# Dedication (Songs of Labor)

I would the gift I offer here Might graces from thy favor take, And, seen through Friendship's atmosphere, On softened lines and coloring, wear The unaccustomed light of beauty, for thy sake.
Few leaves of Fancy's spring remain But what I have I give to thee, The o'er-sunned bloom of summer's plain, And paler flowers, the latter rain Calls from the westering slope of life's autumnal lea.
Above the fallen groves of green, Where youth's enchanted forest stood, Dry root and mossed trunk between, A sober after-growth is seen, As springs the pine where falls the gay-leafed maple wood!
Yet birds will sing, and breezes play Their leaf-harps in the sombre tree; And through the bleak and wintry day It keeps its steady green alway,-- So, even my after-thoughts may have a charm for thee.
Art's perfect forms no moral need, And beauty is its own excuse; But for the dull and flowerless weed Some healing virtue still must plead, And the rough ore must find its honors in its use.
So haply these, my simple lays Of homely toil, may serve to show The orchard bloom and tasselled maize That skirt and gladden duty's ways, The unsung beauty hid life's common things below.
Haply from them the toiler, bent Above his forge or plough, may gain, A manlier spirit of content, And feel that life is wisest spent Where the strong working hand makes strong the working brain.
The doom which to the guilty pair Without the walls of Eden came, Transforming sinless ease to care And rugged toil, no more shall bear The burden of old crime, or mark of primal shame.
A blessing now, a curse no more; Since He, whose name we breathe with awe, The coarse mechanic vesture wore, A poor man toiling with the poor, In labor, as in prayer, fulfilling the same law.

# Decree of Excommunication of Leo Tolstoy

February 22, 1901
[missing introduction about the Gates of Hell not prevailing against the holy Church]
In our days, God has permitted a new false teacher to appear - Count Leo Tolstoy. A writer well known to the world, Russian by birth, Orthodox by baptism and education, Count Tolstoy, under the seduction of his intellectual pride, has insolently risen against the Lord and His Christ and against His holy heritage, and has publicly, in the sight of all men, repudiated the Orthodox Mother Church, which reared and educated him, and has devoted his literary activity, and the talent given to him by God, to disseminating among the people teachings repugnant to Christ and the Church, and to destroying in the minds and hearts of men their national faith, the Orthodox faith, which has been confirmed by the universe, and in which our forefathers lived and were saved, and to which till now Holy Russia has held and in which it has been strong.
[missing list of offences]
Therefore the Church does not reckon him as its member, and cannot so reckon him, until he repents and resumes his communion with her. To this we bear witness to-day before the whole Church, for the confirmation of the faithful and the reproof of those who have gone astray, especially for the fresh reproof of Count Tolstoy himself. Many of those near to him, retaining their faith, reflect with sorrow that he, at the end of his days, remains without faith in God and in our Lord and Saviour, having rejected the blessings and prayers of the Church and all communion with her.
# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Acts

Acts. Acts are those parts of an opera or musical entertainment, the separations of which from each other form the first and grand division of the piece; divisions which, in tome respects are to the whole drama what the scenes of an act are to the whole of that act.
# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Acuteness

Acuteness. The opposite of gravity. There is no such thing as acuteness and gravity, absolutely so called ; they are only relations ; so that the same sounds may be either acute or grave, according to that other sound they refer or are compared to. The degrees of gravity and acuteness, in fact, make so many tones or tunes of voice or sound.. Acuteness, then, is that quality which constitutes the shrillness of any sound.
AD. (L.) At, to, he. ; as, ad libitum.
# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Adagio assai

Adagio assai. (I.) More slow, or very slow.
# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Adagio cantabile e sostenuto

# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Acumen

Acumen. (L.) A word used by the ancients in signification of the fullest or keenest sound of the voice.
# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Actor

Actor. Musical actors were primitively no more than singing men. The drama, in its origin, consisted of a simple chorus, who sang hymns and songs. An actor, musically speaking, is a singer whose profession it is to represent human nature by action, speech, and musical intonation.
# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Acute

Acute. Sharp; something piercing; a term applied to any sound that is sharp, or high, in respect to some other sound ; a tone which is sharp, shrill, and high ; in which sense the word stands opposed to grace. Sounds considered as acute, and grave, that is, in relation of gravity and acuteness, constitute what we call tune-the foundation of all harmony.
# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Adagio

Adagio, or ADA'O, formerly ADASIO. (I.) The word adagio signifies the second degree, from slow to quick ; and is generally applied to music, not only meant to be performed hi a slow time, but also with grace and embellishment. It is, likewise, frequently used substantively ; as when we say, "an adagio of Pergolese," "an adagio of Beethoven," &c. Adagio is applied to express tender and plaintive emotions. The Italian word denotes a degree or distinctness of time, the slowest of any except grave, and should be performed slowly and lei-surely. Ado. is an abbreviation of this term; a very slow degree of movement, demanding much taste and expression in the performance.
# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Adagio-adagio

Adagio-adagio. (I.) A double retardation of time, nearly as slow as grave, and twice as slow as adagio.

