ESKDALE, CUMBERLAND.
Oh! No: I do not wish to see  The sunshine o’er these hills again;
Their quiet beauty wakes in me
 A thousand wishes wild and vain.
I hear the skylark’s matin songs  Breathe of the heaven he singeth near;
Ah! heaven, that to our earth belongs,
 Why is thy hope so seldom here?
The grass is fill’d with early flowers,
 Whereon the dew is scarcely dry;
While singing to the silent hours,
 The glittering waves are murmuring by.
And fancies from afar are brought  By magic lights and wandering wind; Such scene hath poet never sought,
 But he hath left his heart behind.
It is too sad to feel how blest  In such a spot might be our home; And then to think with what unrest
 Throughout this weary world we roam.
In the midst of these secluded mountain districts, says Mr. Warren in his Northern Tour, lives one of the most independent, most moral, and most respectable characters existing, the estatesman, as he is called in the language of the country, whose hospitality to the wayfarer and traveller has been thus touchingly illustrated:—"Go," said an estatesman to a person whom he had entertained for some days at his house, "go to the vale on the other side of the mountain, to the house of———,(naming the party.) and tell him you came from me. I know him not, but he will receive you kindly, for our sheep mingle on the mountains."

FISHING BOATS IN THE MONSOON.
The western coasts of India abound with a great variety of fish, of excellent quality; and a considerable population in the villages along the seashore is occupied in catching it, and, in a great measure, subsist upon it. The mode of catching the fish is as follows: piles or stakes, of considerable size and length, are sunk and secured at certain distances from the shore, extending sometimes several miles out to sea; these are driven or forced down by fastening boats to them at high water, heavily laden with ballast, which, by their own weight as the tide falls, force the stakes deeper into the sandy or muddy bottom. This operation is further assisted at the same time by a number of boatmen swaying upon ropes made fast to the upper part of the stake. To the stakes are attached nets of great length, and of very tough materials, capable of sustaining the weight of such draughts as occasionally appear almost miraculous, exhibiting a motley assemblage of varieties of fish and other marine productions.
Burn yet awhile, my wasting lamp,
 Though long the night may be;
The wind is rough, the air is damp,
 Yet burn awhile for me.
The peepul tree beside our door,
 How dark its branches wave;
They seem as they were drooping o’er
 Its usual haunt, the grave.
Why was it planted here to bring  The images of death? Surely some gladder tree should spring  Near human hope and breath.
O dove that dwellest its leaves among,
 I hear thee on the bough; I hear thy melancholy song,  Why art thou singing now?
All things are omens to the heart  That keeps a vigil lone,
When wearily the hours depart,  And yet night is not flown.
I see the lights amid the bay,
 How pale and wan they shine;
O wind, that wanderest on thy way,
 Say which of them is mine.
A weary lot the fisher hath  Of danger and of toil,
Over the wild waves is his path,
 Amid their depths his spoil.
I cannot hear the wind go by  Without a sudden fear;
I cannot look upon the sky,
 Nor fear that storms are near.
I look upon the sunny sea,
 And think of rocks below;
Still present are the shoals to me
 O’er which my love must go.
I cannot sleep as others sleep,
 Night has more care than day;
My heart is out upon the deep,
 I weep—I watch—I pray.
Ah, see a speck the waves among,
 A light boat cuts the foam,
The wild wind beareth me his song,
 Thank God, he is come home.

