wealth,
Show his hid treasures to the world, and then
The canker will consume them, and the fame
He fondly sought be bitterness of heart.
'Twas thus with the young Minstrel of this grove:
He sought to grasp an iris, beautiful
And of bright colours, but all formed of tears.
His memory lingers in this glen, for here
He caught the inspiration of the gale,
Singing its evening hymn, and worshipped
Like an idolater the morning star
He pass'd in early youth; his heart was as
A delicate flower, too soft to blossom long.
He sleeps where yon pale willow leans, and weeps
The morning dew above his quiet grave. L. E. L.

POETIC SKETCHES.
Sketch Second.
"Oh, Power of love! so fearful, yet so fair!
Life of our life on earth, yet kin to care!"
It lay mid trees, a little quiet nest
Like to the stock dove's, and the honeysuckle
Spread o'er the cottage roof, while the red rose
Grew round the casement, where the thick-leaved vine
Wove a luxuriant curtain, with a wreath,
A bridal wreath of silver jessamine;—
A soft turf lay before the door, o'erhung
With a huge walnut-tree's green canopy,
Encircled round with flowers; and, like a queen
Of the young roses, stood a bright-cheeked Girl,
With smile of Summer and with lips of Spring,
A shape of air, and footsteps of the wind.
She looked all hope and gladness; but her eyes,
Her deep blue eyes, which seemed as they did owe
Their tints to the first vi’let April brings,
Had yet sad meanings in them ; 'twas not grief,
But as a presage of some ill to come.—
She stood upon the turf, while round her flew
Her bright-hued pigeons, feeding from her hand;
And still she threw fresh flowers upon the cage,
Where two white doves were cooing; and then ran
Light as the rose leaves falling, to her Sire,
To greet him, and to give a kind Good morrow.—
A blossom full of promise is Life's Joy,
That never comes to fruit; hope for a time
Suns the young floweret in its gladsome light,
And it looks flourishing—a little while,
‘Tis past, we knew not whither, but 'tis gone—
Some canker has consumed it, or some blight
Has nipt it unawares, some worm has preyed
Upon its life, or else some unkind blast
Has torn it from the stem; and those who loved,
Who fondly cultured it, are left to weep
Over the ruins of their cherished flower.—
I passed by that sweet cottage; it was changed;
The rose trees were all dead, the unpruned vine
Was trailing on the ground, the thick-grown weeds
Gave signs of desolation; one poor dove
Sat by a broken casement, while her wail
Was echo'd mournfully from the lone roof—
Love, Oh fond Love! betraying, beautiful,
How can we trust the hope of life to thee?
Is it not building on the sands? Fair girl,—
It was the darkness of thy destiny!
She loved one all unworthy of her love.
Alas, that still devoted confidence
Should lead but unto ruin! He beguil'd
Her steps from home and happiness; and when
She trusted but to him, his heart no more
Answered the beat of her's—then he could leave
The fond deceiv'd one lone and desolate!
She turned her to her Father, whom she left,
And knelt, and pray'd forgiveness: he might not
Look on her pale cheek, thin and wasted form,
And not weep o'er her kind and pardoning tears.
Her heart was broken—and familiar scenes
Of happier days and childhood brought no charm
To one whose hope was past away—She died.

### Chapter 12: How to Decide Which Lacing Adjustment to Use

1. At this point, you have decided on your client's type, observed
her conditions, if she has any, determined her poise and taken her
actual body measurements. All the information, gained through
these various steps, gives you the necessary facts upon which to base
your decision as to which lacing adjustment your client needs.
Your decision is made on what the condition is and where it is.
 2. It is a general rule that an adjustment by lacing in the front
cares for conditions on the front of the body; lacing in the back
cares for conditions on the back of the body. In some conditions it
may be found necessary to use combined lacing adjustments of vari- ous kinds.
 3. THE FOUR TYPES, being normal, can wear either back or
front-laced corsets. In this case you will select the one which will
conform to and bring out the natural good figure lines. If your
client has a preference for either front or back adjustment, you can
consider her choice. If she is not normal, her condition, what it is
and where it is, will determine the lacing adjustment.
 4. GORILLA POISE requires a corset with lacing adjustment
in the front to correct the condition, or a combined front and back
adjustment may be used.
 5. KANGAROO POISE requires a corset with a combined front
and back, or a combined front and partial back adjustment, or
lacing in the back, to correct the condition.
 6. CUT-IN WAIST requires a corset with lacing in the back, or
combined adjustment may be used.
 7. FLESH DEVELOPED OUT OF PROPORTION OVER
SIDE HIPS AND ABDOMEN usually requires a corset with lacing
in the front if the larger accumulation of flesh is over the abdomen;
or lacing adjustment in the back if the larger accumulation of flesh
is over side hips.
 8. THIGH FLESH requires a corset with lacing adjustment in
the back, or a combined front and back adjustment.
 9. PROMINENT AND PENDULOUS ABDOMEN usually
requires a corset with combined back and partial front lacing ad- justment. In cases which are not extreme either front or back
lacing adjustment may be used.
 10. PROMINENT HIP BONES, SCANT OR HEAVY BUST
AND HEAVY SHOULDER FLESH do not affect your decision as
to lacing adjustment. These conditions will be treated in another
section.
# Instructions in Spirella Corsetry/Chapter 15
### Chapter 15: Steps of Procedure When Order Has Been Secured

