# Letters of John Huss Written During His Exile and Imprisonment/Second series

SECOND SERIES.
The letters of this Second Series were all written in the nine months which elapsed between the departure of John Huss for the Council, in October 1414, and the last day of June 1415, which immediately preceded his execution. They form one of the most curious monuments of this celebrated period, and present an irrefragable testimony in favour of John, Huss against his judges. We perceive in the early ones, by the eagerness of the populations to flock to him on his passage, how great was already the authority of his name and doctrines in Germany. In reading those which come after, we are present at the grand scenes of the Council; and had we not the concluding ones before us, we should never perhaps know to what a degree this man, so intrepid and so firm in his faith before God and men, was to the end filled with gratitude towards his benefactors, torn with solicitude for ​his flock, full of love toward his friends, and actuated by feelings of mercy towards his persecutors.
The letters of this series were collected without order of date by Peter Maldoniewitz, and were so published by Luther. We have classified them with great care, some from the indications given by Huss himself, and the rest in the order of the events which they narrate. Some letters of Huss’s friends have been included in the collection, and add to the interest of this correspondence, at once so dramatic and so truly Christian.
# Letters of John Huss Written During His Exile and Imprisonment/Letter 8, To the inhabitants of Prague

LETTER VIII.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF PRAGUE.
May God be with you! I conjure you, dearly-beloved, to attach yourselves to the cause of the Lord; for several endeavour to stifle the word, and take away from you the Gospel of Christ, which I have preached unto you, in order to turn men from their salvation. Reflect, in the second place, on the slights and outrages which your nation inflicts on you;—which hypocrites wickedly excite against you; think of the infamies and insults heaped upon you; in a word, support all things with joy and patience.
​If Satan insults you, if Antichrist holds you in derision, he cannot harm you more than a dog tied-up, as long as you love the Word of God and defend it with all your power. Look at me! Satan has persecuted me for some years past, but he has not been able to do me any harm, because I trust in God. I will even say more, God strengthens in me every day joy and contentment. Remember also, that to deny a thing, is to abjure what one believes, be it the true faith or a heresy. If a man is a Christian, and if, through fear of death or persecution, and seduced by the wiles of the demon, he joins the sect of Jews and Pagans, and declares on oath that he does not wish to be a Christian, he denies the true faith. But if another has adopted a heresy; if, for example, he does not believe Jesus Christ to be God; if, in the end, he abjures this opinion, it cannot be said of him that he persists in his error. Acknowledging, therefore, how much he sins who denies the truth when he has once come to a knowledge of it, or who adheres to error or heresy, and esteeming more than all, the Word of God, let us celebrate his glory above all things, and live in charity with all men. Wrestle courageously against the imposture of Antichrist, having with you your Saviour, who strengthens you, and whom no one can vanquish. He will not forsake you, if you do not forsake him; but will bestow on all the faithful who believe in him, an ​eternal reward. I wrote these things, not being able to come to you in person—1415.
# Letters of John Huss Written During His Exile and Imprisonment/Letter 9, John Huss to a Priest, whom he reminds of his duties

