IX.
THE PENITENT ANOINTING CHRIST'S FEET.
There was a mournfulness in Angel eyes,
 That saw thee, Woman! bright in this world's train,
Moving to Pleasure's airy melodies,
 Thyself the Idol of the enchanted strain.
 But from thy Beauty's garland, brief and vain,
When one by one the rose-leaves had been torn,
 When thy heart's-core had quivered to the pain
Through every life-nerve sent by arrowy scorn;
When thou didst kneel to pour sweet odours forth
 On the Redeemer's feet, with many a sigh,
And showering tear-drop, of yet richer worth
 Than all those costly balms of Araby; Then was there joy, a song of joy in Heaven,
For thee, the child won back, the penitent forgiven!

THE SISTERS OF BETHANY AFTER THE DEATH OF LAZARUS.
One grief, one faith, O sisters of the Dead!
 Was in your bosoms—thou, whose steps, made fleet
By keen hope fluttering in the hearts which bled,
 Bore thee, as wings, the Lord of Life to greet;
 And thou, that duteous in thy still retreat
Didst wait his summons—then with reverent love
 Fall weeping at the blest Deliverer's feet,
Whom ev'n to heavenly tears thy woe could move.
And which to Him, the All-seeing and All-just,
Was loveliest, that quick zeal, or lowly trust?
 Oh! question not, and let no law be given
To those unveilings of its deepest shrine,
By the wrung spirit made in outward sign:

THE MEMORIAL OF MARY.
Thou hast thy record in the Monarch's ball;
 And on the waters of the far mid sea;
And where the mighty mountain-shadows fall,
 The Alpine hamlet keeps a thought of thee:
 Where'er, beneath some Oriental tree,
The Christian traveller rests,—where'er the child
 Looks upward from the English mother's knee,
With earnest eyes in wondering reverence mild,
There art thou known;—where'er the Book of Light
Bears hope and healing, there, beyond all blight,
 Is borne thy memory, and all praise above:
Oh! say what deed so lifted thy sweet name,
Mary! to that pure silent place of Fame?
 One lowly offering of exceeding Love.

VIII.
THE SONG OF THE VIRGIN.
Yes, as a sun-burst flushing mountain-snow,
 Fell the celestial touch of fire ere long
On the pale stillness of thy thoughtful brow,
 And thy calm spirit lightened into song.
 Unconsciously perchance, yet free and strong
Flowed the majestic joy of tuneful words,
 Which living harps the quires of Heaven among
Might well have linked with their divinest chords.
Full many a strain, borne far on glory's blast,
Shall leave, where once its haughty music pass'd,
 No more to memory than a reed's faint sigh;
While thine, O childlike Virgin! through all time
Shall send its fervent breath o'er every clime,
 Being of God, and therefore not to die.

II.
THE TRAVELLER'S EVENING SONG.
Father, guide me! Day declines,
Hollow winds are in the pines;
Darkly waves each giant-bough
O'er the sky's last crimson glow;
Hush'd is now the convent's bell,
Which erewhile with breezy swell
From the purple mountains bore
Greeting to the sunset-shore.
Now the sailor's vesper-hymn
Dies away.
Father! in the forest dim
Be my stay!
In the low and shivering thrill
Of the leaves, that late hung still;
In the dull and muffled tone
Of the sea-wave's distant moan;
In the deep tints of the sky,
There are signs of tempest nigh.
Ominous, with sullen sound,
Falls the closing dusk around.
Father! through the storm and shade
O'er the wild,
Oh! be Thou the lone one's aid—
Save thy child!
Many a swift and sounding plume
Homewards, through the boding gloom,
O'er my way hath flitted fast,
Since the farewell sunbeam pass'd
From the chestnut's ruddy bark,
And the pools, now low and dark,
Where the wakening night-winds sigh
Through the long reeds mournfully.
Homeward, homeward, all things haste—
God of might!
Shield the homeless midst the waste,
Be his light!
In his distant cradle-nest,
Now my babe is laid to rest;
Beautiful his slumber seems
With a glow of heavenly dreams,
Beautiful, o'er that bright sleep,
Hang soft eyes of fondness deep,
Where his mother bends to pray,
For the loved and far away.—
Father! guard that household bower,
Hear that prayer!
Back, through thine all-guiding power,
Lead me there!
Darker, wilder, grows the night—
Not a star sends quivering light
Through the massy arch of shade
By the stern old forest made. Thou! to whose unslumbering eyes
All my pathway open lies,
By thy Son, who knew distress
In the lonely wilderness,
Where no roof to that blest head
Shelter gave—
Father! through the time of dread,
Save, oh! save!

