The	Financier	of	the	Revolution
	by	which	means	the	credit	of	the	Government
	was	so	largely	maintained	during	this	period.
	We	do	not	wish	to	detract	from	the	glory	of
	Robert	Morris,	but	we	do	insist	that	the	suc
	cess	Morris	obtained	in	his	financial	schemes
	was	due	to	the	skill,	ability	and	sacrifice	of
	Haym	Solomon.
	On	July	12,	1782,	he	requested	Morris
	permission	to	publish	the	fact	that	he	was
	broker	to	the	Office	of	Finance.	In	reference
	to	this	Morris	entered	into	his	diary:	"	This
	broker	has	been	useful	to	the	public	interests.
	...	I	have	consented,	as	I	do	not	see	that
	any	disadvantage	can	possibly	arise	to	the
	public	service,	but	the	reverse."
	He	was	appointed	broker	to	the	French
	consul	and	the	treasurer	of	the	French	army
	and	fiscal	agent	of	the	French	Minister	to	the
	United	States,	Chevalier	de	la	Luzerne,	enor
	mous	sums	passing	through	his	hands.	He
	was	the	principal	depositor	of	the	Bank	of
	North	America,	an	institution	founded
	through	the	instrumentality	of	Robert	Mor
	ris,	to	serve	as	a	means	of	obtaining	funds	to
	carry	on	the	Government,	the	first	and	only


324	MEMOIR	OF	CHARLES	SUMNER.	[1838.
	the	reversal	of	his	judgment	in	the	case	of	Small	v.	Attwood,	1	in	which	it
	is	said	Brougham	exerted	himself	with	superhuman	energy:	notwithstand-
	ing	all	this,	Lyndhurst	charmed	me	like	a	siren.	His	manner	is	simple,
	clear,	and	direct,	enchaining	the	attention	of	all;	we	have	nobody	like
	him:	he	is	more	like	Otis	2	than	any	other,	with	less	efflorescence,	if	I
	may	so	say,	and	more	force.	Wellington	is	plain	and	direct,	and	full	of
	common-sense;	all	listen	with	the	greatest	respect.	Brougham	is	various,
	—	always	at	home,	whether	for	argument	or	laughter.	The	style	of	debate
	is	different	in	the	Lords	and	in	the	Commons	;	in	the	latter	I	have	heard
	the	two	discussions	on	the	Irish	Corporation	Bill.
	I	have	alluded	to	my	opportunities	of	seeing	various	shades	of	life	and
	opinion.	I	may	add	that	I	know	men	of	all	parties.	With	Lord	Wharn-
	cliffe	I	have	talked	a	great	deal	about	toryism	and	the	ballot	;	while	Lord
	Lansdowne	expressed	to	me	this	morning	his	strong	aversion	to	the	King
	of	Hanover	as	King	of	England.	Sir	Robert	H.	Inglis,	8	one	of	the
	best	men	I	ever	met,	has	shown	me	great	kindness;	I	breakfasted	with
	him,	and	then	partook	of	a	collation	with	the	Bishop	of	London.	At	the
	Solicitor-General's	I	heard	politics	much	discussed	;	and	Mr.	Duckworth	*	of
	the	Chancery	Bar,	in	going	home	with	me,	told	me	in	so	many	words	that
	he	was	a	republican.	Opportunities	I	have	also	of	meeting	the	best	and	most
	philosophical	of	the	radicals.	And	now,	my	dear	Judge,	do	not	believe	that
	I	have	given	this	long	detail	of	personalities	and	egoism,	from	vanity;	but
	in	the	freedom	of	friendship,	and	because	I	have	no	other	way	of	letting
	you	know	what	I	am	about.	I	must	reserve	for	conversation	after	my	return
	my	impressions	of	the	bench	and	bar,	of	politics	and	society.	Let	me	say,
	now,	that	nothing	which	I	have	yet	seen	has	shaken	my	love	of	country,	or
	my	willingness	to	return	to	my	humble	labors.	I	am	grateful	for	the	oppor-
	tunities	afforded	me,	and	congratulate	myself	that	I	have	come	abroad	at	an
	age	when	I	may	rank	among	men,	and	be	received	as	an	equal	into	all
	society;	and	also,	when,	from	comparative	youth,	I	may	expect	many	years
	of	joyous	retrospection,	and	also	of	doing	good.	Your	advice	and	friendship	I
	rely	upon	;	and	you	know	that	your	constant	kindness	has	been	my	greatest
	happiness.	I	hope	Mrs.	Story	is	well;	I	shall	write	her	an	account	of	some-
	thing	that	may	be	interesting	;	but	imagine	that	every	moment	of	my	time
	is	absorbed,	and	my	mind	almost	in	a	fever.	I	have	averaged,	probably,
	Jive	invitations	a	day.	To-morrow	is	the	Coronation.	5	That	I	shall	see.

