"Que levas, cruel morte? Hum claro dia"
What takest thou, cruel Death? A day all-splendid.  At what hour diddest take it? At dawn of day.  Dost thou intend thy prize? Intend it? Nay! Who willed thou take it? HE that it intended.
Who 'joys her body? Clay-cold Earth that pen'd it,  How quenchèd was her light? Night o'er it lay,  What saith our Lusia? She must say her say. What say? Great Mary my deserts transcended.
Slewst him that saw her? He lay dead before.  What now saith Love? He durst no word let fall.  And who doth silence him! My will be done.
What to the Court remained? Love-longings sore.  What there remains to see? No thing at all.  What glory failèd it? This lovely One.

Two Years After
The winter morning as I write — In the grim city's gloomy light, Midst fogs that choke street, river, church, And the fast-falling flakes besmirch —
How pure o'er that far country-side Must gleam the snow-waste drifted wide; In my mind's eye I see it rolled O'er stream-gashed glen and brambly wold;
O'er wheat-sown slope and climbing lane, And ridge that bounds the battle plain; And orchard, lawn, and garden sward — That same white raiment of the Lord!
The church stands on the woodland hill, The pine-trees fence the churchyard still; Eastward it looks, that home of hers, The robin whistles in her firs.
All seems the same; but where is she Whose name is breathed from brake and tree? Where lives and soars that noblest one It raised our life to look upon?
Shall spring-tide wake the world again, And summer light the eyes of men? Shall throstles thrill her oaken glade, The primrose star her hazel shade?
This icy mist, these clouds of gray, Will they not all be wept away? And western airs blow kindly through Large lucid skies of tender blue?
And shall no vernal dawn await The hopes by death left desolate? No shining angel brood above The sepulchre of human love?
That brain of strength, that heart of fire, That liquid voice, a living lyre — Do not these vibrate, throb, and burn Where the lost lights of time return?
The aspiration, passion, power, That crowd with fate a mortal hour, Are these crude seeds no bloom may bless, Beginnings bright of emptiness?
Love's shattered dream —shall it not rise Re-builded for immortal eyes? Life's broken song end where round Him Still quire the "young-eyed cherubim"?

I.  WORKS DEATH SUCH A CHANGE?
Works Death such change upon our dead, Doth it such awe around them spread,  That should they suddenly appear,  At once we’d shrink from them with fear, Though on their breast we laid our head?
Why should their light and ghostly tread Thus thrill us with a nameless dread,  If still we hold them all so dear?  Works Death such change?
We kiss’d their cold lips on the bier, And weeping wish’d the spirit here;  And shall the wish be all unsaid,  If some night, rising near our bed, They stand within the moonlight clear?  Works Death such change?
 II.  I WOULD NOT SHRINK.
I would not shrink if some dear ghost, One of the Dead’s unnumber’d host,  Should rise in silence of the night,  Shrined in an aureole of light, And pale as snowdrop in the frost.
No! If the brother loved and lost, For me the silent river cross’d,  For me left worlds all fair and bright,  I would not shrink.
Oh, if I gauge my heart aright, Dear would the dead be to my sight.  A vision from the other coast  Of one on earth I cherish’d most, Would be a measureless delight;  I would not shrink.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 154/Issue 1996/Immigration into the United States

Originally published in Economist.
The immigration returns of the United States Bureau of Statistics for the fiscal year ending the 30th June last show an enormous increase in the influx of foreign emigrants. In each of the past ten years the number of arrivals has been: —
| Year. | No. of Immigrants | Year. | No. of Immigrants |
| 1882 | 789,003 | 1877 | 141,857 |
| 1881 | 669,431 | 1876 | 169,986 |
| 1880 | 457,257 | 1875 | 227,498 |
| 1879 | 177,826 | 1874 | 313,339 |
| 1878 | 138,469 | 1873 | 459,803 |
Compared with the previous year, there was in 1881-2 an increase in the arrivals of 119,572, or about eighteen per cent., and the sources whence this increase were derived are shown in the following table: —
| | 1882. | 1883. | Inc. |
| England and Wales | 85,175 | 66,204 | 18,971 |
| Ireland | 76,432 | 72,342 | 4,090 |
| Scotland | 18,937 | 15,168 | 3,769 |
| Austria | 16,770 | 21,109 | 4,339 |
| Germany | 249,505 | 210,485 | 39,020 |
| Norway | 29,100 | 22,705 | 6,395 |
| Sweden | 64,607 | 49,760 | 14.847 |
| Dominion of Canada | 98,308 | 125,391 | 27,083 |
| China | 39,579 | 11,890 | 27,689 |
| All other countries | 110,590 | 74,377 | 36,213 |
| Total | 789,003 | 669,431 | 119,572 |
The increasing flow of emigrants from Germany is a significant indication of the effects of Prince Bismarck's fiscal policy. To the enormous burdens imposed by the German military system have now been added the pressure of a protective tariff, which enhances the cost of living, while it has not had the anticipated effect of increasing wages; and it is no wonder, therefore, that large numbers of the people are finding life at home so little tolerable that they are eager to flock elsewhere. Whether the United States can continue to absorb such large masses of population is another question. So far as the influx is made up of persons following agricultural pursuits, it probably need excite no apprehension. For such persons there is a practically unlimited field. It is very different, however, with the industrial portion of the immigrants. The effect of the American tariff, it is to be remembered, is to restrict home producers to the home markets, and there are already indications of those markets becoming overstocked. It may be doubted, therefore, whether there is scope for an expansion of industrial activity sufficient to accommodate the great influx of new workers, so long, at least, as the present fiscal arrangements are maintained. This, however, only time will show.
# League of Nations (Harding)