LETTER IX.
[[[Author:Jan Hus|John Huss]] to a priest, whom he reminds of his duties.]
My very dear Brother,—Be zealous in preaching the Scriptures, fill the office of a good preacher of the Gospel, remember thy vocation, and work like a favoured soldier of Christ. Live, first of all, piously and purely; afterwards, teach faithfully and sincerely. Be unto others an example in every good work; leave nothing to be desired in thy discourses; recommend virtue, and bring back those who live wickedly to the remembrance of eternal punishment; point out the joys of heaven to those who live in faith and piety; preach assiduously but briefly; explain, lastly, the Holy Scriptures prudently and with profit. Take heed of affirming any thing uncertain and doubtful, for fear of being taken up by adversaries who delight to find their neighbour in fault, and bring contempt on God’s ministers; exhort to confession and to the Communion of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, under both forms, that those who sincerely repent of their sins may often communicate.
​I exhort thee, dear brother, not to frequent taverns or strangers, in order not to live like the common run of men; for the more the priest keeps aloof from public places, and dissipation, the more he is acceptable to God. Nevertheless, refuse not thine assistance to others, according to thy means. Preach with all thy might against voluptuousness; it is a wild beast that devours men, for whom the humanity of Christ has suffered. Wherefore, my dear friend, I conjure you to avoid all impurity; for even when thou shalt most endeavour to be useful, temptation will conceal itself, in order to lay hold of thee. Shun entirely the company of young women, and trust not to their devotion. Saint Augustin has said: “Quo religiosior, eo ad luxuriam proclivior, et sub prætextu religionis latet dolus aut venenum fornicationis.” Know, my dear friend, that their society has seduced many, whom the life of the age has not destroyed. Introduce not, under any pretext, women into thy dwelling, and do not hold too frequent intercourse with them; lastly, whatever thou doest, fear God, and keep his commandments, for so thou shalt be in the right path; thou shalt not perish, but shalt curb thy flesh, master the world, vanquish the demon, put on a divine spirit, find life, strengthen others, and place on thy own head a crown of glory, which shall be given thee, by the equitable and sovereign Dispenser of all justice.
# Letters of John Huss Written During His Exile and Imprisonment/Letter 9, To the Hearers of the Word of God at Prague

LETTER IX.
TO THE HEARERS OF THE WORD OF GOD AT PRAGUE.
I, Master John Huss, &c. &c, call on you, dearly beloved, not to allow yourselves to be disturbed on ​account of my absence, or on account of the maledictions with which the enemies of God overwhelm me. I have faith in my Saviour, and I feel confident that all things will happen, both to you and to me, for our good. Only beware of sin, and pity the fate of those who, believing that they are acting well, oppose God and his holy Word: like the Jews of old, who crucified Jesus Christ and stoned Stephen, and of whom both Christ and Stephen said, “They know not what they do.” They cannot hurt me, whether they prepare my cross with blasphemy; or overwhelm me, like another Judas, with abuse which they shout out in public; or, in fine, fling stones against the gate of the temple, and overthrow it. In doing such things, it is against themselves that they labour; and it is they who ought to tremble.
They have imagined certain practices of worship in conformity with human ordinances, in order to subject to their will men of simple minds, and induce such to follow them; but God will bestow on his believers the knowledge necessary to discern such practices, and to recognise in them mere human traditions, by means of which their inventions lead astray weak minds, separating them from the law of God, and crushing them to the earth, by terrifying them with the thunders of anathemas.
God enjoins to pray for such men as we believe to be in error, and to declare them condemned of God; but he has not ordered such snares to be laid in his temple ​against innocent men. Perhaps, to judge by their letters, they act in memory of the eternal damnation of Dathan and Abiram, who, unworthy as they were, had presumed to pretend to the priesthood.
They designate, by these letters, all the priests who improperly usurp the sacerdotal functions through love of riches, pleasure, dignities, or other gratifications of the flesh. They pour out anathemas, and vociferate like senseless disciples of Judas, as simonists and reprobates really are. Let us pray to God, dearly beloved, that he may deign to continue to us his blessings: no anathema will then be able to reach us, but the Sovereign Pontiff, Jesus Christ, will bless us, saying, “Come ye, blessed of my father, receive the kingdom which was prepared for you from the beginning of the world.”
Let us eagerly long for this blessing, dearly beloved; let us seek for it and await its coming, living piously in this world, in order to enjoy eternal life in the regions of heaven, by the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord, blessed for ever and ever.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 117/Issue 1516/Hymn for a Little Child

God make my life a little light,  Within the world to glow; A little flame that burneth bright,  Wherever I may go.
God make my life a little flower,  That giveth joy to all, Content to bloom in native bower,  Although its place be small.
God make my life a little song,  That comforteth the sad; That helpeth others to be strong,  And makes the singer glad.
God make my life a little staff  Whereon the weak may rest, That so what health and strength I have  May serve my neighbours best.
God make my life a little hymn  Of tenderness and praise; Of faith - that never waxeth dim,  In all his wondrous ways.

