# The Orange Tree

First published in The Bookfellow, 15 February 1921
THE young girl stood beside me. I Saw not what her young eyes could see: —A light, she said, not of the sky Lives somewhere in the Orange Tree.
—Is it, I said, of east or west? The heartbeat of a luminous boy Who with his faltering flute confessed Only the edges of his joy?
Was he, I said, borne to the blue In a mad escapade of Spring Ere he could make a fond adieu To his love in the blossoming?
—Listen! the young girl said. There calls No voice, no music beats on me; But it is almost sound: it falls This evening on the Orange Tree.
—Does he, I said, so fear the Spring Ere the white sap too far can climb? See in the full gold evening All happenings of the olden time?
Is he so goaded by the green? Does the compulsion of the dew Make him unknowable but keen Asking with beauty of the blue?
—Listen! the young girl said. For all Your hapless talk you fail to see There is a light, a step, a call, This evening on the Orange Tree.
—Is it, I said, a waste of love Imperishably old in pain, Moving as an affrighted dove Under the sunlight or the rain?
Is it a fluttering heart that gave Too willingly and was reviled? Is it the stammering at a grave, The last word of a little child?
—Silence! the young girl said. Oh, why, Why will you talk to weary me? Plague me no longer now, for I Am listening like the Orange Tree.

# National Geographic Magazine/Volume 16/Number 1/Progress in China

PROGRESS IN CHINA
Mr William E. Curtis in his public letter of December 12 says that cable dispatches from China bring the news that the empress dowager has issued an edict requiring all of the soldiers in the army to wear European dress and cut off their queues. Her orders have already been obeyed in the province of Honan. The viceroy of Honan, who has been so prompt in carrying out these instructions, has a son being educated in the United States, and the youngster had not been six weeks in this country before he cut off his own queue to escape the teasing of his schoolmates. The viceroy was greatly shocked when he heard the news, because a young man without a queue in China is quite as conspicuous as a young man with one would be in the United States. It was difficult to reconcile the old gentleman to the situation, but he seems to have obeyed imperial orders in that respect very promptly.

ST. LOUIS AND SAN FRANCISCO RAILWAY COMPANY v. SCHUMACHER
Error to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Arkansas
No. 239. Submitted: Feb. 1, 1894 --- Decided: Mar. 5, 1894
When the employé of a railroad company sues the company to recover damages for injuries inflicted upon him while in its service by reason of defective machinery, and it plainly appears that he was guilty of contributory negligence, and there is no evidence of a wilful or intentional negligence on the part of the railroad company for the purpose of injuring the plaintiff, there is nothing in the case to submit to the jury.
[p78] THIS was an action by Schumacher to recover for personal injuries received by him while in the employ of the defendant railway company as a laborer upon a gravel train, which was engaged in "surfacing" or ballasting defendant's tracks in the Indian Territory.
The complaint alleged that the plaintiff boarded the train at Tuscahoma, to aid in unloading the gravel when the car should reach its destination; that when the train reached Talihina, it was stopped on the main track to take on several cars loaded with gravel, which were then on the side track; that after these cars were switched to the main track from the side track, they were cut loose from the engine and run with great force and violence down grade, until they struck the train on which plaintiff was riding; that the brakeman was unable to diminish the speed or check the cars, by reason of a defective brake, of the condition of which the defendant had notice, or might with proper diligence have had notice; and that, by reason of the negligence of the defendant in permitting such defective brake to be used, plaintiff was, by the striking of the cars against the train on which he was riding, violently thrown from the car upon the track, the wheels running over his left foot and inflicting painful and serious injuries. In a supplemental complaint, plaintiff further charged the defendant with negligence in failing to make and enforce suitable regulations as to the manner of switching and making up trains, regulating the speed thereof, and providing a sufficient number of brakemen to check and control the cars.
The answer put in issue all these allegations, and pleaded contributory negligence on the part of the plaintiff.
Upon the trial the case was submitted to a jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $8000, upon which judgment was entered, and defendant sued out this writ of error.
Mr. George R. Peck, Mr. A. T. Britton, Mr. A. B. Browne, and Mr. E. D. Kenna for plaintiff in error.
Mr. A. H. Garland for defendant in error.

