# Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State History/Arapahoe County

​Arapahoe County.—One of the first acts of the territorial legislature of 1855 created Arapahoe county—so named for the plains tribe of Indians—and defined the boundaries as follows: “Beginning at the northeast corner of New Mexico, running thence north to the south line of Nebraska and north line of Kansas; thence along said line to the east line of Utah territory; thence along said line between Utah and Kansas territories, to where said line strikes New Mexico; thence along the line between said New Mexico and the territory of Kansas to the place of beginning.”
All the territory embraced within these boundaries is now in the state of Colorado. By the act of creation Allen P. Tibbitts was appointed judge of the probate court of the county, the plan for holding court being left to his discretion, and Allen P. Tibbitts, Levi Mitchell and Jonathan Atwood were appointed commissioners to locate the county seat, which was to be known as Mountain City. One representative in the state legislature was apportioned to the county, which was attached to Marshall county for all business purposes.
In 1873 a second county of Arapahoe was created in the southwestern part of the state out of unorganized territory. Its boundaries were defined as follows: “Commencing at the intersection of the east line of range 31, west, with the north line of township 27, south; thence south along the range line to where it intersects the sixth standard parallel; thence west along the sixth standard parallel to the intersection with the east line of range 35, west; thence north along the range line to where it intersects the north line of township 27, south; thence east to the place of beginning.” In 1883 Arapahoe county disappeared, ​its territory being included in Finney and in 1887 Haskell county was created from that part of Finney which had been established as Arapahoe in 1873.
# Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State History/Arbor Day

​Arbor Day.—This day owes its origin to J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, late United States commissioner of agriculture, who in 1872 ​succeeded in inducing his state (then almost treeless) to set apart a day for the purpose of planting trees. Over a million were planted that year. In 1874 the same state planted over 12,000,000 trees, Gov. Robert W. Furnas, the governor at that time issuing a proclamation setting apart a day in April for the purpose. Nebraska, in 1885, enacted a law, designating April 22, the birthday of Mr. Morton, as Arbor day and making it a legal holiday. In Kansas the first recognition of the day was in 1875, when Thomas J. Anderson, then mayor of Topeka, issued the following proclamation:
ARBOR DAY.
PROCLAMATION BY THE MAYOR.
“At the sugggestion of many citizens who desire to see the capitol grounds made an ornament to the city, I hereby appoint Friday, April 23, 1875, as "Arbor Day," and request all citizens on that date to set out trees in the capitol grounds. On that day, it is hoped that each citizen interested, will repair to the grounds, between the hours of 2 p. m. and 5 p. m., and set out one tree. The secretary of state will point out the proper locations for the trees.
“Thos. J. Anderson, Mayor.”
The citizens of Topeka responded to the call and some 800 trees were planted. The next year the mayor of Topeka set apart April 18 as arbor day, on which occasion the residents of the capital city again gathered on the capitol grounds to replace such trees as had died during the previous twelve months, and to make such additions as they saw fit.
From this time on the cities, towns and villages of the state began observing the day in a more or less public manner, with the ultimate result, that many sections are now veritable forests, where a few short years ago they were treeless plains.
On April 4, 1883, Gov. George W. Glick issued a proclamation, setting apart April 25 to be observed as arbor day. This probably was the earliest official recognition given the day by the chief executive of Kansas, which custom has since been followed by succeeding governors.
Arbor day is now observed in nearly every state and territory in the Union, and in many places in Canada and in parts of Europe. The day is made a feature in the Kansas schools each year, when appropriate exercises are given in connection with the planting of trees and shrubs.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
FRAGMENTS BY L. E. L. Sixth Series.
Gleamings of poetry,—if I may give
That name of beauty, passion, and of grace,
To the wild thoughts that in a starlit hour,
In a pale twilight, or a rose-bud morn,
Glance o'er my spirit,—thoughts that are like light,
Or love, or hope, in their effects.
THE STAR.
Oh, there are sorrows like blighted leaves,
And cares like the web which the spider weaves,
And doubts and tears, that claim a part
For each pulse that throbs and maddens my heart;
Yet still there is one fresh Eden spot,
Where sorrows and doubts and cares come not.
Yes, love! tho' withered my heart may be,
It yet has a gentle place for Thee.
 I stood on a weary and wandering bark,
The heavens above in their midnight were dark,
And gloomily spread the mighty sea
In the depths of its drear immensity.
Yet amid the darkness one sweet star shone,
Like an angel of light, most lovely and lone;
And like that starbeam, I thought, to me
Is the influence sweet that has come from Thee.
 Yet felt I sad, as I watched that star,
And fed on its beauty, to think how far
It shone; yet I deemed there might come a day
When the spirit should mingle and melt with its ray.
It was like an omen; and I hoped, though now
Apart with no solace save one dear vow,
That the time might come when thy lover should be Where his heart and his soul are, beloved one! with Thee.

