# The Pearl/Volume 8/Strictly Private, except to Brothers, By Order, The Lady Freemason.

As a brother of old, from his lodge was returning, He called on his sweetheart, with love he was burning, He wanted some favours, says she, "Not so free," Unless you reveal your famed secrets to me."
"Agreed - 'tis a bargain - you must be prepared, Your legs well exposed, your bosom all bared." Then hoodwinked and silent, says she, "I'll be mum, In despite of the poker you'll clap on my bum."
To a chamber convenient his fair charge he bore, Placed her in due form, having closed tight the door, Then presented the point of his sharp Instrumentis, And the Lady was soon made an "entered apprentice."
His working tools next to her gaze he presented, To improve by them seriously she then consented, And handled his jewels his gavel and shaft, That she in a jiffey was passed "fellow craft."
She next wanted raising, says he, "There's no urgency," She pleaded that this was a case of emergency, His column looked to her in no particular way, But she very soon made it assume perpendicular.
He used all his efforts to raise the young elf, But found he required much raising himself; The task was beyond him. Oh! shame and disaster, He broke down in his charge, and she became master.
Exhausted and faint, still no rest could betide him, For she like a glutton soon mounted astride him, "From refreshment to labour," says she, "let us march. Says he, "You're exalted - you are now royal arch."
In her zeal for true knowledge, no labour, no shirking, His jewels and furniture constantly working, By night and by day, in the light or the dark, With pleasure her lover she guides to the mark.
# The Pearl/Volume 8/Temptation.

Papa and Mamma, Arabella and I, Were sitting at supper with nobody by; Now because they believe me a cozy old fellow, They want to induce me to wed Arabella.
I like the girl well, but I don't choose to wed, Fair Bella perceives I'm not easily led; But while Papa told me some prosy old fable, She was scratching her marrowbones under the table.
She look'd in my face, and on our eyes catching, I just turn'd my head to see what she was scratching; She had got her right ankle upon her left knee, Up to her left garter I fairly could see.
She look'd in my face without shame or aversion, While scratching her nakedness for my diversion; While I sat electrifyd stuck like a fool, She put down her petticoats easy and cool.
And ten minutes after she did it again, Though knowing I look'd and saw it quite plain; Come - there was a prank for a delicate virgin, Who thought an old bachelor wanting some urging!
# The Pearl/Volume 8/A Sensible Woman.

Mrs. Johnson, going into the cellar one day, caught her husband fucking the servant girl. A short time after, finding that Kate was packing her boxes to leave, she enquired the reason.
Kate.- "I couldn't think of stopping mum, after what you saw in the cellar."
Mrs. J.- "Go along girl, do you think I mind? Perhaps with what you do in the cellar, and I do upstairs, we may keep the old whoremonger at home between us."
# The New Student's Reference Work/Charles VII

See also Charles VII of France on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Charles VII, king of France, born Feb. 22, 1403, succeeded his father, Charles VI, in 1422, when all northern France was held by the English, who proclaimed Henry VI, of England king of France. The English, after some successes, laid siege to Orleans, the capture of which would wholly cut off the French from the north. At this time the famous Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans, by her wonderful courage and belief that she was sent by Heaven to deliver her country roused the courage of nobles and people. The siege was raised, the English retreated, and soon lost all they had gained in France. In 1437 Charles entered Paris and spent the remainder of his reign in restoring order and prosperity to France, after the great misfortunes the country had suffered. He died July 22, 1461.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Charles X

See also Charles X of France on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Charles X, king of France, the grandson of Louis XV, was born at Versailles, Oct. 9, 1757. He received the title Comte d' Artois, and in 1773 married Maria Theresa of Savoy. After the fall of the Bastille, in 1789, he headed the first emigration of nobles and took the lead in the attempts made to restore the monarchy. Under Louis XVIII Artois headed the royalist party, and by the death of that monarch became king under the title of Charles X. At first he was popular with all parties, but it was soon plain that he wished to make his rule as absolute as that of the old French monarchy. The people became discontented, and a struggle ensued with the chamber of deputies. On July 26, 1830, the king signed the five well-known ordinances, putting an end to the freedom of the press, making a new mode of election and dissolving the chamber that had just been elected. Paris at once took up arms. In three days the revolution was finished, Charles was driven from the capital, and Louis Philippe declared king. Charles lived the remainder of his life in exile. He died Nov. 6, 1836.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Charles XII