Nationality is the call of the hearts of liberated people, and a dream of those to whom freedom becomes an undying cause. It's the guiding light, the calm, the prayer, the confirmation for our own people, although we were never assured indivisible union until the Civil War was fought. Can any red-blooded American content now, when we have come to understand its priceless value -- to merge our nationality into internationality, merely because brotherhood and fraternity and fellowship and peace are soothing and appealing terms?
Out of the ferment, the turmoil, the debts, and echoing sorrows, out of the appalling waste and far reaching disorder, out of the threats against orderly government and the assault on our present day civilization, I think, sirs, I can see the opening way for America. We must preserve the inheritance and cling to just government. We do not need, and we do not mean to live within and for ourselves alone, but we do mean to hold our ideals safe from foreign incursion. We have commanded respect and confidence. Commanded them in the friendships and the associations of peace. Commanded them in the conflicts and comradeships of war. It's easily possible to hold the world's high estimate through righteous relationships if our ideals of civilization are the best in the world. And I proudly believe that they are.
Then we ought to send the American torch bearers leading on to fulfillment. America aided in saving civilization. Americans will not fail civilization in the deliberate advancement of peace. We're willing to give, but we resent demand. I do not believe, Senators, that it's going to break the heart of the world to make this covenant right, or at least free it from perils which would endanger our own independence. But it were better to witness this rhetorical tragedy, than to destroy the soul of this great republic.
It's a very alluring thing, Senators, to do what the world has never done before. No republic has ever permanently survived. They have flashed, illumined, and advanced the world, and then faded or crumbled. I want to be a contributor to the abiding republic. None of us today can be sure that it shall abide for generations to come. But we may hold it unshaken for our day, and pass it on to the next generation preserved in its integrity. This is the unending call of duty to men of every civilization. It is distinctly the American call to duty, to every man who believes we have come the nearest to dependable, popular government the world has yet witnessed.
Let us have our America walking erect, unafraid, concerned about its rights and ready to defend them. Proud of its citizens and committed to defend them. And sure of its ideals and strong to support them. We're a hundred million or more today, and if the miracle of the first century of national life may be repeated in the second, the millions of today will be the myriads of the future. I like to think, sirs, that out of the discovered soul of the republic, and through our preservative actions in this supreme moment of human progress, we shall hold the word American the proudest boast of citizenship in all the world.

# League of Nations' expulsion of the USSR

Resolution passed by the League of Nations on 14 December 1939.
The Council,
Having taken cognisance of the resolution adopted by the Assembly on December 14, 1939, regarding the appeal of the Finnish Government,
1. Associates itself with the condemnation by the Assembly of the action of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics against the Finnish State, and
2. For the reasons set forth in the resolution of the Assembly, in virtue of Article 16, paragraph 4, of the Covenant, finds that, by its act, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has placed itself outside the League of Nations. It follows that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is no longer a Member of the League.

SCENE IN LEBANON.
"THE PRETTIEST AND ONE OF THE BOLDEST PASSES IN LEBANON."
Ye mountains, gloomy with the past,
 Ye dark ancestral heights,
Whereon the gleams of morning cast
 The earliest of their lights.
The stars shine out above your snows,
 Until the world seems made
For that one hour of dim repose
 Of solitude and shade.
What have ye witnessed, since ye prest,
 Beneath the new-born sun,
That shadow, type of those which rest
 All human things upon.
Change has passed over all below,
 But none has passed o'er thee.
Oh, mighty mountain! thou art now
 What thou wast—and wilt be.
The proud Assyrian's purple host
 Swept through thy dark defile,
Their banners by thy winds were tost,
 Which mocked their pride the while.
Persian, and Ottoman, and kings
 Far from the northern seas,
And knight and monk tradition brings
 'Neath these ancestral trees.
There was earth's first-born offering made,
 And there the Cross has past;
God's earliest altars knew their shade,
 And they shall know the last.

