# The Book of Scottish Song/The Collier Laddie

The Collier Laddie.
[Tune, "The Collier's bonnie lassie."—"I do not know," says Burns, "a blyther old song than this."—The poet himself furnished Johnson with a copy of the words and the tune for the Museum.]
Whar live ye, my bonnie lass, And tell me what they ca' ye? My name, she says, is Mistress Jean, And I follow the collier laddie.
See ye not yon hills and dales, The sun shines on sae brawlie! They a' are mine, and they shall be thine, Gin ye'll leave your collier laddie.
Ye shall gang in gay attire, Weel buskit up sae gawdy: And ane to wait on every hand, Gin ye'll leave your collier laddie.
Though ye had a' the sun shines on, And the earth conceals sae lowly, I wad turn my back on you and it a', And embrace my collier laddie.
I can win my five-pennies in a day, And spen't at night fu' brawlie: And make my bed in the collier's neuk, And lie down wi' my collier laddie.
Love for love is the bargain for me, Tho' the wee cot-house should haud me, And the warld before me to win my bread, And fair fa' my collier laddie.
# The Catalpa Expedition/Chapter 29

CHAPTER XXIX
SETTLEMENT OF THE VOYAGE
In February, 1877, Mr. Devoy, with James Reynolds, went to New Bedford and made a liberal settlement with the crew. An average was taken of the catch of oil by the vessels which sailed the same season with the Catalpa, several of which had made "big cuts." The settlement with the men was on this basis.
The Catalpa was presented to Captain Anthony, Mr. Richardson, and Henry C. Hathaway, but her value was not great. She was eventually sold and altered into a coal barge, coming to an ignominious end at Belize, British Honduras, where she was condemned.
Captain Anthony's occupation was now gone, since it would be unsafe for him to enter an English port. He was for a while an officer of the New Bedford police force, but was appointed an inspector in the New Bedford custom-house in President Cleveland's first term, a position which he has since held.
Gallant John Breslin died in New York on November 18, 1888, with the name of his country upon his lips. To the last he believed that revolution was the only remedy for Ireland's wrongs. The ​announcement of his death drew tears from Irish eyes the world over, for his burning love of country, his chivalry and unparalleled bravery had touched the hearts of Erin's sons and daughters. Clan-na-Gael societies telegraphed their sorrow, and John Devoy and all the Catalpan leaders hastened to New York to be present at the funeral exercises.
JAMES REYNOLDS Treasurer of the Rescue Committee
"But the rescue of James Stephens, even while the government was gloating over his capture, was as unexpected and thorough as if the man had vanished in smoke. No one suffered from it,—at least from English law,—no one was arrested; neither the government nor the public ever knew how or by whom it was accomplished. The man or men who did the work claimed no recompense either of money or notoriety. Two thousand pounds reward failed to elicit the slightest clew. The thing was cleverly, cleanly, bravely done, and those who knew of it knew how to keep the secret.
"The rescue of the six military prisoners from the penal colony of West Australia was performed in a similar manner as to daring, silence, and complete success. Looking back on it, no one can say that aught was forgotten or left to chance. With admirable deliberation every inch of the train was laid, every sporadic interest was attended to, and the eventful rescue was carried out to the prearranged letter with scientific precision. As in the escape of Stephens, no trail remained; no one left in the trap; no price paid in human life or suffering. It was a clean thing from beginning to end; it was 'well done.'"
The total expense of the expedition was about $30,000, and a fund was raised in addition to give the rescued men a start in the new life which had been vouchsafed to them.
# The Catalpa Expedition/Chapter 6

