# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Livingstone, David

​Livingstone, David (1813-1873).—Missionary explorer, b. at Blantyre, Lanarkshire, spent the years between 10 and 24 as an operative in a cotton mill there. Becoming interested in foreign missions he qualified himself, and entering the service of the London Missionary Society, set out in 1846 to South Africa. He subsequently made journeys into the interior, which ultimately developed into his great pioneering and exploration expeditions, in which he discovered Lake Ngami 1849, and the river Zambesi 1851. In 1856 he visited England, pub. his Missionary Travels (1857), and retired from the service of the London Missionary Society. He was Consul at Cjuilimane 1858-64, and in 1858 commanded an expedition for exploring Eastern and Central Africa, in the course of which he discovered Lakes Shirwa and Nyassa 1859. Again visiting England he pub. his second book, The Zambesi and its Tributaries (1865). Returning to Africa he organised an expedition to the Nile basin, discovered Lake Bangweolo, explored the cannibal country, enduring terrible sufferings and dangers, from which he was rescued just in time by H. M. Stanley. His last journey was to discover the sources of the Nile, but it proved fatal, as he d. at a village in Ilala. His remains were brought home and buried in Westminster Abbey. L. was a man of indomitable courage, and of a simple nobility of character. His writings are plain, unadorned statements of his work and experiences. He ranks among the greatest explorers and philanthropists. The diary which he kept was pub. as Last Journals of David Livingstone in Central Africa (1874). His view of his duty in the circumstances in which he found himself was to be a pioneer opening up new ground, and leaving native agents to work it up.

A Tribute to Dixon Osburn
HON. BARNEY FRANK
OF MASSACHUSETTS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, May 10, 2007
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Madam Speaker, for 14 years, Dixon Osburn has been the Executive Director of the Service Members Legal Defense Network, an extremely effective and principled organization that has fought against the unfair discrimination against gay, lesbian and bisexual people in the U.S. armed services. It is hard to combine passion and common sense in a political cause--people who feel strongly often have an understandable difficulty in controlling their strong feelings to the point where they can follow the most rational strategies, and serving as the head of an organization exacerbates this, since the head of such a group is required to preach thoughtfulness to people who are--often justifiably--far too angry to want to think about things.
Dixon Osburn as Executive Director of SLDN performed this extremely difficult task very, very well. No one ever doubted the depth of his commitment to the cause of fairness for LGBT service members, and no one could fault the analytical discipline he brought to the job. I believe that we will some day in the near future abolish this unfair "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which discriminates against individuals and deprives our military of personnel who would perform useful services at a time when we need that. When we do reach that goal, the important work that Dixon Osburn has done over these past 14 years will deserve a great deal of the credit.

# A Tribute to Student Prince and The Fort - Congressional Record: October 26, 1995

A Tribute to Student Prince and The Fort. Congressional Record. October 26, 1995. Extensions of Remarks. Page E2052 . Cong. Rec. (Bound) - 104th Congress, First Session
A Tribute to Student Prince and The Fort ________ EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. RICHARD E. NEAL OF MASSACHUSETTS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. NEAL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute today to a Massachusetts institution celebrating its 60th anniversary, a restaurant with old world charm and atmosphere, the downtown Springfield landmark that features German food specialties known fondly as the Student Prince and the Fort.
Since 1935, the Student Prince has opened its doors for business each day for its fiercely loyal patrons. From its familiar Fort Street location, owner Rupprecht Scherff and his family have hosted a generation of satisfied customers who have made dining at the restaurant a continuing tradition. Known for its fine food and service, the Student Prince and the Fort has become a destination point for those accustomed to a good meal in good company.
With its signature stein collection, one of the largest and most interesting in the United States, the Student Prince offers its guests a unique dining experience. From the stained glass windows and original woodwork of the bar area, to the quaintness of the Heidelberg room, the restaurant evokes images of an earlier age. And whether you’re enjoying such traditional German fare as Sauerbraten or sipping a boot of Octoberfest, a visit to the Student Prince is always memorable.
Named after Sigmund Romberg’s lighthearted operetta of student life, the reputation and lore of the Student Prince and the Fort continues to grow. In September, Rupprecht Scherff celebrated his 81st birthday surrounded by family and friends all of whom look forward to the restaurant’s next 60 years.
Mr. Speaker, the face of downtown Springfield has changed dramatically in the last half century, but the Student Prince has thankfully remained the same. An enduring testament to excellence and tradition. On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I congratulate the Sherff family and the entire staff of the Student Prince and the Fort on their 60th anniversary. Ein prosit.

