AGRICULTURE.
The hero hath his fame,
'Tis blazon'd on his tomb,
But earth withholds her glad acclaim,
And frowns in silent gloom:
His footsteps on her breast
Were like the Simoom's blast,
And Death s dark ravages attest
Where'er the Conqueror past.
By him her harvests sank,
Her famish'd flocks were slain,
And from the fount where thousands drank
Came gushing blood like rain;
For him no requiem-sigh
From vale or grove shall swell,
But flowers exulting lift their eye,
Where the proud spoiler fell.
Look at yon peaceful bands
Who guide the glittering share,
The quiet labor of whose hands
Doth make Earth's bosom fair,
For them the rich perfume
From ripen'd fields doth flow,
They bid the desert rose to bloom,
The wild with plenty glow.
Ah! happier thus to prize
The humble, rural shade,
And like our Father in the skies
Blest Nature's work to aid,
Than famine and despair
Among mankind to spread,
And Earth our mother's curse to bear
Down to the silent dead.
DEATH OF BEDA.
"Though the last illness of this learned and venerable man was severe, he spent the evening of his death, in translating the Gospel of St. John into the Saxon language. When told by his amanuensis that there remained but one more chapter, he urged him to proceed rapidly, saying that he had no time to lose.
"'Master, there is now but one sentence wanting.'
"'Haste thee to write it.'
"'Master, it is done.'
"'Thou hast spoken truth—it is done. Take now my head between your hands, and move me, for it pleaseth me to sit over against the place where I was wont to pray, and where now sitting, I would yet invoke the Father.'
"Being seated according to his desire, on the floor of his cell, he said, 'Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.' And, pronouncing the last word, he expired."
Northumbrian breezes freshly blew
Around a cloistered pile,
And Tyne, high-swoln with vernal rains,
Was murmuring near the while;
And there, within his studious cell,
The man of mighty mind,
His cowled and venerable brow
With sickness pale, reclined.
Yet still, to give God's word a voice,
To bless the British Isles,
He labored, while inspiring faith
Sustained the toil with smiles;
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/Birth-day Verses to a Little Girl

BIRTH-DAY VERSES TO A LITTLE GIRL.
I do bethink me of a feeble babe,
To whom the gift of life did seem a toil
It trembled to take up, and of the care
That tireless nurtur'd her by night and day,
When it would seem as if the fainting breath
Must leave her bosom, and her fair blue eye
Sank 'neath its lids, like some crushed violet.
—Six winters came, and now that self-same babe
Wins with her needle, the appointed length
Of her light task, and learns with patient zeal
The daily lesson, tracing on her map
All climes and regions of the peopled earth.
With tiny hand, she guides the writer's quill,
To grave those lines through which the soul doth speak,
And pours in timid tones, the hymn at eve.
She from the pictur'd page, doth scan the tribes
That revel in the air, or cleave the flood,
Or roam the wild, delighting much to know
Their various natures, and their habits all,
From the huge elephant, to the small fly
That liveth but a day, yet in that day
Is happy, and outspreads a shining wing,
Exulting in the mighty Maker's care.
She weeps that man should barb the monarch-whale,
In his wild ocean-home, and wound the dove,
And snare the pigeon, hasting to its nest
To feed its young, and hunt the flying deer,
And find a pleasure in the pain he gives.
She tells the sweetly modulated tale
To her young brother, and devoutly cheers
At early morning, seated on his knee
Her hoary grandsire from the Book of God,
Who meekly happy in his fourscore years,
Mourns not the dimness gathering o'er his sight,
But with a saintly kindness, bows him down
To drink from her young lip, the lore he loves.
 Fond, gentle child, who like a flower that hastes
To burst its sheath, hath come so quickly forth,
A sweet companion, walking by my side,—
Thou, whom thy father loveth, and thy friends
Delight to praise, lift thy young heart to God,—
That whatsoe'er doth please him in thy life
He may perfect, and by his Spirit's power
Remove each germ of evil, that thy soul
When this brief discipline of time is o'er
May rise to praise him with an angel's song.

