# Pictures in Rhyme/Sisera

SISERA
Where the white pigeons lit, and softly cooed,
Ere fluttering down to their accustomed food
In the broad, marble, many-creviced court.
The brook of Kishon slowly reddening;
The trailing chariot, and the bitter ring
Of intercepted, swift-descending swords.
The panting fugitive. The lying words,
'Turn in; behold this tent, it is my lord's!'
The cloak of camel's hair for safe shrouding. ​The lordly dish of butter, and the nail;
The hammer in the nervous hand of Jael;
The blow which crashed through temple and through brain.
A sheet of summer lightning, and red rain
Across the sleeper's sight. A sense of pain
But scarce begun ere sense and senses fail.
The sand-fed sun, low-lying on the lands;
The tent door curtained where a woman stands,
And the unspoken: 'This is whom you seek.'
The song of praise: 'The battle to the weak.
Praise ye the Lord, who hath upheld the meek.
The Lord who stayeth Israel in His hands.'
# Pictures in Rhyme/The Sale of the World

THE SALE OF THE WORLD
The world, the fair world, with her bosoms of snow, Her life-pulses bounding in turbulent flow, Lies prone in the scale, Exposed and for sale; Save for forests of hair From her temples down-curled, Exposed to a critical, insolent stare. Who will buy? Who will bid? Who will weigh up the world?
Who will buy? Who will bid? Who will weigh up the world? —'Mid the blare of curved trumpets, with banners unfurled, A Genius takes form From the breath of the storm— Tall and gaunt, Scarred of front; ​Blown over a blood-bestained vest,
A tawny beard, sweeping his chest,
Reaches down to the clasp of his girth.
At his footsteps the earth
Shrinks back in affright;
Cloud -vultures of night
Flap their pestilent pinions in flight
Closely after.
A blue gleam, then a clang:
Whence the shaking scales hang,
As shield follows helmet, and helmet the brand,
Backpiece, breastplate, and greaves;
Last, the mighty spear leaves
His knotted right hand—
But the scale only quivers up under the rafter.
As day dissolves night when it steals up the sky,
As night disappears in the distance to die,
See a form in bright garments approach like a ray
Falling down from the sun, and war-clouds melt away:
Broad brow; scanty locks o'er a thin, pallid face;
Eyes lit with deep eagerness, beaming with grace ​From a strong-seated learning. The shoulders' slight stoop, Bowed down by the spirits which burden the croup Of his mule in their casings, stiff wood-ribs and hide. The weight of his intellect, learning, and looks, His scrolls and his parchments, his papers and books, He casts in the scale, then himself climbs inside— But all weigh as nothing, discounted of worth
Against the full nature and grossness of earth.
A smoky glare Of torches, which jaundice the lower air, And blacken the forehead of Heaven, As the children of Mammon toil up to the scale, Seven times seventy-seven. In they pour their glittering store, Stream on stream, Till the scale with the world flashes up to the beam, Bought and sold—
Sold to the sons of the Genius of Gold. Thus the fair Universe, Untouched by the power of the sword, Unmoved by the power of the word,
# Pictures in Rhyme/The Morning Mist

THE MORNING MIST
A mist from the channel stole up the shore,
And crept o'er the sands to a cottage-door—
Through the door, half-opened, it entered in.
A woman, ragged, haggard, and wild,
Bent a tear-stained face on her sleeping child,
Fondling its fingers pallid and thin.
But lo! before her, the morning mist
Stooped softly down with its lips, and kissed
The babe in the cradle sleeping;
Then wrapped the child on its wreathfed arm,
And melted away in the sunlight warm;
Whilst the sun dried the mother's weeping.
# Pictures in Rhyme/One Little Year To-day

ONE LITTLE YEAR TO-DAY
One year since we were married, three thousand miles away; It seems so long, sweetheart, and yet— one little year to-day!
It seems as if I'd known you, loved you, held you all my life; And yet—one little year to-day since first I called you wife!
I think we must have lived and loved in some forgotten past, In other forms, as birds or flowers, our earthy essence cast;
As silver birds, in shady groves, have kissed and cooed and kissed, In times agone, until our souls sank back into the mist. ​Perchance by hand of silence sown, slept the sweet sleep of flowers, Two blossoms borne upon one bush, in some primæval bowers.
You may have come to cradle-land in many sudden gleams, Crept through the curtains of the night, and mingled with my dreams.
As man and woman here to-day, we breathe again in song, Whilst the swart poppé sways our boat in solemn state along,
Beside the sea-washed, lichened walls which guard the Lido land, Whose further, fairer side, unbound, shelves down in ribs of sand.
Skirting Venezia's arsenal, heart of her ancient might, Which beats so slowly, faintly, now, we pass out to the right. ​The haze hangs on Murano—smoke from her factory fires, Where, fashioned out of rainbow hues, on hollow iron wires,
The glass so fair, so fragile, which the skilful workmen make, Spun shapely by a single breath, another breath will break.
The sun behind its prison-bars sinks down into the flood, Dyeing the city's watery ways with its expiring blood.
When we shall cease in human guise to haunt this world of men, Is that the end? or will our souls revive to live again
In some state, higher, purer far than any we have known, With endless life and endless love, when both shall be our own?
# Pictures in Rhyme/Street Arabs