468	CONINGSBY;	OR
	Coningsby	had	dined,	and	was	reading	in	the	library,
	when	a	waiter	brought	up	a	third	edition	of	the	Sun,	with
	electioneering	bulletins	from	the	manufacturing	districts	to
	the	very	latest	hour.	Some	large	letters	which	expressed
	the	name	of	Darlford	caught	his	eye.	There	seemed	great
	excitement	in	that	borough	;	strange	proceedings	had	hap-
	pened.	The	column	was	headed,	'	Extraordinary	Affair	!
	Withdrawal	of	the	Liberal	Candidate	!	Two	Tory	Candi-
	dates	in	the	field	!	!	!	'
	His	eye	glanced	over	an	animated	speech	of	Mr.	Mill-
	bank,	his	countenance	changed,	his	heart	palpitated.	Mr.
	Millbank	had	resigned	the	representation	of	the	town,	but
	not	from	weakness	;	his	avocations	demanded	his	presence	;
	he	had	been	requested	to	let	his	son	supply	his	place,	but
	his	son	was	otherwise	provided	for;	he	should	always	take
	a	deep	interest	in	the	town	and	trade	of	Darlford	;	he
	hoped	that	the	link	between	the	borough	and	Hellingsley
	would	be	ever	cherished;	loud	cheering;	he	wished	in
	parting	from	them	to	take	a	step	which	should	conciliate
	all	parties,	put	an	end	to	local	heats	and	factious	conten-
	tions,	and	secure	the	town	an	able	and	worthy	representa-
	tive.	For	these	reasons	he	begged	to	propose	to	them	a
	gentleman	who	bore	a	name	which	many	of	them	greatly
	honoured	;	for	himself,	he	knew	the	individual,	and	it	was
	his	firm	opinion	that	whether	they	considered	his	talents,
	his	character,	or	the	ancient	connection	of	his	family	with
	the	district,	he	could	not	propose	a	candidate	more	worthy
	of	their	confidence	than	HARRY	CONINGSBY,	ESQ.
	This	proposition	was	received	with	that	wild	enthusiasm
	which	occasionally	bursts	out	in	the	most	civilised	com-
	munities..	The	contest	between	Millbank	and	Bigby	was
	equally	balanced,	neither	party	was	over-confident.	The
	Conservatives	were	not	particularly	zealous	in	behalf	of
	their	champion	;	there	was	no	Marquess	of	Moninouth	and
	no	Coningsby	Castle	now	to	back	him	;	he	was	fighting	on
	his	own	resources,	and	he	was	a	beaten	horse.	The	Liberals
	did	not	like	the	prospect	of	a	defeat,	and	dreaded	the
	mortification	of	Rigby's	triumph.	The	Moderate	men,	who

	and	had	therefore	a	natural	relationship	with	all	the	seething
	world	in	which	the	Time-spirit	could	claim	a	parental	right.
	That,	together	with	the	striking	personality	of	Francis,	is	the
	explanation	of	the	wonderful	influence	and	immediate	success
	of	the	movement	;	that	too	accounts	for	much	of	the	trouble
	which	is	shortly	to	enter	in	amongst	the	brethren	and	bring
	bitter	sorrow	to	the	heart	of	Francis.
	On	the	face	of	things	the	trouble	began	in	the	endeavour
	to	give	the	fraternity	a	more	definite	organization.	Until	now
	it	might	be	said	that	Francis	was	not	merely	the	leader	of	the
	brethren	but	their	law.	They	might	not	all	imitate	him	in
	every	detail	of	his	daily	Hfe	as	did	Brother	John	the	Simple,
	who	went	so	far	as	to	kneel	when	Francis	knelt	and	to	cough
	when	he	coughed	;	^	but	in	the	more	intimate	concerns	of	their
	vocation	they	looked	to	him	as	their	book	of	life.	Without
	any	exaggeration	it	might	be	said	that	the	fraternity	Hved	in
	Francis	and	saw	the	world	through	his	interpretation	of	it	:
	so	the	brethren	came	to	appreciate	poverty	and	song,	the
	service	of	love	and	suffering.	Until	now	they	were	un-
	troubled	by	any	obtrusive	question	as	to	their	relationship
	with	the	world	which	lay	outside	the	life	of	the	Porziuncola
	which	Francis	had	fashioned	there.	The	atmosphere	of	that
	life	they	carried	with	them,	however	distant	they	might
	travel	:	it	was	their	conventual	grille	through	which	they
	conversed	with	the	world	at	large.	They	still	believed	in	the
	all-sufi&ciency	of	divine	faith	and	love	to	win	the	world	to
	Christ	:	they	did	not	trouble	about	the	human	means.	And
	in	truth	the	human	means	which	they	had,	their	own	fervent
	speech	and	persuasive	sympathies	and	their	hard	laborious
	lives,	were	effective	enough	for	the	purpose	Francis	had
	actually	set	before	them.
	Nevertheless,	from	the	moment	that	Francis	had	sent	the
	brethren	forth	to	win	the	world	to	Christ,	and	had	thrown
	the	fraternity	wide	open	to	admit	all	sorts	and	conditions	of
	men,	the	troublous	problem	of	the	relationship	of	the	brethren
	with	the	outer	world	was	latent,	only	waiting	for	circum-
	stances	to	reveal	it.	A	world-wide	society	cannot	be

