# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/A Picture of New York Morals

A Picture of New York Morals.
Complaint having been made against one Sarah Sands for keeping a disorderly house in Eleventh street, Justice Wood issued a warrant, and Captain J. W. Hartt, of the seventeenth precinct, with a posse of officers, last night proceeded to arrest the inmates. The house has a spacious yard, decorated with flowers, and presents a fine external appearance. It has long borne the reputation of a house of assignation of the higher order.
The captain entered with his warrant, and made a clear sweep, arresting the keeper and every person on the premises, twenty-one in all. He was not a little surprised to find several members of the church to which he belongs, with whom he has long partaken the sacrament, as well as others whose reputation in the community has heretofore been regarded as irreproachable, among them.
The greatest consternation prevailed when these visitors suddenly found themselves in the hands of the officers of the law. They begged and pleaded with the greatest earnestness to be allowed to escape, offering every imaginable excuse for their presence. One man declared that if he were to be exposed, it would ruin his family and kill his wife, who was in feeble health at home. But the captain was inexorable, and allowed none to escape upon any plea.
There was soon a great fluttering among certain outside parties, who, for some reason known to themselves if not to others, took extraordinary interest in the affair, and used their utmost endeavor to get the parties clear. It is said that a man who figures largely in the affairs of our city, and whose voice is potent in the sacred precincts of Tammany, with one of Mayor Wood’s old police captains, took an active part in the proceedings, and pleaded the cause of the most prominent of the prisoners. It is even said that they went or sent some one after Justice Wood, to open the prison doors.
However this may be, Justice Wood made his appearance about 2 o’clock this morning, and the three or four for whom these men are said to have especially interested themselves were forthwith discharged, and allowed to go home to their families. Others appeared in behalf of unfortunate friends, and the Justice finally discharged all the men before going home, while the keeper and some of the girls were committed for examination.
Captain Hartt, in his return, says: ‘The scene that presented itself, on entering the house, almost beggared description. There were seen girls scarcely out of their teens, and men whose heads are beginning to whiten with the frosts of time, imploring to be saved from exposure for their families’ sake—a sad and melancholy commentary upon the morals of our city. The anguish and confusion of face exhibited by many were sufficient to move the stoutest heart, and formed an impressive lesson of the truth of the saying, “The way of the transgressor is hard.” ’
The parties arrested all gave fictitious names. Several were known to the officers as men of wealth and high social position.—N. Y. Evening Post.

Poetry.
For the Liberator. A Word to the Wise is Enough.
When partnership links the strong to the weak, How palsied the strong one’s arm! ‘You will ruin us both; sit quiet and wait:’ So he yields to the weak one’s alarm. A word to the wise.
Of the tyrant Mezentius, the wicked, the vile, And his cruelty, have ye ne’er read? How he linked the fresh and breathing life To the loathsome corpse of the dead? A word to the wise.
Did ye never read in those Eastern tales How Sinbad, the Sailor bold, Was bowed and bent by that vile old man, And half killed by his strangling fold? A word to the wise.
And the Babylonian despot’s dream Of the image on Dura’s plain, ‘Whose feet were iron and miry clay’— How they crumbled to dust again? A word to the wise.
Thus mixed with the miry clay of the South Are the iron New England States:— What chemist can these amalgamate? And what but disunion awaits? A word to the wise.

