# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Walbridge, Arthur Dewey

Edition of 1889.
​WALBRIDGE, Arthur Dewey, musical composer, b. in Gaines, Orleans co., N. Y., 10 April, 1843; d. in Rochester, N. Y., 14 Dec., 1872. After graduation at Princeton in 1867 he studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1871, and practised in Rochester. He was the author of the words and music of several popular songs, including “Now I lay me down to Sleep” (1866); “Sleeping where the Daisies grow” (1870); “Baby meets me on the Stairs” (1871); and college songs.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Waldseemüller, Martin

Edition of 1889.
​WALDSEEMÜLLER, Martin (valt'-zay-muel'-ler). German geographer, b. in Freiburg about 1470; d. after 1522. He published an “Introduction to Cosmography, with the Four Voyages of Americus Vespucius” (1507), in which he advocated the application of the name America to the New World.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Waldstein, Charles

Edition of 1889.
​WALDSTEIN, Charles, archæologist, b. in New York city, 30 March, 1856. He studied at Columbia in 1871-’3 and at the University of Heidelberg in 1873-’5, where he received the degree of Ph. D. on completing his course. In 1876 he was at Leipsic, but in October of that year he went to London, where he studied in the British museum. He delivered a course of art lectures in the museum during that winter, then spent the greater part of the years 1878-’9 in Italy and Greece, and was present at the German excavation at Olympia. On his return to England in 1880 he delivered lectures in various places, becoming university lecturer in classical archaeology in Cambridge in that year. His influence was soon felt by the art students there, and in 1882 he was made “reader” in Greek art in the university (a new form of professorship). He turned his attention toward founding a new archæological school, and for its purposes a museum of art has been created in connection with the Fitzwilliam museum, of which latter institution he has since 1883 been a director. In 1888, while still holding his appointments in Cambridge, he was called to the directorship of the American school of archæology at Athens. His reputation has been gained chiefly by his discoveries, among which are that the so-called “Apollos” are simply athletes, the identification of a head found in the Louvre as the work of Pheidias, and that of a Hermes in Ephesian silver-work on a ​patera from Bernay in France. In April, 1883, he delivered a course of lectures before the Royal institute of Great Britain, and in 1886 he lectured at Columbia college, New York city. The honorary degrees of A. M. in 1882 and of L. H. D. in 1887 were conferred on him by Columbia, and those of A. M. in 1882 and Litt. D. in 1887 by Cambridge. Dr. Waldstein is one of the foreign editors of the “American Journal of Archæology,” and he has contributed on his specialties to journals on both sides of the Atlantic. He has also published “The Balance of Emotion and Intellect” (London, 1878) and “Essays on the Art of Pheidias” (1885).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Wales, James Albert

Edition of 1889.
​WALES, James Albert, caricaturist, b. in Clyde, Ohio, 30 Aug., 1852; d. in New York, 6 Dec., 1886. After leaving school, he apprenticed himself to a wood-engraver in Toledo, but soon afterward went to Cincinnati, and thence to Cleveland, where he drew cartoons for the “Leader” during the presidential canvass of 1872. After working for some time in Chicago and Cleveland, he went to New York in 1873, and two years later secured an engagement on an illustrated newspaper. Afterward he was employed on “Puck,” in which some of his best works appeared. In 1881 he went abroad, and after his return he became one of the founders of “The Judge,” and was for some time its chief cartoonist. He returned to “Puck” in 1885. Wales was the only prominent caricaturist of the newer school who was a native American. He was clever at portraiture, and produced some excellent cartoons.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Wakeley, Joseph B.

Edition of 1889.
​WAKELEY, Joseph B., clergyman, b. in Danbury, Conn., in 1804; d. in New York city, 27 April, 1876. At an early age he was apprenticed to a hat-manufacturer in his native town, but studied for the ministry, and was admitted to the Methodist Episcopal conference of New York in 1828. In 1857 he settled in Poughkeepsie, but he was subsequently appointed pastor of a church in Lexington avenue, New York. He was the author of “The Heroes of Methodism” (New York, 1856) and “Lost Chapters recovered from the Early History of American Methodism” (1858); edited “Reminiscences,” by the Rev. Henry Boehm, Bishop Asbury's travelling companion (1865); and also published “Anecdotes of the Wesleys,” with an introduction by John McClintock (1869).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Walden, John Morgan

Edition of 1889.
WALDEN, John Morgan, M. E. bishop, b. in Lebanon, Warren co., Ohio, 11 Feb., 1831. He was graduated at Farmers' (now Belmont) college, near Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1852, and engaged in educational work for two years and in editorial work for four years, during the last year and a half of which he was editor and publisher of a free-state paper in Kansas. He was also a member of the Topeka legislature, and of the Leavenworth constitutional convention at the time of its adoption of a constitution in 1858, under which he was elected superintendent of public instruction. In September of that year he left Kansas and entered, as a minister, the Cincinnati conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, where he occupied several important posts. After a few years he was elected corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's aid commission, an undenominational society. He remained in this office until August, 1866, when, on the organization of the Freedmen's aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church, he was chosen its first corresponding secretary, and he has been officially connected with it ever since, being its president at the present time. In 1868 he was elected one of the publishing agents of the Western Methodist book concern, and he held that post sixteen years. He was a member of every general conference from 1868 till 1884, when he was elected bishop. He is a man of great industry and capacity for business, giving attention to everything that is committed to his care.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Waldersee, Mary