CHAPTER VI
BANISHMENT TO AUSTRALIA
After being convicted of mutiny in her Majesty's forces in Ireland, the men spent weary months in hideous English prisons. One day the keys rattled in the dungeon doors; they were marched out in double irons, chained together with a bright, strong chain. They were taken aboard the convict ship Hougoumont, where the chains were knocked off and they were ordered below.
There were sixty-three political prisoners on the Hougoumont, and they were the first sent out to Australia since the Irish uprising in 1848. They were likewise the last ever sent to the colony. Of these prisoners fifteen had been soldiers, and they were placed with the criminals in the fore part of the ship at night, although they were permitted to spend the days with the political prisoners.
Of the horrors of a convict ship experience it is unnecessary to say more than to quote O'Reilly, who was one of the unfortunate company on the Hougoumont.
"Only those who have stood within the bars," says he, "and heard the din of devils and the appalling sounds of despair, blended in a diapason ​that made every hatch-mouth a vent of hell, can imagine the horrors of the hold of a convict ship."
Strapped to the foremast was the black gaff with its horrid apparatus for tricing unruly men up for flogging, and above, tied around the foremast, ever before their eyes, was a new hempen halter, "which swung mutineers and murderers out over the hissing sea to eternity."
Every night the exiles, Catholic and Protestant, joined in a prayer which ran as follows:—
"God, who art the arbiter of the destiny of nations and who rulest the world in thy great wisdom, look down, we beseech thee, from thy holy place on the sufferings of our poor country. Scatter her enemies, Lord, and confound their evil projects. Hear us, God, hear the earnest cry of our people, and give them strength and fortitude to dare and suffer in their holy cause. Send her help, Lord, from thy holy place. And from Zion protect her. Amen."
THE JAIL AT FREEMANTLE, WHERE THE PRISONERS WERE CONFINED
Then the convicts heard the appalling code of rules, with the penalty for violation, which was usually death; and then they were assigned to the road parties, and from daylight to dark, in the heat which made the cockatoos in the trees motionless and the parrots silent, they blazed their way through the Australian bush and forest.
The present was made horrid by the companionship of desperate and degraded men, "the poison flower of civilization's corruption," and the future seemed hopeless.
Meanwhile James Wilson sent out an appeal for rescue. He sent it to John Devoy in America.

DECREE
OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT.
That the faithful may approach the Sacraments with greater reverence and devotion, the Holy Synod commands all Bishops not only to explain, in a manner accommodated to the capacity of the receivers, the nature and use of the Sacraments, when they are to be administered by themselves; but also to see that every Pastor piously and prudently do the same, in the vernacular language, should it be necessary and convenient. This exposition is to accord with a form to be prescribed by the Holy Synod for the administration of all the Sacraments, in a Catechism, which bishops will take care to have faithfully translated into the vernacular language, and expounded to the people by all pastors.