KATE IS CRAZ’D.
COWPER.
"There often wanders one, whom better days
Saw better clad, in cloak of satin trimmed
With lace, and hat with splendid riband bound.
A serving-maid was she, and fell in love
With one who left her, went to sea, and died.
Her fancy followed him through foaming waves
To distant shores; and she would sit and weep
At what a sailor suffers; fancy too,
Delusive most where warmest wishes are,
Would oft anticipate his glad return,
And dream of transports she was not to know.
She heard the doleful tidings of his death—
And never smiled again! and now she roams
The dreary waste; there spends the livelong day,
And there, unless when charity forbids,
The livelong night. A tattered apron hides,
Worn as a cloak, and hardly hides, a gown
More tattered still; and both but ill conceal
A bosom heaved with never-ceasing sighs.
She begs an idle pin of all she meets,
And hoards them in her sleeve; but needful food,
Though pressed with hunger oft, or comelier clothes,
Though pinched with cold, asks never.—Kate is craz’d."
How wonderful! how beautiful! these words
 Are but the usual recompense assigned
 To usual efforts of the human mind.
And yet how little jars these mighty chords!
How soon but one uneasy hour affords
 Space for disunion and for disarray,
 To mar the music of an earlier day!
It is a fearful thing to live, yet be
 That which is scarcely life—the spirit fled—
 Death at the heart—our nobler self is dead—
The reasoning and responsible, while we
Live, like the birds around, unconsciously.
 God! in thy mercy keep us from such doom,
 Let not our mind precede us to our tomb!

* INTERIOR OF A MOORISH PALACE, ALGIERS.
* Artist: T. Allom - Engraved by: E. Challis
INTERIOR OF A MOORISH PALACE.
The palace, built by Hamooda Pasha, is a magnificent specimen of Moorish architecture.
Hamooda holds a feast to-night—
Fill ye the lamps with fragrant light;
Burn, in the twilight's dewy time,
The mastic, rosemary, and thyme;
And scatter round the festal chamber
Oils from the rose, the musk, the amber.
And bind ye wreaths to hang the room,
The red pomegranate just in bloom,
The tulip, with the purple glow,
That hides the burning heart below;
The crimson rose beside the pale,
And the white jasmin, faint and frail.
Fling ye the silken curtains wide,
With gold restrained—with scarlet dyed.
And let the colours wander o'er
The polished walls—the snowy floor.
The painted glass has hues to vie
With morning's dew or evening's sky.
White are the walls, but o'er them wind
Rich patterns curiously designed.
The Koran's sentences of light,
Where azure, gold, and red unite;
And like their mirrors, fountains play
To lull and cool the burning day.
See the sherbets be cool with snows,
Flavoured with lemon and with rose;
High in pearl baskets pile the grape
So that no purple bloom escape.
Bring ye the sweetmeats, and serve up
The coffee in a golden cup.
Call in the music, hours are long
Unspeeded by the dance and song.
Prepare the fairest slaves, whose eyes
Are stars to light our human skies.
Gather scents, songs, tales, smiles, and light,
The Bey Hamooda feasts to-night.L. E. L.

L’ENVOI.
Farewell, farewell! Thy latest word is spoken:
 The lute thou lovedst hath given its latest tone;
Yet not without a lingering, parting token
 Hast thou gone from us, young and gifted one!
And what in love thou gavest, here we treasure,
 Sweet words of song penned in those far-off wilds,
And pure and righteous thoughts, in lofty measure,
 Strong as a patriot's, gentle as a child's.
Here shrine we them, like holy relics keeping,
 That they who loved thee may approach and read;
May know thy latest thoughts; may joy in weeping
 That thou wast worthy to be loved indeed!
Farewell, farewell! And as thy heart could cherish
 For love, a flower, the sere leaf of a tree,—
So from these pages shall not lightly perish
 Thy latest lays—memento flowers of thee!

PREFACE.
One of the most melancholy of events has made me the successor of L.E.L. in the editorship of the Drawing Room Scrap-Book. I feel that a responsible and somewhat difficult duty has been laid upon me, less from the intrinsic nature of the work itself, than from being the successor of its former Editor. The pleasant custom of nine years had so associated her name, and her peculiar sentiments and graceful poetry, with these volumes, that, even though it had been possible for me to perform the task more ably, it must take some time to accustom the public to the difference. This consciousness has, I confess, made me perform my part with some anxiety. To the public, however, this volume must be particularly interesting. It contains eight poems which had been prepared for it by its former gifted Editor, and which, for noble sentiment, she never surpassed. I need hardly say how affecting this unfinished labour was to me. I seemed to take up the work, as it were, from the very hands of the dead.
