# Myths and Legends of British North America/Mink's War with the Southeast Wind (Kwakiutl)

MINK'S WAR WITH THE SOUTHEAST WIND
Kwakiutl
MINK called all his friends together—Deer, Raccoon, Young Raccoon, and Canoe-Calking, the Raven. The four friends went in at once to the council.
Mink said, "Oh, friends, my reason for calling you is that I wish to make war on Southeast Wind." Thus he said. Deer thanked Mink for what he said. They said they would ask Halibut, Sea Bear, Devilfish, and Merman to go along. Mink and all these people lived at Crooked Beach. Southeast Wind was blowing hard all the time, and therefore these people had no way of getting anything to eat.
Therefore they all went to the house of Devilfish and Halibut, for these two lived together. They asked them to join in war on Southeast Wind. They agreed at once. Sea Bear and Merman also agreed.
In the morning, when daylight came, they started in their canoe. In one day they expected to reach South​east Wind's house. They went southward from Crooked Beach. They were already sailing close to the southeast wind. The wind blew hard. It did not detain them. When evening came, they discovered the house of Southeast Wind. Then Mink said, "Let us stop at this cove and consider how we may conquer him." Then they held a council.
Now Mink said, "Oh, friend Halibut! Lie down flat outside of the door of Southeast Wind. When he comes out of his door, he will step on you, and slip on you, and come stumbling down into our canoe, where we will hold him." Then Deer said the wrong thing. He said they should go to Southeast Wind's house while it was not yet dark. They indeed tried to, but they could not, because of the strong wind. When night came, it was calmer. So they started at once, and stopped on the beach right in front of the house. Halibut at once went and lay down flat just outside of the door. Soon Southeast Wind came to the door and stepped upon Halibut. At once he slipped; he could not stand up. He slipped right down into Mink's canoe. Then Devilfish caught hold of him, and Sea Bear and Merman. Now they held Southeast Wind.
Then Southeast Wind said, "Oh, Born-to-be-the-Sun, tell me what you intend to do with me!" He said that to Mink. He saw that Mink was a great warrior.
​Mink answered, "I am doing this because you do not let our world be calm." Southeast Wind answered quickly, "Oh, Chief, now your world shall always be calm, and your sea shall always be smooth." So he spoke to Mink.
Mink said, "Don't give us too much. I do not say that it is good when our world is always calm." Thus he spoke.
Then Southeast Wind said, "It shall not blow in your world for four days." Thus he said. Then those who held him let him go at once, because Southeast Wind was very much afraid of Born-to-be-the-Sun.
Therefore the southeast wind does not blow all the time, on account of what Mink did. This is the end.
# Myths and Legends of British North America/Moon (Thompson River)

MOON
Thompson River
MOON used to be an Indian. He would be as bright as Sun if his sister Frog did not sit upon him. At one time when Moon had invited the Stars to his house, it was so crowded there was no room for his sister Frog to sit down. She jumped on his face and stuck there.
Whenever it threatens to snow or rain, Moon builds a house and enters it. White men call it a halo. The cirrus clouds are the smoke of his pipe, and he always holds his pipe in his hand. You can see it in the moon today, and the basket which he uses as a hat. Moon seems to change from night to night, sometimes being larger and sometimes smaller, but that is all because of Frog's shadow.
# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/Vanity

VANITY.
AH! why should vanity enslave
A mortal journeying to the grave?
Ah! why should pride inflate a breast,
So soon beneath the clods to rest?
Yet still we yield to folly's reign,
And strive to break her sway in vain.
O holy Saviour, hear our prayer,
Behold our toil, our fruitless care,
And let thy Spirit crush the foes
That so disturb our soul's repose.
# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/Victory

VICTORY.
WAFT not to me the blast of fame,
 That swells the trump of victory,
For to my ear it gives the name
 Of slaughter, and of misery.
Boast not so much of honour's sword,
 Wave not so high the victor's plume;
They point me to the bosom goar'd,
 They point me to the blood-stain'd tomb.
The boastful shout, the revel loud,
 That strive to drown the voice of pain,
What are they but the fickle crowd
 Rejoicing o'er their brethren slain?
And ah, through glory's fading blaze,
 I see the cottage taper, pale,
Which sheds its faint and feeble rays,
 Where unprotected orphans wail:
Where the sad widow weeping stands,
 As if her day of hope was done:
Where the wild mother clasps her hands,
 And asks the victor for her son:
Where the lone maid in secret sighs
 O'er the lost solace of her heart,
As prostrate, in despair, she lies,
 And feels her tortur'd life depart:
Where midst that desolated land,
 The sire lamenting o'er his son,
Extends his weak and powerless hand,
 And finds its only prop is gone.
See, how the bands of war and woe
 Have rifled sweet domestic bliss; And tell me if your laurels grow,
 And flourish in a soil like this?

# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/Written on Seeing an Eclipse of the Moon

WRITTEN ON SEEING AN ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.
O GENTLE night's resplendent queen.
 Of fair and placid brow;
Whither has fled thy smile serene,
 And where thy beauty now?
A black'ning shade deforms thine eye,
 A curtain dark and base;
Sad emblem of the spots that dim
 Our own imperfect race.
But, Planet, in a distant sphere
 Where some, perchance, may gaze,
Thy visage still is pure and clear,
 And unobscur'd thy rays.
And thus there is a better land,
 Remote from cloud or strife,
Where constant virtue shines unstain'd,  And free from mists of life.

# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/Vain Pursuits

VAIN PURSUITS.
Some rejoice in pleasure's beam,
Some in fortune's glittering stream,
Some in beauty, some in pride,
Some in honour's treacherous tide;
While with giddy haste they pass,
Like the insect o'er the grass.
Darkness shades the fickle beam,
Dims the beauty, dries the stream,
Breaks the spell that blinds the eyes, And with the dream, the dreamer dies.
# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/Vicissitudes of Nature

VICISSITUDES OF NATURE.
SEE from her secret cell, with changeful vest,
And purple blush, approach returning day.
With gentle smiles her youthful brow is drest,
And as she moves upon the sunny ray,
In sportive wreaths her glowing ringlets play;
Then coy, and veil'd, her parting vigil keeps,
Or bathes her forehead in the Ocean spray;
Then closely wrapt in twilights' mantle, sleeps,
Wakes at the call of morn, and as she rises, weeps.
Night changes too; tho' like a mourner clad,
In sable suit, she passes o'er the scene,
Her eye is dark, tho' not forever sad,
But sparkles when the mild, majestic queen
Moves from her palace with a step serene;
And o'er her robe a tinge of silver spreads,
And tipp'd with rays, her ebon wand is seen,
While her attendant stars decline their heads,
Wait for her sceptred nod, and tremble as she treads.
The graceful year in every garb appears,
First, sad and lonely, wrapt in chilling showers; And then a bashful child with artless fears,
Next as a blooming maiden crown'd with flowers;
Now like a matron lulls the infant hours,
With softest tones, of sweet melodious chime,
Then weak and hoary with enfeebled powers,
And bent beneath the heavy hand of time,
And last with magic strange, renews her youthful prime.
Whether the circling year with glowing locks,
Or infant smiles, or weary step should rove,
Or dark with storms that rend the solid rocks,
Or cloth'd in rays that gild the nodding grove,
Or in her rapid flight, rejoicing move,
Still to the mortal eye, each change is fair,
And still awakes the strain of grateful love,
From the meek soul that feels its Maker's care,
And sees Him in His works, and loves to praise Him there.

# Mrs. Caudle's curtain lectures/Author's preface

AUTHOR'S PREFACE.
It has happened to the writer that two, or three, or ten, or twenty gentlewomen have asked him—and asked in various notes of wonder, pity, and reproof—
"What could have made you think of Mrs. Caudle?
"How could such a thing have entered any man's mind?"
There are subjects that seem like rain drops to fall upon a man's head, the head itself having nothing to do with the matter. The result of no train of thought, there is the picture, the statue, the book, wafted, like the smallest seed, into the brain to feed upon the soil, such as it may be, and grow there. And this was, no doubt, the accidental cause of the literary sowing and expansion—unfolding like a night-flower—of Mrs. Caudle.
But let a jury of gentlewomen decide.
It was a thick, black wintry afternoon, when the writer stopt in the front of the playground of a suburban school. The ground swarmed with boys full of the Saturday's holiday. The earth seemed roofed with the oldest lead, and the wind came, sharp as Shylock's knife, from the Minories. But those happy boys ran and jumped, and hopped, and shouted, and—unconscious men in miniature!—in their own world of frolic, had no ​ And the writer, looking dreamily into that playground, still mused on the robust jollity of those little fellows, to whom the tax-gatherer was as yet a rarer animal than baby hippopotamus. Heroic boyhood, so ignorant of the future in the knowing enjoyment of the present! And the writer still dreaming and musing, and still following no distinct line of thought, there struck upon him, like notes of sudden household music, these words—Curtain Lectures.
One moment there was no living object save those racing, shouting boys; and the next, as though a white dove had alighted on the pen hand of the writer, there was—Mrs. Caudle.
Ladies of the jury, are there not then some subjects of letters that mysteriously assert an effect without any discoverable cause? Otherwise, wherefore should the thought of Curtain Lectures grow from a school ground—wherefore, among a crowd of holiday school-boys, should appear Mrs. Caudle?
For the Lectures themselves, it is feared they must be given up as a farcical desecration of a solemn time-honoured privilege; it may be, exercised once in a life time,—and that once having the effect of a hundred repetitions, as Job lectured his wife. And Job's wife, a certain Mohammedan writer delivers, having committed ​a fault in her love to her husband, he swore that on his recovery he would deal her a hundred stripes. Job got well, and his heart was touched and taught by the tenderness to keep his vow, and still to chastise his help-mate; for he smote her once with a palm-branch having a hundred leaves.

# Narratives of the Mission of George Bogle/Alexander Csoma de Körös

​Alexander Csoma de Körös, the eminent Tibetan scholar, worked in the same field of research as Mr. Hodgson, and at the same time. A Siculo-Hungarian of Transylvania, and without means, this devoted student made his way to India by land, with the object of investigating Eastern languages and literature, and of ascertaining their relation to his own Magyar tongue. It is much to the credit of the Government and officials of British India that Csoma de Körös should have been cordially welcomed and liberally assisted. He first went to Ladak and Zanskar, and studied the Tibetan language and literature in the Buddhist monastery of Pugdal, from 1827 to 1830; and he then proceeded to Calcutta, for the purpose of giving some of the results of his labours to the world, where he was very kindly received by Mr. Wilson and Mr. James Prinsep.
Csoma de Körös ascertained that the literature of Tibet was entirely of Indian origin, the immense volumes being translations from Sanscrit. His teacher in the Tibetan language was a learned Lama of Zanskar, named Bandé Sangs-rgyas Phun-tshogs; and when his grammar and dictionary were completed, the Government of India very properly sanctioned its being brought out at the public expense. He also published several ​valuable papers in the 'Asiatic Researches,' and in the 'Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal.'
In 1842, M. Csoma de Körös set out on an adventurous journey in the footsteps of Mr. Manning, with the intention of making his way to Lhasa, in order to gain access to the stores of Tibetan literature which he believed, from his reading in Ladak, were still extant there. But this indefatigable scholar died, of fever, in 1842, in Dr. Campbell's house at Darjíling.
