# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Colored Citizen Soldiers of the Revolution

From the New York Evening Post. Colored Citizen Soldiers of the Revolution.
It appears that not only did negroes ‘do the State some service’ at the battle of Bunker Hill, but that they were held in much better esteem in the continental army than some, at least, of their white brethren in arms from the Southern States.
The following striking language is found in a letter written in Massachusetts, by General John Thomas, to John Adams, under date of 24th October, 1775:
‘I am sorry to hear that any prejudices should take place in any Southern colony with respect to the troops raised in this. I am certain the insinuations you mention are injurious, if we consider with what precipitation we were obliged to collect an army. In the regiments at Roxbury, the privates are equal to any I served with the last war. Very few old men, and, in the ranks, very few boys. Our fifers are many of them boys. We have some negroes, but I look on them, in general, as equally serviceable with other men for fatigue; and, in action, many of them have proved themselves brave.
I would avoid all reflection, or anything that may tend to give umbrage; but there is in this army, from the Southward, a number called rifle-men, who are as indifferent men as I ever served with. These privates are mutinous, and often deserting to the enemy; unwilling for duty of any kind, exceedingly vicious, and I think the army here would be as well without as with them. But, to do justice to their officers, they are, some of them, likely men.’
The said letter is in the hands of the descendants of Gen. Thomas.
The injustice of the Dred Scott decision could no doubt be further shown by similar testimony of revlutionary times. The men, the citizens, who fought to achieve our freedom, are now regarded by a majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States as things, chattels, and possessing no political right to become citizens

"The Master of Stair is a story of Scotland at the close of the seventeenth century, dealing in the main with a plot to overthrow William of Orange, but more specifically with the hereditary feud between the clans of Campbell and Glencoe, and the treachery by which the latter clan was finally exterminated.

# The Medusa of the Skies

1912.
Like a worm-fretted visage from the tomb, The moon unswathes her hollow, shrunken head, Launching such light as foulders on the dead From pallid skies more death-like than the gloom. Under her beams the breasted lands assume Dead hues, and charnel shapes unceremented; And shadows that towering sepulchers might shed Move livid as the shadows on dials of doom.
On hills like tumuli, and waters mute, A whiteness steals as of a world made still When reptant Death at last rears absolute— An earth now frozen by malefice of eyes Aeonian dooms and realm-deep rigors fill— The gaze of that Medusa of the skies.

# The Meeting of Sighs

First published in The Clarion, July 1909
Your voice was the rugged Old voice that I knew; I gave the best grip of My greeting to you. I knew not of your lips— You knew not of mine; Of travel and travail We gave not a sigh.
We drank and we chorused, With quiqs in our eyes; But under our song was The meeting of sighs. I knew not of your lips— You knew not of mine; But lean years and lone years Had watered the wine.
This work is in the public domain in Australia because it was created in Australia and the term of copyright has expired. According to Australian Copyright Council - Duration of Copyright, the following works are public domain:
* published non-government works whose author died before January 1, 1955,
* anonymous or pseudonymous works and photographs published before January 1, 1955, and
* government works published more than 50 years ago (before January 1, 1974).
This work is also in the public domain in the United States because it was first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days), and it was first published before 1989 without complying with U.S. copyright formalities (renewal and/or copyright notice) and it was in the public domain in Australia on the URAA date (January 1, 1996). This is the combined effect of Australia having joined the Berne Convention in 1928, and of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996.
Because the Australian copyright term in 1996 was 50 years, the critical date for copyright in the United States under the URAA is January 1, 1946.

# The New Europe/Volume 3/Number 31/A Gem from Cologne

A Gem from Cologne
Last autumn, when the food-prospect in Germany looked anything but bright, the Kölnische Volkszeitung spoke thus:—
“Germans will still be persons of weight, of consideration, though a continuance of the war-rationing may reduce their physical proportions by many degrees. The big and fat, as a rule, are not to be found among the most distinguished of mankind. Hindenburg is perhaps a shining exception to that rule. Let us be thankful, then, that the very privations which the scurrilous English foe has forced on us must, by reducing the superabundant weight of the average German, and giving his mental and psychic nature more moving space, render even more formidable those endowments by the exercise of which he will in the future, as he has done in the past, defeat, overthrow, and confound the foe.”

# The New Europe/Volume 3/Number 31/An American View of Austria

An American View of Austria
The Berne correspondent of the Journal de Genève recently interviewed a distinguished American on his way from Vienna to the United States and supplied his paper with a column from which we take the following paragraph describing the state of affairs in Austria:—“While the food problem is causing the Government serious anxiety, there is no immediate danger in this connection, for supplies will last to the beginning of winter. Discontent with the Government is on the decrease. The Emperor is very popular and has the ear of the masses. The war with Italy is more popular than ever, both with the masses and the Army. Austria-Hungary is ready for une paix blanche, provided that the Karageorgevitch dynasty is replaced by another in Serbia. A solution on these lines is confidently hoped for in Vienna. The recent British successes in France have not had a depressing effect, rather the reverse, as making Austria-Hungary more independent of Germany. Hindenburg is avoiding offending the Austro-Hungarian staff as much as possible. Complete confidence is felt in Bulgaria, but Turkey’s attitude is the cause of anxiety. Russia is no longer regarded as a serious adversary.”