United States Supreme Court
197 U.S. 510
Whitaker v. McBride
Argued: January 18, 1905. --- Decided: April 10, 1905
This was an action commenced on June 27, 1898, in the district court of Buffalo county, Nebraska, and terminated by a decision of the supreme court of the state. 65 Neb. 137, 90 N. W. 966. The facts found by the district court are that McBride and Killgore were respectively the owners and in possession of tracts of land bordering on the Platte river, one on the north and the other on the south side thereof. Between these two tracts, and in the main channel of the Platte river, is an island, containing about 22 acres. This island had been in the possession of McBride and Killgore for more than ten years prior to the bringing of the action, but during that time they were contending as to how much of the land each was entitled to. It had never been surveyed by the government.
It appeared in evidence that Whitaker, in 1897, settled on the island, claiming the right to enter the same as a homestead; that application to the Land Department of the government to have the island surveyed was, in 1897, refused, the Department declining to take any action in the matter. These lands were a part of the Fort Kearney Military Reservation, which was surveyed and sold under a special act of Congress, dated July 21, 1876 (19 Stat. at L. 94, chap. 220), the patent to McBride, who had entered his tract as a homestead, bearing date March 28, 1885. There was testimony tending to show that the island was at the time of the survey of the reservation frequently covered with water, and that since then-perhaps owing to the construction of bridges and dykes overflows had been less frequent and the land better adapted to occupation and cultivation. The decree directed by the supreme court was adverse to Whitaker, and quieted the title to McBride and Killgore to the island, giving to each one half.

# Wood-Paper Company v. Heft/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
75 U.S. 333
Wood-Paper Company v. Heft
The case, as it now stands, is this: The complainants having purchased in the partents under which the suit was defended, own both sides of the subject-matter of this litigation; and, further, the owners of the Dixon patents having taken, in consideration for the sale, stock in the complainants' company, their interest has been transferred to the side of the complainants.
It is said, notwithstanding all these negotiations, exchanges, and transfers, the damages for the alleged infringement in the bill have not been compromised. But, before that question can be reached, as the bill was dismissed below, this court must hear and determine the question on the merits, whether or not the defences set up in the answer are sustained upon the proofs. If the court should determine they were not, then the question of damages would arise; if otherwise, not. Now, upon this question of merits, the complainants own both sides of the litigation, and control them; and, in the language of the Chief Justice, in the case of Lord v. Veazie, #fn-s-s 'the plaintiff and defendant have the same interest, and that interest adverse, and in conflict with the interest of third persons, whose rights would be seriously affected, if the question of law was dicided in the manner that both parties to this suit desire it to be.' And, for this reason, the case should not be heard by this court.
If anything further was necessary to show that the litigation is no longer a real one, even if the suit should proceed, and the question of damages be reached, there would be the same interest on both sides, Dixon, one of the defendants, since the sale of his patents, having a large interest on the side of the complainants, and, as defendant, would be subject to his payment of part, or the whole amount, of the damages recovered. Indeed, the weight of the proofs is, that he has bound himself to keep his co-defendants harmless.
The motion to dismiss the case, for the reasons above given, must be
GRANTED.

Bright House of Dreams, your galleries extend; Give larger place to Memory’s echoing halls. Let golden cords from silver rods depend, That I may hang more pictures on your walls.
What treasures have I gathered in the years Of pilgrimage among the quiet hills, No nobler work on Linton's walls appears; No fairer fancy Rossi’s studio fills.
All painted by the oldest masters too— Sir Sol, his rainbow palette in his hand; Luna, her silver pencil dipped in dew; August, most handsome of Dame Flora’s band.
Dawn, with his taper fingers rosy red; Evening, her royal shading unsurpassed. The vagrant seasons, painting as they sped, Vowing each master-piece to he their last.
These, and that super-craftsman, Cloud by name, Did in times past their genius record. Nature, the cunning dealer, knew their fame, And cleverly their costly works restored.
Room then, for these: and for more precious things, Bright House of Dreams, upon your mist-grey walls— Portraits more fair than all imaginings; Faces that smiled on me in Friendship’s halls.
So build a larger place for Memory. And though your shining door stands wide at night, Yet would I use by day Love’s jewelled key, And enter in, renewing my delight.

