# Executive Order 1383

more info.
Signed by President William H. Taft Friday, July 7, 1911
1912 CSR 140
Henry M. Camp was appointed on August 1, 1895, in the Norwalk, Conn., post office, in the classified civil service, and was transferred on February 8, 1901, to the office of the First Assistant Postmaster General upon the clerk examination. He resigned from the position of clerk at $1,400 per annum on September 1, 1908. His resignation was voluntary, and his record as a clerk was satisfactory.
The Civil Service Commission certifies that Mr. Camp's reinstatement may be justified on the ground of capability and efficiency, but that as he has been separated from the service for more than a year, and as he resigned in order that he might occupy his time in politics, it declines to recommend his reinstatement, following in this regard a precedent which had been set by a previous administration. I do not agree with the precedent. I do not mean to say that the circumstances under which one leaves a department, and the purpose for which it is done, might not affect the right to reinstatement, but I do not think that it ought to be adopted as an iron rule that leaving the service in order to engage in some political activity necessarily bars a return to the service. For this reason, Mr. Camp will be reinstated in the classified service without regard to the length of time he has been separated therefrom.

Date is estimated
BONNY JESSIE
NOW Edinbro' I'm gaun to leave,
And thee, my bonnie dear, Jessie, A while a-tween us now maun roar, A tumbling, swelling sea, lassie. But when frae thee, my bonny fair,
For dearest love I ha'e, Jessie, I'll think on thee, when far awa, O thou sae bonnie gay lassie.
I'll think on those bewitching smiles That won my heart sae dear, Jessie; I'll think upon sweet Hawthorn’s den, How blithe hae we been there, lassie? The Edinburgh’s bonny walks Along with thee did bear, Jessie,
And thought mysel' the brawest lad Wi' thee, sae bonny fair, lassie.
It's wealth that wears the silk attire But wha can e'er win me, Jessie; While I ha'e beauty, worth, and love, A' that be dear in thee, lassie, I dinna look me at the world, Ev'n a' that it can gi'e, Jessie; It's sacred mair what makes me love, And binds my heart to thee, lassie.
And haud me now aye as your ain, By a' those vows sae dear, Jessie, And nane nor they do ken that love, Alone to thee I bear, lassie. It's thine wherever I do be, Divide nae seas can we, Jessie; The dearest wish here that I hae, Is mine aye wert thou dear lassie.

# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/"Our Feet shall Stand within Thy Gates"

"Our Feet Shall Stand Within Thy Gates."
Open now Thy gates of beauty, Zion, let me enter there, Where my soul in joyful duty Waits for Him who answers pray'r; Oh, how blessed is this place, Bill'd with solace, light, and grace!
Yes, my God, I come before Thee, Come Thou also down to me; There we find Thee and adore Thee There a heaven on earth must he. To my heart, oh, enter Thou, Let it be Thy temple now.
Here Thy praise is gladly chanted, Here Thy seed is duly sown; Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone, So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me.
Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep Thy gift divine Howsoe'er temptations thicken; May Thy word still o'er me shine. As my pole-star through my life, As my comfort in my strife.
Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee, Let Thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near Thee While Thou dost Thy people feed; Here of life the Fountain flows, Here is balm for all our woes.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/A Modern Samson

A Modern Samson.
Jack, eating mitey cheese, did say, "Like Samson, I my thousands slay." "I vow, quoth Roger, so you do, And with the self-same weapon too."
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/A Sacred Melody

A Sacred Melody.
Be Thou, O God! by night, by day, My Guide, my Guard from sin, My Life, my Trust, my Light Divine, To keep me pure within;—
Pure as the air, when day's first light A cloudless sky illumes, And active as the lark, that soars Till heaven shine round its plumes.
So may my soul, upon the wings Of faith, unwearied rise, Till at the gate of heaven it sings, 'Midst light from Paradise.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/A Breakfast of Learning

A Breakfast of Learning.
As lately a sage on fine ham was repasting (Though for breakfast too savoury, I ween), He exclaimed to a friend who sat silent and fasting, "What a breakfast of learning is mine!" "A breakfast of learning!" with wonder he cried, And laughed, for he thought him mistaken. "Why, what is it else," the sage quickly replied, "When I'm make large extracts from Bacon?"
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/A Mother's Dirge over her Child