# The Libel

"The flowers have no scent, and the birds have no song,”  We read in the lesson before us, While carols enchanted came floating along,  And lifted our hearts in the chorus.
"The landscape is sombre, and dreary, and gray,  No colour its mantle adorning"; O'er carpets spread far in a golden array  We tramped it to school in the morning.
"The flowers have no scent," but the wattle we brought  From hill-sides and glens where we found it Was filling the room with its glory, we thought,  And wafting its sweetness around it.
And fragrant the greeting the eucalypts threw  From branches of amber and sorrel; While hard by the door a pittosporum grew-  We called it "The Japanese Laurel."
"The birds have no song," so they told us at school;  But sweet in our souls was the ringing Of notes soft and clear from the edge of the pool,  Where dainty gay thrushes were singing.
The magpie, the spink,* and the pretty blue wren,  The butcher-bird up in his eyrie, The trills! Oh, I wish I could hear you again,  My dear little Chocolate Wiree!
To the ears of a stranger our birds may lack song,  Our flowers have no scent for the alien; But we, who have rambled the gullies along  Bedecked in soft colours Australian,
We laugh them to scorn as we read the old phrase-  We've laughed, since, at many another- And bless in our hearts in a chorus of praise  The face of our happy young mother.

# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Acknowledgment

​Acknowledgment. We acknowledge our special indebtedness to the Bee for its prompt and generous compliance with our request to publish in its columns our reply to ‘Sigma,’ which was so unjustly excluded from the Transcript, without any reason given for its rejection. It will give us pleasure to reciprocate this kindness of the Bee, at any time.
The Transcript has not only refused to grant us a hearing in self-defence, but it will not permit the certificate of Messrs. E. F. Burnham and J. N. Buffum, in favor of Mr. Pillsbury, and in exposure of the base use which ‘Sigma’ made of their names, to appear in its columns! Editorial meanness surpassing this we have never known in our long acquaintance with the press.
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/A Wrong Imputation

A Wrong Imputation.
Portsmouth, (N. H.) Sept. 14, 1857.
Dear Garrison:
We noticed the article from the Tribune in The Liberator of last week, respecting the leasing of one of the rooms of the Tract Society building for a rum shop, by their Committee. We do not see the Tribune, but we are told by a friend of ours from New York, who does take it, that the statement was an error, and that it was corrected by the Tribune in a day or two after its insertion. The facts in the case, as we understand from our friend, are these:—The Committee of the Tract Society rented this room to a man engaged in the hat trade, with the understanding that he should not underlet it. Notwithstanding this, it appears that he did underlet it to this concern for the liquor traffic. As soon as this became known to the Committee, the necessary steps were taken for his removal, which was accomplished.
We know that you will agree with us that all errors should be corrected as early as possible, and as extensively as the errors were circulated.
Yours, truly, J—— N——.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Hero (priestess)

Edition of 1905. See also Hero and Leander on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
HE'RO (Lat., from Gk. Ἡρώ). A priestess of Aphrodite at Sestos. At a festival of Aphrodite she was seen and loved by Leander, a youth of Abydos. She returned his love, and received him in her tower on the Hellespont, which he swam nightly, being guided by her lamp. Venturing the passage on a stormy night, he was drowned and the body washed ashore at the tower, whence Hero at once cast herself that she might be united with her lover in death. The story developed in the romantic poetry of the Alexandrian period, and has come down to us in a work of Musæus and in Ovid. It is represented on some late works of art and on Roman coins of Abydos and Sestos. It is also the subject of poems by Marlowe and Schiller, and a drama, Des Meeres und der Liebe Wellen, by Grillparzer.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Hermann, Count of Wied

Edition of 1905. See also Hermann of Wied on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
HERMANN, Count of Wied (1477-1552). Archbishop and Elector of Cologne, born at Wied.
He was elected Archbishop of Cologne in 1515, and supported the claims of Charles V., whom he crowned at Aix-la-Chapelle in 1520. The next year, at the Diet of Worms, he strongly opposed heresy, and endeavored to have Luther declared an outlaw, in spite of the fact that he himself was striving to bring about a reform, though within the Church. In 1542 he became an advocate of the new teachings, and in consequence was outlawed by the Emperor and banned by the Pope. The Emperor then secured the election of Adolf of Schaumburg to the Archbishopric, and Hermann withdrew to his Earldom of Wied, where he died a few years later. Consult Varrentrapp, Hermann von Wied und sein Reformationsversuch in Köln (Leipzig, 1878).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Hermann, Gottfried