See also Charles XII of Sweden on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Charles XII, king of Sweden, was born June 27, 1682, the son of Charles XI. ​Ascending the throne when 15 years old, his boyishness tempted Denmark, Poland and Peter the Great of Russia to attack Sweden, at that time the great power of the north. Charles at once besieged Copenhagen and forced a peace. Next, with 8,000 Swedes, he attacked the camp of the Russians, 50,000 strong, and in the battle of Narva routed them with great slaughter. The king of Poland was now driven into the heart of Saxony, conquered and dethroned. In 1700 Charles invaded Russia with an army of 43,000, almost captured the czar and won several battles. But here, trusting to the promises of the Cossack, Mazeppa, the Swede turned southward to meet him. Mazeppa and his troop failed to come up. His reinforcements cut off, he was forced to winter in a hostile and barren country, losing half his army; and though in the spring he marched at once on Peter, he was defeated. With a handful of attendants he fled across the Turkish border, but instead of gaining the sultan as an ally, Russian spies spread such reports about him that he was arrested and imprisoned. In 1714 he escaped and made his way through Germany and Hungary in 16 days. But his love of fighting was only intensified by his misfortunes, and a project now entered his head that promised fighting enough. This was to make peace with Peter, conquer Norway, next land in Scotland and replace the house of Stuart on the English throne. When at peace with the czar, he burst into Norway, and early in 1718, while urging on siege-works in the dead of winter, he was killed by a musket-ball from the fortress. Charles was almost foolishly brave; his dress was simple, and he shared the coarsest food and the hardest labor with the common soldiers with a cheerfulness that won their devotion.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Charles V

See also Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Charles V, emperor of Germany, was born at Ghent in 1500. From his father he inherited the Low Countries and from his mother Spain and Naples, together with the Spanish colonies In America. In 1516 he became joint-ruler of Spain with his mother Juana, and in 1519 he was made emperor of Germany. The history of western Europe for the next quarter of a century is largely made up of the rivalry of Charles and Francis I of France. The other powers Henry VIII of England and the different popes favored first one and then the other, which resulted in war between the monarchs during much of the era. Most of the fighting was done in Italy, where the possession of Milan was in dispute. First, Charles V drove the French out of Italy and besieged Marseilles. The next year Francis, in trying to recover Milan, was taken prisoner at the battle of Pavia and had to buy his freedom by giving up all he had been fighting for. Charles was now so successful that the Holy League, with the pope at its head, was formed against him. An army under Constable Bourbon sacked Rome and imprisoned the pope, Charles claiming to have nothing to do with it; but it left him master of Italy. But now trouble called him home to Spain. An insurrection had arisen, which he put down, and at the same time by his tact made himself popular throughout the country. In Germany he found himself opposed by the Protestants, who had formed in defense the League of Smalkald. Threatened by an invasion of the Turks, he was forced to agree to many of their demands. In 1535 he accomplished the most brilliant of all his exploits, the destruction of the power of the great corsair, Barbarossa, and the capture of Tunis. A later expedition to put down the Algerian pirates was badly wrecked, and Charles himself had great trouble in reaching the coast of Spain. By two more wars with France, when Francis went so far as to call on the Turks to help him, he triumphed over the French king. Two things he now wished to effect, but in both of which he failed, were to suppress the Protestant party in Germany and have his son Philip accepted as heir to the empire, and not merely to the throne of Spain. The young and brilliant Maurice of Saxony, by suddenly opposing Charles with a secretly gathered army when his own was scattered, obtained from him lawful recognition for the Protestants. The German princes declared in favor of Philip's brother Ferdinand as their next emperor. Baffled by his unruly German subjects, seeing no way to keep his empire from being divided at his death, the disappointed emperor resigned his throne in 1555. The three remaining years of his life (he died Sept 21, 1558) were spent in retirement in a Spanish monastery. Charles was in person slight, graceful in manner and popular with all classes of his subjects among the various peoples under his sway.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Charles the Bold

See also Charles the Bold on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Charles the Bold (Duke of Burgundy), son of Philip the Good of Burgundy, was born Nov. 10, 1433. He succeeded his father as duke in 1467. He was the lifelong enemy of Louis XI of France. Joining with other great nobles in fighting for what they considered their rights as against the crown, their army threatened Paris and defeated the king. The province of Burgundy had once been a kingdom, and Charles now planned to restore it by conquering Lorraine, Switzerland and Provence. In this, however, he was not successful, being twice defeated by the Swiss. Finally, in a battle against the Duke of Lorraine, fighting with his usual courage and boldness, he was killed, Jan. 5, 1477. Richer and more powerful than any prince of his time, of great size and strength, his great ambition and reckless boldness combined to make him the most striking figure of the period.