STANZAS. Is it not so?
It is a green and sunny place
 That silent tomb,
And over it, with summer grace,
 The wild flowers bloom;
And shadily that willow-tree
 Floats on the air;
But lift up the smooth sod, and see
 Its dark things bare:
A blackening corpse, a rank, cold smell,
 Discoloured bones;
And slimy earthworms are what dwell
 In the damp stones.
And look thus on the human face—
 Is it not fair?
Yet look within the heart, and trace
 Such foulness there.

ORIGINAL POETRY. STANZAS.
Race of the rainbow wing, the deep blue eye
Whose palace was the bosom of a flower;
Who rode upon the breathing of the rose;
Drank from the harebell; made the moon the queen
Of their gay revels; and whose trumpets were
The pink-veined honeysuckle; and who rode
Upon the summer butterfly: who slept
Lulled in the sweetness of the violet's leaves,—
Where are ye now? And ye of eastern tale,
With your bright palaces, your emerald halls;
Gardens whose fountains were of liquid gold;
Trees with their ruby fruit and silver leaves,—
Where are ye now?
Alas! alas! the times are fled
 Of magic gift or spell;
No Fairy aids true lovers now,
 Let them love ne'er so well.
In vain the moon, in vain the stars,
 Shine on the haunted ring;
In vain the glow-worm's lamp—it lights
 No elfin revelling.
And even from their eastern halls
 The mystic race of yore
Have fled; they build their palaces,
 Give their rich gifts no more.
Would some kind Spirit would arise,
 And lead me to the shrine
Where is Aladdin's lamp, and make
 The spell of power mine!
I would not bid its genii rear
 Their glorious hall again;
Oh, marble walls and jewelled throne
 Make but a gilded chain.
But I would have a little ship,
 In which I'd cross the sea;
How pleasant it would be, to sail
 In storm, or shine, with thee!
And we should hear the silver tides
 Make music to the moon,
And see the waters turned to gold
 Beneath the summer noon.
Then we would have an island made
 Of Summer and of Spring,
And every flower from east and west
 My Spirits there should bring.
The tulip should spring up beside
 The purple violet,
The carmalata's crimson bloom
 Round the pale primrose set.
The pine should grow beside the palm;
 And our sweet home should be
Where jasmine the green temple wreathed
 Of a Banana tree.
And there should be the Indian birds,
 With wings like their own sky;
And English songsters join with them
 The music of their sigh.
And we would have a fountain tuned
 As if a lute were there,
And yielding forth, in sound, the sweets
 Caught from the rose-filled air.
And there should be a coral cave
 Close by the ocean side,
Lighted with spar, and just a home
 For some young sea-god's bride.
Here we would pass the noon: each shell
 Upon the sea-beach thrown
Should send forth music, and each one
 Should have a differing tone.
And we would sometimes see the world—
 Just see enough to bless,
Amid its tumult, strife, and wrong,
 Our own calm happiness.
But this is very vain to dream
 Of what may never be;
I have enow or spells, when Love
 Has thrown his spell round me.
In truth, dear love! there's but one spell
 That has a thought of mine—
That of affection's gentlest charm,
 To make and keep me thine. L. E. L.
# Landon in The Literary Gazette 1824/Song 9

