'TWAS on an evening fair I went to take the air, I heard a maid making her moan; Said, Saw ye my father? Or saw ye my mother? Or saw ye my brother John? Or saw ye the lad that I love best, And his name it is Sweet William? 'I saw not your father, I saw not your mother, Nor saw I your brother John; But I saw the lad that ye love best, And his name it is Sweet William.' 'O was my love riding? or was he running? Or was he walking alone? Or says he that he will be here this night? O dear, but he tarries long!' 'Your love was not riding, nor yet was he running, But fast was he walking alone; He says that he will be here this night to thee, And forbids you to think long.' Then Willie he has gane to his love's door, And gently tirled the pin: 'O sleep ye, wake ye, my bonny Meggie, Ye'll rise, lat your true love in.' The lassie being swack ran to the door fu snack, And gently she lifted the pin, Then into her arms sae large and sae lang She embraced her bonny love in. 'O will ye gang to the cards or the dice, Or to a table o wine? Or will ye gang to a well-made bed, Well coverd wi blankets fine?' 'O I winna gang to the cards nor the dice, Nor yet to a table o wine; But I'll rather gang to a well-made bed, Well coverd wi blankets fine.' 'My braw little cock, sits on the house tap, Ye'll craw not till it be day, And your kame shall be o the gude red gowd, And your wings o the siller grey.' The cock being fause untrue he was, And he crew an hour ower seen; They thought it was the gude day-light, But it was but the light o the meen. 'Ohon, alas!' says bonny Meggie then, 'This night we hae sleeped ower lang!' 'O what is the matter?' then Willie replied, 'The faster then I must gang.' Then Sweet Willie raise, and put on his claise, And drew till him stockings and sheen, And took by his side his berry-brown sword, And ower yon lang hill he's gane. As he gaed ower yon high, high hill, And down yon dowie den, Great and grievous was the ghost he saw, Would fear ten thousand men. As he gaed in by Mary kirk, And in by Mary stile, Wan and weary was the ghost Upon sweet Willie did smile. 'Aft hae ye travelld this road, Willie, Aft hae ye travelld in sin; Ye neer said sae muckle for your saul As My Maker bring me hame! 'Aft hae ye travelld this road, Willie, Your bonny love to see; But ye'll never travel this road again Till ye leave a token wi me.' Then she has taen him Sweet Willie, Riven him frae gair to gair, And on ilka seat o Mary's kirk O Willie she hang a share; Even abeen his love Meggie's dice, Hang's head and yellow hair. His father made moan, his mother made moan, But Meggie made muckle mair; His father made moan, his mother made moan, But Meggie reave her yellow hair.

THOMAS STUART was a lord, A lord of mickle land; He used to wear a coat of gold, But now his grave is green. Now he has wooed the young countess, The Countess of Balquhin, An given her for a morning-gift Strathboggie and Aboyne. But women's wit is aye willful, Alas that ever it was sae! She longed to see the morning-gift That her gude lord to her gae. When steeds were saddled an weel bridled, An ready for to ride, There came a pain on that gude lord, His back, likewise his side. He said, Ride on, my lady fair, May goodness be your guide! For I'm sae sick and weary that No farther can I ride. Now ben did come his father dear, Wearing a golden band; Says, Is there nae leech in Edinburgh Can cure my son from wrang? 'O leech is come, an leech is gane, Yet, father, I'm aye waur; There's not a leech in Edinbro Can death from me debar. 'But be a friend to my wife, father, Restore to her her own; Restore to her my morning-gift, Strathboggie and Aboyne. 'It had been gude for my wife, father, To me she'd born a son; He would have got my land an rents, Where they lie out an in. 'It had been gude for my wife, father, To me she'd born an heir; He would have got my lands an rents, Where they lie fine and fair.' The steeds they strave into their stables, The boys could'nt get them bound; The hounds lay howling on the leech, Cause their master was behind. 'I dreamed a dream since late yestreen, I wish it may be good, That our chamber was full of swine, An our bed full of blood.' I saw a woman come from the West, Full sore wringing her hands, And aye she cried, Ohon, alas! My good lord's broken bands. As she came by my good lord's bower, Saw mony black steeds an brown: 'I'm feared it be mony unco lords Havin my love from town!' As she came by my gude lord's bower, Saw mony black steeds an grey: 'I'm feared it's mony unco lords Havin my love to the clay!'

