SCHLUTER, shloo'tĕr, Andreas, German sculptor and architect: b. Hamburg, 20 May 1664; d. Saint Petersburg, 1714. His father was a sculptor and brought him in early life to Dantzic. He left that place for Warschau, where he opened a studio as a sculptor and eventually (1694) settled in Berlin. The Baroco style of architecture, then popular in Holland, attracted his fancy and in this style he began (1696) to make designs for rebuilding the royal residences. Before carrying them out he took a journey through Italy, where he built the central front of the castle at Charlottenburg, and subsequently began the restoration of the royal castle at Berlin and became actively engaged in designing buildings of this class in other parts of the country. He eventually removed to Saint Petersburg and became court architect to Frederick the Great. Among the
statues he erected in Berlin are the statue of the grand elector (cast by Jacobi in 1700). Besides the bronze statue of the Grand Elector Frederick III at Königsberg, the tomb of Fredeerick I and his wife in Berlin and the marble screen in the church of Saint Mary, he produced numerous designs for the gorgeous interior decoration of the Goldsmiths' Hall, Berlin, and other buildings.

​Swainson, Hon. William, was born in Lancaster, and was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple. In 1841 he was nominated by Lord John Russell Attorney-General of New Zealand, previously to the introduction of responsible government; and sailed for that colony in company with Chief Justice Martin. During the voyage out the two devoted themselves to preparing an "outline of a legal system adapted to the condition of an infant colony," and within six months of Mr. Swainson's arrival he passed many measures for the better governance of the country, including ordinances to establish a supreme court and county courts, for the constitution of juries, for regulating the practice of petty sessions, for establishing municipalities, for promoting religion, for regulating postage, for registration of deeds concerning real property, for facilitating the transfer of real property, to render certain marriages ​valid, for regulating the sale of liquors, for licensing auctioneers, for regulating harbours, and various other enactments. Mr. Swainson occupied his difficult position from August 1841 till 1856, and was also a member of the Executive Council. In 1854 the first General Assembly was convened in New Zealand, and Mr. Swainson became Speaker of the Legislative Council, holding meanwhile the office of Attorney-General. But the new Parliament demanded responsible government for itself, and in May 1856 Mr. Swainson and his colleagues resigned, and the Ministerial offices were henceforth controlled by the General Assembly. Mr. Swainson continued, however, to be a member of the Legislative Council, as also of the Executive Council. During his life in New Zealand, he took a great interest in the establishment of the Anglican Church there, and was associated with Bishop Selwyn in his efforts to found a constitution for it. In 1855 he went to England on leave, and devoted much time to the delivery of lectures on the advantages of New Zealand as a field for colonisation. He was a member of the Grey Ministry without portfolio from April to July 1879. He died in 1884, having been Chancellor of the diocese of Auckland from 1866. Mr. Swainson was the author of "Auckland, the Capital of New Zealand"; "New Zealand and its Colonisation" (1857); and "New Zealand and the War" (1862).

​Swan, Nathaniel Walter, a well-known Victorian writer, was born in 1843 at Monaghan, Ireland, and was educated at Glasgow University. At an early age he emigrated to Australia, attracted by the fascinations of gold-digging life. He tried mining in various parts of Victoria, and then speculated in fruit and fish in Melbourne, ultimately going to Sandhurst, where he worked a "claim" with small success. Disheartened, he decided to return to Melbourne, and on his way thither on foot fell in with Henry Kingsley, with whom he spent the last few days prior to the final departure of the latter for England. Swan now took to journalism, and edited the Ararat and Pleasant Creek Advertiser, ultimately conducting the Pleasant Creek News at Stawell. In the meantime he wrote a number of stories, several of which appeared in serial form in the Sydney Mail, the Melbourne Australasian, and other leading journals. One of his best-known tales is "Luke Myver's Harvest," which won the £100 prize offered by the Sydney Mail against seventy competitors, one of whom (the second on the list) was "Ada Cambridge." In 1875 "Tales of Australian Life" appeared in London, and in 1885 were published "A Couple of Cups Ago" and other stories (Cameron, Lang & Co., Melbourne). He died on July 31st, 1884.

# The Eighth Sin/To Nancy

Nancy, you need never be Terrified by palmistry— I'm sure no reasons for alarm Are writ upon your dainty paint!
You say that in those mystic lines The palmist read unpleasant signs And omens? O, you silly Nancy To believe in chiromancy!
And why should some fallacious gipsy Hold your graceful finger-tips? He Is a fake (I know the seer) He's only erbing for a beer.
You know the Roman adage that Palmam qui meruit, ferat! If holding hands is to be done, Let me be the lucky one!
# The Eighth Sin/To Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens

Dear Peter, on your tree of bronze Where children feed the ducks and swans, Dear Peter, play a tune—don't wait Till big policemen shut the gate And leave you lonely—blow, O blow The music that the children know.
Dear Peter, you need have no fear Lest grown-up folks should overhear— Too grave and busy for such glee They will not heed your minstrelsy. Your pipe is at your lips—please blow For we are waiting here below.
The birds and fairies in the park Can hear you piping after dark, But we must hear you now, you see, Before Nurse takes us home to tea. I think she's coming . . . Do just blow One tiny tune before we go!
# The Eighth Sin/To R. L. S.

Dear R. L. S., whose books each night We used to read by candle-light, These many years your body lies Under the blue Samoan skies, But still your words ring warm and bright.
In these poor rhymes, however slight, I fain would tell you, if I might, Your words brought gladness to her eyes, Dear R. L. S.
The magic you knew how to write Evoked her laughter of delight: With gratitude which rhyme denies Full utterance—do not despise— To You, to Her, I this indite, Dear R. L. S.