Literary Gazette, 3rd April, 1824, Page 219
Do any thing but doubt me, Love!
 I cannot bear a doubt from thee;
I wonder, loving as I do,
 That such a thing as doubt can be.
I love you! life and love are one—
 At least they seem but one to me:
I trace your voice, I trace your look,
 In all I hear, in all I see.
I have love's feelings—all, oh! all,
 Save that I never learnt to doubt—
Is doubting, then, your proof of love?
 Oh, surely love can live without.
And feeling thus, it seems so strange
 That you can doubt one vow of mine;
I pray thee, Dearest! only trust
 My faithfulness—as I trust thine. L. E. L.
# Landon in The Literary Gazette 1824/Stars

Literary Gazette, 30th October, 1824, Pages 701
ORIGINAL POETRY. THE STARS.
Last night I by my casement leant,
And looked on the bright firmament;
And marked a group of stars, which met,
Almost as if on purpose set
Together for their loveliness,—
As sisters round each other press.
I thought how fair they had seemed to me,
If I had gazed on them with thee:
Never do I so wish thee near,
As when somewhat of fair and dear
Is by me—when the night wind, sighing,
Amid a thousand flowers is dying;
When the young rosebud I have nurst, Opens its crimson beauty first;—
When the sweet bird that I have cherished,
Since so near in the snow it perished,
Pours to the violets of May
The music of its earliest lay;—
When I have paused upon some thought
Found in the minstrel page, and fraught
With Love's aroma—how my heart
Has treasured up for thee a part
In its rejoicing—pined for thee,
To share in its felicity.
 Alas! my spirit sinks to-night;
Oh, absence is as love's twilight!
When the eye sees, or thinks it sees,
In the grey boughs, the waving trees,
Ten thousand flitting shapes pass by,
Yet none perhaps reality:
And thus, in absence, will the lover
Ten thousand feverish shapes discover;
And not a care, and not a pain,
But fills the heart and racks the brain.
 Beautiful stars! in other days
The prophet's eye might read your rays;
And tell of many a strange event,
Of warfare, and of warning sent.
I would not wish to know the fate
Of purple crown or royal state.
The stars might show to other eyes
Their deep and mighty mysteries—
Enough for me to know them fair,
And read my lover's safety there.L. E. L.

THE SWAN.
I pass'd by a lake in its darkness:
 It was dark, for upon its breast,
In rolling clouds and in shadow,
 The face of the sky was imprest.
The air was thick and heavy,
 And the mist hung round like a blight,
And the boughs of the trees on the banks
 Closed round with the closing of night.
But amid the blackening waters
 Was one bright and beautiful thing,—
A swan, which, sailing in beauty,
 Spread ruffled each snow-white wing.
A sunbeam rested upon her
 From the only red cloud in the sky,
And a flush of crimson glory
 Lit the waves where that swan sailed by.
Then turned my heart, my beloved one!
 To sweet thoughts of thine and thee:
Such, in the hour of my darkness,
 Thy beauty has been unto me.
My white Swan, lovely and lonely,
 Brightening life's sullen tide,
Bland light and hope of the bosom
 Which had nor light nor hope beside!