The Tree of Time his leafy boughs outspread; The migrant months, like birds had built their nests, And reared their broods of singing days that fled Too soon on flashing wings with gleaming breasts.
But some, their mournful wailings uttering, Were dull of feather and of languid flight; And, gloom to gloom, at last on weary wing They vanished o’er the hueless sea of night.
But best and brightest were the "mystery" days Of closely folded wing and sombre plume; Till, challenged by a wind from forest ways. Full laden with the scent of wattle-bloom,
The wakened birds an answering challenge cried— "Away! away!" they sang; and soared and wheeled;
While on expanded wing and flashing side Splendours of hidden colours shone revealed.
Such was the day that brought me once again To Wongan.—Birds and days are wondrous things. We know not what brown bird, what dawn of pain Hides red and gold beneath its folded wings.

# Woman of the Century/Maria Straub

​STRAUB, Miss Maria, song-writer, born in De Kalb county, Ind , 27th October, 1838. She was the sixth of eight children. Her parents, who were of German origin, were Pennsylvanians. The family were greatly diversified in religious belief, representing; the extremes as well as the more moderate views. The religious proclivity of Miss Straub is strongly indicated by the numerous hymns of hers sung in churches and Sabbath-schools throughout the land. Of a studious, quiet nature, a victim to bodily affliction, she early manifested fondness for reading and study. Unable, physically, to take a regular school course, and being ambitious to lose nothing, she planned her own curriculum and made up through home study, by the assistance of her friends, what she failed to get otherwise. During those years she caught the spirit of verse-making. Especially was she aided in her endeavors in self-culture by a tender mother, who granted her all the opportunity possible to make the most of herself. After her father's death she was engaged for some time in teaching country schools in the vicinity of her home. She gradually became associated with her brother, S. W. Straub, ​the musician, in music-book making. In 1873 she went to Chicago, Ill., where she became a member of her brother's family. There she took a place on the editorial staff of her brother's musical monthly, MARIA STRAUB. the "Song Friend," a place she still holds, besides contributing occasionally in prose and poetry to other periodicals. She is interested in current events and especially in reforms and philanthropies. Her love for the cause of temperance prompted the words of her and her brother's first published song, "Gird On, Gird On Your Sword of Trust," in 1868. Some of her happiest effusions were inspired by her love of country, as shown in the titles of two of her highly popular pieces: "Blessed is the Nation Whose God is the Lord," and "Wave, Columbia, Wave Thy Banner." These with many others of her secular poems have found musical expression in the various singing-books in use in homes and schools.
# Woman of the Century/Marie Louise Andrews

​MARIE LOUISE ANDREWS. ANDREWS, Mrs. Marie Louise, story writer and journalist, born in Bedford, Ind., 31st October, 1849. She was the second daughter of the late Dr. Benjamin and Louise A. Newland, who were educated and intellectual persons. Her early life was spent in Bedford. She was educated mainly in private schools. She was a student in St. Mary’s-of-the-Woods, in St. Agnes' Hall, Terre Haute Ind., and in Hungerford Institute, Adams, N. Y. The last-named institute was destroyed by fire shortly before commencement, so that Miss Newland was not formally graduated. She was married on 15th May, 1875, to Albert M. Andrews, of Seymour, Ind. In 1877 they removed to Connersville, Ind., where Mr. Andrews engaged in the drug business. They had one child, a son. Sirs. Adams died on 7th February, 1891, in Connersville, Ind. She was thoroughly educated. She spoke French and German and was familiar with Latin and the literature of the modern languages. Her literary tastes were displayed in her earliest years. She wrote much, in both verse and prose, but she never published her productions in book form. She was the originator of the Western Association of Writers, and served as its secretary from its organization until June, 1888, when she insisted on retiring from the office. Among her acquaintances were many of the prominent writers of the West, and at the annual conventions of the Western Association of Writers she was always a conspicuous member. She foresaw the growth of literature in the West, and her ideas of that growth and of the best means of fostering it are embodied in the organization which she founded. That association has already been the means of introducing scores of talented young writers to the public, and it alone is a worthy monument to Mrs. Andrews. She was a brilliant conversationalist and an effective impromptu speaker.