Signed by President Woodrow Wilson Saturday, November 24, 1917
U.S. Official Bulletin No. 175, p. 8, December 4, 1917
During the continuance of the present war no executive department or other Government establishment in Washington shall hereafter give or offer employment, directly or indirectly, conditionally or unconditionally, to any officer or employee in any part of the executive civil service without first obtaining the written consent of the head of the executive department or other Government establishment in which such person is then employed, together with the statement that such consent is based upon the conclusion after due consideration that the person can render better service for the Government in the place in which his employment is proposed: Provided, That this shall not be construed as applicable to enlistments or appointments in the military or naval forces of the United States.
This order is purely a war-emergency measure. In their effort to meet the additional burden of war work some of the executive departments and agencies have obtained clerks from other departments by offers of higher salaries. While it is not desired to place any obstruction in the way of deserved promotion, this practice has gone so far as to threaten disorganization in the clerical forces of some of the departments, with consequent loss of efficiency in the operations of the executive departments as a whole.

# Folk-lore of the Telugus/The Old Woman, the cock and the chafing dish

III.
THE OLD WOMAN, THE COCK AND THE CHAFING DISH.
In the village of Pennagarai, on the road from Conjeeveram to Wandiwash, there lived an old woman wlo had a chafing dish and a cock. Day after day at early morn, when the first streaks of light were visible, the cock would crow. All the villagers would then rise, procure fire at her house and go their ways. This state of affairs had run on for a long time, till the old dame took into her head that the day dawned because her cock crew. She observed that all the villagers cooked and ate after getting fire from her house, and she wanted to see how the day could dawn if she quitted the village, and how the villagers would manage to eat. So she went, unknown to anybody in the village, to a wood afar off with her cock and her chafing dish and sat down there. The next morrow, all the villagers arose, came as usual to the old woman's house, ​but not finding her there, thought she must have gone somewhere on some errand, fetched fire from some other quarter and performed each his respective duty. In the meantime the old woman fasted in the wood until dusk, when a villager passed by to some other place on a particular errand. She called to him and said:—"I was not in the village this morning, has it dawned there? Have the people procured fire? Have they all eaten?"
He laughed and said:—"Do you think that the whole world depends entirely on your cock and your dish ? Why do you sit fasting here? Get up and go home."
She heard him and was abashed, and renouncing the foolish vanity which had made her think that all the world existed through her, she lived happily.
# Folk-lore of the Telugus/The Lion and the Jackal

VI.
THE LION AND THE JACKAL.
In the Dandaka forest was a lion which was in the habit of attacking and consuming all the beasts thereof. To rid themselves from the constant fear in which they were kept on his approach, all the other animals proposed to supply the lion with an animal a day if it would not attack them any longer. This promise was agreed to, and kept up for some time. Some time after, it fell to the lot of a fox to be sent to the lion, who, by no means relishing the idea of being devoured, walked slowly along, thinking all the while of some plan by which to put an end to the lion and save his own life. The lion, not finding the animal at the proper moment, was very much enraged, and insisted upon an explanation of the delay. The fox rejoined:— "Sir, another fox was sent under my charge by all the animals of the forest as an offering for you, but on the road I met another lion, who took away your meal, and told me to tell you of it." ​ The lion ordered the fox to take him instantly to the place of his enemy. The cunning fox took the lion to the side of a well, and, saying that the other lion was in it, begged the lion to take him in his arms that he might also have a peep into the well. When the lion saw the reflection of himself in the waters with the fox in his arms, he instantly came to the conclusion that he was looking on his enemy; and having let the fox drop, made a furious leap into the well and immediately perished.
# Folk-lore of the Telugus/The Deaf Friend

