# Littell's Living Age/Volume 173/Issue 2235/On the Belfry Tower

Originally published in Longman's Magazine.
"Look down the road. You see that mound Rise on the right, its grassy round Broken as by a scar?"
 We stood, Where every landscape-lover should, High on the gray old belfry's lead, Scored with rude names, and to the tread Waved like a sea. Below us spread Cool gravestones, watched by one great yew. To right were ricks; thatched roofs a few; Next came the rectory, with its lawn And nestling schoolhouse; next, withdrawn Beyond a maze of apple boughs, The long, low-latticed manor-house. The wide door showed an antlered hall: Then, over roof and chimney-stack, You caught the fish-pond at the back, The roses, and the old red wall. Behind, the Dorset ridges go With straggling, wind-clipped trees, and so The eye came down the slope to follow The white road winding in the hollow, Beside the mound of which he spoke.
"There," said the rector, "from the town The Roundheads rode across the down. Sir Miles — 'twas then Sir Miles's day — Was posted farther south, and lay Watching at Weymouth; but his son — Rupert by name — an only one, The veriest youth, it would appear, Scrambling about for jackdaws here, Spied them a league off. People say, Scorning the tedious turret-way, (Or else because the butler's care Had turned the key to keep him there), He slid down by the rain-pipe. Then, Arming the hinds and serving-men With half-pike and with harquebuss, Snatched from the wainscot's overplus, Himself in rusty steel-cap clad, With flapping ear-pieces, the lad Led them by stealth around the ridge, So flanked the others at a bridge. They were but six to half a score, And yet five crop-ears, if not more, Sleep in that hillock. Sad to tell, The boy, by some stray petronel, Or friend's or foe's — report is vague — Was killed; and then, for fear of plague, Buried within twelve hours or so.
"Such is the story. Shall we go? I have his portrait here below; Grave, olive-cheeked, a southern face. His mother, who was dead, had been Something, I think, about the queen, Long ere the days of that disgrace, Saddest our England yet has seen. Poor child! The last of all his race."

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 173/Issue 2235/To-morrow

Originally published in Chambers' Journal.
"We will gather flowers to-morrow,  When the mist of rain is o'er, When the air is warm and sunny,  And the tempest howls no more." But the flowers are parched and faded,  For the clouds have passed away, And we leave them still ungathered,  Though to-morrow is to-day.
"We will climb the hills to-morrow,  In the morning cool and bright: Who could scale these rugged mountains  In the noontide's scorching light?" But the snow-wreaths clothe the summits,  And the mists hang chill and gray, And we leave the slopes untrodden,  Though to-morrow is to-day.
"We will lend an ear to-morrow  To our fallen sisters' woes; We can scarcely hear their voices  While the music comes and goes." But along the thorny highway  Still with weary feet they stray, And we pass them by, unheeding,  Though to-morrow is to-day.
"We will leave our work to-morrow,  And with eager hands and strong, We will lead the little children  Far away from paths of wrong." But our hands grow old and feeble,  And the work goes on for aye, And the little children perish,  Though to-morrow is to-day.
"We will raise our eyes to-morrow  To the cross on Calvary's brow; At our feet the gold is sparkling,  So we cannot heed it now." But we clutch the glittering fragments,  'Mid the dust, and mire, and clay, And we cannot raise our eyelids,  Though to-morrow is to-day.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 173/Issue 2236/The Grain Trade

Originally published in Scientific American.
The Grain Trade - The Senate Committee on transportation routes to the seaboard has just completed a report, covering not only the subject of transportation, but giving in tabular form the progress of the various grain-producing countries. Thirty-three years ago America produced 100,000,000 bushels of wheat and about 600,000,000 bushels of corn. Twice in recent years we have reached 500,000,000 bushels of wheat, and in 1885 the corn crop reached 1,800,000,000 bushels, a fivefold increase in wheat, and a threefold increase in corn. In fifty-eight years wheat has added £520,000,000 to the value of our national production. The committee has tabulated the purchase of wheat by England for the two periods of 1836 to 1842 and 1843 to 1883. In the first period the United States furnished less than per cent.; while in the second period it supplied 54 per cent. As an importer to England, the United States is now first, with Russia second, and Germany third; but the rapid change in eleven years of British India from the thirteenth position to the fourth, is the most striking feature of the summary. In the next decade Germany will be practically out of the race, and it is more than probable that India will contest with the United States for the first position. In the prices of wheat for a series of years, in the principal countries of the world, India shows lowest, ranging from 3s. 10d. per bushel to 4s.; Russia next, from 4s. 2d. to 5s.; Australia ranks third. The average price of wheat at the principal grain port of England was exactly 6s.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 173/Issue 2235/How Thackerey Struck for Higher Pay

