# Political fragments of Archytas and other ancient Pythagoreans/From the treatise of Diotogenes on sanctity 1

FROM THE TREATISE OF DIOTOGENES ON SANCTITY.
It is necessary that the laws should not be enclosed in houses, and by gates, but in the manners of the citizens. What, therefore, is the principle of every polity? The education of youth. For vines will never bear useful fruit, unless they are well cultivated; nor will horses ever become excellent, if colts are not properly trained. For recently produced fruit receives a figure especially similar to that which touches and is near to it. And men prudently attend to the manner in which vines ought to be cut and taken care of; but in things pertaining to the education of their own species, they conduct themselves negligently and rashly; though neither vines nor wine govern men, but man and the soul of man. And we commit the nurture of a plant, indeed, to a man of some worth, and think that he who takes care of it, deserves no less than two mina; but we commit the edu​cation of youth to some Illyrian or Thracian, who are men of no worth. The first legislators, however, as they could not render the middle class of mankind stable, adjoined [in their education] dancing and rhythm, which participate of motion alone and order; and besides these they added sports, some of which exhorted them to fellowship, but others to truth and mental acuteness. In a similar manner also they instituted for those who through intoxication or repletion had committed any crime, the pipe and harmony, by which they gave an arrangement to the mind, so that the manners being matured and rendered mild, they might be capable of being adorned.
# Political fragments of Archytas and other ancient Pythagoreans/On the mutations of polities, from the treatise of Hippodamus on a polity

ON THE MUTATIONS OF POLITIES, FROM THE TREATISE OF HIPPODAMUS ON A POLITY.
Every thing mortal, by a necessity of nature, is conversant with mutations; some things, indeed, receiving a revolution from a worse to a better condition, but others from a better to a worse. For things that are generated, are increased; when increased, arrive at their acme: after this become old, and at length finally perish. And things, indeed, which are generated by nature, through the same nature terminate in the immanifest; and again from the immanifest accede to mortality, through a permutation of generation; and, by a reciprocation of corruption, form a circular retrogression. And some things, through human folly, from an ebullition of insolence and satiety, when both houses and cities have been exalted to the summit of human felicity, and been exuberantly rich, have perished, together with their much applauded possessions. Thus, also, it happens that every empire is bounded by three times: by one, indeed, and that the first, which comprehends in itself acquisition; by the second, which comprehends fruition; and by the last, which brings with it destruction. For empires at their commencement ​being destitute of the goods of fortune, are busied in acquisition; but afterwards becoming prosperous, they perish. Such things, therefore, as are under the dominion of the gods, being incorruptible, are preserved through the whole of time by incorruptible natures; but such things as are under the government of men, being mortal, receive from mortals a perpetually various mutation. For the end, indeed, of satiety and lascivious insolence is destruction; but a strenuous and worthy life is the end of poverty and narrow circumstances. Not only poverty, however, but many other things bring human life to an end.
# The Dial (Third Series)/Volume 75/The Man with the Flower in His Mouth

THE MAN WITH THE FLOWER IN HIS MOUTH
A Dialogue
BY LUIGI PIRANDELLO
Translated From the Italian by Arthur Livingston
CHARACTERS
The Man With the Flower in His Mouth A Customer (With Time on His Hands)
Twice, during the Dialogue, a melancholy woman, in a black dress, and an old hat with drooping feathers, will appear round the corner.
An avenue, lined with trees; electric lights gleaming through the foliage. On either side, the last houses of a street crossing the avenue. Among the houses to the left, a miserable all-night café, with tables and chairs on the sidewalk. In front of the houses on the right a street-lamp lighted. Astride the angle made by the two walls of the house to the left, which has a front both on the street and on the avenue, a street-lamp, also lighted. It is shortly after midnight. Faintly, from a distance, comes at intervals the thrumming of a mandolin. As the curtain rises, The Man With the Flower in His Mouth is seated at one of the tables, silently observing the Customer, who, at a neighbouring table, is sipping a mint frappée through a straw.

# Political fragments of Archytas and other ancient Pythagoreans/From the treatise of Sthenidas the Locrian, on a kingdom

FROM THE TREATISE OF STHENIDAS THE LOCRIAN, ON A KINGDOM.
It is requisite that a king should be a wise man: for thus he will be honoured analogously to the first God, of whom also he will be an imitator. For this god is by nature the first king and potentate; but a king is so by birth and imitation. And the former rules in the universe, and in the whole of things; but the latter in the earth. The former also governs all things eternally, and has a never-failing life, possessing wisdom in himself; but the latter acquires science through time. But a king will imitate the first God in the most ​excellent manner, if he acquires magnanimity, gravity, and the want of but few things; exhibiting to his subjects a paternal disposition. For on this account especially, the first God is conceived to be the father both of Gods and men, because he is mild to every thing which is in subjection to him, and never ceases to govern with providential regard. Nor is he alone satisfied with being the maker of all things, but he is the nourisher, the preceptor of every thing beautiful, and the legislator to all things equally. Such also ought the king to be who rules over men on the earth. Nothing however is beautiful which is deprived of a king and a ruler. But it is not possible for a king or a ruler [properly so called] to exist without wisdom and science. He, therefore, who is a wise man and a king, will be an imitator, and a legitimate minister of God.