HON. TAMMY BALDWIN
OF WISCONSIN IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, May 16, 2007
Ms. BALDWIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to C. Dixon Osburn, who, as co-founder and Executive Director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), led the national movement to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" for the past fourteen years. Under his leadership, SLDN has moved our nation many miles closer to its goal of freedom to serve in our Nation's Armed Forces without regard to sexual orientation.
It has been my honor to work with Dixon for many years to improve the lives of lesbian, gay and bisexual service members. Our work is not done, but one day "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" will take its place among the relics of history and be replaced by a fairer, better policy that truly honors the patriotism of all Americans. And we will remember Dixon and the foundation he built with Servicemembers Legal Defense Network.
I wish Dixon all the best in his future endeavors, and I thank him for his significant contribution to improving our Nation's Armed Forces.

A TRIBUTE TO MR. AND MRS. JAMES ADAMS ON THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY
HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI
OF ILLINOIS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to two constituents who are an inspiration to all those who say "I do"-- James and Helen Adams.
Mr. and Mrs. Adams of Riverside, IL recently celebrated their 50th anniversary with a large party with dozens of their friends and family members.
However, the real celebration should be for a young sailor and his 20 year old fiance from Brookfield, IL who would not let even a world war from keeping them apart. With conflict still raging in the Pacific in June 1945, Jim Adams had planned to take advantage of a short leave to marry his sweetheart, Helen Jean Bennett. But, as is often the case in wartime, his leave was canceled and he was not able to get back home until December of that year, a few days before Christmas. Not only were there no churches available during the holidays for a wedding ceremony, there were no priests or preachers either. Finally, on New Year's Eve, a clergyman was found and the wedding took place in the bride's house.
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Adams on not only their 50th anniversary, but also their perseverance and devotion 50 years ago that prevented even a world war from keeping them apart.

A TRIBUTE TO ODUNDE
HON. ROBERT A. BRADY
Thursday, June 10, 1999
Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Odunde, Philadelphia's oldest and largest community-based festival, on the occasion of its 24th anniversary. The word Odunde originates from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, West Africa, and means Happy New Year. The festival is a recreation of traditional West African cultural festivals that celebrate the coming of another year through music, dance and prayer. Held in one of South Philadelphia's historically significant African American neighborhoods, Odunde attracts over 300,000 people annually and it has gained the reputation of being one of the largest African American street festivals in the United States.
Known for its authentic African marketplace with vendors selling a variety of artifacts, African clothing, educational materials and African, Caribbean and African American food, Odunde represents a tremendous economic opportunity for entrepreneurs.
Odunde is a vital cultural and educational experience that has become an important part of the Philadelphia experience. Odunde celebrates the rich cultural legacy of Africans of the diaspora and the experience enriches us all.

Lines to my Bull Dog.
On being advised to get rid of a very perfect specimen, then in my possession.
I love thee, "Rattler," for thine honest heart,
And 'gainst traducers, gladly take thy part;
Thou 'rt faithful, Rattler, no time-serving friend,
But lovest (once loving) truly to the end.
A change of fortune makes no change in thee,
Which 'mong our biped friends we often see.
Watchful as ever of thy master's weal,
Warm, too, as ever is the love you feel;
The worst thing 'gainst thee I have yet heard said,
Is, thou hast gotten a true Bulldog's head.
But tell them, Rattler, ere we two shall part,
They first must prove thou lack'st a bulldog's heart;
Till then, my canine friend, I'll love thee still,
Let a fastidious world say what it will.