​ Charleston, capital of West Virginia and county seat of Kanawha County, is situated on the Kanawha River at its junction with the Elk. The Kanawha has an excellent system of locks and dams, which afford facilities for shipping coal from the rich New River mines. Charleston is the center of trade for large coal and lumber interests. Its industries include woolen-mills, machine-shops, boiler-works, iron-foundries, steel-plants, dye-works, marble-works, wagon-shops, glass-works, furniture-factories and one of the largest axe-factories in the world. It has many fine public buildings, among which are the Capitol and Capitol Annex, Court-House, Y. M. C. A. building, modern and well-equipped houses and handsome churches. Population, 22,996.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Charleston (South Carolina)

See also Charleston, South Carolina on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Charleston, the chief city of South Carolina, was founded in 1670 as an English colony. It was captured by the British in 1780. The first ordinance of secession was passed here, and the reduction of Fort Sumter in its harbor was the first conflict of the Civil War. In 1861 nearly half of the city was burned to the ground, and it was in a state of siege during the last two years of the war. Then again, in 1886, a heavy earthquake visited the city and wrought $8,000,000 of damage.
Charleston is situated on a peninsula, formed by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, while a third river, the Wando, unites with the Cooper at the city. The estuary formed by these rivers makes a magnificent harbor. It is even regarded as the safest on the Atlantic coast.
Fort Moultrie, at Sullivan's Island on the eastern side of the harbor, is one of the best equipped defenses on the coast. It and the naval station at Charleston, which occupies a tract on Cooper River, have cost the government several millions.
Charleston's commerce was almost destroyed by the Civil War, but much of that which entered other channels has been recovered, and the terminal docks for two ocean-freight lines which were established in Charleston in 1901 have also increased the city's commercial prestige. Eleven manufactories are engaged in producing phosphate fertilisers, which is the leading industry; others of importance are tobacco, foundry and machine-shop products, oil and rice milling, bagging-factories, turpentine-casks and baskets for shipping vegetables and fruits.
Charleston has good public and parish school systems, and for higher education, the Charleston and Meninger High School, Academy of Our Lady of Mercy, Smith's school for young ladies, the South Carolina Military Academy, a state institution established in 1843, the state Medical College and many others.
The city has 60 churches and many charitable institutions. The buildings of note are the postoffice, built of Carolina granite, and the U. S. Custom-House erected of white marble. Population, 58,833.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Hughes, Thomas

See also Thomas Hughes on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Hughes, Thomas, was born at Uffington, Berks, England, Oct. 20, 1823. He was educated at Rugby, entered Oxford in 1841, and was called to the bar in 1848, becoming a member of the chancery bar. In 1856 he published Tom Brown's School Days, a life-like and truthful picture of school days at Rugby. This is a book which will never die, and is ​perhaps the best boy's book that was ever written. The chief characters are drawn from life. The book throws great light on the character of that greatest of teachers, Dr. Arnold. In 1858 came out The Scouring of the White Horse; in 1861 Tom Brown at Oxford; and in 1869 Alfred the Great. He was all the time practicing law, and became queen's counsel in 1869 and county court judge in 1882. He early became associated with Maurice and Kingsley in the work of social and health reform among the London poor. He also represented Frome in Parliament from 1868 to 1874. He gained the good will of the working classes by his endeavor to promote a better understanding between employers and their men. In 1880 Hughes assisted in founding a coöperative colony in the United States, describing it in his Rugby, Tennessee. To him Chicago owes the founding of its public library in 1871. He died at Brighton, Sussex, March 22, 1896.
# The New Student's Reference Work/I

See also I on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
I (eye), the ninth letter, is a vowel. Its original sound was.e in mete. The principal sounds are a long sound, as in pine, and a short one, as in pin. It also has the long and the short sound of e, as in machine and thirst. When it precedes another vowel, it is a consonantal y, as in Christian. The dot over I came in the 13th century. Originally I represented J too, J originating by lengthening I below the line. Until recently, even after J got into English dictionaries, words beginning with J were grouped with those beginning with I. The Romans used it as a numeral (1) as well as a letter.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Ibrahim Pasha