	Lorenzo,	being	wrought	on	by	false	representations,	at	length
	repudiates	her.	To	the	last,	however,	she	maintains	her	pa-
	tient	sweetness,	and	her	love	for	him,	in	spite	of	his	cruelty.
	She	deplores	his	error,	even	more	than	his	unkinduess	;	and
	laments	the	delusion	which	has	turned	his	very	affection	into	a
	source	of	bitterness.	There	is	a	moving	pathos	in	her	parting
	address	to	Lorenzo,	after	their	divorce	:
	Farewell,	Lorenzo,
	Whom	my	soul	doth	love	:	if	you	e'er	marry,
	May	you	meet	a	good	wife;	so	good,	that	you
	May	not	suspect	her,	nor	may	she	be	worthy
	Of	your	suspicion;	and	if	you	hear	hereafter
	That	I	am	dead,	inquire	but	my	last	words,
	And	you	shall	know	that	to	the	last	I	lov'd	you.
	And	when	you	walk	forth	with	your	second	choice
	Into	the	pleasant	fields,	and	by	chance	talk	of	me,
	Imagine	that	you	see	me,	lean	and	pale,
	Strewing	your	path	with	flowers.
	But	may	she	never	live	to	pay	my	debts	:	(weeps)
	If	but	in	thought	she	wrong	you,	may	she	die
	In	the	conception	of	the	injury.
	Pray	make	me	wealthy	with	one	kiss	:	farewell,	sir	:
	Let	it	not	grieve	you	when	you	shall	remember
	That	1	was	innocent	:	nor	this	forget,
	Though	innocence	here	suffer,	sigh,	and	groan,
	She	walks	but	thorow	thorns	to	find	a	throne.
	In	a	short	time	Lorenzo	discovers	his	error,	and	the	inno-
	cence	of	his	injured	wife.	In	the	transports	of	his	repentance,
	he	calls	to	mind	all	her	feminine	excellence	;	her	gentle,	un-
	complaining,	womanly	fortitude	under	wrongs	and	sorrows	:
	Oh,	Abstemia	!

	Chaster	than	is	the	morning's	modesty
	That	rises	with	a	blush,	over	whose	bosom
	The	western	wind	creeps	softly	;	now	I	remember
	How,	when	she	sat	at	table,	her	obedient	eye
	Would	dwell	on	mine,	as	if	it	were	not	well,
	Unless	it	look'd	where	I	look'd	:	oh	how	proud
	She	was,	when	she	could	cross	herself	to	please	me!
	But	where	now	is	this	fair	soul?	Like	a	silver	cloud
	She	hath	wept	herself,	I	fear,	into	the	dead	sea,
	And	will	be	found	no	more.

	In	III.	4	:	2,	the	only	other	passage	where	the
	return	of	Christ	is	mentioned,	there	is	a	reference
	only	to	salvation,	not	specifically	to	the	resurrec
	tion.	Though	the	article	without	doubt	had	a
	place	in	the	creed	used	by	Irenoeus,	it	is	quite	im
	possible	to	determine	from	his	writings	its	form	or
	its	position	in	the	creed.
	8.	Ei9	TTvevfJia	ayiov.
	That	the	Holy	Spirit	had	a	place	in	Irenoeus
	creed	is	clear	from	I.	10	:	1	(ets	irvev^a	ayiov),
	IV.	33	:	7	(cis	TO	TTi/cOfta	TOV	Oeov\	and	V.	20	:	1	(et

	failed	to	mention	the	Spirit	in	the	many	other
	passages	which	we	have	been	dealing	with	was
	due	doubtless	to	the	fact	that	the	heretics	whom
	he	was	combating	raised	no	difficulties	in	connec
	tion	with	the	Spirit.
	Having	thus	tentatively	reconstructed	the	creed
	used	by	Irenoeus,	let	us	ask	what	is	its	relation	to
	the	Old	Roman	Symbol	known	to	Rufinus	and
	Marcellus.
	The	creed	of	Irenaeus	agrees	with	R	l	in	mention
	ing	God	Father	almighty	;	Christ	Jesus	his	son	;
	the	birth	from	a	virgin	;	the	passion	(in	R	the
	crucifixion)	immediately	after	the	birth	;	the	resur
	rection	of	Christ;	the	ascension;	the	return	of
	Christ	to	judge	;	the	resurrection	of	the	flesh	;	the

	"What	nonsense,	Uncle	Hal!	could	anything
	be	more	delicately	reassuring	admitting	that	I	was
	startled,	at	first,	than	the	whole	bearing	of	the

	"	Should	you	know	him	again	?"	I	questioned.
	"	I	think	I	should,	were	it	only	by	the	diamond	he
	wore,"	she	replied,	with	a	little	laugh	at	the	woman	s
	reason.	Did	you	observe	it	uncle,	as	his	macin

	"Well,	now	for	the	denoument	of	my	story	for
	every	romantic	adventure	should	properly	have	a
	denoument.
	As	we	were	all	riding	on	the	Campagna	a	few
	days	afterwards,	the	usual	intimation	was	given	of
	the	approach	of	the	cortege	of	the	Pope.	Of	course
	we	went	through	the	mummery	of	withdrawing,
	while	the	poor	old	man	was	hurried	along	in	his	air
	ing.	Standing	thus	together,	a	party	of	gentlemen
	rode	rapidly	up,	and,	recognizing	some	of	our	party,
	joined	us.
	Scarcely	were	the	usual	greetings	over,	when
	Grace,	reining	her	horse	near	me,	said,	in	a	low	tone	:
	"	Uncle,	there	is	the	bright	particular	star	of	the

	vaded	by	the	sweetest	spirit	of	Christian	sub
	mission	and	penitence.	Bessie	looked	at	the
	date,	and	read	1832.	Eighteen	years	ago,
	thoiv/ht	she.	Doubtless	her	heavy	burden	has
	ION	since	worn	away	her	strength,	and	at	last
	she	rests	quietly	in	the	grave.	My	mother	and
	her	t)vin	sister	are	once	more	together	in	the
	t'pirit-world.
	She	was	now	too	thoroughly	excited	to	think
	of	sleep.	She	felt	wearied	and	exhausted,	but
	longed	for	day	to	dawn,	that	she	might	reveal
	to	Mrs.	Kennedy	the	night's	disclosures,	and,	as
	she	was	her	mother's	most	intimate	friend,	she
	hoped	that	from	her	she	might	possibly	gather
	the	full	details	of	what	was	only	darkly	hinted
	at	in	this	singular	letter.
	Before	seeking	her	bed	she	went	to	the	win
	dow,	and	drew	aside	the	curtain.	The	moon
	was	shining	brightly,	but	in	the	east	were	the
	faint	but	unmistakable	gleams	of	the	curly
	dawn.	Bessie	threw	herself	on	the	bed,	but
	tried	in	vain	to	sleep.	Tumultuous	thoughts	and
	busy	conjectures	whirled	rapidly	through	her
	brain	;	and,	in	her	impatient	anxiety,	she	heard