MY heart is lighter than the poll; My folly made me glad, As on my rambles I went out, Near by a garden-side. I walked on, and father on, Love did my heart engage; There I spied a well-faird maid, Lay sleeping near a hedge. Then I kissd her with my lips And stroked her with my hand: 'Win up, win up, ye well-faird maid, This day ye sleep oer lang. 'This dreary sight that I hae seen Unto my heart gives pain; At the south side o your father's garden, I see a knight lies slain.' 'O what like was his hawk, his hawk? Or what like was his hound? And what like was the trusty brand This new-slain knight had on?' 'His hawk and hound were from him gone, His steed tied to a tree; A bloody brand beneath his head, And on the ground lies he.' 'O what like was his hose, his hose? And what like was his shoon? And what like was the gay clothing This new-slain knight had on?' 'His coat was of the red scarlet, His waistcoat of the same; His hose were of the bonny black, And shoon laced with cordin. 'Bonny was his yellow hair, For it was new combd down;' Then, sighing sair, said the lady fair, 'I combd it late yestreen. 'O wha will shoe my fu fair foot? Or wha will glove my hand? Or wha will father my dear bairn, Since my love's dead and gane?' 'O I will shoe your fu fair foot, And I will glove your hand; And I'll be father to your bairn, Since your love's dead and gane.' 'I winna father my bairn,' she said, 'Upon an unkent man; I'll father it on the King of Heaven, Since my love's dead and gane.' The knight he knackd his white fingers, The lady tore her hair; He's drawn the mask from off his face, Says, Lady, mourn nae mair. 'For ye are mine, and I am thine, I see your love is true; And if I live and brook my life Ye'se never hae cause to rue.'

BURD HELEN was her mother's dear, Her father's heir to be; He was the laird of Broughty walls, And the provost o Dundee. Burd Helen she was much admired By all that were round about; Unto Hazelan she was betrothed, Her virgin days were out. Glenhazlen was a comely youth, And virtuous were his friends; He left the schools o bonny Dundee And on to Aberdeen. It fell upon a Christmas Day Burd Helen was left alone For to keep her father's towers; They stand two miles from town. Glenhazlen's on to Broughty Walls, Was thinking to win in; But the wind it blew, and the rain dang on And wat him to the skin. He was very well entertaind, Baith for his bed and board, Till a band o men surrounded them, Well armd wi spear and sword. They hurried her along wi them, Lockd up her maids behind; They threw the keys out-ower the walls, That none the plot might find. They hurried her along wi them, Ower mony a rock and glen, But, all that they could say or do. From weepimg would not refrain. 'The Hiland hill are hie, hie hills, The Hiland hills are hie; They are no like the banks o Tay, Or bonny town o Dundee.' It fell out ance upon a day They went to take the air; She threw hersell upon the stream, Against wind and despair. It was sae deep he coudna wide, Boats werna to be found, But he leapt in after himsell, And sunk down like a stone. Se kilted up her green claiding A little below her knee, And never rest nor was undrest Till she reachd again Dundee. 'I learned this at Broughty Walls, At Broughty near Dundee, That if water were my prison strong I would swim for libertie.'
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Salsafy

