LESBIA NEWMAN.
A desperate charge of the French cavalry cleared the ground, bearing down the tall flagstaff as an avalanche would a reed, and with a horrid smash sacrificing many horses, as well as the limbs of their riders, against the squat round lighthouse, Roche's Tower.—[Page 218.]

# Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society/Volume 23/Pantang Larang of Negri Sembilan
### PANTANG LARANG OF NEGRI SEMBILAN.

The Yam Tuan Besar of Negri Sembilan has recently caused to be published certain rules for the conduct of the Malays of that State. These rules–Pantang Larang—are not new, but are some of the old rules of the State. They are now published to show the masses that the Malay customs are in full force as hitherto. The following is a translation:—
It is forbidden—
​1. To fire guns or cannons during the three days previous to either of the great feasts called Hari Raia or Hari Raia Haji, i.e, on the 28th, 29th or 30th of Jal Haija.
2. To disobey a lawful order of the Raja or Penghulu.
3. For any one to wear clothes of the colours which are set apart as the special colour attached to the Rajaship, or to any State office, such as yellow, which is the Raja's colour: or to carry the hair-ornamented spear, or to wear entirely black clothing, which may only be the dress of officers such as the Laksamana.
4. For any person to make use of and display weapons or articles similar to the insignia of a Chief or State officer, as such insignia.
5. To recite the form of prayer called Hothbah, except at the Istana, Penghulu's or Lembaga's Court-house, Mosque, or at any other place specially set apart by the Raja or Penghulu.
6. For any person to wear weapons having gold or silver ornaments covering either the end of the handle or of the sheath, except by permission or rank.
7. To arrange his house or premises similarly to a royal hall, called Balei jariga, which is fenced round with split runyong (the Kabong tree) according to the ancient custom in the country of Menangkabau, with gates roofed (i.e., with an arch over them), with the exception of persons who are permitted by the Raja or Penghulu.
8. The big drum of the Mosque is not to be beaten, except on feast days or on the occasion of any public calamity, or at a calling together of the people.
Dahga Dahgi. This means that the people of low rakn must never disobey the orders of those of higher rank than themselves.
Sumbang Salah. This means that the children of two women who are sisters cannot marry cach other. It is against the law of the country.
​Chelaka Derahka means that whosoever disobeys these orders shall be considered guilty of treason.
Whoever disobeys the aforesaid rules is liable to a fine not exceeding twenty-five dollars.

# Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society/Volume 25/A Malay Lullaby

A MALAY LULLABY.
The following may be of interest as representing the "Baby Baby Bunting" style of rhyme of the Malay.
This one is sung when putting children to sleep, and is generally used in Naning and also in the Negri Sembilan.
It is hence called "Lagu Buai." The tune is pretty though monotonous and suits the words well from what might be termed an onomatopoeic view, as it is evident that the words of the lines have no actual meaning, and I cannot discover any special origin for them.
    "Chapah menggulai chapah lah sayang."
    "Chapah menggulai chapah lah sayang."
    "Chapah didalam kélong."
    "Chapah didalam kélong."
    "Má mana bapa di mana lah sayang."
    "Má mana bapa di mana lah sayang."

* DEATH OF BISHOP HEBER.
* Artist: H. Melville - Engraved by: J. Sands
THE DEATH OF HEBER.
"So unexpected was the event by those who had a few minutes before seen the Bishop walk, in perfect health, to the bath, that the bearing of his body to the house scarcely disturbed those of the retinue who were loitering around."
He left a calm and pleasant home,  A home of peace and rest, Beneath whose green and quiet eaves  The swallow built her nest.
For an uncertain troubled path,  And for a foreign shore, He left the lovely English home  He was to see no more.
The wild winds filled the swelling sails  The bore him o’er the main; Did he look back to that dear land  He never saw again?
He might look back with tender care,  And thoughts of other years, But higher hopes aside had cast  All weak and human fears.
The good man in the appointed time  Reached the appointed land— Joy was beside his onward path,  And blessings in his hand.
He died—and strangers hurried round  To raise his drooping head; The sorrow of a multitude  Was round that dying bed.
Glorious the lesson that arose  From sorrow and from scaith; Death! thou hast now no victory—  This is the Christian’s faith!