A Mother's Dirge Over Her Child.
Bring me flowers all young and sweet, That I may strew the winding-sheet, Where calm thou sleepest—baby, fair, With roseless cheek, and auburn hair!
Bring me the rosemary, whose breath Perfumed the wild and desert heath; The lily of the vale, which, too, In silence and in beauty grew.
Bring cypress from some sunless spot, Bring me the blue forget-me-not, That I may strew them o'er thy bier With long-drawn sigh, and gushing tear!
Oh! what upon this earth doth prove So steadfast as a mother's love! Oh! what on earth can bring relief, Or solace, to a mother's grief!
No more, my baby, shalt thou lie With drowsy smile, and half-shut eye, Pillowed upon my fostering breast, Serenely sinking into rest!
The grave must be thy cradle now; The wild flowers o'er thy breast shall grow, While still my heart all full of thee, In widowed solitude shall be.
No taint of earth, no thought of sin, E'er dwelt thy stainless breast within; And God hath laid thee down to sleep, Like a pure pearl below the deep.
Yea! from mine arms thy soul hath flown Above, and found the heavenly throne, To join that blest angelic ring, That aye around the altar sing.
Methought, when years had rolled away, That thou wouldst be mine age's stay, And often have I dreamt to see The boy—the youth—the man in thee!
But thou hast past! for ever gone, To leave me childless and alone, Like Rachel pouring tear on tear, And looking not for comfort here!
Farewell, my child, the dews shall fall At morn and evening o'er thy pall; And daisies, when the vernal year Revives, upon thy turf appear.
The earliest snowdrop there shall spring, And lark delight to fold his wing, And roses pale, and lilies fair, With perfume load the summer air!
Adieu, my babe! if life were long, This would be even a heavier song, But years like phantoms quickly pass, Then look to us from memory's glass.
Soon on death's couch shall I recline; Soon shall my head be laid with thine: And sundered spirits meet above, To live for evermore in love.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Antagonist Sympathies

Antagonist Sympathies.
On his death-bed poor Lubin lies, His spouse is in despair; With frequent sobs, and mutual cries, They both express their care.
A different cause, says Parson Sly, The same effect may give; Poor Lubin fears that he shall die— His wife, that he may live.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/A Rhapsody

A Rhapsody.
As I walked by myself, I said to myself, And myself said again to me, Look to thyself, take care of thyself, For nobody cares for thee; Then said I to myself, and thus answered myself, With the self-same repartee, Look to thyself, or look not to thyself, 'Tis the self-same thing to me.

Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER, concurring.
The conflicting views between two members and the rest of this Court on the law of Louisiana relevant to the issue in this case prove once more what a precarious business it is for us to adjudicate a federal issue dependent on what the Court finds to be state law, when the highest court of a State has not given us authoritative guidance regarding its law. In like situations I have, from time to time, suggested that legal procedure is not without resources for enabling us to found our decision securely on state law. See, e.g., Propper v. Clark, 337 U.S. 472, 493, 69 S.Ct. 1333, 1345, 93 L.Ed. 1480 (dissenting in part). By means of the declaratory judgment (it is available in Louisiana, LSA-Rev.Stat. 13:4231 et seq.) or otherwise, it ought to be possible to suspend definitive judgment on the federal issue until a pronouncement can be had from the state court on controlling state law. For myself I am prepared so to proceed here. In default of it, I concur in the opinion and judgment of the Court.
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, with whom Mr. Justice HARLAN concurs, dissenting.

# General Bragg's Proclamation to the Citizens of Kentucky

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT NO. 2, Glasgow, Ky., September 14, 1862.
Kentuckians, I have entered your State with the Confederate Army of the West, and offer you an opportunity to free yourselves from the tyranny of a despotic ruler. We come not as conquerors or as despoilers, but to restore to you the liberties of which you have been deprived by a cruel and relentless foe. We come to guarantee to all the sanctity of their homes and altars, to punish with a rod of iron the despoilers of your peace, and to avenge the cowardly insults to your women. With all non-combatants the past shall be forgotten. I shall enforce a rigid discipline and shall protect all in their persons and property. Needful supplies must be had for my army, but they shall be paid for at fair and remunerating prices. Believing that the heart of Kentucky is with us in our great struggle for constitutional freedom, we have transferred from our own soil to yours not a band of marauders, but a powerful and well-disciplined army. Your gallant Buckner leads the van. Marshall is on the right, while Breckinridge, dear to us as to you, is advancing with Kentucky's valiant sons to receive the honor and applause due to their heroism. The strong hands which in part have sent Shiloh down to history and the nerved arms which have kept at bay from our own homes the boastful army of the enemy are here, to assist, to sustain, to liberate you. Will you remain indifferent to our call, or will you not rather vindicate the fair fame of your once free and envied State? We believe that you will, and that the memory of your gallant dead who fell at Shiloh, their faces turned homeward, will rouse you to a manly effort for yourselves and posterity.
Kentuckians, we have come with joyous hopes. Let us not depart in sorrow, as we shall if we find you wedded in your choice to your present lot. If you prefer Federal rule, show it by your frowns and we shall return whence we came. If you choose rather to come within the folds of our brotherhood, then cheer us with the smiles of your women and lend your willing hands to secure you in your heritage of liberty.
Women of Kentucky, your persecutions and heroic bearing have reached our ear. Banish henceforth forever from your minds the fear of loathsome prisons or insulting visitations. Let your enthusiasm have free rein. Buckle on the armor of your kindred, your husbands, sons, and brothers, and scoff with shame him who would prove recreant in his duty to you, his country, and his God.

