# The Stockyard Liar

First published in The Queenslander, 10 April 1897.
If ever you're handling a rough one, There's bound to be perched on the rails Of the stockyard some grizzled old tough one, Whose flow of advice never fails. There are plenty, of course, who aspire To make plain you're only a dunce; But the most insupportable liar Is the man who has "ridden 'em once."
He will tell you a tale and a rum one, With never a smile on his face, How he broke for old Somebody Someone, At some unapproachable place; How they bucked and snorted and squealed. How he spurred 'em and flogged 'em and how He would gallop 'em round till they reeled, But he's "getting too old for it now."
Let them spell from Free Trade and Protection And give Federation a rest, For the matter that wants their inspection Is waiting out here in the West: And the law that the country requires At the hands of her Statesmen of sense Is a law to abolish the liars That can sit a roughbuck—"on the fence."
This work is in the public domain in Australia because it was created in Australia and the term of copyright has expired. According to Australian Copyright Council - Duration of Copyright, the following works are public domain:
* published non-government works whose author died before January 1, 1955,
* anonymous or pseudonymous works and photographs published before January 1, 1955, and
* government works published more than 50 years ago (before January 1, 1974).
This work is also in the public domain in the United States because it was first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days), and it was first published before 1989 without complying with U.S. copyright formalities (renewal and/or copyright notice) and it was in the public domain in Australia on the URAA date (January 1, 1996). This is the combined effect of Australia having joined the Berne Convention in 1928, and of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996.
Because the Australian copyright term in 1996 was 50 years, the critical date for copyright in the United States under the URAA is January 1, 1946.
This work may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works.

# The Splendour Falls

From The Princess: Canto III
The splendour falls on castle walls   And snowy summits old in story:   The long light shakes across the lakes   And the wild cataract leaps in glory. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, Blow, bugle; answer, echoes dying, dying, dying.
  O hark, O hear! how thin and clear,   And thinner, clearer, farther going!   O sweet and far from cliff and scar   The horns of Elfland faintly blowing! Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying, Blow, bugle; answer, echoes dying, dying, dying.
  O love they die in yon rich sky,   They faint on hill or field, or river:   Our echoes roll from soul to soul,   And grow forever and forever. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying.

Playwrights' Manuscripts.
E here present our readers with fac-similes of the manuscripts of several of the most popular of living playwrights, chosen from some of the best-known of their plays. Most of them tell their own story; but we may call particular attention to the specimen by Mr. Irving, who is not generally known to be a playwright. Yet the manner in which he treats a drama like "Louis XI." (a page of which we give), by cutting, adding, and writing in soliloquies, manifestly makes him a joint-author in the play.

# The Sphinx (Repplier)

As rendered in The Catholic World (January 1883)
THE SPHINX.
"LE REPOS EN EGYPTE."
All day I watch the stretch of burning sand, All night I brood beneath the golden stars; Amid the silence of a desolate land No touch of bitterness my reverie mars.
Built by the proudest of a kingly line, Over my head the centuries fly fast: The secrets of the mighty dead are mine, I hold the key of a forgotten past.
Yet ever hushed into a rapturous dream I see again that night—a halo mild Shone from the liquid moon; beneath her beam Travelled a tired young Mother and her Child.
Within my arms she slumbered, and alone I watched the Infant. At my feet her guide Lay stretched o'er-wearied; on my breast of stone Rested the Crucified.