	Were	mere	incendiaries	;	and	that	the	gods,
	Not	pleas'd	therewith,	would	ever	be	at	odds.
	Yet	to	no	other	air,	nor	better	place
	Ow'd	he	his	birth,	than	the	cold,	homely	Thrace	;
	Which	shows	a	man	may	be	both	wise	and	good,

	Was	crime	enough	;	their	statues,	arms	and	crowns,
	Their	ornaments	of	triumph,	chariots,	gowns,
	And	what	the	herald,	with	a	learned	care,
	Had	long	preserv'd,	this	madness	will	not	spare.

CHAPTER	III.
	THE	SPIRITUAL	ONENESS	OF	MAN.
	In	such	a	quarrelling	and	tumult	and	jangling	about	other	matters,
	thou	mayest	see	this	one	by	common	consent	acknowledged	as	law
	and	reason,	that	there	is	one	God,	the	King	and	Father	of	all	;	and
	many	gods	the	children	of	God,	and	ruling	together	with	Him
	this	the	Greek	says,	and	the	Barbarian	says,	the	inhabitant	of	the

	same.
	MAXIMUS	TYRIUS,	about	A.D.	150.
	WE	have	now	to	examine	whether	the	unity	of	man
	extends	to	his	religious	faculties	as	well	as	to	his
	physiological	and	intellectual	conditions.
	Three	qualities	appear	in	man,	differentiating	him
	from	the	rest	of	the	animal	kingdom.
	First,	a	moral	sense,	an	intuitive	apprehension	of	a
	right	and	wrong.
	Second,	reflection,	or	the	power	of	turning	the
	moral	gaze	within.
	Third,	the	possibility	of	raising	himself	above	a	law
	of	absolute	necessity.
	We	everywhere	find	him	using	these	distinguishing
	faculties.

CASTE	THREE	391
	The	corner	of	a	library	was	suggested	by	a	sectional
	bookcase,	a	table	with	a	reading-light,	and	a	chair.
	On	the	table	was	laid	the	same	magazine.	A	placard
	in	the	corner	announced:
	Kenyon	Stringer	was	not	a	member	of	the	famous	stage
	triangle.
	He	was	an	irreproachable	husband	and	father,	but	he	was
	murdered.
	Why?
	The	person	who	is	going	to	sit	down	in	this	room	presently
	will	find	out.
	On	the	street	door	appeared	a	second	placard	:
	Blank's	is	out	!
	Get	Yours	To-day.
	We	have	just	100	copies	in	stock.
	At	half-hour	intervals	during	the	afternoon,	a	young
	man,	hired	for	the	purpose,	appeared	in	the	window,
	sat	down	in	the	chair,	switched	on	the	light,	and
	occupied	himself	for	some	minutes	with	Blank's
	Magazine.	Then,	when	a	crowd	had	gathered,	he
	went	close	to	the	glass	and	opened	the	magazine	at
	the	beginning	of	the	Kenyon	Stringer	murder-story,
	where	a	full-page	illustration	greeted	the	eyes	of	the
	onlookers.	He	proceeded	to	turn	the	pages	of	the
	magazine,	allowing	his	audience	a	glimpse	of	the	at-
	tractive,	soft-toned	illustrations.
	Abe	Kahn	called	Mr.	Smith	to	the	telephone	about
	four	o'clock.

	the	top	of	one	of	those	high	hills.
	The	next	day	we	went	to	Union-
	town,	Pa.,	where	we	made	a	visit,
	and	then	went	to	the	mountains.
	We	came	back	to	New	York	in	the
	autumn.

	and	there	was	just	enough	truth	in	his	loneliness
	to	make	it	sting.

	Councill,	catching	sight	of	him.
	"Quick,	Vy	lose	it,"	said	Burns.
	He	sat	down	and	fell	upon	the	dinner	silently,
	but	there	was	a	hot	flush	still	upon	his	face.	He
	was	not	a	beau.	It	had	always	been	difficult	for
	him	to	address	a	marriageable	woman,	and	a	joke
	on	that	subject	threw	him	into	dumb	confusion.
	He	had	lived	a	dozen	tender	dreams	of	which	no
	one	knew	a	word.	Indeed,	he	never	acknowl
	edged	them	to	himself.	He	had	admired	in	this
	way	Eileen	Deering	whom	he	had	seen	with	Mil
	ton	a	few	times	during	the	year.	He	now	envied
	Milton	his	easy	air	of	calm	self-possession	in	the
	presence	of	two	such	beautiful	girls.	There	was
	a	bitter	feeling	of	rebellion	in	his	heart.
	Miss	Wilbur	had	stirred	his	unexplored	self.
	Down	where	ambitions	are	born	;	where	aspira
	tions	rise	like	sun-shot	mists,	her	words	and	the
	light	of	her	face	had	gone.	Already	there	was
	something	sacred	and	ineffably	sweet	about	her
	voice	and	face.	She	had	come	to	him	as	the
	right	woman	comes	sometimes	to	a	man,	and
	thereafter	his	whole	life	is	changed.
	He	walked	away	from	the	few	people	he	knew,

