# Flint and Feather (1914)/Part 3/Canada

CANADA
(ACROSTIC)
Crown of her, young Vancouver; crest of her, old Quebec; Atlantic and far Pacific sweeping her, keel to deck. North of her, ice and arctics; southward a rival's stealth; Aloft, her Empire's pennant; below, her nation's wealth. Daughter of men and markets, bearing within her hold, Appraised at highest value, cargoes of grain and gold.
# Flint and Feather (1914)/Part 2/Thistle-Down

THISTLE-DOWN.
THISTLE-DOWN
Beyond a ridge of pine with russet tips The west lifts to the sun her longing lips,
Her blushes stain with gold and garnet dye The shore, the river and the wide far sky;
Like floods of wine the waters filter through The reeds that brush our indolent canoe.
I beach the bow where sands in shadows lie; You hold my hand a space, then speak good-bye.
Upwinds your pathway through the yellow plumes Of goldenrod, profuse in August blooms,
And o'er its tossing sprays you toss a kiss; A moment more, and I see only this—
The idle paddle you so lately held, The empty bow your pliant wrist propelled,
Some thistles purpling into violet, Their blossoms with a thousand thorns afret,
And like a cobweb, shadowy and grey, Far floats their down—far drifts my dream away.
# Flint and Feather (1914)/Part 2/Where Leaps the Ste. Marie

WHERE LEAPS THE STE. MARIE
I
When you whisper to the moon? What say you in the morning? What do you sing at noon? When I hear your voice uplifting, Like a breeze through branches sifting, And your ripples softly drifting To the August airs a-tune.
II
Ste. Marie, as you leap; Your peace that follows after Where through the isles you creep. Give to me your splendid dashing, Give your sparkles and your splashing, Your uphurling waves down crashing, Then, your aftermath of sleep.
# Flint and Feather (1914)/Part 2/Your Mirror Frame

YOUR MIRROR FRAME
Methinks I see your mirror frame, Ornate with photographs of them. Place mine therein, for, all the same, I'll have my little laughs at them.
For girls may come, and girls may go, I think I have the best of them; And yet this photograph I know You'll toss among the rest of them.
I cannot even hope that you Will put me in your locket, dear; Nor costly frame will I look through, Nor bide in your breast pocket, dear.
For none your heart monopolize, You favour such a nest of them. So I but hope your roving eyes Seek mine among the rest of them.
For saucy sprite, and noble dame, And many a dainty maid of them Will greet me in your mirror frame, And share your kisses laid on them.
And yet, sometimes I fancy, dear, You hold me as the best of them. So I'm content if I appear To-night with all the rest of them.

# Flint and Feather (1914)/Part 3/Autumn's Orchestra

AUTUMN'S ORCHESTRA
(INSCRIBED TO ONE BEYOND SEAS)
Know by the thread of music woven through This fragile web of cadences I spin, That I have only caught these songs since you Voiced them upon your haunting violin.
The Overture
October's orchestra plays softly on The northern forest with its thousand strings. And Autumn, the conductor wields anon The Golden-rod—The baton that he swings.
The Firs
There is a lonely minor chord that sings Faintly and far along the forest ways, When the firs finger faintly on the strings Of that rare violin the night wind plays, Just as it whispered once to you and me Beneath the English pines beyond the sea.
Mosses
The lost wind wandering, forever grieves Low overhead, Above grey mosses whispering of leaves Fallen and dead.
And through the lonely night sweeps their refrain Like Chopin's prelude, sobbing 'neath the rain.
The Vine
The wild grape mantling the trail and tree, Festoons in graceful veils its drapery, Its tendrils cling, as cllngs the memory stirred By some evasive haunting tune, twice heard.
The Maple
I
Voicing abroad its patriotic song.
II
The ensign of the Nation of the North.
Hare-Bell
Elfin bell in azure dress, Chiming all day long, Ringing through the wilderness Dulcet notes of song. Daintiest of forest flowers Weaving like a spell— Music through the Autumn hours, Little Elfin bell.
The Giant Oak
And then the sound of marching armies 'woke Amid the branches of the soldier oak, And tempests ceased their warring cry, and dumb The lashing storms that muttered, overcome, Choked by the heralding of battle smoke, When these gnarled branches beat their martial drum.
Aspens
A sweet high treble threads its silvery song, Voice of the restless aspen, fine and thin It trills its pure soprano, light and long— Like the vibretto of a mandolin.
Finale
The cedar trees have sung their vesper hymn, And now the music sleeps— Its benediction falling where the dim Dusk of the forest creeps. Mute grows the great concerto—and the light Of day is darkening. Good-night, Good-night. But through the night time I shall hear within The murmur of these trees, The calling of your distant violin Sobbing across the seas, And waking wind, and star-reflected light Shall voice my answering. Good-night, Good-night.
# Flint and Feather (1914)/Part 3/Brandon