Layout 2
SALSAFY, OR VEGETABLE OYSTER.
Tragopògon pòrifolius.—Salsifis, Fr.
Salsafy is a hardy carrot-rooted biennial, a native of the mountain meadows of Switzerland. It is considered wholesome and nutricious, and much esteemed by some classes, under the name of Oyster-plant, from its flavor after being cooked, having a considerable resemblance to the Oyster. It makes an excellent variety at the table, and forms an agreeable dish throughout the Winter season. As the Oyster is a very celebrated fish, and many in the interior rarely obtain it, all may ​cultivate this vegetable, which really makes a near approach to it in taste, when cooked in the following manner. Previous to boiling the roots, let them be slightly scraped, and then laid in water for about an hour; then boil them till quite tender. Let them be taken out and laid to drain for a short time, during which a thick batter should be made with the white of eggs beaten up with a little flour. Grate the roots down tolerably fine; press them into small flattened balls; dip these in the batter, and roll them into grated crackers or crumbs of bread; then fry them in a pan till they are of a deep brown color, when they are ready for the table, and will form a very agreeable and even delicious dish.
Culture.—Sow the seed in drills, half an inch deep, and ten inches apart, in April, or before the end of May. As soon as the plants are an inch high, thin them out with the hoe to four or six inches apart. Keep the ground clear of weeds, giving them the general culture of Carrots. This vegetable is perfectly hardy, and may stand out all Winter, though it is necessary to store away a quantity for Winter use when the ground is hard frozen. They like a deep, rich soil, and will be in good condition for the table till the end of March.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Rue

Layout 2
RUE.
Rūta gravèolens.—Rue, Fr.—Rante, Ger.
Is a hardy shrub, and a native of the south of Europe. It is propagated in a similar manner to the Rosemary, and requires the same cultivation. The common Rue has a strong, ungrateful odor, and a bitter, hot, penetrating taste. The leaves are so acrid as to irritate and inflame the skin if they are much handled. Rue was much used by the ancients, who ascribed to it many excellent qualities. It is employed by some as a tea, and also externally, in various kinds of fomentations. A conserve, made by beating the fresh leaves with thrice their weight of sugar, is the most commodious form for using the herb in substance. It is a powerful astringent, and adapted to phlegmatic habits, or weak and hysterical constitutions suffering from retarded or obstructive secretions.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Sage

Layout 2
SAGE.
Sálvia officinàlis.—Sauge, Fr.—Salbey, Ger.
Is a native of the south of Europe, a perennial, and readily increased by planting slips or cuttings in April. Sage has a strong, fragrant smell, and a warm, bitterish, aromatic taste. It was in ancient times considered as a remedy of general efficacy in all diseases. At present, however, few practitioners consider it as an article of much importance in medicine. Although frequently employed as a sudorific, it seems to have no advantage in this respect over many other plants. The Chinese, who are said to have experienced the good effect of Sage, value it highly, and prefer it to their own Tea. The Dutch have long been in the habit of drying Sage leaves in great quantities, and taking them out to China, where for every pound of Sage they get in exchange four pounds of Tea. It is much used in cookery of various descriptions.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Scurvy Grass

Layout 2
SCURVY GRASS.
Cochleària officinàlis.—Cranson officinal, Fr.—Loffelkraut, Ger.
Common on the sea coasts of Europe, and not unfrequent in mountainous countries, far inland. It is biennial, and propagated from seed sown in the Spring, or by parting the roots and planting them in a light, moist soil. This plant has a warm, acrid, bitter taste, and a pungent, rather unpleasant smell when bruised. It has been considered as one of the most effectual of all the antiscorbutics, when eaten as a salad with Water Cress, &c.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Rotation of Crops

Layout 2
ROTATION OF CROPS.
​Rotation of Crops.—I admit that the same vegetable can be grown upon the same spot with success, year after year, but I also assert that a rotation of crops will be more productive, which is of great importance in culinary gardening; therefore never grow exhausting crops in succession. Substitute those alternately of as different roots and constitution as possible. Keep these objects in view, and even with ordinary management we vouch for a crop. Assiduity in the destruction of weeds, neatness and cleanliness, a constant stirring of the soil, digging deep and manuring freely, must be the constant companions of the gardener; making the business a source of pleasure, profit and advantage to himself, and an object of admiration to others.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Scorzonera

Layout 2
SCORZONERA.
Scorzonèra hispánica. —Scorzonere, Fr.
This vegetable is a native of Spain, and has, to a limited extent, been long in cultivation. There is very little difference between the character and flavor of this root and that of Salsafy. It is cultivated more as a variety than for any real utility as a vegetable. It is cooked in the same manner as the former, and cultivated with the Carrot. The seed must be sown in April, as it requires longer to mature than either the Salsafy or the Carrot.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Shallot