	Felt	the	brotherhood	of	labour,	rising	round	him	like	a	tide,
	Overflow	his	heart	and	join	him	to	the	workers	at	his	side.
	Oft	he	cheered	them	with	his	singing	at	the	breaking	of	the
	light,
	Told	them	tales	of	Christ	at	noonday,	taught	them	words	of
	prayer	at	night.
	Once	he	bent	above	a	comrade	fainting	in	the	mid-day	heat,
	Sheltered	him	with	woven	palm-leaves,	gave	him	water,	cool
	and	sweet.
	Then	it	seemed,	for	one	swift	moment,	secret	radiance	filled	the
	place;
	Underneath	the	green	palm-branches	flashed	a	look	of	Jesus
	face.
	Once	again,	a	raftsman,	slipping,	plunged	beneath	the	stream
	and	sank;
	Swiftly	Felix	leaped	to	rescue,	caught	him,	drew	him	toward	the

	Did	he	dream?	or	was	there	One	beside	him	walking	on	the

	Now	at	last	the	work	was	ended,	grove	deserted,	quarry	stilled;

	*	A	Jacobite	song,	evidently	written	immediately	after	the	accession	of
	George	I.,	in	1714.
	f	This	very	beautiful	song	possesses	an	external	distinction,	on	account
	of	its	having	been	eulogized	by	Burns,	who,	in	consequence	of	hearing	it
	sung	at	a	rustic	merry-meeting,	commenced	a	series	of	lively	epistles	to	its
	author,	which	may	be	found	in	his	works.
	Lapraik	was	portioner	of	Dalfram,	near	Muirkirk,	in	the	eastern	part	of
	Ayrshire.	He	had	attained	a	considerable	age	during	the	youth	of	his
	illustrious	correspondent.	The	occasion	of	the	song	was	this	"	Lapraik,
	in	a	moment	when	he	forgot	whether	he	was	rich	or	poor,	became	secu-
	rity	for	some	person	concerned	in	a	ruinous	speculation	called	the	Ayr
	Bank,	and	was	compelled	to	sell	the	little	estate	on	which	his	name	had
	been	sheltered	for	many	centuries.	His	securities	were	larger	than	the
	produce	of	his	ground	covered,	and	he	found	his	way	into	the	jail	of	Ayr
	when	he	was	sixty	years	old.	In	this	uncomfortable	abode,	his	son	told
	me,	he	composed	this	song	:	it	is	reconcilable	with	the	Jiecount	which	he
	gave	to	Burns	that	he	made	it	one	day	when	he	and	nis	wife	had	been
	mourning	over	their	misfortunes.	"	Cunningham's	Songs	of	Scotland,	voL

	of	the	east.	The	career	of	human	improvement
	also	began	in	this	quarter	;	and	from	the	remains	of
	sciences	which	were	anciently	cultivated	in	India,	we
	may	conclude	it	to	be	one	of	the	first	countries	in
	which	was	made	any	considerable	progress	in	that
	career.	The	wisdom	of	the	East	was	early	celebrated,
	and	its	productions	were	accordingly	in	request	among
	distant	nations.	The	intercourse,	however,	between
	different	countries	was,	as	we	have	already	remarked,
	carried	on,	at	first,	entirely	by	land.	As	the	people	of
	the	east	appear	soon	to	have	acquired	dominion	over
	the	useful	animals,	they	could	early	undertake	the	long
	and	toilsome	journeys	which	it	was	necessary	to	make
	in	order	to	maintain	this	intercourse	;	and	by	the	pro-
	vident	bounty	of	Heaven	they	were	furnished	with	a
	beast	of	burthen,	without	whose	aid	it	would	have
	been	impossible	to	accomplish	them.	The	Camel,	by
	its	persevering	strength,	by	its	moderation	in	the	use
	of	food,	and	the	singularity	of	its	internal	structure,
	which	enables	it	to	lay	in	a	stock	of	water	for	several
	days,	put	it	in	their	power	to	convey	bulky	commodi-
	ties	through	those	deserts,	which	must	be	crossed
	by	all	who	travel	from	any	of	the	countries	west	of	the
	Euphrates	towards	India.
	Trade	was	carried	on	in	this	manner,	particularly
	by	the	nations	near	the	Red	Sea,	from	the	earliest
	period	of	history.	Distant	journeys,	however,	would
	be	undertaken	at	first	only	occasionally,	and	by	a	few
	adventurers.	But	by	degrees,	from	attention	to	their
	mutual	safety	and	comfort,	numerous	bodies	of	mer-
	chants	assembled	at	stated	times,	and	forming	a	tem-
	porary	association,	known	afterwards	by	the	name	of

	broke.