# The American Journal of Science/Series 1, Volume 1/Bigelow on Climate

* Art. XV.  Professor Bigelow on the comparative
* Forwardness of the Spring
* in different Parts of the United States, in 1817.
WE have been favoured with an ingenious memoir on this subject, by the author, Professor Bigelow of Boston; it is a part of the fourth volume of the Memoirs of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Professor Bigelow, availing himself of a hint given him some years ago by the late venerable Dr. Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania, ascertained, through the medium of correspondence with accurate observers in different parts of North America, the time of flowering, for “1817, of the common fruit-trees and a few other plants” — “found in most parts of the United States.”
The peach-tree was the one most uniformly returned, and the following table exhibits the time of its flowering, in places sufficiently numerous and remote, to afford a fair specimen of these observations :
| Places. | Lat. | Lat. | Lat. | Lat. | Long. | Long. | Long. | Long. | Peach-tree in blossom. | Peach-tree in blossom. | Peach-tree in blossom. | Peach-tree in blossom. |
| Fort Claiborne, Alab. Ter. | 31 | ° | 50 | ′ | 87 | ° | 50 | ′ | March | 4 |
| Charleston, S. C. | 32 | | 44 | | 80 | | 39 | | . . . | 6 | | 12 |
| Richmond, Va. | 37 | | 40 | | 77 | | 50 | | . . . | 23 | Ap. | 6 |
| Lexington, Ky. | 38 | | 6 | | 85 | | 8 | | April | 6 | | 15 |
| Baltimore, Md | 39 | | 21 | | 77 | | 48 | | . . . | 9 |
| Philadelphia, P. | 39 | | 66 | | 75 | | 8 | | . . . | 15 |
| New-York, N. Y. | 40 | | 42 | | 74 | | 9 | | . . . | 21 | | 26 |
| Boston, Mass. | 42 | | 23 | | 70 | | 62 | | May | 9 |
| Albany, N. Y. | 43 | | 39 | | 73 | | 30 | | . . . | 12 |
| Brunswick, Me. | 43 | | 63 | | 69 | | 55 | | . . . | 15 | |
| Montreal, Can. | 45 | | 35 | | 73 | | 11 | | . . . | 12 |
Professor Bigelow infers, “that the difference of season between the northern and southern extremities of the country is not less than two months and a half.”   “Difference of longitude does not seem very materially to affect the Floral Calendar within the United States.”  It appears, that in the same year peach-trees were in blossom at Valencia, in Spain, about the 19th of March; the apple-tree near London, May 8th; the cherry-tree and pear-tree at Geneva, in Switzerland, April 3d.
We hope that this research will be prosecuted in the manner it has thus been happily begun.   It evidently affords an excellent criterion of the actual temperature, on a scale more extensive than it is practicable to obtain from thermometrical registers.
Floral Calendars kept in various parts of the United States would afford very interesting information, as to the changes of climate in particular places; a common topic of popular remark, but generally with few and inaccurate data.
* ↑ No return of this-tree was made from Brunswick.  The date of the cherry tree is therefore substituted, which is usually in blossom at the same time.

# The Children of the Night (1921)/Calvary

CALVARY
Friendless and faint, with martyred steps and slow, Faint for the flesh, but for the spirit free, Stung by the mob that came to see the show, The Master toiled along to Calvary; We gibed him, as he went, with houndish glee, Till his dimmed eyes for us did overflow; We cursed his vengeless hands thrice wretchedly,— And this was nineteen hundred years ago.
But after nineteen hundred years the shame Still clings, and we have not made good the loss That outraged faith has entered in his name. Ah, when shall come love's courage to be strong! Tell me, O Lord—tell me, O Lord, how long Are we to keep Christ writhing on the cross!
# The Children of the Night (1921)/George Crabbe

GEORGE CRABBE
Give him the darkest inch your shelf allows, Hide him in lonely garrets, if you will,— But his hard, human pulse is throbbing still With the sure strength that fearless truth endows. In spite of all fine science disavows, Of his plain excellence and stubborn skill There yet remains what fashion cannot kill, Though years have thinned the laurel from his brows.
Whether or not we read him, we can feel From time to time the vigor of his name Against us like a finger for the shame And emptiness of what our souls reveal In books that are as altars where we kneel To consecrate the flicker, not the flame.
# The Children of the Night (1921)/Credo

CREDO
I cannot find my way: there is no star In all the shrouded heavens anywhere; And there is not a whisper in the air Of any living voice but one so far That I can hear it only as a bar Of lost, imperial music, played when fair And angel fingers wove, and unaware, Dead leaves to garlands where no roses are.
No, there is not a glimmer, nor a call, For one that welcomes, welcomes when he fears. The black and awful chaos of the night; For through it all,—above, beyond it all,— I know the far-sent message of the years, I feel the coming glory of the Light!
# The Children of the Night (1921)/Dear Friends

DEAR FRIENDS
Dear friends, reproach me not for what I do, Nor counsel me, nor pity me; nor say That I am wearing half my life away For bubble-work that only fools pursue. And if my bubbles be too small for you, Blow bigger then your own: the games we play To fill the frittered minutes of a day, Good glasses are to read the spirit through.
And whoso reads may get him some shrewd skill; And some unprofitable scorn resign, To praise the very thing that he deplores; So, friends (dear friends), remember, if you will, The shame I win for singing is all mine, The gold I miss for dreaming is all yours.