BRANDON
(ACROSTIC)
Born on the breast of the prairie, she smiles to her sire—the sun, Robed in the wealth of her wheat-lands, gift of her mothering soil, Affluence knocks at her gateways, opulence waits to be won. Nuggets of gold are her acres, yielding and yellow with spoil, Dream of the hungry millions, dawn of the food-filled age, Over the starving tale of want her fingers have turned the page; Nations will nurse at her storehouse, and God gives her grain for wage.
# Folk-Lore/Volume 20/Augury and Leechcraft in Algeria

Augury and Leechcraft in Algeria.
Some years ago, when my wife and I were at Algiers, we heard strange stories of an ancient African semi-religious rite, performed every fortnight on the seashore about three miles west of Algiers. So, on the usual day, we drove out, by the Bab-el-Oued, to see the sick and infirm cured by a negro mystery-man. ​Each patient brought a hen, and, in his turn, handed it to the "medicine-man," who partially cut its throat and noticed its struggles on the sand. If it flopped only a little way, the ailment was not serious; if nearer to the water, it was dangerous; and, if to the water, death was certain. While we watched, a consumptive man passed on his hen, and sat, in a state of great feebleness, with his back to the wall of a house. The hen flopped far towards the water. The medicine-man rubbed the blood of the hen on the bare breast of the sick man, who then went his way. One woman had a bad leg—all sores—and the sores were rubbed in the same way as the chest of the former patient. We had soon seen enough of it, and we climbed from the beach to the road, where an intelligent Soudanese stood looking on. He spoke to me of the undoubted efficacy of the hen sacrifices for the cure of diseases, and ridiculed the folly of white men who went to a fashionable doctor and paid a napoleon, when they could be far better advised and attended to by paying a shilling for a hen.
I believe that these rites, as they drew crowds of tourists, became a public nuisance, and that the government therefore stopped them. Probably they are still continued, away from the public gaze, as superstitions die hard.

CORRESPONDENCE.
TOM-TIT-TOT.
To the Editor of Folk-Lore.
Sir,—With regard to the note of Mr. W. F. Kirby in Folk-Lore (vol. ii, p. 132), I would point out the following remark of E. Taylor to his translation of the Grimms' folk-tale, "Rumpelstitzchen" (which word he changed into "Rumpelstiltskin"): "We remember to have heard a similar story from Ireland, in which the song ran:
"'Little does my Lady wot That my name is Trit-a-Trot.'"
I drew attention to this remark of Taylor's so long as 1870, in my notes to p. 81 of Gonzenbach's Sicilianische Märchen, which Mr. E. Clodd appears to have overlooked.

# Folk-Lore/Volume 5/Cursing-Stones in Counties Fermanagh, Cavan, etc.

CURSING-STONES IN COUNTIES FERMANAGH, CAVAN, Etc.
BY MR. G. H. KINAHAN, M.R.I.A., ETC.
Not many years ago, but it seems to have died out now, there was a system of cursing in common vogue in Fermanagh with tenants who had been given notice to quit. This was: they collected, from all over their farms, stones. These they brought home, and having put a lighted coal in the fireplace, they heaped the stones on it as if they had been sods of turf. They then knelt down on the hearth-stone, and prayed that as long as the stones remained unburnt every conceivable curse might light on their ​landlord, his children, and their children to all generations. To prevent the stones by any possibility being burnt, as soon as they had finished cursing, they took the stones and scattered them far and wide over the whole country. Many of the former families of the county are said now to have disappeared on account of being thus cursed.
Near Black Lion, at the extreme north of the co. Cavan, there is a cursing-stone. It is a large horizontal slab, with twelve or thirteen bullâns or basins cut in it, and in each bullân, save one, there is a large round stone. The cursor takes up one of the stones and places it in the empty basin—and so on, one after another, till all have been gone over. During the movement he is cursing his enemy, and if he removes all the stones without letting any one of them slip (no easy operation, on account of their form), his curses will have effect, but not otherwise. If he lets one slip, the curses will return on his own head. In South-West Donegal (I forget the name of the place) there is a somewhat similar cursing-stone, except that it has only five bullâns. In Castle Forward deer-park it is said that there was another cursing-stone of this type, but some years ago it was dismantled, and half the horizontal slab carried away. Castle Forward is on the road from Newtown Cunningham to Londonderry, near the eastern mearing of the co. Donegal.