	"Swing	out,	boy,	swing	out!	Sweep	in	from	the

	living	fire.	They	leaped	forward,	the	tremendous	stride
	flinging	the	pebbles	from	the	wheeler	s	hoof.
	Along	the	roadway	the	horses	sped,	lessening	the

	THE	GUILT	OF	LORD	COCHRANE	IN	1814
	Autobio-
	1890
	pp	l	409,4io
	Autobio-
	The	grandson's	edition	(p.	407)	contains	the	following	:
	After	my	conviction	however,	it	became	necessary	to	seek
	additional	evidence	to	support	an	appeal	from	the	conviction,	or
	an	application	for	a	new	trial	as	against	myself.
	Lord	Ellenborough	refused	the	application,	because	all	the
	persons	tried	were	not	present	to	concur	in	it,	though	the	law	gave
	me	no	power	to	enforce	their	attendance.	The	evidence	on	which
	it	was	grounded	however	is	none	the	less	conclusive	because
	Lord	Ellenborough	and	his	colleagues	declined	to	receive	it	or
	even	to	hear	it	!	but	in	place	of	so	doing	at	once	delivered	their
	outrageous	sentence	against	me.
	This	appeal	was	grounded	on	the	evidence	of	several	respectable
	tradesmen	residing	in	the	neighbourhood	of	Crane	the	hackney
	coachman.
	Then	come	a	summary	of	these	seven	affidavits,	and
	^	ne	writer	goes	on	to	say	:
	Such	was	a	portion	only	of	the	facts	which	I	was	prepared
	with	in	my	appeal	to	Lord	Ellenborough	and	his	colleagues.
	But	as	before	said,	the	same	judge	refused	to	listen	to	the	appeal,
	not	on	the	ground	of	my	having	no	evidence	to	rebut	the	perjury
	of	Crane,	but	because	all	the	persons	convicted	were	not	present
	in	Court	to	join	in	the	appeal	*	*	*	I	held	in	my	hand	the
	most	reliable	evidence	that	from	the	money	he	had	been	paid	for
	his	perjury	he	had	bought	'	a	new	coach,	horses,	and	harness.'
	None	of	these	circumstances	were	allowed	to	be	received	in
	Court.
	Now	none	of	these	affidavits	were	in	existence	when	Lord
	Cochrane	appeared	before	Lord	Ellenborough.	Five	of	them
	were	sworn	to	on	July	22,	two	of	them	on	August	9,	and
	Lord	Cochrane's	last	appearance	before	the	Court	of	King's
	Bench	was	on	June	21,	when	sentence	was	passed.	And,
	strange	to	say,	wlien	he	was	before	Lord	Ellenborough	he	never
	mentioned	the	name	of	Crane.
	I	have	already	expressed	my	opinion	that	if	Lord	Coch-
	rane	had	himself	believed	these	seven	men's	affidavits	he
	would	have	put	the	makers	of	them	and	his	four	servants
	Davis,	Dewman,	Turpin,	and	Busk	and	himself	into	the
	witness	box,	and	have	prosecuted	Crane	for	perjury.	His	not
	daring	to	do	so	is	one	of	the	strongest	proofs	of	his	guilt.

	by	some	of	communicating	them	;	on	the	suppo
	sition	that	by	his	brother	s	death	they	might	have
	fallen	into	his	hands.	As	the	gentleman	to	whom	I
	sent	them	had,	in	his	letter	to	me	above	recited,	given
	an	important	reason	for	his	desiring	it	should	be	con
	cealed	that	he	was	the	person	who	received	them,	and
	had	for	the	same	reason	chosen	not	to	let	it	be	known
	I	sent	them,	I	suffered	that	altercation	to	go	on	with
	out	interfering,	supposing	it	would	end,	as	other	news
	paper	controversies	usually	do,	when	the	parties	and
	the	public	should	be	tired	of	them.	But	this	dispute
	unexpectedly	and	suddenly	produced	a	duel.	The
	gentlemen	were	parted	;	Mr.	Whately	was	wounded,
	but	not	dangerously.	This,	however,	alarmed	me,	and
	made	me	wish	I	had	prevented	it	;	but,	imagining	all
	now	over	between	them,	I	still	kept	silence	till	I	heard
	that	the	duel	was	understood	to	be	unfinished	(as
	having	been	interrupted	by	persons	accidentally	near),
	and	that	it	would	probably	be	repeated	as	soon	as
	Mr.	Whately,	who	was	mending	daily,	had	recovered
	his	strength.	I	then	thought	it	high	time	to	inter
	pose	;	and,	as	the	quarrel	was	for	the	public	opinion,
	I	took	what	I	thought	the	shortest	way	to	settle	that
	opinion,	with	regard	to	the	parties,	by	publishing
	what	follows.

	That	Thou,	O	Lord,	through	all	its	devious

	Wilt	give	us	strength	sufficient	to	our	day.
	For	this,	for	this	we	pray.

	upon	its	duties	and	privileges	with	enthusiasm.	Its
	first	act	was	to	send	an	agent	to	Coralio	with	imper
	ative	orders	to	recover,	if	possible,	the	sum	of	money
	ravished	from	the	treasury	by	the	ill-fated	Miraflores.
	Colonel	Emilio	Falcon,	the	private	secretary	of
	Losada,	the	new	president,	was	despatched	from	the
	capital	upon	this	important	mission.
	The	position	of	private	secretary	to	a	tropical
	president	is	a	responsible	one.	He	must	be	a	dip-
	plomat,	a	spy,	a	ruler	of	men,	a	body-guard	to	his
	chief,	and	a	smeller-out	of	plots	and	nascent	revo
	lutions.	Often	he	is	the	power	behind	the	throne,
	the	dictator	of	policy;	and	a	president	chooses	him
	with	a	dozen	times	the	care	with	which	he	selects	a
	matrimonial	mate.
	Colonel	Falcon,	a	handsome	and	urbane	gentle
	man	of	Castilian	courtesy	and	debonnaire	manners,