FOUNTAIN'S ABBEY.
Alas, alas! those ancient towers,
 Where never now the vespers ring,
But lonely at the midnight hours,
 Flits by the bat on dusky wing.
No more beneath the moonlight dim,
 No more beneath the planet ray,
Those arches echo with the hymn
 That bears life’s meaner cares away.
No more within some cloistered cell,
 With windows of the sculptured stone,
By sign of cross, and sound of bell,
 The world-worn heart can beat alone.
How needful some such tranquil place,
 Let many a weary one attest,
Who turns from life’s impatient race,
 And asks for nothing but for rest.
How many, too heart-sick to roam  Still longer o’er the troubled wave,
Would thankful turn to such a home—
 A home already half a grave.
The remains of Fountain's Abbey are considered the finest in England. The cloisters are a vast extent of straight vault, three hundred feet long, and forty-two broad; divided lengthways by nineteen pillars and twenty arches; each pillar divides into eight ribs at the top, which diverge and intersect each other on the roof. Here is a large stone basin, the remains of a fountain.

* WYCOLLER HALL, LANCASHIRE, CHRISTMAS 1650.
* Artist: H. Melville - Engraved by: E. Smith
CHRISTMAS IN THE OLDEN TIME, 1650.
At Wycoller Hall the family usually kept open house the twelve days at Christmas. Their entertainment was, a large hall of curious ashler work, a long table, plenty of furmenty like new milk, in a morning, made of husked wheat, boiled and roasted beef, with a fat goose, and a pudding, with plenty of good beer for dinner. A round-about fire-place, surrounded with stone benches, where the young folks sat and cracked nuts, and diverted themselves, and in this manner the sons and daughters got matching without going much from home."— Family MS. of the Cunliffes.
You must come back, my brother,  For Christmas is so near,
And Christmas is the crowning time,
 The purple of the year;
He calls his court about him,
 He is the fairy king,
Whose revel is at midnight
 Within a charmed ring.
 Christmas is coming, my brother dear,
 And Christmas comes, my brother, but once a year.
The last leaf hath departed  From off the old oak tree,
But there is the wreath of misletoe
 Where the green leaf used to be.
And we’ll hang up the charmed coronal
 Above the highest door,
And strangers all must pay the fine
 Ere they tread the fairy floor.
 Christmas is coming, my brother dear,
 And Christmas comes, my brother, but once a year.
The trees are white with hoar-frost,  And snow is on the ground,
But there are yet some roses
 Beside the casement found;
And the terrace yet has myrtle;
 Both shall be saved for you;
And you shall give them, my brother,
 But I must not guess to who!
 Christmas is coming, my brother dear,
 And Christmas comes, my brother, but once a year.
The willow lake is frozen,  You will have such skaiting there;
And the trees, like lovelorn maidens,
 Hang down their glittering hair.
The holly’s scarlet berries,
 Amid the leaves appear;
It is an elfin armoury,
 With banner and with spear.
 Christmas is coming, my brother dear,
 And Christmas comes, my brother, but once a year.
We shall gather every evening  Beside the ancient hearth,
But one vacant place beside it,
 Would darken all its mirth.
At any time but Christmas
 We give you leave to roam,
But now come back, my brother,
 You are so missed at home.
 Christmas is coming, my brother dear,
 And Christmas comes, my brother, but once a year.

* DUNOLD MILL-HOLE, NEAR LANCASTER.
* Artist: G. Pickering - Engraved by: Rob. Sands
DUNOLD MILL-HOLE,
In the village of Kellet, about five miles from Lancaster.
I fly from the face of my foe in his might,
I ask from the sky but the shadow of night,
I am lonely, yet dread lest the wandering wind
Should bring me the step or the voice of my kind.  I hear the soft voices that sing in the cave,
When from the rent limestone out-gushes the wave; While the echoes that haunt the dim caverns repeat,
The music they make in repeating more sweet.
 There are colours like rainbows spread over the wall,
For the damps treasure sunbeams wherever they fall; In each little nook where the daylight finds room
Wild flow'rets like fairy gifts burst into bloom.
 The small lakes are mirrors, which give back the sky, The stars in their depths on a dark midnight lie,
I gaze not on heaven—I dare not look there,
But I watch the deep shadows, and know my despair.
 From the sparry roof falls a perpetual shower,
Doth nature then weep o’er some evil-starred hour.
While memory all that it mourns for endears,
Such sorrow is gentle, for blessed are tears.  I weep not, I sit in my silence alone,
My heart, like the rock that surrounds me, is stone, Beside me forever a pale shadow stands,
My hands clasp for prayer, but there’s blood on those hands.
 I rue not my anger—I rue but my shame:
Let my old halls be lonely, and perish my name! She made them lonely, ’twas she flung the stain,
I slew her while sleeping—I’d slay her again.
 O sweet bird, that lovest in that old tree to sing, Whose home is the free air, I envy thy wing,
Yet where’er those wild wings my spirit might bear,
She still must be with me, the false and the fair.
A rugged path leads to this beautiful and spacious cavern, which may well, in former days, have been the place of refuge supposed in the foregoing poem. The brook which runs through it is broken by the pointed rock into many waterfalls, and also feeds several small lakes; a spring trickles from the roof, and the sides are covered with a profusion of moss, and weeds, and wild flowers. Like most of these caverns, the walls are covered with sparry incrustations.

On Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia
No. 997. Argued: N/A --- Decided: June 17, 1968.
Admission in evidence of allegedly obscene motion picture films seized under the authority of a warrant issued by a justice of the peace on a police officer's affidavit giving the films' titles, and stating that he had determined from personal observation of the films and of the theatre's billboard that they were obscene, was erroneous, as the issuance of the warrant without the justice of the peace's inquiry into the factual basis for the officer's conclusions fell short of constitutional requirements demanding necessary sensitivity to freedom of expression.
Certiorari granted; judgment reversed and remanded.

Lee Art Theatre, Inc. v. Virginia
Mr. Justice HARLAN, dissenting.
A police officer filed a sworn affidavit that he had personally witnessed the commission of a crime, to wit, the possession and exhibition of obscene motion pictures. He was granted a warrant to seize the pictures, and did so.
In Marcus v. Search Warrants of Property at 104 East Tenth St., 367 U.S. 717, 81 S.Ct. 1708, 6 L.Ed.2d 1127, officers were given a general warrant to seize obscene materials, pursuant to which they selected and seized 11,000 copies of 280 publications most of which were later found nonobscene. With barely a nod to the difference between 11,000 books and magazines selected for seizure by the officers themselves after a warrant had been issued and two obscene movies named in the affidavit, the Court reverses the present conviction on the authority of Marcus.
I think that Marcus was correctly decided, but I cannot discern its application here. Police officers may not be given carte blanche to seize, but they may certainly seize a specifically named item on probable cause, before the work 'taken as a whole' has been adjudicated obscene. Any other rule would make adjudication not merely 'not as easily arrange(d)' in the case of movies but quite impossible. If the Court means only that the officer should not merely say that he has seen a movie and considers it obscene, but should offer something in the way of a box score of what transpires therein, I consider it absurd to think that a magistrate, armed with the luminous guidance this Court has afforded, will be thus able to make a better judgment of probable obscenity.
Since the petitioner does not contend that the movies in question here were not obscene, I find it unnecessary to reach the point relied on by my Brothers BLACK, DOUGLAS, and STEWART.