# Krilof and His Fables/The Swan, the Pike, and the Crab

The Swan, the Pike, and the Crab.
A Swan, a Crab, and a Pike once undertook to draw a load, and all three yoked themselves to it together. They strain away as if they would burst, but the load makes no way. Its weight would have seemed but a light one for them. But the Swan wings its way into the clouds, the Crab crawls backwards, and the Pike flops into the water. Which of them was in the right, and which in the wrong, it is not for us to decide. But the load remains there to the present day.
["From the very commencement of the alliance between France and England for the protection of Turkey," says Mr. Sutherland Edwards, in his "Russians at Home," "Russia asserted—the wish being, of course, father to the assertion—that such a union could never lead to any practical result. In illustration of this idea, a swan, a crab, and a pike, each in its own way a water-animal, were represented in the act of drawing a load—or rather of attempting to do so, for the load remained stationary. Beneath the engraving was printed the fable (by Krilof) from which the idea was taken."]

# Beachy Head: with Other Poems/Advertisement

ADVERTISEMENT.
As the following Poems were delivered to the Publisher as early as the month of May last, it may not be thought improper to state the circumstances that have hitherto delayed their appearance.
The fulfilling this duty to the public has since devolved to other hands; for alas! the admired author is now unconscious of their praise or censure, having fallen a victim to a long and painful illness, on the 28th of October last.
​The delay which since that period has taken place, has been occasioned partly by the hope of finding a preface to the present publication, which there was some reason to suppose herself had written, and partly from an intention of annexing a short account of her life; but it having been since decided to publish biographical memoirs, and a selection of her correspondence, on a more enlarged plan, and under the immediate authority of her own nearest relatives, it was thought unnecessary; and the motives for deferring the publication are altogether removed.
The public, who have received the several editions of Mrs. Smith's former Poems with unbounded approbation, will, without doubt, admit the claims of the present work to an equal share of their favour; and her friends and ​admirers cannot fail of being highly gratified in observing, that although most of the Poems included in this volume were composed during the few and short intervals of care which her infirmities permitted her to enjoy; yet they bear the most unquestionable evidence of the same undiminished genius, spirit, and imagination, which so imminently distinguished her former productions.
The Poem entitled Beachy Head is not completed according to the original design. That the increasing debility of its author has been the cause of its being left in an imperfect state, will it is hoped be a sufficient apology.
There are two Poems in this collection, viz. Flora, and Studies by the Sea, which have already been published in Mrs. Smith's ​"Conversations for the Use of Children and Young Persons"; but as many of her friends considered them as misplaced in that work, and not likely to fall under the general observation of those who were qualified to appreciate their superior elegance and exquisite fancy, and had expressed a desire of seeing them transplanted into a more congenial soil, the Publisher, with his usual liberality, has permitted them to reappear in the present volume.

# The Conservative (Lovecraft)/July 1915/Introducing Mr. John Russell

Introducing Mr. John Russell.
During the winter of 1913-14 The Conservative was engaged in an extremely heated controversy concerning the merits of a certain author whose work appeared in one of the popular magazines of the day. The letters of the disputants, both in prose and in verse, were printed in the magazine, and among them appeared both the formal heroics of The Conservative, and the neat octosyllabics of one John Russell, Esq., of Tampa, Florida. Mr. Russell and The Conservative, who were arrayed against each other in the metric fray, were each separately invited by Mr. Edward Daas to join the United, but while The Conservative responded eagerly and almost immediately, his opponent deferred action. Meanwhile a peace had been sealed betwixt the contending bards, and a correspondence established, in which The Conservative continued to urge what Don Eduardo had first mentioned; the result now appearing in Mr. Russell's advent to the association.
John Russell, whose present address is General Delivery, West Tamps, is a true-born Scotsman, being a native of Penicuik, near Edinburgh. The patriotism of his family is attested by the presence of his two nephews at the front in Belgium, one with the Gordon Highlanders and the other with a Canadian regiment. Mr. Russell's poetry has appeared in the public press of Scotland, Canada, and the United States, and possesses a tersely epigrammatical and at times brilliantly satirical style all its own. Though proficient in classic English, it is in the quaint speech of Caledonia that Mr. Russell chiefly excels. Of this delightful dialect he is a perfect master, and his well-constructed lines are redolent of the atmosphere of North Britain. Upon joining the United, one of Mr. Russell's first acts was to dedicate a poem to the Blue-Stocking Club of Rocky Mount, whose study of Robert Burns at once aroused his interest. This poem, based on the motto of the club, appears in these pages, and affords a striking example of the new member's ability in verse.
We are indeed fortunate in having among us so able a specimen of the race which produced an Arbuthnot, a Ramsay, a Thompson, a Smollett, a Hume, a Blair, a Lord Kames, an Adam Smith, a Campbell, a Scott, a Carlyle and a Stevenson.
# The Conservative (Lovecraft)/July 1915/Amateur Notes