Edition of 1889.
WALDERSEE, Mary, Countess von, b. in New York city, 3 Oct., 1837. She is the daughter of David Lee, a New York merchant, who left his widow and five children a large fortune. The second daughter, Blanche, married Augustus Charles Murray, a commander in the British navy, and the third, Josephine, married Baron August von Waechter, ambassador of the king of Würtemberg to the French court. The baroness sent for her youngest sister, Mary, to live with her in Paris, where she met and married Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg-Noër, who had been driven into exile by the Austro-Prussian army in 1864. Miss Lee, however, not wishing to be trammelled by the exacting etiquette that attaches to high rank, induced the prince to renounce his rights and titles as a member of the royal house of Denmark. He subsequently accepted from the emperor of Austria the title of Prince of Noër, the name of his principal estate. The prince died shortly after his marriage while on a visit to the Holy Land, 2 July, 1865, and the princess then returned to Paris, where she resided with the Baroness Waechter until the beginning of the Franco-Prussian war, when she accompanied the latter to Würtemberg. In 1871 she married Count von Waldersee, the successor of Field-Marshal von Moltke, and lived with him for some time at Hanover. There she soon became widely known through her interest in local charities. Since she has resided in Berlin she has been equally zealous in good works. She was for years the friend of Emperor Frederick William, of Germany, and of the Empress Victoria.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Walk-in-the-Water

Edition of 1889.
​WALK-IN-THE-WATER, or MY-EE-RAH, Indian chief, d. about 1817. He was a Huron of the Wyandot tribe, and at the beginning of the war of 1812 offered his services to Gen. William Hull; but they were declined, owing to the unwillingness of that officer to employ savages. He was afterward forced by circumstances to join the British at Malden, but he was instrumental in persuading several tribes to remain neutral, and in a council at that place he vindicated his course in a speech that was called by his enemies “American talk.” After this Walk-in-the-Water and his associates, openly breaking with Tecumseh and the Prophet, declined to remain with the British, and deserted from Gen. Henry Proctor at Chatham, Canada. At the battle of the Thames he offered his services, with those of sixty warriors, conditionally, to Gen. William Henry Harrison, who declined them, and the Indians returned to Detroit river.

# As thro' the Land

From The Princess: Canto I
As through the land at eve we went,   And plucked the ripened ears, We fell out, my wife and I, O we fell out I know not why,   And kissed again with tears. And blessings on the falling out   That all the more endears, When we fall out with those we love   And kiss again with tears! For when we came where lies the child   We lost in other years, There above the little grave, O there above the little grave,   We kissed again with tears.

Trust of the wicked, and the righteous compared by John Newton
    As parched in the barren sands
    Beneath a burning sky,
    The worthless bramble with'ring stands,
    And only grows to die.
    Such is the sinner's aweful case,
    Who makes the world his trust;
    And dares his confidence to place
    In vanity and dust.
    A secret curse destroys his root,
    And dries his moisture up;
    He lives awhile, but bears no fruit,
    Then dies without a hope.
    But happy he whose hopes depend
    Upon the LORD alone;
    The soul that trusts in such a friend,
    Can ne'er be overthrown.
    Though gourds should wither, cisterns break,
    And creature-comforts die;
    No change his solid hope can shake,
    Or stop his sure supply.
    So thrives and blooms the tree whose roots
    By constant streams are fed;
    Arrayed in green, and rich in fruits,
    It rears its branching head.
    It thrives, though rain should be denied,
    And drought around prevail;
    'Tis planted by a river's side
    Whose waters cannot fail.

Look unto me, and be ye saved by John Newton
    As the serpent raised by Moses
    Healed the burning serpent's bite;
    JESUS thus himself discloses
    To the wounded sinner's sight:
    Hear his gracious invitation,
    "I have life and peace to give,
    I have wrought out full salvation,
    Sinner, look to me and live.
    Pore upon your sins no longer,
    Well I know their mighty guilt;
    But my love than death is stronger,
    I my blood have freely spilt:
    Though your heart has long been hardened,
    Look on me--it soft shall grow;
    Past transgressions shall be pardoned,
    And I'll wash you white as snow.
    I have seen what you were doing,
    Though you little thought of me;
    You were madly bent on ruin,
    But I said--It shall not be:
    You had been for ever wretched,
    Had I not espoused your part;
    Now behold my arms outstretched
    To receive you to my heart.
    Well may shame, and joy, and wonder,
    All your inward passions move;
    I could crush thee with my thunder,
    But I speak to thee in love:
    See! your sins are all forgiven,
    I have paid the countless sum!
    Now my death has opened heaven,
    Thither you shall shortly come."
    Dearest Savior, we adore thee
    For thy precious life and death;
    Melt each stubborn heart before thee,
    Give us all the eye of faith:
    From the law's condemning sentence,
    To thy mercy we appeal;
    Thou alone canst give repentance,
    Thou alone our souls canst heal.

This was an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the district of Missouri.
The case is stated in the opinion of the court.
It was argued by Mr Bradley, for the appellants, and by Mr Lawrence, for the appellees.
The argument consisted, upon both sides, in the application of well-established principles of law to the facts in the case, as disclosed by the evidence. There being no principle of law disputed, it is not necessary to state the contradictory testimony which furnished the basis of the respective arguments.