ORIGINAL POETRY. STANZAS.
Is this the harp you used to wake,
 The harp of other days?
Or is it that another hand
 Amid its music strays?
No! the same harp to the same hand
 Yields up its melody—
The song, too, is the very same,
 Yet they are changed for me.
They are the same—but; oh! how changed
 Since last I heard their tone;
The change I vainly seek in them
 Is in my heart alone.
Nay, fling not back thy cloud of hair,
 Its roses are unbound:
See, Leila, see thy carelessness,
 They're scattered o'er the ground.
Yet, but an hour, when first the dew
 Fell from the twilight star,
How tenderly these flowers were culled,
 And now how crushed they are:
And must I in those roses read
 What my heart's fate will be?
That when the prize is once possest,
 How slight its worth to thee.
Oh, all in vain thy small snow hand
 Awakes its wildering strain:
Thy dark eyes breathe the soul of song,
 To me they turn in vain.
I heard thee wake the deep harp chords
 For other ears than mine,
I saw the light of thy soft eyes
 Upon another shine.
The heart must speak or ever words
 My depth of love can tell;
But eyes, hand, heart, must be all mine,
 Or else, farewell, farewell!
# Landon in The Literary Gazette 1824/Stanzas 5

Have the dreams of thy youth departed,
 While the bloom of thy youth remains?
Has the gilding worn off from thy pleasure,
 And left thee only the chains?
Thou art young, and the world is before thee;
 New pleasures will ride on the old;
'Tis too soon for thy brow to be clouded,
 Too soon for thy heart to be cold.
Has wealth been the dream that has vanished?
 Gold and silver have many a mine;
Plough the deep, seek the populous city,
 And the wealth of the East may be thine.
Has fame been the thing to allure thee?
 The blast which her trumpet has blown
To the name of another to-day,
 To-morrow may be thine own.
Hast thou listened the song of the charmer,
 Till pleasure has palled on thy soul?
Has thy race been the race of ambition,
 While others have reached the goal?
For all these still hope has a rainbow,
 A something remains to be done;
The wounds of thy heart may be healed—
 There's a cure for all sorrows but one.
But if, as thy pale brow confesses,
 That sorrow 'tis thine to endure,
Then go to thy grave in thy sadness—
 Love, betrayed, has no hope of a cure.
L. E. L.

THE DREAM.
Farewell! and yet how may I teach
 My heart to say Farewell to thee?
My first young love, the light, the hope,
 The breath, the soul of life to me!
I had last night a strange wild dream,
 The very emblem of my love,—
I saw a stately eagle's wing
 Become the refuge for a dove.
And for a while most tenderly
 The eagle cherished his guest;
And never had the dove a home
 Of happiness like that fond breast.
It was a sight for Love to see
 That haughty and that gentle bird,
Caressing and carest, so soft
 The mingling murmurs from them heard.
But troubled grew the eagle's crest,
 And stern and careless his dark eye,
And so, regardless of the dove,
 I marvelled that she did not fly:
Then sudden spread his mighty plumes,
 And flung the helpless dove away;
There on the ground, with broken wing,
 And soiled and bleeding breast, she lay.
Poor silly bird! if thou hadst flown
 Before, this fate had not been thine.
I wakened, and I thought how soon
 Such fall, such falsehood, might be mine.

Cold is the wind - the flowers below,
Fearful of winter's hand, lie curled;
But Spring will come again you know,
And glorify the world.
Dark is the night - no stars or moon;
But at its blackest, night is done,
All after hastens to the noon,
The triumph of the sun.
And life is sad, and love is brief. Be patient ; there will be, they say,
New life, divine beyond belief,
Somehow, somewhere, some day.

Justice STEVENS, dissenting.
For the first two reasons stated in Justice WHITE'S opinion, ante, at 541-545, I would affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals enforcing the Board's order. I agree with Justice WHITE that the Court's strict construction of NLRB v. Babcock & Wilcox Co., 351 U.S. 105, 76 S.Ct. 679, 100 L.Ed. 975 (1956), is not consistent with Hudgens v. NLRB, 424 U.S. 507, 96 S.Ct. 1029, 47 L.Ed.2d 196 (1976), and our other cases interpreting Babcock. I do not, however, join his opinion to the extent that it suggests that the Babcock case was incorrectly decided, ante, at 545-548. That decision rejected the Board's view that the rules applicable to union organizing draw no distinction between employees and nonemployees. I believe that central holding in Babcock was correct and is not inconsistent with the current law of deference to administrative agencies. Accordingly, I also respectfully dissent.