IV.
THE DEAF FRIEND.
In a certain village there lived a merchant who had a deaf friend. The latter learning that the former was ill, went to enquire after him, and while going along the road, determined to hold the following conversation with his sick friend; "After the usual greeting, I will first ask, 'well, Sir, how do you feel yourself to-day'? He will reply, 'better,' and I shall rejoin, 'very good.' I will then make enquiries about his diet, and he will reply 'rice without salt,' and I shall rejoin, 'may it do you much service.' I shall then put the question, 'pray, who is your doctor' ? He will, of course, tell me that such and such a person is his doctor and I may safely add, may Grod assist him in the fulfilment of his work.' "
At length, having come to a resolve, he reached the house, and after the usual greetings seated himself near the patient and said:—
"My friend, how are you"? ​ To which the patient replied:—"I am very much troubled with a virulent attack of fever."
The deaf man, not understanding what he said, thought that he was answering according to the plan he had settled beforehand, and responded:—"Very good: I hope God will keep you so!"
The patient, who was already peevish with the disease, was made more so by this speech of his deaf companion. The latter next asked what his diet was, and was told that it was the dust of the earth!
"May it do you much good," said he! "and pray, my good friend, which doctor attends you"?
The sick merchant, boiling with wrath cried:—"Doctor? Death himself."
"Very well, may God speed his medicines!" said the deaf companion, and returned home.
# Folk-lore of the Telugus/The King and the Wrestler

II.
THE KING AND THE WRESTLER.
While King Nandana was wielding sway over Malabar a wrestler approached him and said that he had toiled hard and learnt the art of fencing and other similar arts, could fight with wild animals, and could even walk with a huge mountain on his head. But he had found no one, except the king, who could give him the wages due to his powers. He had come, therefore, to the king's presence to represent his grievances and earn a proper livelihood. The king heard him and thought that such a warrior would be serviceable to him, and engaged his services at a hundred pagodas a month.
There was a huge mountain near the city infested with wild beasts which were causing great havoc among the people. The king, therefore, sent for the wrestler and said:— "You declared, you know, that you could carry a mountain on your shoulders. A mountain ​there is in the neighbourhood, which is the cause of much suffering to the people. Take it away to a distant spot and return hither."
The wrestler promised obedience and on the next day at dawn, the king took him with his ministers, priest, and a retinue of soldiers to the vicinity of the mountain. The wrestler girded up his waistband, tied his turban and stood ready. The king saw him and asked him why he hesitated, and called upon him to take the mountain on his head and go.
The wrestler replied:— "Sir, I humbly gave you to understand that I could carry the mountain on my head, but I did not say that I could lift it up. Kindly command your soldiers, therefore, to tear the mountain up and place it on my head, and I will then carry it to whatever place you may command me."
# Folk-lore of the Telugus/The Crane and the Fish

XXXIV.
THE CRANE AND THE FISH.
Lake Vimalavati has been occupied from time immemorial by large numbers of fish. Once upon a time, a crane, which happened to pass by, conceived the idea of preying on them, and stood on the brink of the lake. But it saw the fish going away from it shaking with fear, and so it said:—"I very much regret your going away from me in the belief that birds of my order make you their prey, and that I would do the same. But I have not come here with such an object in view. I, following others of my kind, have killed a good many fish, and became a sinner, but I am now grown very old, and have renounced the world. I am come here to perform penance. Fear not any harm from me. You may roam anywhere you please."
The poor fish believed the wily words of the crane, especially as the crane did not interfere with them at all, though they approached it. ​After some time had thus elapsed, the crane appeared to be very much dejected and melancholy. The fish approached it, and asked it what the matter was. To which the crane replied:—"What shall I say? A twelve years' famine will very shortly visit the land. Not a drop of water will then remain in this lake. I am able to know this by second sight, and, as you are my close friends, I cannot resist the temptation of informing you, lest you die when the famine comes."
The fish were exceedingly joyed at the humane nature of the crane, and requested it to save them from the impending peril. The crane, thereupon, informed them, that there was a lake a few yards further off, which would never dry, and that it would be a very happy refuge for the fish. The latter requested the former to take them up and leave them there. The crane, thereupon, took them up one by one and left them in the sun on a mountain-top, and slowly devoured them.
Moral:—We should never, therefore, believe the words of our natural enemies.
