# Woman of the Century/Amelia Kempshall Wing

​WING, Mrs. Amelia Kempshall, author and philanthropist, born in Rochester. N. Y., 31st May, 1837. She is the oldest of a family of eight children. Her father, the son of an English gentleman and a representative man, gave his children the best educational advantages of the time. Mrs. Wing was a student in the Wyoming Academy and in Ingham University. Although reared with a prospect of continued affluence, Tier earnestness of AMELIA KEMPSHALL WING. purpose was early shown, for, at the age of sixteen, during financial trouble, she, eager to feel herself in touch with the world, went to teach in a public school in Brooklyn, N. Y. At twenty years of age ​she became the wife of Frederick H. Wing, and in Newark, Ohio, began her wedded life. The stirring needs of the war were arousing the women into action, her capabilities were quickly recognized, and she was made secretary and treasurer of a local branch of the Sanitary Commission, in which position she did active service.

# Woman of the Century/Amelia M. Starkweather

​STARKWEATHER, Miss Amelia Minerva, educator and author, was born in Starkville, AMELIA MINERVA STARKWEATHER. town of Stark, Herkimer county, N. Y. At the age of four years she removed with her parents to Bergen, Genesee county, N. Y. She began her school career in the district school, and her advancement was rapid. While attending the Cary Collegiate Seminary, in Oakfield, N. Y., her love of poetry and poetic composition attracted the attention of the teachers and patrons of the school. She began to teach at the age of fifteen years, and gained a reputation for efficiency and faithfulness. Stricken with inflammation of the eyes, which left them in a weak state, she retired almost entirely from society for several years, pursuing with difficulty her vocation. Her first poem w as published in the "Progressive Batavian," and many poems have followed in various periodicals. After some years spent in successful teaching in New York, she removed to Pennsylvania and accepted a position in the primary department of the public schools of Titusville. There she found more leisure for literary pursuits, as well as time for Sunday-school and other Christian work, to which she was especially devoted. She was for seven years superintendent of a large Sunday-school. By her personal visitation and ​labor many poor children were sought out, clothed and taken to the school. The various literary entertainments which she prepared and presented to the public were models of their kind. During her residence in Titusville she entered the lecture field and was received with favor. She served efficiently the Home Missionary Society for three years as president, and was actively connected with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, being for some time county superintendent of juvenile work and other departments of Christian, benevolent and reformatory work. With all that work she continued to write, and a large number of hymns, poems for children, and short stories in prose came from her pen. A few years ago she published "Tom Tits and Other Bits," which has reached a second edition. Her hymns have been published in several Sunday-school and devotional books. She removed from Titusville several years ago to accept the superintendency of the Western New York Home for Friendless Children, and in that capacity, as well as in the position of financial agent of that institution, her labors were abundant and successful. She has long felt a drawing toward work more directly missionary in character. Yielding to her inclinations, she has entered upon the work of a deaconess in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her vacations have usually been spent in her cottage in Chautauqua. N. Y., which is her permanent home.

