# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Virginia City (Nevada)

Edition of 1879. See also Virginia City, Nevada on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
VIRGINIA CITY, the chief city of Nevada, county seat of Storey co., in the Washoe mountains, at the terminus of the Virginia and Truckee railroad, by which it is 52 m. S. S. E. of Reno on the Central Pacific railroad and 21 m. N. N. E. of Carson City, about 180 m. (direct) N. E. of San Francisco; pop. in 1860, 2,345; in 1870, 7,048, of whom 3,456 were foreigners, including 539 Chinese; in 1875, about 16,000, of whom about 900 were Chinese. It is built on the famous Comstock lode (see Nevada, vol. xii., p. 265) at the E. foot of Mt. Davidson, which rises 1,622 ft. above the main street and 7,827 ft. above the sea. It is regularly laid out on a precipitous site, with broad
streets and avenues, but is destitute of shade trees and unattractive in appearance. The principal public buildings are the masonic hall, odd fellows' hall, county court house, miners' union hall, county hospital, and St. Mary's hospital. It is lighted with gas, and is supplied with water from the summit of the Sierra Nevada, 25 m. distant, through an iron pipe. The chief business is mining. The older mines are the Hale and Norcross, the Savage, Gould and Curry, the Ophir, the Mexican, and the Best and Belcher. The celebrated consolidated Virginia mine in 1875 yielded more than $17,000,000, and in March, 1876, produced $3,634,000. The California mine, said to be the richest in the world, joins the consolidated Virginia on the north. It is officially estimated that the ultimate yield of these two mines will be $300,000,000. There are five public schools (one high and four grammar), a Roman Catholic school, several private schools, two daily newspapers, five church edifices (Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic), and several religious societies without edifices.—The Comstock lode was discovered in 1858 by a Virginian, from which circumstance the city derives its name. Its settlement began in 1859, and it was incorporated in 1861. On Oct. 26, 1875, a fire destroyed more than half the city. Prior to March, 1876, the burnt district had been almost entirely rebuilt, and several handsome structures erected.

VIRGINIA CITY, a city and the county seat of Madison co., Montana, on the N. bank of Alder creek, a tributary of Stinkingwater river, on the E. slope of the Rocky mountains, 5,826 ft. above the sea, 110 m. S. of Helena; pop. in 1870, 867, of whom 279 were Chinese; in 1875, about 1,200. The streets are regularly laid out. It is connected by regular lines of stages with the Utah Northern railroad, 350 m.

# The Book of Scottish Song/The Window Pane

The Window Pane.
[From "Pontia: a Tale, and other Poems, by George Taylor," Edinburgh, 1837. Mr. Taylor, is parochial teacher in Anstruther Wester, Fifeshire.]
Let me in, let me in, my bonnie sweetheart,
Or come ye out to me;
It's lang since I saw your winsome face,
Or the smirk o' yere coal-black e'e.
The bonnie clear moon is in the sky,
There fa's nae cauld night dew—
Come out, come out, my bonnie sweetheart,
Or let me in to you.
"I will neither come out nor let you in;
Gae wa' frae the window pane,
Gae back to her ye were wi' yestreen,
And be content wi' ane."
Fause, fause was the tongue that tauld ye sae;
I lo'e nane but ye'rsel':
Rise up, rise up, my bonnie sweetheart—
I've a breastfu' of love to tell!
And how could she doubt the lad she loved?
Her heart relented soon—
He clasp'd in his arms his bonnie sweetheart,
'Neath the light of the siller moon.
His lips were press'd to her blushing cheek, Her doubts and fears were gane;
She wondered why she had let him stand
Sae lang at the window-pane.
# The Book of Scottish Song/The Winter of Life

The Winter of Life.
[Written by Burns for Johnson's Museum to a plaintive East Indian air.]
But lately seen in gladsome green, The woods rejoiced the day, Through gentle showers, the laughing flowers In double pride were gay: But now our joys are fled On winter's blast awa'! Yet maiden May, in rich array, Again shall bring them a'.
But my white pow nae kindly thowe Shall melt the snaws of age; My trunk of eild, but buss or beild, Sinks in time's wintry rage. Oh, age has weary days, And nights o' sleepless pain! Thou golden time o' youthful prime, Why com'st thou not again?
# The Book of Scottish Song/The Witch on the brae

