# The Poetical Works of William Motherwell/True Woman

True Woman.
No quaint conceit of speech, No golden, minted phrase— Dame Nature needs to teach To echo Woman's praise; Pure love and truth unite To do thee, Woman, right!
She is the faithful mirror Of thoughts that brightest be— Of feelings without error, Of matchless constancie; When art essays to render More glorious Heaven's bow— To paint the virgin splendour Of fresh-fallen mountain snow— New fancies will I find, To laud true Woman's mind.
No words can lovelier make Virtue's all-lovely name,
No change can ever shake A woman's virtuous fame: The moon is forth anew, Though envious clouds endeavour To screen her from our view— More beautiful than ever: So, through detraction's haze, True Woman shines alwaies.
The many-tinted Rose, Of gardens is the queen, The perfumed Violet knows No peer where she is seen— The flower of woman-kind Is aye a gentle mind.
# The Poetical Works of William Motherwell/When I Beneath the Cold Red Earth Am Sleeping

When I Beneath the Cold Red Earth Am Sleeping.
When I beneath the cold red earth am sleeping, Life's fever o'er, Will there for me be any bright eye weeping That I'm no more? Will there be any heart still memory keeping Of heretofore?
When the great winds through leafless forests rushing, Like full hearts break, When the swollen streams, o'er crag and gully gushing, Sad music make; Will there be one whose heart despair is crushing Mourn for my sake?
When the bright sun upon that spot is shining With purest ray, And the small flowers their buds and blossoms twining, Burst through that clay; Will there be one still on that spot repining Lost hopes all day?
When the night shadows, with the ample sweeping Of her dark pall;
The world and all its manifold creation sleeping, The great and small— Will there be one, even at that dread hour, weeping For me—for all?
When iio star twinkles with its eye of glory, On that low mound; And wintry storms have with their ruins hoary Its loneness crowned; Will there be then one versed in misery's story Pacing it round?
It may be so,—but this is selfish sorrow To ask such meed,— A weakness and a wickedness to borrow From hearts that bleed, The wailings of to-day, for what to-morrow Shall never need.
Lay me then gently in my narrow dwelling, Thou gentle heart; And though thy bosom should with grief be swelling, Let no tear start; It were in vain,—for Time hath long been knelling— Sad one, depart!
# The Poetical Works of William Motherwell/What Is Glory? What Is Fame?

What Is Glory? What Is Fame?
What is Glory? What is Fame? The echo of a long lost name; A breath, an idle hour's brief talk; The shadow of an arrant nought; A flower that blossoms for a day, Dying next morrow; A stream that hurries on its way, Singing of sorrow;— The last drop of a bootless shower, Shed on a sere and leafless bower; A rose, stuck in a dead man's breast— This is the World's fame at the best!
What is Fame? and what is Glory? A dream—a jester's lying story, To tickle fools withal, or be A theme for second infancy; A joke scrawled on an epitaph; A grin at Death's own ghastly laugh;
A visioning that tempts the eye, But mocks the touch—nonentity; A rainbow, substanceless as bright, Flitting for ever O'er hill-top to more distant height, Nearing us never; A bubble, blown by fond conceit, In very sooth itself to cheat; The witch-fire of a frenzied brain; A fortune, that to lose were gain; A word of praise, perchance of blame; The wreck of a, time-bandied name,— Ay, This is Glory!—this is Fame!

​Kuroki, General Baron Itel, was born in 1845 in the city of Kagoshima in the GEN. KUROKI southeast of Kiu-shiu, the southernmost of the chief islands of Japan. Here the hardiest Japanese are born; it is the Sparta of Japan, the birthplace of Togo and Oyama. Kuroki is of pure samurai (or noble) descent; the story of his foreign parentage is false. As a boy he entered the army in a humble position, but in the war of 1868, when he was but 23, he commanded a detachment which was in the very thick of the fighting, and rendered the Mikado great service against his rebellious subjects. In 1871 he was appointed captain of the imperial guard. He served with distinction against the rebel forces in the war of 1877. He was quick to adapt himself to the suggestions of the Germans who trained the Japanese army. In the war against China in 1894 he acted as commander of the sixth division, ranking as lieutenant-general. His forces gained special distinction at the capture of the fort of Wei-Hai-Wei. When war began against Russia in 1904, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the first Japanese army-corps in the field, and as such led the main advance across the Yalu and up the line of the Russian railway towards Harbin. He won the great victories of the Yalu (near Wiju), Liao Yang and Mukhden. His generalship was commonly counted superior to that of the Russian commander, Kuropatkin, and received almost universal commendation.

# The New Student's Reference Work/L

See also L on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​L (ĕl), the twelfth letter, is a vocal consonant. It usually is called a liquid, because it flows into other consonants, and they into it, as an intermediate between such consonants and the vowels. It sometimes is even considered a semivowel, because in some words it plays the part of a vowel in making a syllable. The Japanese cannot say l, substituting r. Since it is formed by both palates and the tongue, as in all, battle, blow, evil, it is classed with the palatals. At the end of a monosyllable containing a single vowel, l is often doubled, as in fall, though not after diphthongs, as foul, or digraphs, as foal. When a word ends in le, e is silent and l is preceded by a glide, as in able. The Romans used it as a numeral (50) as well as a letter.