	And	dark-eyed	Jane	by	the	window	there,

Rod	s	Salvation
	"	Yes,	I	brought	Rod."
	There	was	a	contemptuous	carelessness
	in	his	voice	which	filled	Fayal	with	wild
	anger,	but,	with	instinctive	and	unusual
	self-control,	she	kept	silence.	She	was
	angry	with	herself,	as	well	as	with	him,
	that	she	had	framed	her	question	in	just
	that	way.	Farnor	seated	himself	beside
	her	on	the	ground.
	"	I	knew	you	did	n	t	want	him	to	stay
	over	there	all	night,"	added	Farnor.
	Fayal	said	nothing.	She	was,	indeed,
	glad	that	Rod	was	at	home	again,	but	she
	would	give	this	man	no	thanks	for	it.
	"	I	guess	you	have	learned	that	I	can
	bring	him	home	to	you	about	when	I
	want	to,"	he	went	on.
	Fayal	flashed	an	indignant	glance	at	him.
	"	This	seems	to	be	a	voyage	to	learn,"
	she	retorted,	unconsciously	making	use	of
	the	same	quaint	phrase	that	had	risen	to
	her	grandmother	s	lips	;	"	and	I	guess
	you	ve	learned	that	you	don	t	get	much

	and	were	highly	delighted.
	What	a	fool	the	fellow	was	!	"What	would	he	do
	now	that	all	his	money	was	gone?	What	could	he
	do	except	return	to	his	father?	Accordingly	he
	went	home.
	"You	fool!	You	scamp!"	exclaimed	his	father
	when	he	had	heard	how	his	son	had	wasted	all	the
	money	that	had	been	given	to	him.	"	Go	and	live
	in	the	stables	and	repent	of	your	folly.	You	shall
	never	again	enter	my	house."
	So	the	young	man	went	and	lived	in	the	stables.
	His	bed	was	the	grass	spread	for	the	cattle,	and	his
	companions	were	the	dog,	the	cat,	and	the	snake,
	which	he	had	purchased	so	dearly.	These	creatures
	got	very	fond	of	him,	and	would	follow	him	about
	during	the	day,	and	sleep	by	him	at	night	;	the	cat
	used	to	sleep	at	his	feet,	the	dog	at	his	head,	and
	the	snake	over	his	body,	with	its	head	hanging	on
	one	side	and	its	tail	on	the	other.
	One	day	the	snake,	in	course	of	conversation,	said
	to	its	master	:	"	I	am	the	son	of	Raja	Indrasha.
	One	day,	when	I	had	come	out	of	the	ground	to
	drink	the	air,	some	people	seized	me,	and	would
	have	slain	rne	had	you	not	most	opportunely	arrived

	That	night.
	SHAKESPEARE.	That	night	of	victory	you	loved	me	!
	I	have	my	witnesses.	O	watching	stars
	MARY.	The	eyes,	the	eyes,	the	arch	of	eyes	!
	SHAKESPEARE.	speak	for	me	!
	Once	was	a	taper	that	outshone	you	all,
	It	burned	so	bright.	Oh,	how	you	winked	and
	pried	!
	I	saw	you	through	the	tatters	of	the	dark
	And	mocked	you	in	my	hour.	Yet	speak	for	me,
	Eternal	lights,	for	now	my	candle's	blown
	Past	envy	!	But	she	loved	me	then	!
	MARY.	I	know	not.
	SHAKESPEARE.	Though	god	and	devil	deny	you	loved	me	then	!
	MARY.	But	was	it	love	?
	I	could	have	loved	if	you	had	taught	me	loving.
	Something	I	sought	arid	found	not	;	so	I	turned
	From	searching.	I	have	clean	forgotten	now
	That	ever	I	sought	and	so	live	merrily
	And	so	will	live	!	Why	wreck	myself	for	you	?
	SHAKESPEARE.	O	heart's	desire,	and	eyes',	desire	of	hands,
	Self	of	myself,	have	pity	!
	MARY.	What	had	you	?
	If	I	had	borne	you	children	(but	I	was	wise,
	Knowing	my	man,	as	men	have	taught	me
	men)
	What	name	had	you	to	give	them,	to	give	me	?
	No,	no,	I	wrong	you,	for	you	christened	me
	But	now,	first	having	slain	him	who	had	struck
	The	rankness	from	your	mouth.

	DEU.	How	profitless,
	Thou	and	thy	brother,	elders	tho	ye	be,
	Worry	the	time	out	and	defeat	yourselves.
	One	storms	gigantic	up	the	heavens;	thou
	Triest	to	die	with	thine	own	memory.
	PYR.	Leave	him,	Deukalion,	for	he	is	so	sad.
	DEU.	Aye,	t	is	we	suffer	their	temerities,
	And	back	and	forth,	to	ends	we	know	not	of,
	Madden	between	to-morrow	and	yesterday.
	PYR.	Father,	be	comforted!	And	if	it	please	thee,
	According	to	thy	fancy,	nothing	forced,
	Sing	us	meanwhile	a	rune	here	in	the	night.
	For	song	is	very	like	a	summer	fern
	Sweeter	for	dark;	and	we	sad	winter	birds
	Will	dream	a	little	while	more	pleasantly.
	EPI.	[chanting].
	The	noise	in	the	eternal	heart	abates.
	The	valley	of	the	world	is	blotted	out,
	And	either	end	the	boulders	on	the	gates
	Are	pushed	across	and	shut.
	The	mountains	in	the	dark	are	growing	small.
	No	wind	is	any	more	upon	the	lea.
	The	stone	has	frittered	from	the	waterfall
	Down	rivers	to	the	sea.
	The	uttermost	is	swelling	out	in	void,
	In	total	night,	more	cold	and	emptier
	Around	the	ghost	of	that	which	is	destroyed,
	The	breath	of	things	that	were.

