# Littell's Living Age/Volume 128/Issue 1653/Two Songs

* TWO SONGS.
* BY THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN."
* I. - THE BOAT OF MY LOVER.
* Gaelic Air – F'hir a bhata - "The Boat of my Lover."
* O Boat of my lover, go softly, go safely;
* O boat of my lover, that bears him from me!
* From the homes of the clachan, from the burn singing sweetly,
* From the loch and the mountain, that he'll never more see.
* O boat of my lover, go softly, go safely;
* Thou bearest my soul with thee over the tide.
* I said not a word, but my heart it was breaking,
* For life is so short, and the ocean so wide.
* O boat of my lover, go softly, go safely;
* Though the dear voice is silent, the kind hand is gone:
* But oh, love me, my lover! and I'll live till I find thee;
* Till our parting is over, and our dark days are done.
* II. - DEEP IN THE VALLEY.
* Welsh Air – "Waters of Elle."
* Deep in the valley, afar from every beholder,
* In the May morning my true love came to me:
* Silent we sate, her head upon my shoulder;
* Fondly we dreamed of the days about to be:
* Fondly we dreamed of the days so soon to be.
* Deep in the valley, the rain falls colder and colder:
* Safely she sleeps beneath the churchyard tree:
* Yet still I feel her head upon my shoulder,
* Yet still I dream of the days that could not be:
* Yet still I weep o'er the days that will not be.
* Good Words.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 128/Issue 1654/To M. A. T.

* TO M. A. T.
* We are bereft! O, lovely and beloved!
* God's angel was so swift we could not see
* His falling shadow on thy smiling face,
* Till from Love's clasping arms he lifted thee!
* Can this be thee, in this white hush of flowers,
* With greeting silence, as we weeping gaze?
* Are these the cordial hands we held in ours —
* Dear busy hands, that worked all kindly ways?
* We stand without. The door hath closed behind thee
* Into our Father's mansion, large and fair.
* Enter, brave heart, serene, unselfish spirit;
* Grief is for us, but rapture waits thee there.
* Annie F. Wildman
* Transcript.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 128/Issue 1654/Christmas

first appeared in the Spectator
* CHRISTMAS.
* Under green boughs our Christmas keeping,
* Bright berries fall, loved ones are sleeping,
* Dark shadows on our hearth come creeping;
* Christ bids us smile, but we are weeping.
* He bids us smile, because He soweth
* Our berries where His soft wind bloweth.
* He saith, "Each one a fair tree groweth;"
* We doubt, we hope: but our God knoweth.
* M. E. S.
* Spectator.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 128/Issue 1654/Dream of a Spelling-Bee

* DREAM OF A SPELLING-BEE
* Menageries where sleuth-hounds caracole.
* Where jaguar phalanx and phlegmatic gnu
* Fright ptarmigan and kestrels cheek by jowl
* With peewit and precocious cockatoo;
* Gaunt seneschals, in crotchety cockades.
* With seine-nets trawl for porpoise in lagoons;
* While scullions gauge erratic escapades
* Of madrepores in water-logged galleons:
* Flamboyant triptychs groined with gherkins green.
* In reckless fracas with coquettish bream,
* Ecstatic gurgoyles, with grotesque chagrin.
* Garnish the gruesome nightmare of my dream!
* Punch.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 128/Issue 1654/Miscellany

​New Aerial Machine — Experiments were made on the Great Lines, on the 15th inst., at Chatham, by order of the authorities, with the new aerial machine, the invention of Mr. Simmonds, the aeronaut. The experiments were made under the direction and in the presence of the Royal Engineer Committee, a large number of officers being upon the ground. The machine, should it answer, is intended to be used in the field in time of war, by means of which observations might be taken. It is a large affair, the covering being of French cambric, made waterproof by being coated with a solution of india-rubber, the framework being made of spans of wood about an inch and a quarter thick, and thin galvanized iron wire, and when in the air it assumes the shape of a parachute, on the covering becoming fully inflated. It is said that the advantage it has over a balloon is, that it requires no gas to inflate it, but then a good breeze is necessary to float it in the air, without which it is of but little use, as was proved by the experiments. The machine having been got ready, and a sand-bag being placed where the car would be, a number of Royal Engineers attempted to get it up by running with a rope, which was attached to the framework, the process being precisely similar to that employed by boys in flying kites. After one or two attempts, the machine went up, and after reaching a height of about one hundred feet, the ballast was not sufficient, and there was not enough wind to keep it in the air, consequently it fell to the ground, by the concussion some of the framework was broken, and the experiments were thus stopped. It is thought that with a good breeze the experiments would have been successful. The damages will be repaired, and some further experiments made next week.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 128/Issue 1654/The Forgotten Grave