The Witch on the brae.
A' the witches langsyne were humpbackit and auld,
Clad in thin tattered rags that scarce kept out the cauld,
A' were blear-e'ed, an' toothless, an' wrinkled, an' din,
Ilka ane had an ugly grey beard on her chin;
But fu' sweet is the smile, and like snaw the bit bosom,
And black are the e'en, ay, black as the slae,
An' as blooming the cheeks as the rose's sweet blossom,
O' the bonnie young witch that wins on the brae.
They might travel at night in the shape o' a hare—
They might elfshoot a quey—they might lame a grey mare:
They might mak' the gudewife ca' in vain at her kirn,
Lose the loop o' her stocking, or ravel her pirn,—
Put the milk frae her cow, an' mae tricks as uncannie—
As queer and as deil-like as ony o' thae,
But o' a' the auld witches e'er kent by your grannie,
I could wager there's nane like the witch on the brae.
'Twere a sin to believe her colleagued wi' the deil,
Yet for a' that she casts her enchantments as weel:
An' although she ne'er rode on a stick to the moon,
She has set the auld dominie twice aff the tune.
Ay, and even Mess John ance or twice ga'e a stammer,
But brought himsel' right wi' a hum and a hae!
An' a' body says it was just wi' some glamour
Frae the twa pawkie e'en o' the witch on the brae.
No a lad i' the parish e'er gets a night's sleep,
There's no ane mak's a tryst that he ever can keep
Ilka lass far an' near fears she'll die an auld maid,
An' the piper and fiddler complain o' dull trade;
For although tailor Rab night an' day has been busy,
Yet there's nae been a waddin these sax months and mac;
An', they say, it's a' for that trig winsome hizzie,
The bit bonnie young witch that wins on the brae.
She ne'er passes the mill but the dam aye rins out,
For the miller forgets what he should be about:
Neither mason nor sclater can ane work a turn,
An' whene'er the smith sees her, some shoe's sure to burn, ​An' the serjeant ne'er speaks now o' war, fame, an' glory, An' the droll drouthy shoemaker, Sandy M'Rae, Never sings a queer sang now, or tells a queer story, For they've a' felt the power o' the witch on the brae.
The thin student, puir chiel! ower the linn lapp yestreen, An' wad sure ha'e been drown'd, but by gude luck was seen, An' he says that the witch drove him thus to despair, For she took his last poem to paper her hair. Like the rest, I was put in a gay eerie swither, I had nae peace at hame, an' ne'er kent whare to gae; But, to end baith my sang an' her witchcraft thegither, I will soon be the warlock that wons on the brae.
# The Book of Scottish Song/The Widow's Dream

The Widow’s Dream.
[Thomas Dodd.—Here first printed.]
How sweet was my dream! When the morning did break on't, The sun was a sad sight to me; If frae that bright vision I never had waken'd, My spirit wi' Jamie's wad be. ​I thought, on the shore I sat wearily mourning, The sun had sunk doun o'er the sea; I saw Jamie's ship frae the Indies returning, Wi' flags waving welcome to me.
I heard his clear voice in the sang they were singing,— It cam' through my heart wi' a stound; The tune o' that sang in my ear is yet ringing; Sae pleasant, sae sweet, was its sound.
The sma' boat was lower'd, and they soon cam' to landing;— How happy we met on the shore! He gaz'd wi' that look that was aye sae commanding, And smiled as he aye smiled before.
When press'd to his bosom, how fervent he bless'd me! An' spak o' the joys we wad share; He said, o'er an' o'er, as he fondly caress'd me, "My Jeannie! we'll never part mair."
How fast fell my tears on his fast-beating bosom! I couldna speak to him ava, While, sabbing wi' joy that I'd never mair lose him, I waken'd—and he was awa'!