1823-1832, published 1834; lines 1-38 were published as Youth and Age 1828, 1829, and lines 39-49 as An Old Man's Sigh in 1832
Verse, a Breeze 'mid blossoms straying, Where HOPE clung feeding, like a bee-- Both were mine ! Life went a-maying  With NATURE, HOPE, and POESY,  When I was young ! When I was young ?--Ah, woful WHEN ! Ah ! for the Change 'twixt Now and Then ! This breathing House not built with hands, This body that does me grievous wrong, O'er æry Cliffs and glittering Sands, How lightly then it flashed along :-- Like those trim skiffs, unknown of yore, On winding lakes and rivers wide, That ask no aid of Sail or Oar, That fear no spite of Wind or Tide ! Nought cared this Body for wind or weather When YOUTH and I lived in't together.
 FLOWERS are lovely ; LOVE is flower-like ;  FRIENDSHIP is a sheltering tree ;  O ! the Joys, that came down shower-like,  Of FRIENDSHIP, LOVE, and LIBERTY,  Ere I was old ! Ere I was old ? Ah woful ERE, Which tells me, YOUTH'S no longer here ! O YOUTH ! for years so many and sweet, 'Tis known, that Thou and I were one, I'll think it but a fond conceit-- It cannot be that Thou art gone ! Thy Vesper-bell hath not yet toll'd :-- And thou wert aye a Masker bold ! What strange Disguise hast now put on, To make believe, that thou art gone ? I see these Locks in silvery slips, This drooping Gait, this altered Size : But SPRINGTIDE blossoms on thy Lips, And Tears take sunshine from thine eyes ! Life is but Thought : so think I will That YOUTH and I are House-mates still.
 Dew-drops are the gems of morning,  But the tears of mournful eve !  Where no hope is, life's a warning  That only serves to make us grieve,  [spacer][spacer]When we are old : That only serves to make us grieve With oft and tedious taking-leave, Like some poor nigh-related guest, That may not rudely be dismist ; Yet hath outstay'd his welcome while, And tells the jest without the smile.

Dance on, dance on, we see, we see Youth goes, alack, and with it glee, A boy the old man ne'er can be; Maternal thirty scarce can find The sweet sixteen long left behind; Old folks must toil, and scrape, and strain, That boys and girls may once again Be that for them they cannot be, But which it gives them joy to see, Youth goes and glee; but not in vain Young folks if only you remain.
Dance on, dance on, 'tis joy to see; The dry red leaves on winter's tree, Can feel the new sap rising free. On, on, young folks; so you survive, The dead themselves are still alive; The blood in dull parental veins Long numbed, a tingling life regains. Deep down in earth, the tough old root Is conscious still of flower and fruit. Spring goes and glee but were not vain: In you, young folks, they come again.
Dance on, dance on, we see, we feel; Wind, wind your waltzes, wind and wheel, Our senses too with music reel; Nor let your pairs neglect to fill The old ancestral scorned quadrille. Let hand the hand uplifted seek, And pleasure fly from cheek to cheek; Love too; but gently, nor astray, And yet, deluder, yet in play. Dance on; youth goes: but all's not vain, Young folks, if only you remain.
Dance on, dance on, 'tis joy to see; We once were nimble e'en as ye, And danced to give the oldest glee; O wherefore add, as we, you too, Once gone your prime cannot renew; You too, like us, at last shall stand To watch and not to join the band, Content some day (a far-off day) To your supplanters soft to say, Youth goes, but goes not all in vain, Young folks, so only you remain, Dance on, dance on, 'tis joy to see.

# Youth and Old Age

from The native poets of Maine (1854)
Old age came down the steep of years,  Beneath life's burden bending;  With tottering steps he feebly trod,  And breathing sighs and prayers to God,  He met with youth ascending.
 'Ah, whither dost thou bend thy course?'  Said he whose head was hoary---  'I go,' said youth, 'to yonder heighth,  Where through long vistas, glancing bright  Are Honor, Wealth, and Glory.
 'Be not deceived,' old age replied,  'In vain will be thy toiling;  I long have chased those beaming joys,  Oft grasp'd them, but the fleeting toys  Were from me still recoiling.'
 Youth raised his eyes and look'd ahead;  The prospect still was bright---  'I must go on, prevent me not,  For yonder is a sunny spot,  That promiseth delight.'
 With joyous bound, he onward went,  His eager course to keep,  And, hope still sparkling in his eyes,  Towards yonder sunny spot he flies,  And struggles up the steep.

