The Origin of "Pent-up Utica"


Everybody has heard the lines
mo pent-up Utica contracts our powers.
But the whole boundless continent is ours"
But very few people know the author, or
in what poem they occur. The Portsmouth
IN. ID Journal says they were written by
one Jonathan Mitchell Sewell, a Portsmouth
poet, as an epilogue to Addison's play of Ca
to, on the occasion of its performance by an
amateur company in that place in 1878. The
whole production was one of decided power.
The spirit OF. the Revolution entered into
every expression. We give a few lines:
And what now CLEANS with dawning rays at
home,
Once blazed in full-orbed majesty at Rome.
Did Rome's brave Senate nobly strive to op.
pose
The mighty torrent of domestic foes;
And boldly arm the ~girtuous few, and dare
The desperate perils of unequal war?
Our Senate, too, the same bold deed ha'
done,
And for a Cato armed q Washington
Rise, then, my co~untrymen, for fghtprepare
Grid on your swords, and fearless rush to wal
For your grieved country nobly dare to die
And empty all your veins for liberty.
No pent-up Utica contracts our powers,
But the whole boundless continent is ours
Utica, a town older than in the vicinity {
ancient Carthage, was the place where Cat
died. This fact, with the above extract
will sufficiently explain one of the expressly
quotations in our language--a quotation whic
has been frequently made by the most di
tinguished orators, Webster among them.

The Last Act Of All

Oas evening shortly after the close of the
Mexican war, | found myself at the old Inn
once kept by the noble Ferguson, in compa-
nv with Frank G. Bill N. and two or three
other friends who had with me faced death
On the plains Of Mexico, and afterwards rev
eled in the hal Of Moutezumas.' We had
dined together, and the wine had not been
ale, therefore, we felt Inclined for any kind of
fun which might present itself.
A young man, of very plausible address
and noRt genteel appearance, had in some
way got into TIE company, and though from
some words which dropped | knew he was
q gambler, | contented myself with avoiding
any conversation with him, letting the rest
do as they pleased y regard to him. / heard
them call hun Morford, and afterward learned
that he came IRON a respectable stock.
After we had drunk a few glasses at the
bar, to top Off with, a walk was proposed
and Morford volunteering to show the bows
some fun. was selected as pilot. This did
not please me ovsrmuch, but / would not let
any within Of mlne break up the party, and go
went along.
We visited various saloons in Union and
other streets and Morford, thinking he had
got matters in the right train, started, at the
head Of the party, for the faro rooms Of Sam
j., one OF the heaviest gamblers in the city
situated in Water street, aforesaid.
We were passing q long brick building
but a short distance below the bridge, wher
p success ion Of screams, evidently from fe
males, and other Indications Of a general row
fell upon our ears. As the noise came from
the brick building, we we're not long in ma
king an entrance thereto, and in a momen
witnessed one Of the most disgraceful scene
that man can ever look upon.
Two frail women were engaged in q beas
ly fight while other brltes, in the garb
men and women, were encouraging the con
bat. The scene did not last long: for Mo
ford, with o cry Of horror, sprang forwar,
and dashing the combatants apart drew OF
toward him.
Good Heavens Pauline-you here |
exclaimed, in a voice Of agony.
Yes, Henry replied the girl, whose pc
sonal beauty was great, Notwithstanding Il
evidence of intoxication, and whose likene
70 himself was striking. You broke father
heart by turning gambler, and thought
finish the work.
She never finished the seAtence that al
had commenced.
With a wild cry Of despair, the young m
dew a pistol from bis pocket and before
word could bespoken, or . hand raised
Interfere, her brains despatched the val n,

where she stood. And while yet the report
echoed in the room, and the sitting smoke
rose. over her body, the young gambler cock
ed a second barrel of his revolver, and coolly
saying; Good bye, gentlemen, / must go with
my sister fred and fell a corpse beside the
body of his victim.
1t turned out that is was true that she was
his sister, and this was the first knowledge
be had OF her having, like himself, departed
from the path Of honor and virtue.
Our fun was over for that night, and we
went back to our quarters a sobered and sad
dened set of men. None Of US gil be likely
to forget that tragedy while life lasts.

What a fascination there is in all John
Rnskin's descriptive and analytic passages !
The following is, from the last volume Of the
- Modern Painters THE leaves as we
shall sec Immediately, are the feeders of the
plant. Their own ordinary habits of sue
eession must not interfere with their main
business Of finding food. Who're the sun
and air are, the leaf mnst 60, whether it be
out Of order or not. So, therefore, in any
group, the first consideration with the young
leaves is much like that of young bees, how
10 keep out of each others way, that every
one may leave it's ~neighbors as much ~free-air
pasture as possible, and obtain a relative
Freedom for itself This would be a quite q
simple matter, and produce other simply bal
auced forms, if each branch, with open air all
round il, had nothing TO thiuk Of but recon-
element Of interests among its own leaves.
But every branch has others to meet or to
cross, sharing with them, in various advan-
tage, what shade, or sun, or rain is to be
had. Hence every single leaf cluster pre-
SCENTS the general aspect ofa little family en-
tirely at unity among themselves, but obliged
to Get there living 10y various shifts, CONFESS
ioRs and infringenents Of the family rules,
IN order not to invade the privileges Of other
pSopie in the ncighhorhood. And in the ar
engagement oil these concessions there Is an
exquisite sensibility among the leaves. They
a.~sa. till
hack sulkily but, by a watchful instinct,
Ear apart they anticipate their companions
courses, as edged tissues guide themselves
by the sense OF each others remote presence,
and by a watchful penetration of leafy pur-
peso in the far future. So that every shad-

glist of sun which each reflects on the next,
ard every touch which in toss of storm each
receives from the next. aid or arrest the de.
%yelopment uf their advancing form, and di.
rect, as will le the safest and best, the
curve Of every fold and current Of every vein
And this peculiar character exists in all tn,
structures thus developed, that they are al
ways visibly the result Of a volition on the
part Of the leaf, meeting an external force Of