Edition of 1905. See also Johann Gottfried Jakob Hermann on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
HERMANN, Gottfried (1772-1848). A German philologist. He was born at Leipzig, November 28, 1772; studied there and at Jena, and was made in 1798 professor extraordinary of philosophy at Leipzig. In 1803 he was professor of eloquence, becoming in addition professor of poetry in 1809, and in this position he remained till his death, December 31, 1848. The first department which he began to cultivate on original principles was metre, of which he attempted to develop a philosophical theory from the categories of Kant; and on this subject he wrote, besides his Handbuch der Metrik (1798), several Latin treatises, among which his Epitome Doctrinæ Metricæ (1818) reached a third edition in 1852. Of wider importance, however, was the new method which he introduced into the treatment of Greek grammar. The principles of this method are not only explicitly developed in his De Emendenda Ratione Græcæ Grammaticæ (1801), but are practically illustrated in his numerous editions of the ancient classics. Hermann's power of dealing with chronological, topographical, and personal questions is shown in his Opuscula (7 vols., Leipzig, 1827-30), which also
contain some poems. Consult: Jahn, Gottfried Hermann, eine Gedächtnisrede (Leipzig, 1849); Köchly, Gottfried Hermann (Heidelberg, 1874); Bursian, Geschichte der klassischen Philologie in Deutschland (Munich, 1883).

# The Most Ancient Lives of Saint Patrick/The Life and Acts of St. Patrick/Chapter 48

How the Magician and his Garment were consumed, and Benignus and the Garment of St. Patrick preserved unhurt.
But the magician, loving darkness rather than light, and darkening himself in the delusions of his darkness, stubbornly persevered in his malice, and still contentiously affirmed that his wicked and perverse opinions excelled the doctrines of the saint. And the king feared that the works of the magician would be overturned, and he proposed a certain trial to be made between them: "Let your books be plunged into the water, and he whose writings are blotted or effaced, let his preaching be disbelieved; but he in whose writings no blemish shall be found, let his preaching be admitted and confirmed." And Patrick assented to this decision, but the magician refused; for he affirmed that Patrick worshipped the element of water for a god, inasmuch as he baptized with water in the name of his God. Then the king changed the trial, and appointed that each book should be cast into the fire, and that of him whose book should remain unhurt the doctrine should be received of all. And the saint accorded to this sentence, but the magician, distrusting himself, accorded not; for he said that Patrick worshipped, in their turn, now the fire, now the water, and that therefore he held propitious to him either element. And Patrick replied that he adored no element, but that he worshipped the Creator of all the elements. While, therefore, the dispute waxed high, and the people varied from the one side unto the other, the wisdom of the Lord inspiring them to distinguish the light of the true faith from the darkness of idolatry, and the soundness of holy doctrine from the vanity of magical delusion, a new trial by fire is sought out. Then with the agreement of all, and Patrick and the evil-doer consenting, in a new manner a new house is builded, whereof the one-half is made of wood which was green, the other of wood which was dry and eaten of worms; and the boy Benignus and the magician, each being bound hand and foot, are placed over against each other, the boy, arrayed in the magician's garment, is placed in the dry part of the building, and the magician, clothed in the robe of Saint Patrick, is placed in the green part, and the fire is put thereto. And behold an event marvellous and much unwonted! The fire, furiously raging, consumed the magician, even to ashes, with the green part of the building wherein he stood; and the robe of the saint wherewith he was clad was neither scorched nor soiled; but the blessed youth Benignus, standing in the dry part thereof, the fire touched not, yet reduced to a cinder the garment of the magician that wrapped him round. Behold, therefore, herein repeated the miracles which are recorded in the Holy Writ, as when the three youths were cast into the furnace, the fire burned only their bonds, and hurted not themselves; so destroyed it the magician, with the green part of the house, yet hurted not the vest of Patrick, and, leaving the boy with the dry part of the house uninjured, it consumed the garment of the evil-doer.
