# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/St. Agnes

25. St. Agnes.
When Pagans warr'd against the Cross,
And rudely braved the Saviour's power,
Array'd in smiling innocence,
There bloom'd in Rome a lily flower.
With fair round cheek and laughing eye, In artless sweet simplicity,
Along the crowded streets of Rome
See little Agnes passes by.
And round her is a merry troop
Of schoolmates gay, returning home
Ah, little know those guileless hearts
How soon an evil day may come!
How soon that Saviour's name of love,
So sweet to their young infancy,
May claim of them their heart's best blood,
In throes of mortal agony.
For oft as through the busy street
Sweet Agnes pass'd in maiden pride,
A noble youth observ'd the child.
And sought to gain her for his bride.
Ah, reckless suitor, wonldst thou seize
A gem that not to thee is giv'n;
So sweet a flower blooms not for earth,
It ripens for its home in heaven.
Ah, canst thou think the tribunes' hall,
The lictor's axe, the torturer's art,
The gloating crowd,—that these are things
To win a gentle maiden's heart?
​The prætor speaks, the doom is giv'n,—
Of maiden honour what reck they?
The gentle Agnes forth is led
To the dread place of infamy.
Yet, ruthless spoiler, come not nigh,
An eye unseen is watching here;
Beware yon angel's outstretch'd arm,
With sword of vengeance glistening near.
Hush'd is the crowd, in still suspense
They gaze, they strain their eager eyes.
The hour is come—the axe has gleam'd,
The snow-white lily falls and dies.
Yet, ere the veil of sense is rent,
And ere life's blood has ceas'd to flow,
A vision sweet of heavenly joy
Is sent to soothe the suff'rer's wo.
A bright and festive angel band
Has watch'd the dying maiden's love,
And gently bear her in their arms
To blissful seats of light above.
Then, sweetest Agnes, now in bliss,
Look down and hear thy children's prayer
From heaven above, oh, shew to us
A mother's love, a sister's care.
And ask, O gentle Patroness,
That all the youthful company
Of those who love thee here below
May find their home in heaven with that.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/How fleeting all my pleasures seem

21. How fleeting all my pleasures seem!
How fleeting all my pleasures seem! No joy in them I find;
They pass like morning's early beam,
And leave no trace behind.
That lily nurs'd with fond delight,
So fragrant and so fair,
Struck down, alas! by sudden blight,
It dies, despite my care.
And all the bright and sunny flowers
I've watch'd from day to day,
They bloom their few short summer hours,
And then they fade away.
Yet, as they fade and disappear,
Methinks I hear them cry,
"Dear little friend, so young and fair,
Remember you must die."
Ah, yes! and may I on that day,
When Jesus calls me hence,
Like my fair lily, pass away
In spotless innocence. ​And like the rose whose sweets outlive
Its gay and fleeting bloom,
May I fair virtue's odour give
E'en from the silent tomb.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/I am made for God

27. I am made for God.
The sun that gives me heat and light,
The moon that cheers the gloom of night;
The stars that sparkle in the sky,
Like friendly eyes that watch on high:
The boundless sea, the spacious land,
Whatever is great, or rich, or grand;—
All these, and more than eye can see,
The Lord has made for love of me.
And he has made these works divine,
To win this wayward heart of mine;
To make me do his blessed will,
And daily love him better still.
​Yet, Lord, my heart's best love is giv'n
Not for these works of earth and heav'n;
For morning's incense-breathing air,
Or evening's charms however fair;
No! may thy holy name be blest
For this one gift above the rest,—
That having made all things for me,
Thou, Lord, hast made myself for thee.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Sacred Songs/Jesus walking upon the Sea

13. Jesus walking upon the Sea.
The waves are breaking snowy white
On the lake of Galilee,
The howling wind throughout the night
Upheaves the raging sea.
​And tossing mid that tempest's roar
Are twelve poor fishermen,
Who vainly ply the struggling oar,
The wisn'd-for coast to gain:
When Jesus walks, amid the storm,
Upon the raging tide;
And bids the tremblers fear no harm,
And bids the storm subside.
O Jesu, when my soul is toss'd
On wild temptation's wave,
When confidence and hope are lost,
Be thou at hand to save.
Amid my darkness, grief, and pain,
Come, Jesu, then to me;
As erst to those poor fishermen
On the lake of Galilee.
# A House-Boat on the Styx

A House-Boat on the Styx is a book written by John Kendrick Bangs and published in 1895. The premise of the book is that everyone who has ever died (up until the time in which the book is set, which seems to be about the time of its publication) has gone to Styx. This does not appear to be the conventional Hell described by Dante in The Inferno, but rather the Hades described in Greek myth (both of which had Styxes): a universal collecting pot for dead souls, regardless of their deeds in life.
    — Excerpted from A House-Boat on the Styx on Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
The book is sequeled by Pursuit of the House-Boat.