"Have other lovers, - say, my love, -  Loved thus before to-day?" - "They may have, yes they may, my love;  Not long ago they may."
"But though they worshipped thee, my love,  Thy maiden heart was free?" - "Don't ask too much of me, my love;  Don't ask too much of me."
"Yet now 'tis you and I, my love,  Love's wings no inure will fly?" "If Love could never die, my love,  Our love should never die."
"For shame! And is this so, my love,  And Love and I must go?" - "Indeed I do not know, my love;  My life, I do not know."
"You will, you must be true, my love,  Nor look and love anew!" – "I'll see what I can do, my love;  I'll see what I can do."
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 115/Issue 1489/Restoration of Bayeux Tapestry

In the course of the present year the South Kensington Museum has restored to the people of Bayeux the morsel missing from the celebrated tapestry preserved in that town. The thief was no other than the wife of Stothard the artist who went to Bayeux in 1830 in order to execute his well-known copy of the work in question. Mrs. Stothard profited by the courteous facilities granted to her husband for the purpose of his painting to cut with her scissors a piece about as big as a hand from one of the sides of the embroidered cloth. At the death of Mrs Stothard, some years back, the museum of South Kensington became possessed of the stolen piece, together with an account written by. Mr. Stothard, of the circumstances under which his wife committed the disgraceful theft. The directors of the South Kensington Museum, when sending over this summer some artists to photograph the tapestry, announced their coming in a letter containing the relic, which has been gratefully received, and found to agree thread for thread with the original.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 115/Issue 1489/Voices

I. THE VOICE OF THE DISCIPLE. One fate with Thee, my Master, I will share; Shame were it to rejoice where Thou didst weep; Where Thou didst wake, my Lord, I would not sleep,  Or faint where Thou didst bear.
Far off I follow Thee in spite of strife, Returning to Thee, though awhile I stray, In spite of thorns and briars in the way,  Still on the path to Life.
And not alone, because Thy presence fills My midnight darkness and my midday light; And so, though friend-bereft, I am not quite  Guideless upon the hills.
 II. THE VOICE OF THE BELOVED. My child, thou doest well to trust my love — Can any save thee if I let thee die? Has the world proved to thee more kind than I,  That thou shouldst doubt and rove?
The world gives tinsel, and I give thee gold; I cast not off my friend for being poor; Come, sad and desolate, unto my door,  Or totter even when old.
Who suffer here, hereafter reign with me, If only they trail not their spirit-wings, Or tire them, by pursuing earthly things,  For my eternity.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 115/Issue 1489/Paradise or Peacock Fish

The Brighton Aquarium has lately received two pair of beautiful specimens of the Paradise or Peacock fish. This fish came first from China, and has been acclimatized by M. Carbonnier, the great pisciculturist of Paris; they are very lovely little creatures. Some of their habits are singular: thus M. Carbonnier states that "as the eggs are laid the male carries them away in his mouth, and deposits them in a nest which he builds for them. He will not allow the female to come anywhere near the nest, and if she ventures to approach he swings himself round, and drives her away."
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 115/Issue 1489/The Lesson of the Leaf-Fall

I. Naught that is human dureth long:  And well the old-world poem ran —  "As fall the leaves, so falleth man." Yet who will heed that warning song?
 II. The ear, but not the heart, we ope,  When come those words to us addressed;  For still there burneth in the breast The oft delusive fire of Hope.
 III. Life's happy flowers resolved to tend  Through sunshine hours, presumptuous man  Formeth bold scheme and daring plan, Which never gain their purposed end.
We live as though there were no death —
Came ever down to stop the breath.
O fools and blind, to quite forget
Our very sun of life shall set!,
Then be life's lesson, from' life's goal,
Delight betimes, O man, thy soul.</poem>
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 117/Issue 1516/"Honour All Men"