United States Supreme Court
356 U.S. 269
Dessalernos v. Savoretti
Argued: April 3, 1958. --- Decided: April 14, 1958
It was stipulated by the parties in the District Court that the sole question for decision is whether petitioner is entitled to have his application for suspension of deportation considered under § 244(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (66 Stat. 163, 214; 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a)(1), 8 U.S.C.A. § 1254(a)(1)). We hold that petitioner is so entitled. The judgment of the Court of Appeals (244 F.2d 178) is therefore vacated and the cause is remanded to the District Court with directions to enter an appropriate judgment declaring that petitioner is entitled to have his application for suspension of deportation considered by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service under § 244(a)(1).
So ordered.
Mr. Justice HARLAN, whom Mr. Justice CLARK joins, would dismiss the writ for lack of jurisdiction. In his view the record fails to disclose a justiciable case or controversy because (1) the undisturbed administrative finding that petitioner 'does not meet the requirement that his deportation (would) result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to himself,' establishes that petitioner is not entitled to suspension of deportation under either subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(5) of § 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952; and (2) the parties' stipulation in the District Court is ineffective to confer jurisdiction on this Court to decide the question sought to be presented. See Swift & Co. v. Hocking Valley R. Co., 243 U.S. 281, 289, 37 S.Ct. 287, 289, 61 L.Ed. 722; Aetna Life Ins. Co. of Hartford, Conn. v. Haworth, 300 U.S. 227, 240 241, 57 S.Ct. 461, 463-464, 81 L.Ed. 617. In holding on this record that subdivision (a)(1) governs petitioner's case the Court has, in his view, rendered what in effect is an advisory opinion.
Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER would join Mr. Justice HARLAN if he read the record to be as clear as the latter finds it to be. Being in sufficient doubt about the scope and meaning of the stipulation, he joins the Court's opinion. This leaves open, on the remand, the administrative determination of the issues under § 244(a)(1).

# Diamond Tolls

"Hello, girlee!" he repeated, turning to close the door. ... ... As he reached to the back of the other chair she drew her automatic pistol and fired. "Agrrah!" he grunted, and then with a cry he backed away, saying: "You've shot me! Damn you, you've shot me!" She stood surprised by what she had done. It was unbelievable, incredible. She had been attacked by a man, and she had driven him from her! She had not been obliged to flee from him! "Why, it was easy," she said to herself. "All I did was just—shoot!"
"Standing at the sweeps was a slender, blue-eyed girl ... the light and wind caused her to squint ever so little."

TYNDAREUS (Τυνδάρεως), the son of Perieres and Gorgophone, and a brother of Aphareus, Leucippus, Icarius, and Arete, (Apollod. i. 9. § 5) or according to others (Apollod. iii. 10. § 4), a son of Oebalus, by the nymph Bateia or by Gorgophone. (Paus. iii. 1. § 4.) Tyndareus, with Icarion, being expelled by his step-brother Hippocoon and his sons, he fled to Thestius in Aetolia, and assisted him in his wars against his neighbours. Others (Paus. l. c.) state that Icarion assisted Hippocoon, and, according to a Laconian tradition, Tyndareus went to Pellana in Laconia, and according to a Messenian tradition, he went to Aphareus in Messenia. (Paus. iii. l. § 4, 21. § 2.) In Aetolia he married Leda, the daughter of Thestius (Apollod. iii. 10. § 5; Eurip. Iph. Aul. 49), and afterwards he was restored to his kingdom of Sparta by Heracles. (Apollod. ii. 7. § 3, iii. 10. § 5; Paus. ii. 18. § 6; Diod. iv. 33.) By Leda, Tyndareus became the father of Timandra, Clytaemnestra and Philonoe. (Apollod. iii. 10. § 6; Hom. Od. xxiv. 199.) One night Leda was embraced both by Zeus and Tyndareus, and the result of this was the birth of Polydeuces and Helena, the children of Zeus, and of Castor and Clytaemnestra, the children of Tyndareus. (Hygin. Fab. 77; comp. Dioscuri; Helena; Clytaemnestra.) When Tyndareus saw that his beautiful daughter Helena was beleaguered by suitors, he began to be afraid, lest if one should be successful, the others should create disturbances, and, on the advice of Odysseus, he put them all to their oath, to protect the suitor that should be preferred by Helena, against any wrong that might be done to him. (Paus. iii. 20. § 9.) To reward Odysseus for this good advice, Tyndareus himself begged Icarius to give to Odysseus his daughter Penelope. (Apollod. iii. 10. § 9.) Tyndareus was believed to have built the temple of Athena Chalcioecus at Sparta. (Paus. iii. 17. § 3.) When Castor and Polydeuces had been received among the immortals, Tyndareus invited Menelaus to come to Sparta, and surrendered his kingdom to him. (Apollod. iii. 11. § 2.) His tomb was shown at Sparta as late as the time of Pausanias (iii. 17. § 4). [L. S.]

​COTTON, RIGHT REV. DR. GEORGE EDWARD LYNCH (1813–1866)
Bishop of Calcutta and Metropolitan of India and Ceylon : son of Captain T. Cotton : born Oct. 29, 1813, his father dying about the same time : educated at Westminster, and Trinity College, Cambridge : took his degree in 1836 as a Senior Optime in mathematics, and eighth in the Classical Tripos : appointed in 1837 by Dr. Arnold to a mastership at Rugby : became Fellow of Trinity : left Rugby in 1852 to become Head Master of Marl-borough College, where he effected numerous improvements : consecrated Bishop of Calcutta on May 13, 1858 : reached Calcutta that year. He acquired universal confidence and respect besides influence with the Government, so that he was able to do much for the Church of England and for Anglo-Indian education. He succeeded in establishing schools at the chief hill stations for the education of Anglo-Indian and Eurasian children, whose parents could not afford to send them to England. He maintained his position and principles as Bishop of the Church of England, while assisting missionary work and other Christian developments. His capacity as an administrator, organizer and educator was acknowledged. He made the long tours required by the size of his metropolitan charge and the paucity of Bishops. Returning from one of them, he was drowned at Kushtia on the Gorai River in Bengal, on Oct. 6, 1866, while re-embarking on a steamer. He lost his footing on a badly constructed platform, fell into the river and disappeared. His loss was regarded as a public calamity, which the Government officially announced.