STREET ARABS
Chattering sparrows of London town, Tailless, perky, ragged, and brown, With a halo of smoke around you thrown.
Up on the housetops, over the slates, Hopping about with the quaintest of gaits, Each one abusing, ill-using his mates.
Golden canaries in vain peep through Golden bars. Sage birds in blue, Chained to their perches, envy you.
Gay little gamins along the street, Dodging across under horses' feet, A copper for drink or sore back to beat.
Children clad in velvet and lace Envy you, pressing each eager face To their windows, as scattering the mud you race. ​Wingless sparrows and, like them, brown, Bullied, then bullying—when ye are grown, What is the outcome? Make it known.
Brothers, gather these waifs of the street, Wash off their mudstains, make them meet, With strengthened minds, our minds to greet.

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
84 U.S. 460
Philp v. Nock
The measure of the damages to be recovered against infringers prescribed by the act of 1836 as well as by the act of 1870, is 'the actual damages sustained by the plaintiff.' Where the plaintiff has sought his profit in the form of a royalty paid by his licensees, and there are no peculiar circumstances in the case, the amount to be recovered will be regulated by that standard. If that test cannot be applied, he will be entitled to an amount which will compensate him for the injury to which he has been subjected by the piracy. In arriving at their conclusion, the profit made by the defendant and that lost by the plaintiff are among the elements which the jury may consider. Where the infringement is confined to a part of the thing sold, the recovery must be limited accordingly. It cannot be as if the entire thing were covered by the patent; or, where that is the case, as if the infringement were as large as the monopoly. Counsel fees cannot be included in the verdict. The plaintiff must show his damages by evidence. They must not be left to conjecture by the jury. They must be proved, and not guessed at.
The instruction under consideration was too broad and too vague. The jury could have hardly doubted that it was their duty to allow the counsel fees paid or to be paid by the plaintiff, and perhaps other charges and expenditures equally inadmissible.
JUDGMENT REVERSED, and the cause remanded to the court below, with directions to issue
A VENIRE DE NOVO.

# Notes and Queries/Series 1/Volume 1/Number 1/Liber Sententiarum — Inquisition of Thoulouse

Liber Sententiarum.—Inquisition of Thoulouse.
Mr. Editor,—In or about 1756, an ancient manuscript in folio, on vellum, was deposited in the British Museum by Dr. Secker, then Bishop of Oxford, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, and still, I take for granted, remains in that institution. It was intitled upon the cover, Liber Sententiarum; but contained the Acts and Decision of the Inquisition of Thoulouse, from the year 1307 to 1323. It had been purchased by the contributions of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, of the Bishop of Oxford himself, and of various other prelates, the Lord Chancellor, the Speaker of the House of Commons of hat time, the Viscount Royston, &c.
Can any of your readers inform me whether any or what portions of this manuscript have been hitherto communicated to the world, either in the way of publication or translation, or of abridgment, in whole or in part? An analysis of his manuscript would be interesting to many readers of ecclesiastical history.

# Notes and Queries/Series 1/Volume 1/Number 1/A Bibliographic Project

A Bibliographic Project.
Of the various sections into which the history of English literature is divisible, there is no one in which the absence of collective materials is more seriously felt—no one in which we are more in need of authentic notes, or which is more apt to raise perplexing queries—than that which relates to the authorship of anonymous and pseudonymous works.
The importance of the inquiry is not inferior to the ardour with which it has sometimes been pursued, or the curiosity which it has excited. On all questions of testimony, whether historical or scientific, it is a consideration of the position and character of the writer which chiefly enables us to decide on the credibility of his statements, to account for the bias of his opinions, and to estimate his entire evidence at its just value. The remark also applies, in a qualified sense, to productions of an imaginative nature.
On the number of the works in this class, I can only hazard a conjecture. In French literature, it amounts to about one-third part of the whole mass. In English literature, it cannot be less than one-sixth part—perhaps more. Be as it may the systematic arrangement of all that has been revealed in that way, and of all that is discoverable, is essential to the perfection of literary history, of literary biography, and of bibliography.
At the present moment, I can only announce the project as a stimulus to unemployed aspirants, and as a hint to fortunate collectors, to prepare for an exhibition of their cryptic treasures.—On a future occasion I shall describe the plan of construction which seems most eligible—shall briefly notice the scattered materials which it may be expedient to consult, whether in public depositories, or in private hands—and shall make an appeal to whose assistance may be required, to enable a competent editor to carry out the plan with credit and success.
On the prevalence of anonymous writing, on its occasional convenience, and on its pernicious consequences, I shall make no remarks. Facts, rather than arguments, should be the stable commodity of an instructive miscellany.