Layout 2
SHALLOT.
A’llium ascalònicum.—Eschalote, Fr.—Schallote, Ger.
It will be observed from the botanic name of Shallot, that it is classed with the Onion tribe. It was introduced from Asealon, a town of Syria, and frequently is known under the name of Eschalots. They have a strong but not unpleasant odor, and are preferred to the Onion for various purposes of cookery and seasoning. Many epicures consider them the best seasoning for a good old-fashioned dish of beef-steaks. Though it has been two hundred years in cultivation, very little of the article is used in this country, unless by the French.
Culture.—The roots are bulbous, and increase readily by offsets, the largest of which are most proper for use. The bulbs are oblong and irregular, seldom becoming large; generally growing in clusters, they do not swell like roots that grow singly. The soil best adapted for their growth is a light, rich, sandy loam, though they will thrive well in any rich soil that is not saturated with moisture. Plant them in October or November, in drills, six inches apart, three inches deep, and about eight inches from row to row. If a quantity of soot be mixed with the soil, it will greatly prevent the attacks of a maggot, which frequently commits depredations upon this plant. Early in Spring draw away the earth from the bulbs, ​leaving them entirely naked; nothing further is required than to keep them free from weeds. In July the tops begin to turn yellow, when the roots can be taken up and dried in the same manner as Garlic. If the planting is delayed till Spring, the bulbs will not require to be put under ground, but merely planted as Onion sets, which their culture very much resem-
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Silver Beet

Layout 2
SWISS CHARD, OR SILVER BEET.
Béta Vulgàris argentèa.—Swiss Chard, Ger.
This spinaceous plant is becoming very generally distributed as a vegetable. Its leaves only are used. It is a variety of the Beet, having bright green foliage, with the leaf-stalk and mid-rib of a pure white, and is sometimes known under the name of Seakale Bea, from the fact that the footstalk and nerves of the leaves can be used like that vegetable. The leaf, after being deprived of the strong membranes, is cooked like Spinach, and very favorably received at the table. The root portion of the plant is not generally made use of.
Culture.—This is accomplished in the same manner and by the same process as detailed for the Beet. It is extensively cultivated in France, Germany, and Switzerland. To those who are fond of a vegetable diet, it may form a very prominent portion in the months of June, July, and August―the warm season, when Spinach and Scakale cannot be obtained. Sow for the first crop in March, and for the second in May. An ounce of seed will supply a large family.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Slovenians

Edition of 1920. See also Wends on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
SLOVENIANS, or SLOVENES, the native name of the Slavic inhabitants of Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, the Austrian maritime territory, a narrow strip in the west of Hungary and in Venetian Friuli. By the Germans they are often called Wends or Winds. They settled in these districts toward the end of the 6th century, having migrated there from Pannonia. Christianity was introduced among them not later than the 8th century. Their land was incorporated under the name of the Windic March with the empire of Charlemagne. Out of this march were afterward formed the duchies of Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, which fell to Germany and ultimately to Austria. Their total number is about 1,300,000. The language of the Slovenians is closely allied to the Servian. (See Slavs). It possesses some very old and valuable monuments of the Slavonic tongue. The oldest, which is at the same time the most ancient of all the Slavonic literary relics, is the Munich manuscript, of the date 957-994. written by Bishop Abraham, of Freising, in Bavaria, and consisting of three articles on religious subjects. It is printed in Kopitar's ‘Glagolitza Clozianus’ (Vienna 1836). After a long slumber the dialect was resuscitated for literary purposes in the 16th century, when several ecclesiastics brought it to a high state of development. In 1584 Bohoricz published a grammar of the language, and in the
same year there appeared a translation of the whole Bible. The best grammar is that of Kopitar (Laibach 1808). A dictionary by Jarnik and Mark was published in 1832, and collections of popular songs were published by Wraz and by Korytko in 1839. See Slavs.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Slow-Worm

Edition of 1920. See also Anguis on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
SLOW-WORM, or BLIND-WORM, a limbless, snake-like lizard (Angius fragilis) of Europe which creeps about beneath dead leaves, in rotting logs, etc., in search of insects. It is 15 to 20 inches in length, smoothly scaly, brown striped and perfectly harmless.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Slowacki, Julius