How Thackerey Struck for Higher Pay — The Charleston News publishes the following hitherto unpublished letter, “which,” it says, “was written to James Fraser, the proprietor of Fraser’s Magazine, and was copied by a Charleston lady who visited Europe this year, from the original in the collection belonging to Mr. Fraser’s sister, Mrs. Finlayson, of Dublin, Ireland:” “Boulogne, Monday, February. My dear Fraser, — I have seen the doctor, who has given me his commands about the hundredth number. I shall send him my share from Paris in a day or two, and hope I shall do a good deal in the diligence to-morrow. He reiterates his determination to write monthly for you, and to deliver over the proceeds to me. Will you, therefore, have the goodness to give the bearer a cheque (in my wife’s name) for the amount of his contributions for the two last months? Mrs. Thackeray will give you a receipt for the same. You have already Maginn’s authority. Now comes another, and not a very pleasant point, on which I must speak. I hereby give notice that I shall strike for wages. You pay more to others, I find, than to me; and so I intend to make some fresh conditions about Yellowplush. I shall write no more of that gentleman’s remarks except at the rate of twelve guineas a sheet, and with a drawing for each number in which his story appears — the drawing two guineas. Pray do not be angry at this decision on my part; it is simply a bargain, which it is my duty to make. Bad as he is, Mr. Yellowplush is the most popular contributor to your magazine, and ought to be paid accordingly; if he does not deserve more than the monthly nurse, or the Blue Friars, I am a Dutchman. I have been at work upon his adventures to-day, and will send them to you or not as you like, but in common regard for myself, I won’t work under prices. Well, I dare say you will be very indignant, and swear I am the most mercenary of individuals. Not so. But I am a better workman than most in your crew, and deserve a better price. You must not, I repeat, be angry, or because we differ as tradesmen break off our connection as friends. Believe me that, whether I write for you or not, I always shall be glad of your friendship and anxious to have your good opinion. I am ever, my dear Fraser (independent of £ s. d.), very truly yours, W. M. Thackeray. — Write me a line at Maurice’s, Rue de Rivoli. I can send off Y. P. twenty-four hours after I get yours, drawing and all. — James Fraser, 215 Regent Street.”
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 173/Issue 2236/Peace

Originally published in Spectator.
Winds and wild waves in headlong huge commotion  Scud, dark with tempest, o’er the Atlantic’s breast; While underneath, few fathoms deep in ocean,  Lie peace, and rest.
Storms in mid-air, the rack before them sweeping,  Hurry, and hiss, like furies hate-possessed; While over all white cloudlets pure are sleeping  In peace, in rest.
Heart, O wild heart! why in the storm-world ranging  Flit’st thou thus midway, passion’s slave and jest, When all so near above, below, unchanging,  Are heaven, and rest?

United States Supreme Court
362 U.S. 214
McGann v. United States
Argued: March 3, 1960. --- Decided: March 21, 1960
The writ of certiorari was improvidently granted and must be dismissed. When the case was brought here, on the meager documentation which so often is all that is presented by indigent prisoners seeking review on their own behalf, we assumed that a question involving the construction of 28 U.S.C. § 2255, 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255, called for adjudication. After argument, it became clear that the question of construction is not appropriately presented by the record because petitioner's claim upon the merits was fully considered and decided below, and we find his challenge of that action to be so insubstantial as not to have warranted bringing the case here.
Writ dismissed.