* THE FORGOTTEN GRAVE.
* Out from the city's giant roar,
* You wandered through the open door;
* Paused at a little pail and spade
* Across a tiny hillock laid;
* Then noted on your dexter side
* Some moneyed mourner's "love or pride;"
* And so, beyond a hawthorn-tree,
* Showering its rain of rosy bloom
* Alike on low and lofty tomb,
* You came upon it - suddenly.
* How strange! The very grasses' growth
* Around it seemed forlorn and loath;
* The very ivy seemed to turn
* Askance that wreathed the neighbor urn.
* Sunk was the slab; the head declined,
* And left the rails a wreck behind.
* No name; you traced a "6," a "7,"
* Part of "affliction" and of "Heaven;"
* And then, - O Irony austere! -
* You read in letters sharp and clear,
* "Though lost to sight, to memory dear."
* Austin Dobson
* Good Words.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 128/Issue 1654/Hops

From The Gardener's Chronicle.
HOPS.
The history of the introduction of the hop into general use, as given in our ​public records, is by no means devoid of interest. It is stated that in the fourth year of King Henry VI. (1425-26) an information was laid against a person for putting into beer "an unwholesome weed called an hopp;" and that in the same reign Parliament was petitioned against "that wicked weed called hops." In the reign of Henry VIII. their use seems to have been fully established, although the brewer of the royal household was prohibited from using it in his ale. In the statute-book for 1552 the cultivation of hops is distinctly sanctioned; and in 1574 Reynolde Scot published a black-letter treatise, with woodcuts, expressly on the cultivation of hops, which is called "A Perfite Plat Forme of a Hoppe Garden." In 1603 English-grown hops were extensively used, as appears from an act of James I., and, although their use was petitioned against, and nominally condemned in the same reign, this prohibition was but little attended to. Another article which "the famous City of London" also petitioned against would be nowadays regarded as being even more indispensable than hops. Blith, in "The English Improver Improved" (published in 1653), says, "It is not many years since the famous City of London petitioned the Parliament of England against two nuisances, and these were Newcastle coals, in regard of their stench, etc., and hops, in regard they would spoil the taste of drink, and endanger the people." But from this time forward the general use of hops was thoroughly established. An act passed in the reign of Queen Anne inflicts a penalty of £20 upon all brewers who shall use any other bitter than hops in their malt liquors, and a similar enactment under George III. imposes a fine of £5 per cwt. upon those who shall adulterate hops by giving them scent or colour by drugs, while the cutting of hopbines growing in a plantation is made felony "without benefit of clergy." Although the chief use of the hop is that connected with our national beverage, it has been put to other purposes of some little importance. Cloth of considerable strength is made from the fibrous stems of the plant in Sweden, and the Society of Arts in 1791 awarded a premium to a Berkshire farmer who had succeeded in a similar manufacture. The attention of paper-makers has also been directed to this as to most other fibrous plants. The young shoots are sometimes cooked and eaten like asparagus, and are said to be very good; in Gerard's days these "buds or first sprouts" were used in salads, although that author regarded them as "more toothsome than nourishing."
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 128/Issue 1654/Lines on Leap-Year

* LINES ON LEAP-YEAR.
* Hark I hear a sound of croaking;
* Frogs, in one attempt at joking
* Joining all their voices, say,
* "This is leap-year. Jump away!
* "Leap, ye various deer and stags,
* Chamois, on Helvetian crags.
* Leap, ye goats, upon Welsh mountains,
* Leap, ye cataracts and fountains.
* "Leap, all monkeys and baboons
* Squirrels, 'possums, and raccoons,
* Antelopes, gazelles, and gnus,
* Catamounts and kangaroos.
* "Leopards, leap all you like fun,
* Lions, tigers, every one;
* Panthers, pumas, and jaguars.
* Leap — if but against your bars.
* "Horses, carrying men to hounds,
* Leap all intervening bounds.
* Fences, hedges, brooks, and dykes.
* Gates, and palings crowned with spikes.
* "Steed, careering in the race
* O'er the flat or steeple chase.
* Leap, without a baulk or check,
* Lest thy rider risk his neck.
* "Leap ye salmon, and ye trout.
* From the purling streams leap out;
* Leap, ye grasshoppers and fleas:
* Hop and skip, ye mites in cheese.
* "Yah, ye toads and tritons all,
* Newts and slow-worms, creep and crawl;
* Slug and snail and spider too —
* Leap-year's not the year for you!"
* Punch.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 133/Issue 1714/The Dead Violet