And you will say (O, I can guess Just how) Dear Mr. Cleverness, From all your studies, think, to spare Three nights in town!
The theatre? I like that less Than fireside talk, I must confess, For there are questions . . . you will wear A scarlet ribbon in your hair? O think, from Oxford's grim duress Three nights in town!
# The Eighth Sin/To Jessie Willcox Smith

He would have said, with radiant face, "Dear Lady, in some fairy place Some garden where (without a nurse) They played their shadowy games in verse, You must have met my bairns alone And smiled, and took them for your own.
"They were more ragged then, perhaps, They did not know the joy of laps, A very lonely life they led They never had been tucked in bed. In spite of all their merry laughter They badly needed looking after!
"These children of my wistful dreams The magic of your brush now seems To bring to life—I recognise The golden heads, the dark brown eyes, The dainty frocks, the slin bare legs And all that love-of-children begs.
"The bairns art yours as much as mine And so to you I now resign A half of all that fund of glee That they have always brought to me. But on one thing they will insist— They never sleep till they've been kissed! P.S.—I note with grateful joy You've made the oldest one a boy!"
Such words as these, but with more grace, He would have said.
# The Eighth Sin/To Venus in the Ashmolean

Dear Goddess, in your quiet eyes I long have seen the dumb reproof, But surely charity denies That you should longer hold aloof. Dear Goddess, freely I confess— Great pardon, of your graciousness.
Touching the perfect waist of Venus. My friend (a very subtle Scot) Said Thirty-three. I'm sure it's not Was my retort. As I'm alive I'll guarantee it's thirty-five. Base men had let the matter rest— But we—we put it to the test.
We took a measured length of twine And came within the sacred shrine. The Goddess stood, unrobed and stately— Her purity abashed us greatly—
But while the captious Scot looked out For keepers strolling round about I tiptoed up. With horrid qualms Encircled her with profane arms And (inly shuddering) then I placed Unhallowed fingers on her waist, And her whom I had long adored I girdled with the impious cord. O had there been an ancient Greek To see the faint flush on her cheek He would have slain me on the spot.
Then said my friend (irreverent Scot) What do you make it? Thirty-three? But Venus' eyes were fixed on me And in my innate chivalry I could not tell the brutal truth, (Her girth was thirty-five in sooth) Your guess was wrong, and so was mine Quoth I. Her waist is twenty-nine.
And as we hurried down the aisle Her eyes pursued me with a smile. How glad we were no-one had seen us Measuring the waist of Venus.
Dear Goddess, freely I confess And pray your charity divine, Surely it makes my guilt the less Because I called it twenty-nine? So at my sin you will connive . . . You know yourself its thirty-five!
# The Eighth Sin/Twilight

Someone has lit the lamp, and hung The house with curtains of cool blue, Someone (I cannot tell you who) Has put bright candles all among Our empty rooms. Since we are young For keeping house, and only two, Someone has lit the lamp, and hung The house with curtains of cool blue. Our lamp, the moon so deftly swung Aloft; the stars our candles new; Our housekeeper? I have no clue I only know what I have sung— Someone has lit the lamp, and hung The house with curtains of cool blue.
# The Eighth Sin/White Magic

World, if her soul is sad to-day Sain it with blue and green and grey.
Sain it with blue: if she would cry Show her the stainless vault of sky, The rich blue drapery of the seas A bending robe across God's knees.
Sain it with green: if tears o'erwhelm Rock her soul in the windy elm, Stanch it with the cool green leaves, Show her our English grass if she grieves.
Sain it with grey: a cure for pain Is to weave her a cobweb-scarf of rain, And a soft grey cloak of shadows dim— Then let her smile, and think of him.
World, if her soul is sad to-day Sain it with blue and green and grey.
# The Elene of Cynewulf/Chapter 2

2. The War with the Barbarians.
And battle was brought on him, the tumult of strife. The people of the Huns and famous Goths20 gathered a host together; and the Franks and Hugas marched forth, men fierce in fight and ripe for war. The spears and woven mail-coats glittered, as with shouts and clash of shields they lifted up on high the standard of battle. Openly25 the fighters gathered all together, and the throng marched forth. The wolf in the wood howled his ​war-song, and hid not his secret hopes of carnage; and at the rear of the foe the dewy-feathered eagle30 shrieked his note on high.
A mighty host hastened to war through the cities, gleaned from all the men the Hunnish king could summon from the near-lying towns. A vast army sallied forth—bands of picked horsemen strengthened35 the force of the foot-soldiers—until within a foreign land upon the bank of the Danube these stout-souled brandishers of the spear pitched their camp near the water’s flow, amid the tumult of the army. They longed to overrun the realm of the40 Romans, and lay it waste with their hordes.
Then were the dwellers in the cities aware of the Huns’ coming. And the emperor straightway bade summon with the greatest speed by dispatch of the arrow his heroes to war against the foes; bade lead out to battle the warriors beneath the heavens.45 Their hearts inspired by victory, the Roman heroes were soon girt with weapons for the fight, though they had a lesser host for battle than circled about the proud king of the Huns. Then the shields50 rang, the wood of war clashed; the king with the host, his army, marched forth to strife, and over their heads the raven wailed, dark, and thirsting for the slaughter. The army was moving—trumpeters leaped, heralds shouted commands, and horses stamped the earth. Hastily the multitude enranked55 itself for strife.
But the king was fear-smitten, awed with terror, as he looked upon the hostile host, the army of the Huns and Goths, that upon the river's bank at the boundary of the Roman realm was massing its60 strength, an uncounted multitude. The king of the ​Romans suffered bitter grief of soul, and hoped not for his kingdom because of his small host; he had too few warriors, trusty thanes, to encounter the overmight of brave men in battle.65