1. Have client remove the clothing covering her corset.
 2. Remove client's corset.
 3. Put new lacer in client's corset, if necessary.
 4. Adjust client's corset to secure normal poise and to prepare
the right foundation far measuring.
 5. Decide client's type.
 6. Take body measurements, writing them in the spaces on col- ored slip in "Memorandum Order Book."
 7. Decide on condition to be corrected if client's type varies
from normal.
While client is dressing
8. Decide which lacing adjustment to use in the new corset.
 9. Make deductions for lacing space.
 10. Select the corset from among those designed for the client's
type or condition.
 11. Guide client in selecting material and quote price.
 12. Finally Fill spaces on white slip in "Memorandum Order
Book;" get deposit and client's signature. Leave memorandum
receipt far deposit with client.

# Journals of Several Expeditions Made in Western Australia, During the Years 1829, 1830, 1831, and 1832/Report of Dr. Johnston on the Climate of Swan River

From Journals of Several Expeditions Made in Western Australia, During the Years 1829, 1830, 1831, and 1832
​No. 4.
His Majesty's Sloop, Sulphur,
10th December, 1832.
Sir,
In compliance with your Excellency's request, as to my opinion of the climate of Swan River, I beg leave to state, as a climate with regard to health, I am not aware of any other that can be compared with it.
As a proof of its salubrity, during the three years His Majesty's Sloop, Sulphur, was employed upon that station, not a single death, and very few important cases of disease occurred, notwithstanding the very great exposure of her men, not only to wet, but also night air, in consequence of her boats having been a great deal employed at a distance from the anchorage. When exploring the country, for several days, and sometimes weeks, have these people been exposed to the sun, fatigued in the evening after a day's exertion, slept in the open air, and that repeatedly in wet weather, without suffering in the slightest.
Another point ought also to be taken into consideration: the debilitated state of these constitutions which were undergoing this exposure, in consequence of having been so long a period upon salt provisions, and without vegetable diet; out of three years and ten months the Sulphur was employed upon the Swan River service, her crew were only 256 days upon fresh diet. A life of this description in any other climate, I have no hesitation in asserting, would have been productive of the most serious disease.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient and humble servant,
James Wingate Johnston, M.D.
Surgeon H.M.S. Sulphur.
To His Excellency Governor Stirling, &c. &c. &c.

THE FOLLOWING IS AN EARLY SPECIMEN
OF
AUSTRALIAN POETRY.
Tune—"Ballenamona Ora."
"A good Penny Wedding for me."
From the old western world we have come to explore. The wilds of this Western Australian shores In search of a country we ventured to roam. And now that we've found it, let's make it our home. And what though the Colony's new, Sirs, And inhabitants yet may be few, Sirs, They'll soon be increasing here too, Sirs, So the Western Australia for me.
By care and attention I'm sure 'twill be found, Two crops in the year we may get off the ground; Good wood and good water, good flesh and good fish, Good soil and good clime, and what more could you wish. Let every one earnestly strive, Sir, Do his best, be alert and alive, Sir, We'll soon see our Colony thrive, Sir, So Western Australia for me.
No furious south-easters—no burning simoon— Our harvests to blight, and our fruits to consume: No terrible plague, nor no pestilent air Our "livers" to waste, though our lives they may spar ​Our skies are all cloudless and bright, Sir,
And sweet is our lovely moonlight, Sir,
Oh this is the clime of delight, Sir,
So Western Australia for me.
No lions nor tigers we here dread to meet,
Our innocent quadrupeds hop on two feet;
No rent, tithes, nor taxes, we here have to pay.
And our "geese are all swans," as some witty folks say.
Then we live without trouble or stealth, Sirs,
Our currency's all Sterling wealth, Sirs,
So here's to our Governor's health, Sirs,
And the Western Australia for me.