# Patronymica Cornu-Britannica/A

CORNU-BRITANNICA.
ACHYM. A family of great antiquity in Cornwall. The name is said to mean a descendant, issue, offspring, or progeny (ach). Acham appears to be the same name.
ALSTON. From als-ton, the hill by the sea-shore.
ANAER, ANEAR, ANNEAR. From an-eure, the goldsmith.
ANDERTON. From Anderton, in Launcells; from an-dar-ton, the oak hill. The non-Cornish name Anderton is from Anderton, a township and estate in co. Lancaster, formerly in the possession of the family.

ANGEAR. From an-geare, the green or fruitful place. Cf. Tregare.
ANGARRACK. From an-carrick, the rock.
ANGILLOY. From an-kelli, the grove; or an-gilly, the wood or grove of hazels. ​ANGOVE, ANGOWE, ANGROVE. From an-gove, the smith. The family appear to have descended from Reginald An-gove, of Illogan, in Penwith, who assumed the name in memory of his ancestor, by trade a smith. "And of this sort of surname in England," says Hals, "thus speaks Verstegan:
From whence came smith, all be it knight or squire? But from the smith that forgeth in the fire." (Hals.)
ANGWIN. From an-gwyn, the white (man). An-win would signify the marsh or fenny place.
ANNEAR. See Anaer.

ADOWN WINDING NITH.
TUNE—'THE MUCKIN O' GEORDIE'S BYRE.'
# The Book of Scottish Song/Adown winding Nith

Adown winding Nith.
[This is another song written by Burns, for Thomson s collection, in honour of Miss Phillis or Philadelphia Macmurdo. It is adapted to the tune called "The Mucking o' Geordie's Byre." The tune has its name from an old song, the subject of which was the complaint of a young lady (said to be a baronet's daughter) who, about the beginning of the last century, married one of her father's tenants. Being disowned by her family, she was obliged to submit to the drudgery of menial labour. The two first verses are all that can be quoted.
The mucking o' Geordie's byre, And shooling the gruip sae clean, Has gar'd me weit my cheeks, An' greit wi' baith my e'en. It was not my father's will, Nor yet my mither's desire, That e'er I should fyle my fingers, Wi' mucking o' Geordie's byre.
Balloon Tytler wrote a version of the old song, beginning, "As I went over yon meadow," but it is very poor. In the Orpheus Caledonius, (1725,) the tune is given to different words, beginning, "My father's a delver of dykes." These words Ramsay partially adopted in his song entitled ​"Slichtit Nancy," which will be found at page 101 of this collection. There are, if we mistake not, some Jacobitical songs founded on the burthen of the song, "The mucking o' Geordie's Byre;" and in the year 1819, during the Radical excitement, Alex. Rodger of Glasgow wrote a clever political song with that title, the first four lines of which ran thus:
There lives an auld farmer ca'd Geordie, A wee bittock south o' the Tweed, O' three bits o' farms he's ca'd lordie, Three snug little mailings indeed, &c.]
Adown winding Nith I did wander, To mark the sweet flowers as they spring; Adown winding Nith I did wander, Of Phillis to muse and to sing. A wa' wi' your belles and your beauties! They never wi' her can compare: Whoever has met wi' my Phillis, Has met wi' the queen o' the fair.
The daisy amused my fond fancy, So artless, so simple, so wild; Thou emblem, said I, of my Phillis,— For she is simplicity's child. The rosebud's the blush of my charmer, Her sweet balmy lip when 'tis prest: How fair and how pure is the lily! But fairer and purer her breast.
Yon knot of gay flowers in the arbour, They ne'er wi' my Phillis can vie; Her breath is the breath of the woodbine. Its dew-drop of diamond her eye. Her voice is the song of the morning. That wakes through the green spreading grove, When Phœbus peeps over the mountains, On music, on pleasure, and love.
But beauty, how frail and how fleeting, The bloom of a fine summer day! While worth in the mind of my Phillis, Will flourish without a decay. A wa' wi' your belles and your beauties! They never wi' her can compare: Whaever has met wi' my Phillis, Has met wi' the queen o' the fair.