Amateur Notes
Fletcher Otto Baxley's Alabamian is assuming an unique and necessary place in the United. Mr. Baxley is devoting his entire ​time to the encouragement of our poets, who seem rather neglected elsewhere. The amateur world would much appreciate information concerning both the author and translator of the exquisite nature poem "From the Spanish", in the Spring number; though perhaps, like Mrs. Browning's "Sonnets from the Portuguese", this poem is not so foreign as it seems.
In order to satisfy conjecture, The Conservative wishes to state that the peculiar appearance of his preceding issue was wholly unintentional. But for a mistake due to haste and a stupid printer, the paper would have been a conventional 8-page sheet like The Lake Breeze.

# Krilof and His Fables/The Nightingales

The Nightingales.
A certain birdcatcher one spring had caught a number of Nightingales in the copses. The songsters were put in cages, and they began to sing, although they would much rather have been wandering at will through the woods. When one sits in prison, has one a mind for song? But there was nothing to be done; so they sang, some from sorrow, and others to pass the time.
One poor wretch among the Nightingales endured more suffering than any of the others. He had been taken from his mate: to him confinement was most grievous. Through his tears he looked out afield from his cage; day and night did he sorrow.
At last he thinks "Grief cures no evil. Only fools weep on account of misfortunes; the wise seek for the means of working out relief from their woes. I, too, methinks, will be able to fling this weight of calamity off my neck. Surely we cannot have been caught for eating. Our master, I can see, likes to hear singing. So if I do him a service by my voice, it may be that it will bring me my reward, and he will put an end to my captivity."
So thought our minstrel, and began to sing. With song he glorified the evening glow, and with song he greeted the ​rising of the sun. But what finally came to pass ? thereby only aggravated his hard fate. He For the birds who sang badly their master has long ago opened wide both cage and window, letting them all go free. But as to our poor Nightingale, the more sweetly, the more tenderly it sings, the more strictly is it looked after.
[Trutofsky’s illustration of this fable represents the interior of a Government office. It is closing-time, and the ordinary clerks are getting ready to leave. The model clerk still sits at his table with a gloomy expression on his face. His chief is handing him a thick bundle of documents. The good singer is being kept in his cage.]
The end.
# Krilof and His Fables/The Snake and the Lamb

The Snake and the Lamb.
A Snake lay beneath a log, and raged against the whole world. It had no other feeling in it than that of rage. Of such a kind had Nature created it. Hard by there bounded and frolicked a Lamb: it never even so much as thought about the Snake.
But see! the Snake comes gliding up and strikes its fangs into the Lamb. The sky grows dark before the poor thing's eyes, and the poison turns all its blood into fire.
"What harm have I done thee?" it says to the Snake.
"Who knows?" hisses out the Snake. thou hast stolen hither to crush me. "It may be that It is by way of precaution that I punish thee."
"Ah, no!" replies the Lamb—and then its life deserts it.
One whose heart is so framed that it knows neither friendship nor love, and nourishes only hatred towards all men, such a one considers every man his enemy.
# Krilof and His Fables/The Brook

The Brook.
A shepherd by the side of a Brook complainingly sang, in his grief, of his sad and irreparable loss. His pet lamb had lately been drowned in the neighbouring river. Having heard the Shepherd, the Brook thus began to murmur indignantly:
"Insatiable river! how would it be if thy depths, like mine, were clearly visible to all eyes, and every one could see, in thy most secret recesses, all the victims which thou hast so greedily swallowed up? I think that thou wouldst dive into the earth for shame, and hide thyself in its dark abysses. Methinks that, if Fate gave me such copious waters, ​I should become an ornament to Nature, and would never hurt even so much as a chicken. How cautiously should my waves roll past every bush, every cottage! My shores would only bless me, and I should bring fresh life to the adjacent valleys and meadows, without robbing them of so much as even a single leaflet. Then, in a word, I should perform my journey in a kindly spirit, nowhere causing misfortune or sorrow, and my waters should flow right down to the sea as pure as silver."
So spake the Brook, and so it really meant. But what happened? A week had not gone by before a heavy raincloud burst upon a neighbouring hill. In its affluence of waters the Brook suddenly rivalled the river. But, alas! what has become of the Brook's tranquillity? The Brook overflows its banks with turbid waters. It seethes; it roars; it flings about masses of soiled foam. It overthrows ancestral oaks: their crashing may be heard afar. And, at last, that very shepherd, on whose account it lately upbraided the river with such a flow of eloquence, perished in it with all his flock, and of his cottage not even a trace was left behind.
How many brooks are there which flow along so smoothly, so peacefully, and murmur so sweetly to the heart, only because they have but very little water in them!