THE YOUNG MEN OF THE SOUTH.
LETTER OF THE HON. CARL SCHURZ TO THE WATAUGA CLUB OF RALEIGH. From the Raliegh (N. C.) News, Nov. 12
When the Hon. Carl Schurz visited Raleigh last Winter he was entertained by the Watauga Club. Most of the citizens will remember the pleasant reception given him in the parlors of the Yarboro House by that club. The club elected Mr. Schurz an honorary member, and in reply to the letter of the committee notifying him received the following autograph letter:
   Messrs. W. J. Peele, Charles E. Johnson, G. E. Leach, Committee:
   Gentlemen: I have received your very kind letter informing me that the Watauga Club has done me the honor of electing me an honorary member. It is no mere politeness of speech when I assure you that I appreciate the honor very highly.
   You have undertaken a work of uncommon merit. An association of young men, organized for the purposes of obtaining and disseminating the most accurate and practical information on economic questions, would be looked upon in any community as a very useful and commendable enterprise, and as a sign of healthy public spirit. It is of especial promise and importance in the Southern States, where the waste of war has been greater than in any other part of the Republic and where the sudden transformation of the labor system had, for some time at least, a bewildering effect upon men's minds. Those who make an intelligent and earnest effort to substitute for the wild shoutings for party spoil a candid and enlightened discussion of public interests on their own merits, render their fellow-citizens a very great service under any circumstances, but especially under those surrounding you.
   Among the many agreeable impressions I brought with me from my Southern journey last Winter, my meeting with your club has, perhaps, been the most cheering. The best hope of the country is in its young men who take their duties as citizens honestly, seriously, and intelligently. What you say in your letter of civil service reform promises that you will draw that subject, too, within the circle of your endeavors. Wishing your enterprise the greatest possible success, and thanking you again for the honor you have conferred upon me, I remain sincerely yours,

# The New York Times/1885/5/9/Obituary - Queen Emma

The New York Times, May 9, 1885
OBITUARY
QUEEN EMMA.
Advices from Honolulu state that Emma, Queen Dowager of the Sandwich Islands, died there on April 25. Her death was sudden. On the day preceding the sad event she complained of a slight headache, which continued to trouble her. About 1 o'clock the following day she had a slight convulsion, when Dr McKibben was hastily summoned. Immediately comprehending the dangerous symptoms he called in Dr. Trosseau. By the exertions of the physicians the Queen was brought out of the convulsions only to be attacked with another fit. She was again restored, but suffered a third attack which proved fatal. Less than an hour had elapsed from the time the physician was called when she breathed her last.
Queen Emma was the daughter of a high native chief by an English woman and the adopted daughter of an English physician at the islands, Dr. Rooke. She was born Jan. 2. 1836, and received an excellent education by American tutors. In 1856 she was married to King Kamehameha IV., who had succeeded to the throne two years previous, and who died in 1863. On the death of King Lunalilo, in February, 1873, his successor not having been proclaimed, Queen Emma and the present King Kalakaua proclaimed themselves candidates for the throne. The Legislature was called together in extra session to elect a Sovereign, and Kalakaua was successful, Queen Emma only receiving 6 votes out of 45. When the result was proclaimed, a mob of her partisans broke into the legislative chamber and furiously attacked the members. Aid was asked of the American and British war vessels at the port, which was granted, and the insurgents were dispersed. Kalakaua was proclaimed King, and the Queen Dowager retired to private life.

Gregory Helmersen
A dispatch from St. Petersburg announces the death of Gregory Helmersen, the celebrated Russian naturalist and traveler. He was born near Dorpat. Sept. 29, 1803, and began his studies in St. Petersburg. Subsequently, he studied at the Dorpat University, paying special attention to geology. He was a pupil of Maurice Engelhardt, whom he accompanied on a scientific tour on the banks of the Volga, in 1828. Two years later he entered the Government service as a mining engineer, and was placed in charge of a party to explore the southern portion of the Ural range. While in this position he published his "Geological Researches in the South of the Ural." Here also he became acquainted with Humboldt, upon whose advice he visited Western Europe. He spent several months at Heidelberg and Fribourg, then went to Northern Italy, and returned to Russia toward the end of 1833. He then resumed his duties in the Ural, and made an important excursion to the Altai Mountains. The following year he was sent by the Government to prospect the mines in the steppes of Russian Asia, and published his researches in "Documents for the Knowledge of the Russian Empire." The following year he was appointed Professor of Geology in the School of Mines, of St. Petersburg. He, however, continued to make numerous trips to the north and west of Russia, Sweden, and Norway. In 1865, he was promoted to the office of Director of the School of Mines, but retired in 1872. Most of his works were published in the Journal of the Academy and the Journal of Mines. He treated specially on the coal districts in a work entitled "The Brithplaces of Mineral Coal in Russia."