THE FAIR MAID OF PERTH.
"When I behold," said the Monk, "this rich and varied land, (the Vale of Perth, from the hill of Kinnoul,) with its castles, churches, convents, stately palaces, and fertile fields, these extensive woods, and that noble river, I know not whether most to admire—the bounty of God, or the ingratitude of man. He hath given us the beauty and fertility of the earth, and we have made the scene of his bounty a charnel-house and a battle-field. He hath given us power over the elements, and to erect houses for comfort and defence, and we have converted them into dens for robbers."-Scott.
A fair, pale beauty—with a shadowy lustre
 Flung over neck and forehead by her hair,
Gathered behind into a golden cluster,
 As if the morning sunshine rested there.
Pensive she was, as if the spirit pondered
 On things that rarely make the thoughts of youth;
Upon an angel’s wings those white thoughts wandered,
 Asking of purer air, diviner truth.
Down to the earth her large blue eyes are bending,
 Turned on the inward world which gives their light,
Like the first star upon the eve attending,
 Too spiritual for day—too fair for night.
Pale is her cheek, and serious is her seeming,
 Unkindled by a blush, or by a smile—
So might a seraph look while mournful dreaming
 Over a world it does not share the while.
Oh! there are moments when the full heart, turning
 From this life, insufficient, vexed, and drear,
Looks to the skies with an impatient yearning,
 And asks the morning for another sphere.
She is full young for this—when hopes lie scattered
 Like bridal flowers, above young Pleasure’s tomb;
Then may the chain that binds to earth be shattered—
 But she knows not this weariness—this gloom.
But not the less the worldly chain is riven—
 The world’s joys, griefs, and cares behind her thrown.
Such are the spirits that aspire to heaven,
 And such the hearts that heaven stamps as its own.

SIR THOMAS TYLDESLEY.
The dew on the forest is steaming and white, As cold as the moonbeam it mirrored all night. Pale and ghostlike the stars fade away in the sky, While a faint gleam tells that the sun is on high.
The moon in the west with a faint and veiled crest, Her beauty departed, is sinking to rest; The sun in the east is still cumbered with night, No rays are around him, no colours are bright.
And dark, like an omen, the long shadow falls Of my castle, that threatens, with war on its walls; The guns on the ramparts—the flag on the keep, Drooping downwards—their watch, but a sullen watch, keep.
There!—silence those trumpets—they suit not the hour— My lady is weeping alone in her bower. I ride not to battle as on I should ride, With a foe to my face, and a friend at my side.
But the war-cry that rises to answer my own Will be in the tongue I from childhood have known; The hand will be English that meets my right hand, And the soil where we fight is our own native land.
I shun not the combat, but grieve at the cause, That ever our freedom, our faith, and our laws, Our heritage old, that for ages has stood, Should need the dark sanction and cement of blood.
Farewell! my fair castle—farewell! my fair dame— Farewell! the fair boy—now the last of his name. My banner I spread—to my saddle I spring— I fight for my country—I fight for my king.
Sir Thomas Tyldesley was a distinguished cavalier, whose deeds were more suited to the pages of a romance than to those of history, and who, by his affection and steadiness to an unfortunate master, his dauntless courage and chivalrous bearing, has cast a halo round a cause, which of itself, perhaps, has little to recommend it. He was born at Tyldesley, in Lancashire, was bred in the German wars, raised a troop at his own expense to assist Charles I, served with honour at the battles of Edge-Hill, Burton-upon-Trent, Bolton, Lancaster, &c. and fell in the action of Wigan Lane, 25th of August, 1651. A monumental pillar was erected on the spot where he received his death-wound, and he was interred beneath a marble tomb in the Church of Leigh.

* SIX DETACHED PILLARS OF THE GREAT TEMPLE AT BALBEC.

RUINS AT BALBEC.
The crowned monarch sat on his throne, He looked on the plain, it was bare and lone; Saving the palm-tree waving on high, Nothing was there but the sand and the sky. He called his slaves—and thousands stir, For he was a king and a conqueror; And he bade them dig deep in the earth Where the white and veined marbles have birth. And he said, I will build me a city whose fame Shall keep to the end of all time my name.
Ships brought ivory—ships brought gold, And the carved woods were fair to behold. They built the temple, they built the tower, And they hung with purple a royal bower. There was corn and wine in the market-place, And the streets were filled with the human race. When the king died—even conquerors must— Mighty the tomb they raised o’er his dust. His throne was filled by his eldest son,— He went on as his father had done.
Years have grown into centuries grey, The king and his people, where are they? Where are the temples of carved stone? Look in the dust—to dust they are gone. Five or six pillars alone remain Of the thousands that crowded that marble plain. The palm-tree that stood by that building of yore Standeth as green as it did before. But the dust is heaped o’er the works of men— And so it hath been, and will be again.
Balbec, or Baalbec, the ancient Heliopolis (City of the Sun) in Cœlosyria, is seated at the foot of Anti-libanus, forty miles from Damascus. It is a small town, surrounded by ruinous walls; contains about five thousand inhabitants, Christian and Jews; and is under the government of an Aga, who assumes the title of Emir. Here are the finest ruins in the East. Amongst the most remarkable are the remains of the Temple of the Sun, built either by Antoninus Pius, or Septimus Severus, upon whose medals it is represented. Of fifty-four columns there are but six standing; their shafts are sixty feet high, twenty-two in circumference, and, including the pedestal and capital, have a total height of seventy-two feet. The dimensions of the stones with which the Temple walls were built, are such that no modern architectural machinery could place them in their present positions. Under Constantine, this building was converted into a Christian church, and so continued until the Arab irruption, after which it was neglected. The remains of the palace of Antoninus Pius also possess distinguished beauty; and every where around, bas-reliefs and marble statues of Jupiter, Diana, Leda, Roman emperors, &c. all of exquisite finish, may be seen. There are few, but they are conspicuous landmarks, in the records of this ancient city. Its original rulers were expelled by Obeidah, a general of Caliph Omar. In 1401, Tamerlane became its sovereign: and, in 1759, modern Balbec was almost entirely overthrown by an earthquake.