General, Commanding.

# Gesta Romanorum Vol. I (1871)/Of the end of Sinners

TALE XLVIII.
OF THE END OF SINNERS.
Dionysius records, that when Perillus desired to become an artificer of Phalaris, a cruel and tyrannical king who depopulated the kingdom, and was guilty of many dreadful excesses, he presented to him, already too well skilled in cruelty, a brazen bull, which he had just constructed. In one of its sides there was a secret door, by which those who were sentenced should enter and be burnt to ​death. The idea was, that the sounds produced by the agony of the sufferer confined within, should resemble the roaring of a bull; and thus, while nothing human struck the ear, the mind should be unimpressed by a feeling of mercy. The king highly applauded the invention, and said, "Friend, the value of thy industry is yet untried: more cruel even than the people account me, thou thyself shalt be the first victim."—Indeed, there is no law more equitable, than that the artificer of death should perish by his own devices, as Quidius has observed. (48)
APPLICATION.
My beloved, the sufferer is any evil-worker who will finally suffer for the exertion of his iniquitous practices.
Note 48.Page 166.
"As Quidius has observed."
"Who Quidius was I am unable to say. The sentiment here referred to is Ovid's—
———"Neque enim lex æquior ulla, Quàm necis artifices arte perire suâ."
De arte Amandi.
But it is very probable that we should read Ovidius for Quidius above.
# Gesta Romanorum Vol. I (1871)/Of the poison of Sin

TALE XI.
OF THE POISON OF SIN.
Alexander was a prince of great power, and a disciple of Aristotle, who instructed him in every branch of polite learning. The Queen of the North having heard of his proficiency, nourished her daughter from the cradle upon a certain kind of deadly poison; and when she grew up, she was considered so beautiful, that the sight of her alone affected many with madness. The Queen sent her to Alexander to espouse. He had no sooner beheld her, than he became violently enamoured, and with much eagerness desired to possess her; but Aristotle, observing his weakness, said—"Do not touch her, for if you do you will certainly perish. She has been nurtured upon the most deleterious food, which I will prove to you ​immediately. Here is a malefactor, who is already condemned to death. He shall be united to her, and you will soon see the truth of what I advance." Accordingly the culprit was brought without delay to the girl; and scarcely had he touched her lips, before his whole frame was impregnated with poison, and he expired in the greatest agony. Alexander, glad at his escape from such imminent destruction, bestowed all thanks on his instructor, and returned the girl to her mother. (7)
APPLICATION.
My beloved, any good Christian, strong and powerful in virtues communicated at his baptism, may be called Alexander. He is strong and powerful as long as he preserves his purity from the contamination of the devil, the world, and the flesh. The Queen of the North is a superfluity of the things of life, which sometimes destroys the spirit, and generally the body. The envenomed beauty, is Luxury and Gluttony, which feed men with delicacies, ​that are poison to the soul. Aristotle is thy conscience, or reason, which reproves and opposes the union that would undo the soul. The malefactor is a perverse man, disobedient to his God, and more diligent in pursuing his own carnal delights, than the divine commands. He enfolds his sins in a close embrace, by whose deadly touch he is spiritually destroyed. So the book of Wisdom, "He who touches pitch shall be defiled by it." Let us then study to live honestly and uprightly, in order that we may attain to everlasting life.
Note 7.Page 45.
"This story is founded on the twenty-eighth chapter of Aristotle's Secretum Secretorum: in which a queen of India is said to have treacherously sent to Alexander, among other costly presents, the pretended testimonies of her friendship, a girl of exquisite beauty, who having been fed with serpents from her infancy, partook of their nature. If I recollect right, in Pliny, there are accounts of nations whose natural food was poison. Mithridates, king of Pontus, the land of venomous herbs, and the country of the sorceress Medea, was supposed to eat poison. Sir John Mandeville's Travels, I believe, will afford other instances."—Warton.