United States Supreme Court
186 U.S. 206
LEE CLARK, Plff. in Err., v. MONROE D. HERINGTON.
Argued: April 14, 1902. --- Decided: June 2, 1902
On May 20, 1899, Monroe D. Herington, the defendant in error, recovered a judgment in the district court of Labette county, Kansas, against Lee Clark, for the sum of $3,032.28, which judgment was affirmed by the supreme court of that state on November 10, 1900. Thereupon the case was brought here on writ of error.
The facts are these: The action was one to recover damages for breach of warranty in the conveyance of a part of section 22, township 15, range 5, in Morris county, Kansas. The tract was outside the place and within the indemnity limits of the land grant made July 26, 1866 (14 Stat. at L. 289, chap. 270), to the Union Pacific Railroad Company, Southern Branch, a corporation whose name was subsequently changed to Missouri, Kansas, & Texas Railroad Company. The railroad company duly constructed its road, and, failing to obtain with the place limits the full quota of lands granted to it, selected, on October 22, 1877, the tract in controversy among others in lieu thereof. At the time of such selection the tract was unimproved and without actual occupation. The selection was approved by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, but no patent was issued. On September 5, 1884, the railroad company conveyed the land to Lee Clark. He conveyed by warranty deed. Herington is a subsequent grantee in the chain of title, and is also the assignee from Clark's immediate grantee of all his rights under Clark's deed, including the right to recover damages for any breach of the covenants therein contained.
The tract was in an even-numbered section and within the place limits of the grant, made by acts of Congress of date July 1, 1862 (12 Stat. at L. 489, chap. 120), and July 2, 1864 (13 Stat. at L. 356, chap. 216), to the Union Pacific Railroad Company, Eastern Division.
On July 21, 1886, the selection by the Missouri, Kansas, & Texas Railroad Company was canceled by order of the Commissioner of the General Land Office. Notice of this order was given to the railroad company, as also time to appeal therefrom, but no appeal was ever taken. On July 28, 1888, E. M. Cox, who had, on July 31, 1886, taken forcible possession of the land, filed his declaratory statement, claiming settlement. On July 26, 1889, he made final proof, paid the government price, and received his patent certificate. Thereafter on October 15, 1890, a patent was issued to him.
Messrs. James Hagerman, T. N. Sedgwick, and J. M. Bryson for plaintiff in error.
Mr. John H. Mahan for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice Brewer delivered the opinion of the court:

* Court Documents

* Per Curiam Opinion of the Court
* Dissenting Opinion Harlan
United States Supreme Court
392 U.S. 636
Lee Art Theatre, Inc. v. Virginia
The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. Petitioner, operator of a motion picture theatre in Richmond, Virginia, was convicted in the Hustings Court of Richmond of possessing and exhibiting lewd and obscene motion pictures in violation of Title 18.1-228 of the Code of Virginia. The Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia refused a writ of error.
The films in question were admitted in evidence over objection that they had been unconstitutionally seized. The seizure was under the authority of a warrant issued by a justice of the peace on the basis of an affidavit of a police officer which stated only the titles of the motion pictures and that the officer had determined from personal observation of them and of the billboard in front of the theatre that the films were obscene.
The admission of the films in evidence requires reversal of petitioner's conviction. A seizure of allegedly obscene books on the authority of a warrant 'issued on the strength of the conclusory assertions of a single police officer, without any scrutiny by the judge of any materials considered * * * obscene,' was held to be an unconstitutional seizure in Marcus v. Search Warrants of Property at 104 East Tenth St., 367 U.S. 717, 731-732, 81 S.Ct. 1708, 1716, 6 L.Ed.2d 1127. It is true that a judge may read a copy of a book in courtroom or chambers but not as easily arrange to see a motion picture there. However, we need not decide in this case whether the justice of the peace should have viewed the motion picture before issuing the warrant. The procedure under which the warrant issued solely upon the conclusory assertions of the police officer without any inquiry by the justice of the peace into the factual basis for the officer's conclusions was not a procedure 'designed to focus searchingly on the question of obscenity,' id., at 732, 81 S.Ct., at 1716, and therefore fell short of constitutional requirements demanding necessary sensitivity to freedom of expression. See Freedman v. State of Maryland, 380 U.S. 51, 58-59, 85 S.Ct. 734, 738-739, 13 L.Ed.2d 649.
The judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.
Reversed and remanded.
Mr. Justice BLACK, Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, and Mr. Justice STEWART base their concurrence in the judgment of reversal upon Redrup v. State of New York, 386 U.S. 767, 87 S.Ct. 1414, 18 L.Ed.2d 515.
Mr. Justice HARLAN, dissenting.