United States Supreme Court
393 U.S. 186
Universal Interpretive Shuttle Corporation v. Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Commission
Argued: Oct. 21, 22, 1968. --- Decided: Nov 25, 1968
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, with whom Mr. Justice STEWART concurs, dissenting.
We have said over and again that we do not sit to review decisions on local law by District of Columbia courts where the reach of that law is confined to the District. District of Columbia v. Pace, 320 U.S. 698, 702, 64 S.Ct. 406, 408, 88 L.Ed. 408; Busby v. Electric Utilities Employees Union, 323 U.S. 72, 75, 65 S.Ct. 142, 144, 89 L.Ed. 78.
That law is not only peculiarly local; it is a compendium of a variety of laws drawn from numerous sources, with which the judges in the District are much more familiar than are we. No legal problem is more obviously peculiar to the District than the one posed by the present case. Traffic, including the movement of tourists, is a special concern of local government. The District Court held that the Secretary of the Interior, not WMATC, was the appropriate licensing authority. The Court of Appeals on a two-to-one vote reversed but did not file an opinion because 'the interests of the parties and of the public would be better served' by a prompt disposition of the case. The Court of Appeals by a two-to-one vote reversed denied a petition for rehearing.
The contrariety of views below suggests that this question of local law is not free from doubt. Certainly it is not a case where the decision is so palpably wrong as to make it the exceptional case for review by this Court. Nor is this question of local law so enmeshed with constitutional questions as to make appropriate its resolution here. See District of Columbia v. Little, 339 U.S. 1, 4, n. 1, 70 S.Ct. 468, 470, 94 L.Ed. 599; District of Columbia v. John R. Thompson Co., 346 U.S. 100, 73 S.Ct. 1007, 97 L.Ed. 1480.
These considerations make much more appropriate here than in Fisher v. United States, 328 U.S. 463, 476, 66 S.Ct. 1318, 1325, 90 L.Ed. 1382 (from which the quotation is taken), the following observation:
'Matters relating to law enforcement in the District are entrusted to the courts of the District. Our policy is not to interfere with the local rules of law which they fashion, save in exceptional situations where egregious error has been committed.
'Where the choice of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia in local matters between conflicting legal conclusions seems nicely balanced, we do not interfere.'
The present case could not be more precisely described.

# Zoological Illustrations Series II/Plate 7

African Black Cuckow. Cuculus nigricans.
CUCULUS nigricans.
African Black Cuckow.
Family Cuculidæ. Generic Character.—See Lesson. Man. 2. 119.
Specific Character.
Black glossed with blue; quills internally white, with blackish bands; tips of the lateral tail feathers whitish; bill and legs black.
The genus Cuculus, even as now restricted, contains a number of species, dispersed over the continents and islands of the Old World. In America they are not known: but the genus Coccyzus, which there represents the group, is one of those few which are common to both hemispheres.
The specific distinctions of birds having a uniform black plumage, is at all times difficult; and more so, when we attempt to identify them with the descriptions of authors. Of the black Cuckows of Africa, our bird comes nearest to the Coucou criard of Levaillant, (Ois. d'Af. pl. 204-5,) but differs in having the bill and feet black instead of yellow: it cannot be the Cuculus Indicus niger of Brisson, as that has the quills, internally, "tout à fait noir:" neither is it the black Indian Cuckow of Edwards, pl. 58, (Cuculus niger Lin.,) whose bill and feet are red. We were inclined to think that the second species of Buffon's Coukeels might be our bird, notwithstanding the difference of their locality; but Commerson's original description decides the question; his words are "Cuculus cristatus mindanensis cœruleo nigricans totus," (Buff. ed. Son. 54. p. 54.) Our bird has no crest. We have here consulted only original writers; for subsequent transcribers have so blended these birds under one name, that it is scarcely possible to disentangle their synonyms. M. Vieillot has increased the confusion, by transposing the specific names of Linnæus: the true C. niger, L. being his Orientalis (En. Meth. Orn. 1331).
Our bird was sent to us for examination by Mr. Ward. It is a genuine Cuckow: the nostrils being round, the third quill longest, and the second shorter than the fourth. It came from Western Africa.
Total length, 12½; bill, 1$^1$⁄$_{10}$; wings, 6¾; tail, 6½.