Monody on Grace Darling.
'Twere impious to weep, the gentle maiden dead; Let not one tear of selfish love be shed, Nor dare repine that Providence denies A longer absence from her native skies. It was a mighty mission, which complete, Her happy spirit takes its well-earned seat At His right hand, who practises alone, A more extended mercy than her own. Happy thy lot, dear Grace, for whom it was decreed, To crowd a life of virtue into one immortal deed.
A very High-pressure Impromptu.
Dearest Miss Fenton, the Graces were bent on Surpassing all yet they had done,; So each lent her aid, in bedecking a maid, And, loveliest! thou art that one!
# A Selection of Original Songs, Scraps, Etc., by Ned Farmer/Impromptu

Impromptu.
On a young lady's expressing her intention of marrying a gentleman, who she herself confessed had few qualifications beyond the possession of four hundred and fifty pounds per annum.
Any young man good looking, whose income is clear The sum of four hundred and fifty a year, May address the fair Charlotte without any fear, But he must have four hundred and fifty a year.
She says, and methinks the assertion sounds queer, All depends on four hundred and fifty a year, That if a large family folks are to rear, It makes a hole in four hundred and fifty a year.
Says, few joys are by Providence granted us here, But grow out of four hundred and fifty a year, That connubial horizons at all times are clear, If backed by four hundred and fifty a year.
That the heart's warmest throb, or affection's fond tear, Are as naught to four hundred and fifty a year, Through the ocean of life no fond couple can steer, Save the freight is four hundred and fifty a year.
Now I rather imagine a woman's heart dear, That is bought by four hundred and fifty a year; Possessors of incomes, I pray you don't see her, Or God help your four hundred and fifty a year.
Yet, faith! I'll be candid, take courage—draw near, She's well worth four hundred and fifty a year; I love her myself, but I cannot tell where To get hold of four hundred and fifty a year.
So my chance is over, as things now appear, And all through four hundred and fifty a year! Still heaven await her; tho' mind you, up there They heed not four hundreds and fifties a year!

Gold! Mighty Gold!
Hurrah! for the most potent monarch on earth, Who hath reigned in his might since the hour of his birth, Whose standard is followed where'er 'tis unfurled, And whose empire extendeth all over the world. All, all, are his subjects, the young and the old, And the monarch I sing of, is gold! mighty gold!
The soldier, when fighting for honor and fame, Will strike yet the fiercer at sound of his name; While the love-smile of Woman, to all justly dear, Beams brighter by far, if the monarch draws near. E'en the heart of the miser, tho' flinty and cold, Will warm into rapture at sight of "King Gold."
Alike axe his vassals, the wise man and fool, Each bows and submits, with delight, to his rule; In his ranks, too, are number'd the slave and the free: Then say,—are there any as potent as he? Obey'd are his mandates in hot climes as cold, Then, hurrah! for the ruler of monarchs—King Gold!
Epitaph on a Drunkard.
Here lieth the body of one, who, for many years waged an unequal contest with the wine cup, until nature, (his best friend and backer,) seeing he only stood up to be punished, without a chance to win, kindly drew him.
The friends of a prosperous man, like the leaves of the summer tree, are many! Anon, the winter of misfortune comes, and lo! the leaves fall off!
# A Selection of Original Songs, Scraps, Etc., by Ned Farmer/Old Fashioned Times

Old Fashioned Times.
In old fashioned times, when the old fashioned folk, With their friends and relations around, Would welcome old Christmas with dance, song, and joke, And the fiddle's good old fashioned sound. The old panelled parlour was put in request, The holly and ivy were there, And neighbour met neighbour, decked out in their best, To partake of the old fashioned fare.
No cards were then printed, with formal invite, Nor pink scented paper, with some Expression of Mama's or Papa's delight; They asked you, and meant you to come. Then the old fashioned shake of the hand, which they gave, With the welcome that shone in their smile, And the honest "How are you? I hope you are brave," For that was the old fashioned style!
While the old fashioned country dance would enlist The young, to enjoy its delight, The old folks sat down to a rubber at whist, And so passed the old Christmas night. The mistletoe bough to the ceiling was hung, Old excuse for the innocent kiss, Nor Prudery's self would pronounce it as wrong On a joyous occasion like this.
Each house had its party, each party was gay, Good nature and cheerfulness lent Their aid to induce you to lengthen your stay, And regret only came when you went. Those, those were the times, let them talk as they may, When folks met to be happy and free!
'Tis a pity such customs should e'er pass away. However old fashioned they be!
A blackguard is a living syringe filled with dirty water, with which he ever and anon doth defile his betters.