United States Supreme Court
292 U.S. 19
McGarrity v. Delaware River Bridge Commission
Argued: March 13, 1934. --- Decided: April 2, 1934
This action was brought to recover damages alleged to have been caused by a change in the grade of a street which prevented access to appellant's leasehold. The authority of the state commission which directed the change of grade was conferred by the state statute of July 9, 1919, P.L. 814 (36 PS Pa. § 3421 et seq.). The state court held that the damage in question was merely consequential, that the allowance of recovery therefor was a matter of legislative grace and not of right, and that the statute as invoked by appellant was invalid, as it did not conform to the requirements of the state Constitution. 311 Pa. 436, 166 A. 895. No federal question was raised prior to a petition for rehearing in the Supreme Court of the state, which was denied without more. Appellant insists that questions under the Fourteenth Amendment were thus raised at the first opportunity. The petition for rehearing does not appear in the record. Nor does the record contain the pleadings, the evidence, or any findings by the state court upon the questions of fact involved. Appellant relies upon statements in the opinion of the state court, but these fail to support appellant's contentions.
The appeal is dismissed for the want of a properly presented substantial federal question. Whitney v. California, 274 U.S. 357, 360, 362, 363, 47 S.Ct. 641, 71 L.Ed. 1095; Dewey v.

United States Supreme Court
65 U.S. 242
McEwen v. Den
THIS case was brought up by writ of error from the Circuit Court of the United States for the eastern district of Tennessee.
It was an ejectment brought under the circumstances stated in the opinion of the court, and was argued by Mr. Maynard and Mr. Heiskell for the plaintiffs in error, and Mr. Nelson for the defendants.
The principal question in the case was, whether the possession of the defendants below was upon the tract of land claimed by the plaintiffs, so as to constitute a bar to the action through the statute of limitations. Maps were produced in court, but so many tracts of land were laid down upon them, that it was difficult to decide the point. The arguments of counsel bearing upon it could not possibly be understood by the reader.
Mr. Justice CATRON delivered the opinion of the court.

# Made-Over Dishes/Bread

BREAD
The better way is to cut just sufficient bread for each meal so that there will be really no left-overs. If, however, a few slices are accidentally left, put them aside in a can or jar, never in the regular bread box with the bread; one or two slices will invariably be missed until sufficiently old to mold and contaminate the remaining quantity of bread in the box, and then, too, they are more apt to accumulate in this way than in a separate box. The neater pieces may be used for toast for breakfast or lunch or supper. The next best pieces use for bread and butter custard; the crusts dry, roll and put aside to be ready for breading articles to be fried, or for escalloped dishes. In this way every piece, no matter what its condition, will be utilized.
Bread and Butter Custard
Beat two eggs, without separating, until light, add four tablespoonfuls of sugar and a pint of milk, mix and add a grating of nutmeg; turn into an ordinary baking dish, cover the top with buttered bread, butter side up; bake in a moderate oven just as you would a cup custard, until you can put a spoon handle down in the center of the custard and it will come out free from milk.
Little Puddings à la Grand Belle
Roll slices of stale bread into fine crumbs. Brush small custard cups, or a border mold with melted butter, sprinkle over a few currants or raisins, or any fruit that you may have left over. Fill the cups with crumbs. Beat three eggs, without separating, until light; add three tablespoonfuls of sugar, a teaspoonful of vanilla and a pint of milk. Pour this carefully over the bread crumbs, let them stand for about five minutes until the mixture has been soaked up and the bread crumbs soft; then stand in a pan of boiling water, cover with oiled paper and cook in the oven a half hour. Turn out and serve hot with egg sauce.
Bread Croquettes
Rub sufficient stale bread to make one quart of crumbs; add four tablespoonfuls of sugar, a half cup of cleaned currants, or any fruit that you have left over, and a grating of nutmeg; sprinkle over a teaspoonful of vanilla, and add sufficient beaten eggs (about three) to moisten the crumbs. Form into small cylinder-shaped croquettes, dip in egg and roll in bread crumbs and fry in smoking hot fat. Serve hot with sugar sauce.
Bread Muffins
Cover a quart of bits of bread that have been broken apart, with one pint of milk; soak for fifteen minutes, then with a spoon beat until you have a smooth paste; add the yolks of three eggs, a tablespoonful of melted butter and one cup of flour that has been sifted with a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder. Fold in carefully the well-beaten whites of the eggs, and bake in muffin pans in a quick oven about twenty minutes.
Muffins left from breakfast may be pulled apart and toasted for lunch or supper. Pieces of stale sponge cake, in fact, any stale cake may be used for cabinet puddings, for cream puddings, or for croquettes.