# Folk-Lore/Volume 5/St. Valentine's Day Custom at Northrepps

VALENTINE'S DAY CUSTOM AT NORTHREPPS.
BY MR. W. B. GERISH.
Mr. R. D. Gurney has kindly forwarded me the following note, which is quite new to me, and may be to other folklorists:—
"As long as can be remembered by the old people, it has been the custom for the children, some seventy more or less, going very early in the morning of the 14th February to the chief houses, where they sing:
"'Good morrow, Valentine, How it do Hail. When Father's pig die, Yow shall ha' its tail.
"'Good morrow, Valentine, How thundering Hot. When Father's pig die, Yow shall ha' its jot.'
"The rest of the time is whiled away in School-Board songs. The custom is not known in the neighbouring villages, as far as I know."
The jot, I may say, is the tripe or intestines of the pig, and is the peculiar delicacy of the poorer class in Norfolk. I do not think the tail can be considered a bonne bouche.

Mr. Justice HARLAN, concurring.
Under the compulsion of last Term's reapportionment decisions I join the opinion and judgment of the Court, but with one reservation. There is language in today's opinion, unnecessary to the Court's resolution of this case, that might be taken to mean that the constitutionality of state legislative apportionments must, in the last analysis, always be judged in terms of simple arithmetic.
As this Court embarks on the difficult business of putting flesh on the bones of Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533, 84 S.Ct. 1362, 12 L.Ed.2d 506, and its companion decisions of last June, I desire expressly to reserve for a case which squarely presents the issue, the question of whether the principles announced in those decisions require such a sterile approach to the concept of equal protection in the political field.

FOLLETT v. TOWN OF McCORMICK, S.C.
Argued: Feb. 11, 1944. --- Decided: March 27, 1944
Mr. Justice REED, concurring.
My views on the constitutionality of ordinances of this type are set out at length in Jones v. Opelika, 316 U.S. 584, 62 S.Ct. 1231, 86 L.Ed. 1691, 141 A.L.R. 514, and in a dissent on the rehearing of the same case, 319 U.S. 117, 63 S.Ct. 891, 87 L.Ed. 1290. These views remain unchanged but they are not in accord with those announced by the Court.
My understanding of this Court's opinions in Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105, 63 S.Ct. 870, 891, 87 L.Ed. 1292, 146 A.L.R. 81, and Jones v. Opelika, 319 U.S. 103, 63 S.Ct. 890, 87 L.Ed. 1290, is that distribution of religious literature in return for money when done as a method of spreading the distributor's religious beliefs is an exercise of religion within the First Amendment and therefore immune from interference by the requirement of a license. These opinions are now the law of the land.
As I see no difference in respect to the exercise of religion between an itinerant distributor and one who remains in one general neighborhood or between one who is active part time and another who is active all of his time, there is no occasion for me to state again views already rejected by a majority of the Court. Consequently, I concur in the conclusion reached in the present case.

Mr. Justice MURPHY, concurring.
While I am in complete accord with the opinion of the Court, I desire to add a brief word in light of certain statements made in the dissenting opinion. It is claimed that the effect of our decision is to subsidize religion. But this is merely a harsh way of saying that to prohibit the taxation of religious activities is to give substance to the constitutional right of religious freedom.
It is suggested that we have opened the door to exemption of wealthy religious institutions, like Trinity Church in New York City, from the payment of taxes on property investments from which support is derived for religious activities. It is also charged that the decision contains startling implications with respect to freedom of speech and the press. I am neither disturbed nor impressed by these allegations. We are not called upon in this case to deal with the taxability of income arising out of extensive holdings of commercial property and business activities related thereto. There is an obvious difference between taxing commercial property and investments undertaken for profit, whatever use is made of the income, and laying a tax directly on an activity that is essentially religious in purpose and character or on an exercise of the privilege of free speech and free publication.
It is wise to remember that the taxing and licensing power is a dangerous and potent weapon which, in the hands of unscrupulous or bigoted men, could be used to suppress freedoms and destroy religion unless it is kept within appropriate bounds.
Separate opinion of Mr. Justice ROBERTS, Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER and Mr. Justice JACKSON.

Applicant, who was denied a ballot place as a congressional candidate in the September 8, 1970, primary election in Florida because of his refusal to pay the filing fee required by state law, has applied for injunctive relief against a three-judge Federal District Court judgment rejecting his contentions that the law is unconstitutional.