Whom shall we honour? Kings on thrones all golden,  With crowns of orient pearls, and Tyrian robe, Heirs of the might of generations olden,  Stretching their sceptre over half the globe?
Whom shall we honour? Statesmen sage and hoary,  Wise to retain and wiser to reform, Stirred by no thirst but that of life's true glory, Bold pilots through the darkness and the storm?
Whom shall we honour? Poets chanting sweetly  The lays of might that thrill a nation's heart, High souls that do their Master's bidding meetly,  And on the mountain summits roam apart?
Nay, not these only: infants in their weakness,  Slaves in their galleys, prisoners in their cell; Young girls that shrink and quail in maiden meekness,  Sick, poor, unknowing; — honour these as well.
Calm let the voice be, kind as angel's greeting;  Gentle the words, as one who fears to pain; Reproach with pity, wrath with love still meeting,  Searching how best thy brother's soul to gain.
So spake true saints of God, and won men's favour;  So lived meek Paul, in pure and blameless guile; Now with clear joy, and now in accents graver,  Rousing each conscience, winning each to smile.
So, subtly truthful, courteous, calm and gentle,  Drawing all hearts with cords of trust and love, His true sons guarding with a love parental,  He moved, as bright stars through the darkness move.
So spake our Master, patient, meek, and lowly,  To way-worn travellers, Israel's wandering sheep; He the All-pure, receiving men unholy,  Sharing their joys, and weeping as they weep.
Yea, doubt it not; each soul deserves that honour;  We may count none as common or unclean; She beareth still the King's true stamp upon her;  Marred, half-effaced, His likeness still is seen.
Hushed be each word and thought of wrath and scorning;  Turn not away in weariness or pride; When the light dawns of life's eternal morning,  The poorest, frailest, may be at thy side.
Yes, honour all; but keep thy heart's best loving,  For those true brothers, children of thy God, On the same pathway, to the same goal moving,  The strait and narrow way our Master trod.
Love with a love that does not fail nor languish;  Enduring, zealous, hoping, helping all; Quick to console all sorrow, soothe all anguish,  Still burning brightly though the thick night fall.

United States Supreme Court

Maguire v. Tyler
IN error the Supreme Court of Missouri.
The controversy involved a question of ancient French proceedings, and of boundary near St. Louis; a good deal of the testimony being of an early kind. Except to persons already acquainted with the topography of the place where the controversy lay, and with the controversy itself, any attempt to state it would be unsuccessful without explanatory diagrams. The execution of these requires time and the reporter's personal supervision; and had the report been deferred till another volume, when his attention would not have been engaged in attending the court, they would have been given. A request, however, from a source entitled to great respect to present the opinion in this volume will account for their absence; a matter the less important since the case presents nothing which ministers to juridical science, or that is interesting except to parties concerned in the controversy. To such diagrams are unnecessary.

The cases were filed in different three-judge district courts and were consolidated for trial in the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. In an opinion written by Circuit Judge Bryan, 330 F.Supp. 1138, the consolidated court held parts of the legislative Act unconstitutional and invalid and proceeded to write a reapportionment measure changing the boundaries of approximately half of the House districts and staying the effectiveness of the Act insofar as the court's opinion had altered it.

In this cause, trial by jury was waived by agreement of the parties in writing, duly filed, and the case was tried by the court. But the record discloses no finding upon the facts, either general or special, in accordance with the statutes, (Rev. St. §§ 649, 700,) and no questions are therefore open to our revision as an appellate tribunal. As the circuit court had jurisdiction of the subject-matter and the parties, its judgment must be presumed to be right, and on that ground affirmed.

Lo, how a rose e'er blooming, From tender stem hath sprung. Of Jesse's lineage coming, As men of old have sung; It came, a flow'ret bright, Amid the cold of winter, When half spent was the night
Isaiah 'twas foretold it, The Rose I have in mind, With Mary we behold it, The virgin mother kind; To show God's love aright, She bore to men a Savior, When half spent was the night.
O Flower, whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air, Dispel with glorious splendour The darkness everywhere; True man, yet very God, From Sin and death now save us, And share our every load.