See also Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Ibrahim Pasha (ĭb-rȧ-hēm′ pä-shä), viceroy of Egypt and son of Mehemet Ali, was born at Kavala, Rumelia (in European Turkey), in 1789, and died at Cairo, Nov. 9, 1848. During his father's viceroyalty (1811-48) dead Egypt enjoyed a galvanic prosperity, which was in great measure imparted by Ibrahim's success as a general. The wild tribes of upper Egypt were overrun in 1812; the Wahabees and part of Arabia fell before him in 1816; and in 1820 Nubia and part of the Sudan were added to Egypt, and Egyptian troops fought in aid of the Turks against the Greeks from 1821 to 1828. His greatest exploit, however, was the conquest of Syria in one year, beginning with the victories of Tripoli and Horus. Pushing into Asia Minor, he routed a Turkish army at Koniya and found an open road between him and Constantinople. But the Powers now stepped forward, and Egypt was obliged to be content with Syria, which she had won by force of arms. War again breaking out in 1833, another splendid victory at Nisib would perhaps have given Mehemet Ali the throne of Constantinople, but the Powers again called a halt, and Ibrahim was even forced out of Syria, of which he had been governor since its conquest. Ibrahim ruled as viceroy, however, only during the last two months of his life, being called to the government because of the childishness of his father, in 1848. Ibrahim's son was the first khedive of Egypt. See Stanley Lane-Poole's Egypt.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Hydrophytes

See also Aquatic plant on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Hy′drophytes. The name literally means water-plants. The water conditions in which such plants grow range from complete submergence to swamps. Such plants have various adaptations for living in connection with a large amount of water. If the plant lives submerged, there is a feeble development of the tissues for mechanical support, and when it is removed from the water it collapses. Another common adaptation of water-plants, found also in swamp forms, is the development of conspicuous air-passages for aeration. Stalks of water-lilies, calladiums etc. easily show these large passageways. It is necessary for air to be brought into the plant and carried to parts which are too much shut off from air by water. In certain plants which float, bladder-like floats are provided, as in the common bladderworts. There are three conspicuous types of hydrophytes. The first type is made up of the “free floating societies,” that is, those in which the plants are entirely sustained by water and are free to move either by locomotion or water currents. To this group belong the ordinary pond societies, composed of algae, duckweeds etc., which float in stagnant or slow-moving water. The second type is made up of the “pondweed societies,” in which the plants are anchored, but their bodies are submerged or floating. Here belong the associations of seaweeds, among which there are often elaborate systems of holdfasts. Another conspicuous pondweed society is that which contains among its representatives the water lilies with their broad floating leaves and the pondweeds or pickerel weeds with entirely submerged leaves. The third type is made up of “swamp societies,” in which the plants are rooted in water or in soil rich in water, but the leaf-bearing stems rise above the surface. The conspicuous swamp societies are “reed swamps,” characterized by tall rushes, cat-tails and reed grasses, wand-like monocotyledons which usually form a fringe about shallow margins of small lakes and ponds; “swamp moors,” the ordinary swamps, bogs, marshes etc., which are covered by coarse grass; “swamp thickets,” in which there is a tangle of willows, alders etc.; “sphagnum moors,” in which the sphagnum moss prevails and is accompanied by numerous orchids, heaths etc.; “swamp forests,” in which the tamarack (larch), spruce, pine, hemlock and juniper are the prevailing trees.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Hydrotropism

See also Hydrotropism on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Hydrotropism (hī̇-drŏt′rō̇-pĭz’m), the sensitiveness of a plant to the presence of moisture in greater amount on one side, to which it responds by so altering the rate of growth as to curve toward or away from the source of moisture. Thus the mycelium or nutritive part of fungi grows towards moisture; the reproductive parts generally away from it. In the higher plants this sensitiveness is shown most strikingly by roots. If roots of corn are growing straight downward by geotropism (which see), they will be deflected in a few hours toward a sheet of wet blotting paper hung near them. Growth is accelerated on the side where the air is drier, but is retarded on the moister side. As this is exactly the reverse of the direct influence of moisture, it is clear that the result must be an indirect one, due to irritability (which see).

​Hughes, James Laughlin, Canadian educator, was born on Feb. 20th, 1846, near Bowmanville, Ontario. He received a public school education, and began teaching at 18. In 1871 he became principal of the provincial model school at Toronto, and in 1874 he was appointed inspector of schools for Toronto, a position which he still holds. In 1883 the Ontario government sent him as its representative to St. Louis to investigate the kindergarten system of that city, and owing largely to his influence the kindergarten movement was started in Ontario. He has done much to improve methods of teaching and reading and encourage educational progress and reform in general.