# The Story of Life Insurance

This was a series of articles published in McClure's Magazine in 1906, and compiled into a book during the following year.
* Chapter I, The Surplus: The Basis of Corruption
* Chapter II, The Pioneer
* Chapter III, The "Founder" of the Equitable
* Chapter IV, The Great Tontine Gamble
* Chapter V, The Thirty Years' War
* Chapter VI, The Raid on the Surplus
* Chapter VII, The Race for Bigness
The following Publisher's Note was added when this series was published by Publisher:McClure, Phillips, & Co. in book form in 1907.
    The following articles were undertaken at the request of the editors of McClure's Magazine, in which periodical they were first published. They represent an attempt to describe, in clear and accurate terms, the causes that led to the insurance scandals of 1905-06. Necessarily such an exposition took historical form, for the evils disclosed by the Armstrong Investigating Committee had existed for many years. Necessarily also, any adequate explanation involved a discussion of life-insurance principles, for it was the abandonment and perversion of sound life-insurance ideas that made possible the dishonest and extravagant use of life-insurance funds. The articles are republished in book form, practically as written, because they have been generally accepted, by both the professional and non-professional reader, as the most successful attempt made to elucidate a difficult subject, and because it is believed that they contain a large amount of historical material which has permanent value and which is unobtainable in any other form.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published before January 1, 1929.

# The Voiceless

We count the broken lyres that rest  Where the sweet wailing singers slumber,— But o'er their silent sister's breast  The wild flowers who will stoop to number? A few can touch the magic string,  And noisy Fame is proud to win them;— Alas for those that never sing,  But die with all their music in them!
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone  Whose song has told their hearts' sad story,— Weep for the voiceless, who have known  The cross without the crown of glory! Not where Leucadian breezes sweep  O'er Sappho's memory-haunted billow, But where the glistening night-dews weep  On nameless sorrow's churchyard pillow.
O hearts that break and give no sign  Save whitening lip and fading tresses, Till Death pours out his cordial wine  Slow-dropped from Misery's crushing presses,— If singing breath or echoing chord  To every hidden pang were given, What endless melodies were poured,  As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven!

# The Voices

Why urge the long, unequal fight,
Since Truth has fallen in the street, Or lift anew the trampled light, Quenched by the heedless million's feet?
"Give o'er the thankless task; forsake The fools who know not ill from good Eat, drink, enjoy thy own, and take Thine ease among the multitude.
"Live out thyself; with others share Thy proper life no more; assume The unconcern of sun and air, For life or death, or blight or bloom.
"The mountain pine looks calmly on The fires that scourge the plains below, Nor heeds the eagle in the sun The small birds piping in the snow!
"The world is God's, not thine; let Him Work out a change, if change must be The hand that planted best can trim And nurse the old unfruitful tree."
So spake the Tempter, when the light Of sun and stars had left the sky; I listened, through the cloud and night, And beard, methought, a voice reply:
"Thy task may well seem over-hard, Who scatterest in a thankless soil Thy life as seed, with no reward Save that which Duty gives to Toil.
"Not wholly is thy heart resigned To Heaven's benign and just decree, Which, linking thee with all thy kind, Transmits their joys and griefs to thee.
"Break off that sacred chain, and turn Back on thyself thy love and care; Be thou thine own mean idol, burn Faith, Hope, and Trust, thy children, there.
"Released from that fraternal law Which shares the common bale and bliss, No sadder lot could Folly draw, Or Sin provoke from Fate, than this.
"The meal unshared is food unblest Thou hoard'st in vain what love should spend; Self-ease is pain; thy only rest Is labor for a worthy end;
"A toil that gains with what it yields, And scatters to its own increase, And hears, while sowing outward fields, The harvest-song of inward peace.
"Free-lipped the liberal streamlets run, Free shines for all the healthful ray; The still pool stagnates in the sun, The lurid earth-fire haunts decay.
"What is it that the crowd requite Thy love with hate, thy truth with lies? And but to faith, and not to sight, The walls of Freedom's temple rise?
"Yet do thy work; it shall succeed In thine or in another's day; And, if denied the victor's meed, Thou shalt not lack the toiler's pay.
"Faith shares the future's promise; Love's Self-offering is a triumph won; And each good thought or action moves The dark world nearer to the sun.
"Then faint not, falter not, nor plead Thy weakness; truth itself is strong; The lion's strength, the eagle's speed, Are not alone vouchsafed to wrong.
"Thy nature, which, through fire and flood, To place or gain finds out its way, Hath power to seek the highest good, And duty's holiest call obey!
"Strivest thou in darkness?--Foes without In league with traitor thoughts within; Thy night-watch kept with trembling Doubt And pale Remorse the ghost of Sin?
"Hast thou not, on some week of storm, Seen the sweet Sabbath breaking fair, And cloud and shadow, sunlit, form The curtains of its tent of prayer?
"So, haply, when thy task shall end, The wrong shall lose itself in right, And all thy week-day darkness blend With the long Sabbath of the light!"