Number Six and the Borgia
By Edgar Wallace
Author of “The Daffodil Enigma,” “The Black Grippe,” Etc.
The mental processes of a great criminal are very different from those of the normal man. Equally interesting is the work of a skilled detective. So when a writer of Mr. Wallace’s ability tells of a life-and-death battle of wits between such adversaries, gives us a glimpse of what goes on in the mind of a master wrongdoer, and weaves into it all a love story of unusual charm, the result is a tale that must delight the reader.

# On the Condition of the Coalminers in Saxony

Report issued by The Bee-Hive on February 27, 1869 about a speech given by Karl Marx at the General Council meeting in February 23, 1869.
The German secretary read a report on the condition of the coalminers in the kingdom of Saxony. Their wages vary from 6s. to 10s. 3d. a week, for twelve hours labour a day; boys’ from 4s. to 5s. a week. Each colliery has a benefit club, to which the men are compelled to contribute, but they have no voice in the administration of the funds; the funds are the lawful property of the coal owners, and the benefits are, without exception, dispensed by the head-managers of the collieries. Sick, relief and superannuation allowances rise in proportion to length of service, but any one leaving his employment, no matter for what reason, loses all claims upon the fund. Thus a man may have contributed to the fund for 30 or 40 years without receiving a farthing in his old age.
An agitation among the miners for better terms has led to the publication of a draft of rules for a united club for all the Saxon ,collieries. The draft is the work of a committee of colliers presided over by Mr. J. G. Dinter. The chief distinctive features are —
1. All clubs to be consolidated into one.
2. Members not to lose their rights so long as they reside anywhere in Germany and continue to pay their contributions.
3. A general meeting of all adult members to be the supreme authority to elect a general and an executive committee.
4. Masters’ contributions to be equal to one-half of those of the men.
This draft, which does not represent the views of the most intelligent colliers, but rather of a section, which would fain to carry out reforms with the consent of the masters, carries on its face the stamp of impracticability. It is really too naive to suppose that the masters, who now have complete control of the clubs, will consent to hand the whole management over to a democratic general meeting of working men, and yet continue paying their contributions. To open the eyes of such of the colliers as may still believe in the possibility of reforming the clubs upon the basis of joint contributions of masters and men, the indignant refusal on the part of the masters will be the best means.

OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES.
The Olympic Games, the most illustrious of all in Greece, take their name from Olympia, a city of Elis, the place of their celebration; or from having been instituted by Hercules in honour of Jupiter Olympius, after a victory obtained over Augeas, tyrant of Elis, B. C. 1222. They were held at the full moon on the first month of every fifth year, and lasted five days, as appears from Ol. v., 15. πεμπταμεροις εν ἀμιλλαις.
According to some authors the date of their institution was B.C. 1453. After a long interval of neglect they were reinstituted B.C. 776, in which year Chorœbus obtained the victory; and from this time the era of the Olympiads is usually dated.
The exercises at these games consisted of running, wrestling, leaping, throwing the discus, and boxing with the cæstus; which were altogether called by the name πενταθλον, or quinquertium, and comprehended in the well-known Greek verse:
ἁλμα, ποδωκειην, δισκον, ακοντα, παλην.
The reward of the victor was a crown of the wild olive-tree, called (Ol. iv., 19,) ελαια Πισατις: which, according to the mythological story, had been transplanted at Olympia by Hercules from the hyperborean regions; which fable is related at large in the third Olympic ode. Besides the five contests mentioned above, there were at these games horse and chariot races, and contentions in poetry, eloquence, and the fine arts. They were celebrated with every mark of solemnity: the preparations for the festival were very great: none but persons of unblemished character were allowed to present themselves as combatants; and they were attended by spectators from every part of Greece. Near the goal of the stadium was placed the semicircular seat of the Olympic judges, who were called hellanodici; and behind them was the large tract of land known by the name of Altis; for a description of which see the note on Ol. x., 62.
