Of the Director and Council of New Netherland, against selling intoxicating Liquors to Indians. Passed 18 June, 1643.
[N. Y. Colonial MSS. IV. 169.]
Whereas large quantities of strong liquors are daily sold to the Indians, whence serious difficulties have already arisen in this Country, and further calamities, it is apprehended, will be occasioned; in order to prevent the same, as much as possible, We, the Director General and Council of New Netherland do, therefore, forbid all Tapsters and other Inhabitants, from now henceforth, to sell, directly or indirectly, by themselves or others, any liquors to Indians. If any one shall be found to have acted contrary hereunto, he shall for the first offence forfeit fl. 25; for the second offence, double, and for the third time be arbitrarily corrected.

* GAIN AND LOSS
* I.
* When we are weary with the world's rough teaching,
* Too weak to press our way among the rest,
* Too tired to guess at life's perplexed meaning,
* Too worn to follow in its eager quest,
* We ask but room beneath still summer skies
* To dream in rest, and, waking, dream again.
* Calmly to bear what still before us lies,
* Sutter unshared the woes that yet remain.
* 'Tis then, I think, God sends His special spirits.
* Who straightway open our cold slumbering hearts
* With love that yields far more than it inherits.
* With love that claims as much as it imparts.
* No winged troop of angels, pure and sinless.
* Nor saints, who too grew weary of the earth;
* But little souls whose life is fresh and guileless.
* Of human weakness and of human birth;
* The little children, with their wistful pleading
* For love and strength to feed their tender growth,
* Yet give us warmth and sunshine, all unheeding,
* Unconscious teachers of life-giving truth.
* When baby-fingers twine within our own.
* We cannot push their clinging love away;
* We cannot walk the tedious path alone
* When little feet want strengthening on the way.
* When childish eyes grow brighter with the sun,
* How can we shun the glowing golden light?
* With little thoughts unfolding one by one,
* We dare not shut the truth out from our sight.
* Their tender love, dependence full and sweet,
* We needs must feed with fuller love and power;
* And seeking this will bring us to His feet
* Who feeds the birds, unfolds the opening flower.
* And doubting souls first know a God above them
* When they have felt the spirit's mother-bliss.
* And weary hearts God gathers to His bosom
* When in His father love He sends us this.
* II.
* She took the brown seeds in her hand,
* And softly turned them one by one,
* Saying "For these I only want
* A little rain, a little sun,
* A short-lived sleep within the earth
* Until winter frosts be done.
* "Quickly the spring days come again.
* Quickly the snowdrops follow snow.
* Perchance my little babe shall pluck
* Flowers where I plant these brown seeds now;
* God! send Thy sun and rain to feed
* Both flowers when they together grow."
* Bright shone the sun, fast fell the rain.
* The hands that sowed were clasped in rest,
* Over some flowers a baby's hand
* Had laid upon its mother's breast;
* God took the seed His hand had sown.
* And planted it where flowers grow best.

* BEFORE MARTYRDOM.
* Out in the wild night she prayed —
* "God! my soul is not afraid;
* What is there 'twixt Thee and me
* But my frail humanity?
* "For this spirit — dark as death —
* Death nor darkness injureth,
* Only the grave-tapers show
* Where Thy light begins to glow.
* "For this body — racked and worn —
* From Thy semblance crushed and torn
* Let earth creep to kindred earth,
* That Thy spirit may have birth.
* "For this heart, it is not mine,
* Wholly, infinitely Thine,
* Brand of fire that burns and glows
* Through this waste of endless snows.
* "Love is love in earth or heaven;
* Why should love from love be riven?
* God! let all the people see
* How Thy love can burn in me.
* "But this people will not turn
* Though my heart should glow and burn,
* Break to flame — nor stay to weep.
* Alien still the people keep.
* "Oh, my people! mine by fire,
* By my pain, love, grief, desire;
* Mine for Thee to rouse and wake.
* Keep me earth-bound for their sake.
* "So, sweet death, be hard for me.
* Sweeter far is earth than Thee;
* Pass me — leave me till I bring
* My people with me to their King."

* WORK.
* BY MARY N. PRESCOTT
* Sweet wind, fair wind, where have you been?
* "I've been sweeping the cobwebs out of the sky;
* I've been grinding a grist in the mill hard by;
* I've been laughing at work while others sigh;
* Let those laugh who win!"
* Sweet rain, soft rain, what are you doing?
* "I'm urging the corn to fill out its cells;
* I'm helping the lily to fashion its bells;
* I'm swelling the torrent and brimming the wells;
* Is that worth pursuing?"
* Redbreast, redbreast, what have you done?
* "I've been watching the nest where my fledgelings lie;
* I've sung them to sleep with a lullaby;
* By-and-by I shall teach them to fly.
* Up and away, every one!"
* Honey-bee, honey-bee, where are you going?
* "To fill my basket with precious pelf;
* To toil for my neighbour as well as myself;
* To find out the sweetest flower that grows.
* Be it a thistle or be it a rose —
* A secret worth the knowing!"
* Each content with the work to be done,
* Ever the same from sun to sun:
* Shall you and I be taught to work
* By the bee and the bird, that scorn to shirk?
* Wind and rain fulfilling His word!
* Tell me, was ever a legend heard
* Where the wind, commanded to blow, deferred;
* Or the rain, that was bidden to fall, demurred?