* RETIREMENT.
* Artist: E. Corbould - Engraved by: H. Robinson
ODE TO RETIREMENT.
"Nor those alone prefer a life recluse, Who seek retirement for his proper use; To them the deep recess of dusky groves, Or forest where the deer securely roves, The fall of waters and the song of birds, And hills that echo to the distant herds, Are luxuries excelling all the glare The world can boast, and her chief fav’rites share."
Pale maiden, that dost sit with downcast eye,  Musing on many things, although thy path  Hath now no more the toil another hath. This world and this world’s things thou hast put by, A holier and a calmer lot to try.  Beloved art thou of many in their speech,  The goal which is the general hope to reach; Yet gained, thy sister Weariness stands nigh.  Mistress of mournful thoughts and quiet hours, Given to Memory more than Hope’s domain—  Visions and fancies haunt thy dreaming bowers, Where life may linger, but may not remain.  Only a shelter art thou on our road,  But never meant for mortal man’s abode.

* PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD
* Bidding adieu to his friends.
* Artist: F. W. Topham - Engraved by: G. Presbury
PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD.
Dark the wave, and dark the cloud,
 Yet thy bark is on the sea;
Say "farewell" to other friends,
 Do not say "farewell" to me.
Others may desert thy cause,
 Others may desert thy side—
I cling to thee till the hour
 Death shall me and thee divide.
Fatal is thy doomed house,
 Last of an ill-fated line;
But through exile and through blood
 I will follow thee and thine.
Never more thy step will be
 On thy own, thy English shore;
Let another take thy land,
 It will know thy place no more.
Vainly through a life of care
 Have I struggled for thine own!
Must thy people know thee not?—
 Must a stranger fill thy throne?
Let the old ancestral names
 Which were bound to thee and thine,
Kneel before the rising sun—
 Worship at a newer shrine.
Spurning our dishonoured land,
 In yon bark I cross the wave:
Never will I leave thy side
 Till I leave thee for the grave!
Charles Edward Stuart, called "the Pretender," grandson of James II. of England, son of James Edward and Clementine, daughter of Prince Sobiesky, was born at Rome, in 1720. In his attempts to recover the throne of his grandfather, he was supported by the courts of Rome and Versailles, but the battle of Culloden terminated his military career. A reward of £30,000 being offered for his head, he concealed himself in the fastnesses of Scotland until the arrival of a French frigate in Lochnanach, in which he embarked for France, and bade a last adieu to Britain. In the 52nd year of his age he espoused a Princess of Stolberg-Godern, but died, in 1788, aged 68 years. His remains were entombed, at Frescati, with regal pomp.
# Latter Day Saints' Messenger and Advocate/Volume 2/Number 11/Moroni's Lamentation

MORONI'S LAMENTATION.
I have no home, where shall I go,
While I am left to weep below?
My heard is pain'd, my friends are gone-
And here I'm left on earth to mourn.
I see my people lying round,
All lifeless here upon the ground:
Young men and maidens in their gore;
Which does increase my sorrow more!
My father look'd upon this scene,
And in his writings has made plain,
How ev'ry Nephite's heart did fear,
When he beheld his foe draw near.
With axe and bow they fell upon
Our men and women, sparing none,
And left them prostrate on the ground,
Lo here they now are bleeding round!
Ten thousand that were led by me
Lie round this hill called Cumorah;
Their spirits from their bodies fled,
And they are number'd with the dead!
Well might my father in despair,
Cry, O ye fair ones! once how fair
How is it that you've fallen! Oh!
My soul is fill'd with pain for you.
My life is sought! where shall I flee?
Lord take me home to dwell with thee,
Where all my sorrow will be o'er,
And I shall sigh and weep no more.
Thus sang the son of Mormon when
He gaz'd upon his Nephite men.
And women too, which had been slain,
And left to moulder on the plain!