Edition of 1920. See also Juliusz Słowacki on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
SLOWACKI, slō-vä'kē, Julius, Polish poet: b. Kremenecz, in Volhynia, 23 Aug. 1809; d. Paris, 3 April 1849. He was educated in the University of Vilna. His first work was the poetic tale ‘Hugo’; this was followed by the tragedy ‘Mindowe’ (1829); the poem ‘Mnich’ (the ‘Monk’); and the tragedy ‘Marya Stuart’ (1830); in all of which he was under the influence of Byron; but escapes from it in the ‘Ode to Liberty’; ‘Hymn to the Mother of God’; and ‘Song of the Lithuanian Legion’ (1831) . The sentiment of Polish nationality finds fullest expression in the dramatic poem ‘Kordyan’ (1834), and in the tragedy ‘Mazeppa.’ Slowacki reaches the height of his lyric power in the poem ‘In Switzerland.’ His last great work, left incomplete, was ‘King Spirit,’ which he designed to be a “legend of the ages” of Polish history. See Kordyan.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Smith College

Edition of 1920. See also Smith College on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
SMITH COLLEGE, located at Northampton, Mass. It was founded by Sophia Smith, who bequeathed $393,105 for “an institution of learning for the higher education of young women, with the design to furnish them means and facilities for education equal to those which are afforded in the colleges for young men.” The college was incorporated in 1871 and opened to students in 1875; it is unsectarian in its management and instruction. The college confers the three degrees of A.B., M.A., and Ph.D. The course includes a year's work in eight required subjects, including Bible study, a major study consisting of related courses in the junior and senior years, two three-hour courses in the junior and senior years, one of which must be in a department entirely different from the major study, and free electives to complete the required number of hours. The curriculum includes music and art, and a certain amount of technical work in each department when combined with theoretical courses counts toward the degree. Formerly the departments of music and art were organized as separate
schools, but in 1902 were co-ordinated with the other collegiate studies. The college was among the first to recognize music and art among the qualifications for the degree. A number of scholarships are provided, the largest of which has a fund of $10,000; there are also fellowships for advanced work in philosophy and psychology, botany and zoology; and the college aids in the support of the American women's table at the zoological station at Naples, entitling graduates to appointment to this station. Likewise two tables are maintained at the seaside laboratories for the advanced study of zoology and botany. Physical training is required of students, and much interest is also taken in outdoor sports. The college has a large and beautiful campus, including the botanical gardens; the buildings (in 1904) are College Hall, Seelye Hall, the John M. Greene Hall. Lilly Hall of Science, Chemistry Hall, the Library, the Observatory, Music Hall, the Hellyer Art Gallery, the Alumnæ Gymnasium, the Infirmary, the Lyman Plant House, the Botanic Garden, the Students' Building, the centre of the students' social life, with a large hall, rooms for clubs, etc., and a reading-room, and 18 dwelling-houses. "The library contains about 70,000 volumes, and the Northampton Public Library and the Forbes Library are also open to students. The productive funds in 1917 amounted to $2,242,591, the students numbered 1,946 and the faculty 205. In the European War, Smith College sent a body of students to do reconstruction and canteen work in France; and maintained courses of instruction for laboratory assistants, and a two years' course for training assistants, in neurological hospitals for the treatment of nervous debility and shell shock among returned soldiers.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Sow-thistle

Edition of 1920. See also Sonchus on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
SOW-THISTLE, a genus (Sonchus) of herbs of the order Compositæ. The species, of which there are about 30, are natives of the Old World, but some have become widely naturalized in temperate climates. They have alternate leaves, blue or yellow flowers in heads and beaked seeds crowned by fine white down. The common sow-thistle (S. oleraceus) is an annual which grows about 30 inches tall, has yellow flowers, and is found usually in rich soils. Its young leaves and tender tops are used as a substitute for spinach in northern Europe. The alpine sow-thistle (S. or Lactuca, alpina) is a native of mountainous Europe. It has beautiful blue flowerheads. The beach sow-thistle (S. maritimus) grows in saline soils in southern Europe, and is specially attractive because of its yellow flower-heads. These species are sometimes cultivated in gardens.