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 125/Issue 1609/Dom Doardos

* DOM DOARDOS.
* The King said to the fair Infanta,
* "Daughter! to the window flee;
* I can hear the mermaids singing
* In the midst of yonder sea."
* "Father! they are not the mermaids
* That you hear so sweetly sing;
* But, my love, my Dom Doardos,
* Calls the daughter of the King!"
* "If, in sooth, 'tis Dom Doardos,
* I will have his traitrous head."
* "Father! if you kill my lover,
* Let my blood be also shed."
* So they slew young Dom Doardos
* At the moonlight evening's close;
* And the Infanta's head lay lowly
* Ere the morning's sun arose.
* One was buried in the chapel;
* The other, near the portal fine.
* An olive-tree grew from her body.
* And from his a royal pine.
* Thrives the one, and thrives the other;
* And entwined their branches grow.
* Then the father, fraught with anger,
* Bids his woodman lay them low.
* From the olive, milk flows gushing;
* Royal blood bursts from the pine.
* Then the Queen, with envy burning,
* Has them cast into the brine.
* Fishers seek the beach for treasure;
* Empty nets bring prayer and plaint;
* But they see a lovely chapel.
* An altar, and an imaged saint.
* Straight they call the priests together,
* Call the priests from near and far.
* That they may baptize the chapel
* Sam Joam de Baixa-mar,
* And the saint upon the altar
* Blessed Virgin do Pilar!
* Soon the people thronged together,
* And the King, among the crowd,
* Struck with sorrow and repentance,
* Smote his breast and wept aloud.
* "Cease, dear father, cease your sorrow,
* Dry your tears, and weep no more;
* No earthly power can sever lovers
* Joined by God forevermore."
* From the Portuguese by Matther Lewtas in the Athenæum.

* WAITING.
* Waiting! For what? Shall I ever know?
* Or shall the new years creep drowsily by
* Till my death-day comes; shall I never know why
* I was born, and must live out my life of woe?
* Is the whole of my lifetime merely a pause
* 'Twixt my birth that was, and my death to be?
* Must I always follow, and never be free?
* Am I only effect? Can I never be cause?
* Or am I but a link of the weariful chain
* Of life, and the sequence of things gone by?
* I am forced to live, for I cannot die,
* But my life is empty and all in vain.
* Yet sometimes I hear my spirit, elate
* At the thought of the glorious deeds to be done,
* Cry: "Strike! 'Tis the time!" But, in answer, one —
* Shall I ever know who? — whispers: "Silence! Wait!"
* It cannot be Hope, for her voice is sweet;
* It is not Despair, for I know her well:
* 'Tis like the ceaseless drone of a knell,
* And wearies the heart with monotonous beat.
* Shall another voice ever whisper to me:
* "Awake! 'Tis the hour! Go forward and fight!
* Thy probation is ended, and impotent night
* Has burst into day!" So shall set me free?
* I know not, I know not; this only I dread,
* That, ere that voice shall proclaim that hour.
* Not only the will may be lost, but the power,
* And I may be cold with the nameless dead.

# Johnson v. Harmon/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
* Concurring Opinion Clifford
United States Supreme Court
94 U.S. 371
Johnson v. Harmon
This was a bill in equity, involving, amongst other questions, the validity of a trust deed given by the complainant (the appellee here) to secure certain notes. The complainant charges in his bill that he was so intoxicated when he executed the deed and notes as to be incapable of understanding what he was doing. The court below, after considerable testimony had been tak n, directed an issue to try the question whether the complainant, at the time of the execution of the deed of trust and notes, was capable of executing a valid deed or contract. The issue so directed was tried, and resulted in a verdict for the complainant; namely, that he was not capable of executing a valid deed or contract. The defendants took a bill of exceptions to the charge given by the judge who tried the issue, which was allowed, and signed by him. The cause afterwards came on to be heard upon the exceptions, and they were overruled. Subsequently a final hearing was had upon the pleadings, evidence, and verdict, and a decree was rendered for the complainant, directing the trust deed and notes in question to be vacated and set aside. From that decree this appeal was taken, and the only errors assigned are to the charge given by the judge to the jury on the trial of the feigned issue.
This is totally inadmissible. A bill of exceptions cannot be taken on the trial of a feigned issue directed by a court of equity, or, if taken, can only be used on a motion for a new trial made to said court. 2 Dan. Ch. Pr. (3d Am. ed.) 1106; Armstrong v. Armstrong, 3 Myl. & K. 52; Ex parte Story, 12 Pet. 343. See the cases on new trials on feigned issues collected in 3 Graham & Waterman on New Trials, 1553, &c. The issue is directed to be tried for the purpose of informing the conscience of the Chancellor, and aiding him to come to a proper conclusion. If he thinks the trial has not been a fair one, or for any other reason desires a new trial, it is in his discretion to order it. But he may proceed with the cause though dissatisfied with the verdict, and make a decree contrary thereto, if in his judgment the law and the evidence so requires. A decree in equity, therefore, when appealed from, does not stand or fall according to the legality or illegality of the proceedings on the trial of a feigned issue in the cause; for the verdict may or may not have been the ground of the decree. It is the duty of the court of first instance to decide (as was done here) upon the whole case, pleadings, evidence, and verdict, giving to the latter so much effect as it is worth. An appeal from the decree must be decided in the same way, namely, upon the whole case, and cannot be made to turn on the correctness or incorrectness of the judge's rulings at the trial of the feigned issue.
Decree affirmed.