* THE DEAD VIOLET.
* Where is the hand that gathered it, the violet fresh and sweet,
* From its nest mid the dewy mosses that clothed the great oak's feet?
* Alas for the eager fingers!
* They handled the sword-hilt well;
* But they could not guard the bright young head
* That found a soldier's gory bed,
* When the vines were crushed 'neath the guardsmen's tread,
* And the night over Alma fell.
* Where is the smile that welcomed it with her gallant lover's vow,
* And placed it amid the golden braids that crowned her fair young brow?
* It is carved on the lips of marble
* Of the statue that marks her rest,
* As she lies alone in her maiden grave
* In the great cathedral's solemn nave,
* Where the organ's voice, like a rolling wave,
* Flows over her virgin breast.
* Leave the violet in the volume of the old romantic rhyme —
* Pale symbol of love that has passed away, dry pledge of a sweet old time!
* What would avail to place it
* Again in the soft green grass?
* The old oak, felled, mid the moss is flung;
* The tale is told and the song is sung;
* Let it moulder the mouldering pages among:
* So does youth, love, and spring-time pass.
* Tinsley's Magazine.S. K. Phillips.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 133/Issue 1715/April

* APRIL.
* O the wealth of pearly blossom! O the woodland's emerald gleam!
* O the welcome, welcome sunshine on the diamond-sparkling stream!
* O the carol from the hawthorn, and the trill from dazzling blue!
* O the glory of the spring-time, making all things bright and new!
* O the rosy eve's surrender
* To the Easter moonlight tender!
* O the early morning splendor,
* Fresh and fragrant, cool and clear,
* In the rising of the year!
* O the gladness of the children, after all the dismal days,
* In the freedom and the beauty, and the heart-rejoicing rays!
* Do we chill the gleeful spirits, check the pulses bounding fast,
* By the mournful doubt suggested, "Ah but, darling! will it last?"
* Though we know there may be tempests, and we know there will be showers,
* Yet we know they only hasten summer's richer crown of flowers.
* Blossom leads to golden fruitage, bursting bud to foliage soon,
* April's pleasant gleam shall strengthen to the glorious glow of June.
* April leads to merry May-time,
* With its ever-lengthening daytime;
* This again to joyous hay-time,
* When the harvest-home is near
* In the zenith of the year.
* So we only tell the children of the summer days in store,
* Of the treasures and the beauties that shall open more and more.
* So the silver carol rises, for the winter-tide is past!
* When the summer days are coming, need we ask if spring shall last?
* O the gladness of the spirit when the true and only light
* Pours in radiant resplendence, making all things new and bright!
* When the love of Jesus shineth in its overcoming power,
* And the secret sweet communion hallows every passing hour.
* O the calm and happy resting,
* Free from every fear molesting!
* O the Christ-victorious breasting
* Of the tempter's varied art,
* In the spring-time of the heart!
* O the fervor and the freedom after all the faithless days!
* O the ever-new thanksgiving, and the ever-flowing praise!
* Shall we tempt the gaze from Jesus, and a doubting shadow cast,
* Satan's own dark words suggesting by the whisper, "If it last?"
* Though we know there must be trials and there will be tears below,
* Yet we know his glorious purpose, and his promises we know.
* Only ask, "What saith the Master?" and believe his word alone,
* That "from glory unto glory" he will lead and change his own.
* Ever more and more bestowing,
* Love and joy in riper glowing,
* Faith increasing, graces growing -
* Such his promises to you.
* He is faithful, he is true
* Each amen becomes an anthem, for we know he shall fulfil
* All the purpose of his goodness, all the splendor of his will.
* Only trust the living Saviour, only trust him all the way,
* And your spring-tide path shall brighten to the perfect summer day.
* Sunday Magazine.Frances Ridley Havergal.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 133/Issue 1715/Buried