# The New Europe/Volume 3/Number 31/Lenin's Return to Russia

Lenin’s Return to Russia
The Berner Tagwacht of 23 April publishes an article by Mr. Bezrabotnia, editor of a Russian revolutionary paper in Paris which the French Government has suspended, revealing something of the arrangements by which Lenin and his friends succeeded in passing through Germany on their way to Russia:—“Already in the first days after the proclamation of the political amnesty in Russia the Russian refugees in Switzerland, Britain, and France had to contend not only against the Consular agents of the old régime, but also with the secret opposition of the French and British Governments, which designated them “Russian pacifists.” Every difficulty is being put in the way of the Kientalers (i.e., Zimmerwaldians) while Plekhanov, the agent of the Russian bourgeoisie, is allowed to return to Russia as a Minister, accompanied by the mandatories of the British and French bourgeoisies. Full of indignation at these circumstances, the Swiss Social Democrats approached the German authorities with a view to securing their passage through Germany in exchange for German civilian prisoners in Russia. These steps were successful, all the more so as the Russian Government, at the invitation of the Council of Workmen’s Delegates, released the German prisoners and allowed them to return home. The only condition made by the German Government was that the refugees should travel in sealed coaches with the windows hermetically closed. A statement signed by their associates in Switzerland is published in the Berner Tagwacht of the same date as a counterblast to “tendencious and lying reports and articles” in the Entente Press, in which these Russians are represented as agents of imperialistic Germany. The signatories state that they are perfectly well aware that the German Government is only permitting the transit of these persons because it believes that their ​presence in Russia will strengthen the anti-war tendencies there. As, however, the signatories are convinced that their comrades by going to Russia will further the cause of the proletariat in all countries, and particularly the German and Austrian proletariats, they consider them not merely justified, but under an obligation to accept the opportunity offered them of travelling through Germany.

# The Literati of New York/No. III/Henry Cary

Regarding poet Henry Cary.
Doctor Griswold introduces Mr. Cary to the appendix of "The Poet and Poetry," as Mr. Henry Carey, and gives him credit for an Anacreontic song of much merit entitled, or commencing, "Old Wine to Drink." This was not written by Mr. C. He has composed little verse, if any, but, under the nom de plume of "John Waters," has acquired some note by a series of prose essays in "The New York American" and "The Knickerbocker." These essays have merit, unquestionably, but some person, in an article furnished "The Broadway Journal," before my assumption of its editorship, has gone to the extreme of toadyism in their praise. This critic (possibly Mr. Briggs) thinks that John Waters "is in some sort a Sam Rogers" — "resembles Lamb in fastidiousness of taste" — "has a finer artistic taste than the author of the "Sketch Book' " — that his "sentences are the most perfect in the language — too perfect to be peculiar" — that "it would be a vain task to hunt through them all for a superfluous conjunction," and that "we need them (the works of John Waters !) as models of style in these days of rhodomontades and Macaulayisms!"
The truth seems to be that Mr. Cary is a vivacious, fanciful, entertaining essayist — a fifth or sixth rate one — with a style that, as times go — in view of such stylists as Mr. Briggs, for example — may be termed respectable, and no more. What the critic of the B. J. wishes us to understand by a style that is "too perfect," "the most perfect," etc., it is scarcely worth while to inquire, since it is generally supposed that "perfect" admits of no degrees of comparison; but if Mr. Briggs (or whoever it is) finds it "a vain task to hunt" through all Mr. John Waters' works "for a superfluous conjunction," there are few schoolboys who would not prove more successful hunters than Mr. Briggs.
"It was well filled," says the essayist, on the very page containing these encomiums, "and yet the number of performers," etc. "We paid our visit to the incomparable ruins of the castle, and then proceeded to retrace our steps, and, examining our wheels at every post-house, reached," etc. "After consultation with a mechanic at Heidelberg, and finding that," etc. The last sentence should read, "Finding, after consultation," etc. — the "and" would thus be avoided. Those in the two sentences first quoted are obviously pleonastic. Mr. Cary, in fact, abounds very especially in superfluities — (as here, for example, "He seated himself at a piano that was near the front of the stage") — and, to speak the truth, is continually guilty of all kinds of grammatical improprieties. I repeat that, in this respect, he is decent, and no more.
Mr. Cary is what Doctor Griswold calls a "gentleman of elegant leisure." He is wealthy and much addicted to letters and virtû. For a long time he was President of the Phœnix Bank of New York, and the principal part of his life has been devoted to business. There is nothing remarkable about his personal appearance.