## Dissenting Opinion

    White
United States Supreme Court
391 U.S. 596
Johnson v. Florida
Appeal from the Supreme Court of Florida
No. 1393, Misc. Argued: N/A --- Decided: June 3, 1968.
Appellant, found by officers at 4:25 a.m. sitting on a bench at a bus stop, was charged with violating a Florida vagrancy law making it a misdemeanor to be found "wandering or strolling around from place to place without any lawful purpose or object." An officer testified concerning information which appellant had supplied, including the fact that he was on probation which had a 10 p.m. curfew and his whereabouts before arriving at the bus stop, where appellant said he had waited for a bus for some three hours. The record does not show how he got to the bus stop. Appellant's motion for a directed verdict was denied, the defense presented no evidence, appellant was convicted, and the Florida Supreme Court affirmed.
Held: The fact that appellant was out long after the curfew hour of his probation may be held to establish the no "lawful purpose or object" ingredient of the offense, but the judgment cannot stand since there was no evidence establishing the "wandering or strolling" ingredient. Thompson v. Louisville, 362 U.S. 199.
202 So. 2d 852, reversed.
Earl Faircloth, Attorney General of Florida, and Harold Mendelow, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

United States Supreme Court
391 U.S. 596
Johnson v. Florida
Mr. Justice WHITE, with whom Mr. Justice HARLAN joins, dissenting.
Florida's courts have obviously interpreted their statute to permit a showing that a defendant was on a park bench at 4:25 a.m. 'without any lawful purpose or object' to establish a prima facie case that the defendant was 'wandering or strolling around' without lawful purpose. Most inhabitants of park benches reach their bench by wandering or strolling. So interpreting the statute, constitutionally sufficient amounts of evidence were presented.
The Court does not reach the claim appellant makes here, that Florida's statute offends the Constitution because it is vague. That claim is substantial, and I would note probable jurisdiction and set the case for oral argument.

# Letitia Elizabeth Landon (L. E. L.) in Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap Book, 1836/The Phantom

54
THE PHANTOM.
I come from my home in the depth of the sea,
I come that thy dreams may be haunted by me;
Not as we parted, the rose on my brow,
But shadowy, silent, I visit thee now.
The time of our parting was when the moon shone,
Of all heaven’s daughters the loveliest one;
No cloud in her presence, no star at her side,
She smiled on her mirror and vassal, the tide.
Unbroken its silver, undreamed of its swell,
There was hope, and not fear, in our midnight farewell;
While drooping around were the wings white and wild, Of the ship that was sleeping, as slumbers a child.
I turned to look from thee, to look on the bower,
Which thou hast been training in sunshine and shower;
So thick were the green leaves, the sun and the rain
Sought to pierce through the shelter from summer in vain.
It was not its ash-tree, the home of the wren,
And the haunt of the bee, I was thinking of then;
Nor yet of the violets, sweet on the air,
But I thought of the true love who planted them there. I come to thee now, my long hair on the gale,
It is wreathed with no red rose, is bound with no veil,
It is dark with the sea damps, and wet with the spray,
The gold of its auburn has long past away.
And dark is the cavern wherein I have slept,
There the seal and the dolphin their vigil have kept; And the roof is incrusted with white coral cells,
Wherein the strange insect that buildeth them dwells.
There is life in the shells that are strewed o’er the sands, Not filled but with music as on our own strands;
Around me are whitening the bones of the dead,
And a starfish has grown to the rock overhead.
Sometimes a vast shadow goes darkly along,
The shark or the sword-fish, the fearful and strong: There is fear in the eyes that are glaring around,
As they pass like the spectres of death without sound:
Over rocks, without summer, the dull sea-weeds trail,
And the blossoms that hang there are scentless and pale; Amid their dark garlands, the water-snakes glide,
And the sponge, like the moss, gathers thick at their side.
Oh! would that the sunshine could fall on my grave,
That the wild flower and willow could over it wave; Oh! would that the daisies grew over my sleep,
That the tears of the morning could over me weep.
Thou art pale ’mid the dreams, I shall trouble no more, The sorrow that kept me from slumber is o’er:
To the depths of the ocean in peace I depart,
For I still have a grave greener far in thy heart!