* BURIED.
* We stand upon the churchyard sod and gaze
* Into the grave of our beloved dead;
* We hear the solemn words of prayer and praise;
* We mark the yew-trees waving overhead;
* We see the sunshine flicker on the grass -
* The green grass of the graves - and daisies white
* Adown the lane the village children pass,
* And shyly pause to watch the holy rite.
* Deep in the earth upon the coffin-lid,
* Lies the last gift despairing love could make,
* White, scented blossoms, that must soon be hid
* With all we loved, from eyes and hearts that ache.
* Love, strong as life, was powerless to save;
* We can but strew fresh flowers upon the grave.
* Yet in this grave, tear-moistened and new-made,
* Where we must leave the happiness of years,
* May not a worthier sacrifice be laid
* Than even our fairest flowers or wildest tears?
* If we should bury with the pure white bloom,
* A cherished folly or a secret sin,
* It might make holier the silent tomb,.
* Deepen the peace the dead lies folded in.
* Oh, mute, cold grave! that doth receive our lost,
* And with our lost the offerings-of our love,
* Take these things also; we do count the cost,
* And God in heaven doth, looking down, approve.
* Sleep, darling, sleep; pray God that dies with thee
* Which might have parted us eternally!
* All The Year Round.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 133/Issue 1714/Post Hoc Exilium

* "POST HOC EXILIUM."
* After this exile: not while groping here
* In this low valley full of mists and chills,
* Waiting and watching till the day breaks clear
* Over the brow of the eternal hills —
* Mother, sweet dawn of that unsetting sun,
* Show us thy Jesus when the night is done!
* After this exile: when our toils are o'er,
* And we, poor laborers, homeward turn our feet;
* When we shall ache and work and weep no more,
* But know the rest the weary find so sweet,
* Mother of pity, merciful and blest,
* Show us thy Jesus in the "Land of Rest."
* After this exile: winter will be past,
* And the rain over, and the flowers appear,
* And we shall see in God's own light at last
* All we have sought for in the darkness here;
* Then, Mother, turn on us thy loving eyes,
* And show us Jesus — our eternal prize!
* Month.F. P.
# Latter Day Saints' Messenger and Advocate/Volume 1/Number 7/Comments and extract from "The Columbia Hive"

We extract the following from "the Columbia (S. C.) Hive," of March 14. To its truth or incredibility we say nothing—our readers are left to draw their own conclusion. It is a fact, which no reader will pretend to deny, that the Catholic church has cruelly tortured many of its dissenters, and we have no doubt, but that in a coming day, the innocent blood of thousands will be brought up as a charge against some of its former members.
It might be thought a novel thing that the Pope should undertake to introduce the inquisition into this Republic, and we have no doubt but there are many who are watching his moves with great vigilance, and the least show on his part, to enforce the Catholic faith will be noticed.
As much as our blood chills on the reflection that that church has persecuted those who were unwilling to be governed by its principles, we sincerely hope that no extravigant [extravagant] nor unfounded report may have influence over the public mind against our Catholic community.
We not only hope this, but we honestly pray, that our happy country may never be brought to bow to the mandates of no religious society whatever. The late shameful persecution against the church of the saints in Missouri, has taught us that others besides the Catholics, would, if they had the power exterminate all who refuse to worship the same way!
Inquisition in the United States.—The Protestant Vindicator, a very respectable religious paper, printed at Baltimore, Maryland, states that large excavations have lately been made under the Catholic Cathedral of that city, in which dungeons are constructed for the confinement and punishment of those of the catholic faith, who may denounce or renounce that religion.—It is also stated, on the authority of the same paper, that John England, present Bishop of Charleston, (S. C.) has received from the pope of Rome an appointment of "Inquisitor General of the United States of America!" which commission he now holds as a proper authority, with the addition of Legate and Nuncio of the pope. That a Roman Inquisition should have existence in this country, at this time, altho' necessarily unaccompanied by its usual train of cruelties and abominations, will we think, surprise most of our citizens who prefer to see it a land of liberty. Of the correctness of the Vindicator, singular as it may sound to the uninformed we entertain no doubt.— Poughkeepsie Eagle.
Some of our public prints are trying to "kick up a fuss" between the Protestants and Catholics. We have not yet learned when the Catholics violated the Constitution, and since the Protestants can no more than keep it honorably, we advise each party to —> READ IT! !