Literary Gazette, 17th January, 1824, Page 41
ORIGINAL POETRY. FRAGMENTS BY L. E. L. Third Series.
Gleamings of poetry,—if I may give
That name of beauty, passion, and of grace,
To the wild thoughts that in a starlit hour,
In a pale twilight, or a rose-bud morn,
Glance o'er my spirit,—thoughts that are like light,
Or love, or hope, in their effects.
THE FORSAKEN.
Oh cast that shadow from thy brow,
 My dark-eyed love! be glad awhile:
Has Leila's song no music now?
 Is there no charm in Leila's smile?
There are young roses in my hair,
 And morn and spring are on their bloom;
Yet you have breathed their fragrant air
 As some cold vapour from the tomb.
There stands the vase of crystal light,
 Veined with the red wine's crimson stains,—
Has the grape lost its spell to-night?
 For there the cup untouched remains.
I took my lute for one sad song,
 I sang it, tho' my heart was wrung,—
The sweet sad notes we've loved so long;
 Yet heard you not, tho' Leila sung.
I press'd my pale pale cheek to thine,—
 Tho' it was wet with many tears,
No pressure came, to answer mine,
 No murmur breathed, to soothe my fears.
Ah, silent still? then know I all
 My fate! And must we part at last?
In mercy, gentle Heaven, recall
 Only the memory of the past!
Never yet did the first June flower
 Bare purer bosom to the bee,
Than that which yielded to Love's power,
 And gave its sweetest wealth to thee.
'Twas a new life: the earth, the sky,
 Seemed to grow fairer for thy sake;
But this is gone,—oh destiny,
 My heart is withered, bid it break!
My garden will lie desolate,
 My flowers will die, my birds will pine;
All I once loved I now shall hate,
 With thee changed every thing of mine.
Oh speak not now, it mocks my heart,
 How can hope live when love is o'er?
I only feel that we must part,
 I only know—we meet no more!
# Landon in The Literary Gazette 1825/Almond Tree

Literary Gazette, 25th June, 1825, Page 413
ORIGINAL POETRY. THE ALMOND TREE.
Fleeting and falling,
 Where is the bloom
Of yon fair almond tree?
 It is sunk to its tomb.
Its tomb, wheresoever
 The wind may have borne
The leaves and the blossoms,
 Its roughness has torn.
Some there are floating
 On yon fountain's breast,—
Some line the moss
 Of the nightingale's nest,—
Some are just strewn
 O'er the green grass below,
And there they lie stainless,
 As winter's first snow.
Yesterday, on the boughs
 They hung scented and fair;
To-day, they are scattered
 The breeze best knows where.
To-morrow, those leaves
 Will be scentless and dead,
For the kind to lament
 And the careless to tread.
And is it not thus
 With each hope of the heart?
With all its best feelings
 Thus will they depart.
They'll go forth to the world
 On the wings of the air,
Rejoicing and hoping,
 But what will be there.
False lights to deceive,
 False friends to delude,
Till the heart, in its sorrow,
 Left only to brood;---
Over-feeling crushed, chilled,  Sweet hopes ever flown;
Like that tree, when its green leaves
 And blossoms are gone.L. E. L.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
FRAGMENTS BY L. E. L. Fourth Series.
Gleamings of poetry,—if I may give
That name of beauty, passion, and of grace,
To the wild thoughts that in a starlit hour,
In a pale twilight, or a rose-bud morn,
Glance o'er my spirit,—thoughts that are like light,
Or love, or hope, in their effects.
A small clear fountain, with green willow trees Girdling it round, there is one single spot
Where you may sit and rest, its only bank;
Elsewhere the willows grow so thick together:
And it were like a sin to crush that bed
Of pale and delicate narcissus flowers,
Bending so languidly, as still they found
In the pure wave a love and destiny;
But here the moss is soft, and when the wind
Has been felt even through the forest screen,—
For round, like guardians to the willows, stand
Oaks large and old , tall firs , dark beech , and elms
Rich with the yellow wealth that April brings,—
A shower of rose leaves makes it like a bed,
Whereon a nymph might sleep, when, with her arm Shining like show amid her raven hair,
She dreamt of the sweet song wherewith the faun
Had lulled her, and awakening from her rest
When through the leaves an amorous sunbeam stole
And kissed her eyes; the fountain were a bath
For her to lave her ivory feet, and cool
The crimson beauty of her sleep-warm cheek,
And bind her ruffled curls in the blue mirror
Of the transparent waters. But these days
Of visible poetry have long been past!—
No fear that the young hunter may profane
The haunt of some immortal; but there still—
For the heart clings to old idolatry,
If not with true belief, with tenderness,—
Lingers a spirit in the woods and flowers
Which have a Grecian memory,— some tale
Of olden love or grief linked with their bloom,
Seem beautiful beyond all other ones.
The marble pillars are laid in the dust,
The golden shrine and its perfume are gone;
But there are natural temples still for those
Beautiful though dethroned Deities,
Where from green altars flowers send up their incense: This fount is one of them. - - -