Mr. Speaker, today I bring to your attention Al Hurricane, a musical legend and the Godfather of New Mexico music. Al Hurricane has brought Norteño music to audiences throughout the Southwest and Mexico for 50 years.
Al Hurricane was born on July 10, 1936 in Dixon, New Mexico. His birth name is Alberto Nelson Sanchez, but his mother gave him his famous nickname because he was like a little "Hurricane," always knocking things over at the dinner table and running through objects in his path.
He began singing when he was 3 and started playing the guitar when he was 5 years old. He was only 12 when he started to sing and play guitar at local restaurants. Throughout his 50 years of music, he formed several bands and played with legendary artists like Fats Domino, Marvin Gaye, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Clanton and Chubby Checker. He has recorded over 40 albums, tapes and CDs. His trademark "black eye patch" is a result of an injury he received in a serious automobile accident. Of course, he was on his way to play at a sold-out performance. The accident and the new eye patch could not stop his music.
While Al Hurricane is known for playing and performing music, like Flor de las Flores, or Sentimiento, we cannot forget his strong commitment to his family and his community. He has eight children, several of whom have followed their father's footsteps into the music business. He has won numerous public service awards such as The Lifetime Achievement Award given to him by the New Mexico Hispanic Awards Association and the Governor's Award for Music. He is currently the State Chairperson for the National Education Association-New Mexico's Read Across America.
Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me and all the residents of New Mexico in honoring and thanking Al Hurricane for 50 years of bringing joy into our lives through his music and his commitment to our community. Here's to another 50 years of Rancheras, Norteñas, and Corridos from the Godfather of New Mexico music, Al Hurricane.

# A New Mosque at el-Nahud

Sudan Times, January 19, 1917
Our Nahud correspondent writes that the corner stone of a new Mosque at El-Nahud was laid in the presence of a big assembly, including Mr. R. A. Bence-Pembroke, Inspector Kordofan Province, the Kadi, officers and officials of the district.
The Kadi delivered an eloquent speech urging those present to subscribe generously to the funds required for this worthy cause.
The Mamur followed in an able speech pointing out the fact that it was Mr. Bence-Pembroke who initiated the idea, and stating that His Excellency Sir Reginald Wingate during his last visit to Nahud sub- cribed Â£E50 towards the erection of this new Mosque, setting a good example to all.
Sheikh Mohammed Hamad-El-Nil, Chief Sheikh of the Kadaria Order, delivered a short speech thanking Mr. Bence-Pembroke for his initiative in this matter and the Sudan Government for their tireless efforts in promoting the material and moral progress of the people of the Sudan.
Mr. Bence-Pembroke then stood up and addressed those present in Arabic thanking the speakers for their kind words and expressing his best wishes for their success in completing the work they had begun.

​LASTON. (Lieut., 1815. f-p., 25; h-p., 16.)
Samuel Hornigold Laston entered the Navy, in Sept. 1806, as Midshipman, on board the Spartan 38, Capts. Geo. Castle and Jahleel Brenton. Continuing in that ship until April, 1809, he served in her boats at the cutting out of a vessel under the batteries of Civita Vecchia, participated in an attempt made to cut off a convoy under the batteries of Leghorn, and was present in an attack upon a disguised armed polacre off Nice, on which occasion he brought off the barge and pinnace with only three men, and received a severe contusion. On leaving the Spartan Mr. Laston became Master’s Mate of the Bustard 10, Capts. John Duff Markland, Chas. Borough Strong, and Lord John Hay, with whom, it appears, he was for a period of six years employed on the Mediterranean, West India, and Lisbon stations. While so attached he assisted, as Acting-Lieutenant, at the capture and destruction of some gun-boats under the Castle of Duino, cooperated in the defence of Sicily, and was often engaged with enemy’s gun-vessels in the Faro of Messina. His official advancement to the rank he now holds took place 15 Feb. 1815. He shortly afterwards joined the Bombay 74, flag-ship in the Mediterranean of Sir Chas. Vinicombe Penrose; and in the following year, we are informed, he was present at the bombardment of Algiers. His last appointments were- – in 1824 and 1830, as a Supernumerary, to the Ramillies and Talavera, Coast Blockade ships, Capts. Wm. M‘Culloch and Hugh Pigot – and, 18 April, 1831, to the Coast Guard, in which he remained until the close of 1839. Agents – Coplands and Burnett.