The Volant
THE brig Volant had been captured, near the mouth of the Rio Grande, on the 5th of November, 1863, by the United States steamer Granite City, and, with her cargo, was condemned, by the decree of the District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The case came before this court upon the appeal of the claimants.
Mr. Ashton, Assistant Attorney-General, for the United States; Mr. Marvin, contra, for the claimants.
The CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the opinion of the court.

The Volant
The proof shows that the brig was the property of a neutral merchant of the island of Jersey, fully documented as a British merchantman, and regularly cleared from London to Matamoras.
The cargo was shipped by the charterers of the vessel for neutral owners, and consigned to neutrals at Matamoras, but had not been discharged at the time of capture.
It consisted in part of bales of confederate uniform cloth, of the same mark and of corresponding numbers with like goods found on the Science; but there is no proof of unlawful destination.
The brig, however, anchored in Texan waters, near the coast, and remained there until captured.
This circumstance alone did not warrant condemnation, though, in connection with the character of the cargo, it justified capture.
The decree of the District Court must be reversed; and a decree of restitution, on payment of costs and charges, must be entered instead of it.
REVERSAL AND DECREE ACCORDINGLY.

# The Tales of John Oliver Hobbes/A Bundle of Life/Chapter 8

VIII.
Sir Ventry Coxe had been educated in the belief that his cousin Teresa loved him madly. When he married Lady Susan Hoppe-Gardner, a chorus went up from all the members of his family. "What on earth will poor Teresa do?" She was present at the wedding, nevertheless, and seemed in the best possible spirits: the relations looked wise and murmured that it was impossible for the unhappy girl to deceive them. Ventry was particularly kind to her; he clasped her hand warmly when he started on his honeymoon and thanked her again and again with tears in his eyes, for her magnificent gift in the shape of a diamond necklace for his bride: every one said it was too touching for words, several ladies declared that Teresa grew as white as a sheet and would have swooned if Lord Twacorbie, with his ready tact, had not led her to the air.
A few years passed: Miss Warcop refused all offers; Lady Susan died. This, all the relations said, was Fate. Sir Ventry, remembering Teresa's rent-roll, thought so too. He decided to make her his wife when a decent period of mourning had elapsed; there was no hurry, she was there, ready, waiting, and willing, when he wanted her.
The day at last dawned when it seemed convenient to address her on the subject: he met her in the hall as she left the drawing-room after her scene with ​Lady Mallinger. She was greatly embarrassed, a fact which he easily attributed to her sudden encounter with himself. Smiling magnanimously, he waited until she had regained her composure.
"Shall we go into the garden?" he suggested.
No, she was feeling rather tired; she had a slight headache; he would find her a very dull companion.
"Do come," he said, in his most persuasive manner.
Teresa, who was always amused at his conceit, and who had a motherly, pitying affection for the weaknesses which did duty for his character, yielded the point and followed him. He began to talk of former days: he reminded her of his five-and-twentieth birthday, when she gave him a hunter and wore a black cloak lined with scarlet.
"You look awfully well in scarlet," he observed. She blushed: scarlet was Wiche's favourite colour. Sir Ventry, however, took the blush to himself.
"I always admired you, you know," he said; "there is not a woman in the family who has got such a complexion, and your eyelashes are so long!"
"It is very nice of you to say so," said Teresa: "I, myself, do not think they are bad. Once or twice I have thought I looked quite decent!"
He glanced at her sideways. Was she really so plain as all the women made out?
"I am awfully fond of you," he said suddenly.
Teresa was by no means dense. "My dear Ventry," she said, with rather a nipping air, "let us talk like reasonable beings."
"I am quite serious," he replied. "Will you marry me, Teresa?"
​"What?"