	My	private	personal	self-poise	;	alleged
	Even	my	forthright	drama	still	too	germane
	To	individual	bias	;	branded	those
	My	people	of	their	pseudo-classic	cult,

	As	to	fit	none.	Wherefore	I	stand	appraised
	For	an	alleged	yet	rightly	unperform	d
	*	Subjectivism	;	and	condemn	myself
	Scarce	for	excessive	objectivity

	BELIAL
	What	?	Disaffection	?
	You	make	me	wonder	at	your	words.	I	thought
	I	read	delight	upon	their	honest	faces
	To	hear	he	came	to-night.
	AZAZEL
	Yes.	They	are	fools.
	They	gladly	sweat,	though	they	love	idleness
	And	scrape	them	clean,	although	their	natural	dirt
	Keeps	them	as	warm	as	any	monkey	s	hair,
	All	in	the	Prince	s	honour.	Know	you	why	?
	He	feeds	them	not,	he	helps	them	not,	nor	loves
	them	;
	No,	but	he	reigns.	That	s	argument	enough
	For	loyalty	of	fools.
	BELIAL
	Fore	God,	tis	true.
	He	has	no	stomach	for	our	brave	designs.
	All	day	he	walketh	by	the	sounding	shore
	That	hems	the	skirts	of	Atlas	and	the	world,
	Discoursing	to	the	light	clouds	and	the	winds
	That	cannot	hear	his	words.	I	ll	swear	he	s	mad.

	wounding	Him	by	their	sins,	may	be	"	crucifying
	Him	afresh	and	putting	Him	to	an	open	shame."
	It	is	as	if	we	were	to	weep	for	the	child	resting	in	its
	father	s	bosom,	sheltered	in	a	happy	home,	rather
	than	for	the	child	who	has	gone	astray	in	darkness,
	and	cannot	find	its	homeward	way.	It	is	as	if	we
	were	to	sorrow	for	the	mariner	who	has	found	a	safe
	harbor,	and	rests	in	peace,	rather	than	for	the	storm-
	tossed	sailor	in	the	open	main,	around	whom	the
	billows	may	be	heaving	high,	and	over	whom	the
	sky	may	be	darkening	to	his	doom.	No,	brethren,
	let	us	not	sorrow	for	those	who	are	with	God,	safe
	in	a	Father	s	house,	sheltered	in	the	haven	of	eternal
	rest.	But	let	us	be	anxious	and	careful	for	the	Liv
	ing,	that	we	may	help	them,	and	guide	them	by
	God	s	blessing	in	a	right	way;	and	for	ourselves,
	that	we	may	"	know	the	things	which	belong	unto
	oar	peace	before	they	are	hid	from	our	eyes."
	WEEP	not	for	those	whom	the	veil	of	the	tomb
	In	life	s	happy	morning	hath	hid	from	our	eyes,
	Ere	sin	threw	a	blight	o	er	the	spirit	s	young	bloom,
	Or	earth	had	profaned	what	was	born	for	the	skies.
	Death	chilled	the	fair	fountain	ere	sorrow	had	stain	d
	it,
	Twas	frozen	in	all	the	pure	light	of	its	course,

	This	love	feel	I,	that	feel	no	love	in	this.
	Doft	thou	not	laugh	?
	BEN.	No,	coz',	I	rather	weep.
	ROM	.	Good	heart,	at	what	?
	BEN.	At	thy	good	heart's	oppreflion.

PREFACE
	THE	annals	of	literature	contain	the	record	of
	various	memorable	friendships	which	have	existed
	between	authors	and	publishers.	The	names	of
	Scott	and	Constable,	"Tom"	Moore	and	Longman,
	Browning	and	George	Murray	Smith,	are	perma
	nently	linked	together.	Yet	it	is	doubtful	if	among
	all	such	notable	friendships,	any	can	rival	that	of
	Hawthorne	and	Ticknor.
	The	value	of	the	fragmentary	story	of	this	asso
	ciation,	as	set	forth	in	the	following	pages,	must	of
	necessity	lie	in	those	passages	in	which	the	subjects
	speak	for	themselves.	Especially	does	Hawthorne	in
	his	frank	and	spontaneous	communications,	penned
	from	the	consulate	at	Liverpool,	reveal	himself	with
	a	freedom	from	all	restraint,	not	to	be	found	else
	where	in	his	letters	and	journals.
	C.	T.


THE	MIRAGE.
	The	sinking	sunbeams	glisten	on	the	sands,
	The	desert	stretches	wide	in	golden	light,
	And	far	away	the	distant	caravans
	Wind	ever	on,	and	disappear	from	sight,
	Where	flocks	of	fleecy	clouds	are	skimming	past
	To	sink	and	settle	in	the	west	at	last.

	But	lo	!	the	heavens	seem	to	burst	in	flame,
	Wildly	the	hordes	of	Islam	hasten	on
	Shouting	aloud	their	warlike	prophet's	name
	They	sweep	along	beneath	the	setting	sun,
	They	pass	with	trampling	steeds,	and	clang	of
	arms,
	And	earth	re-echoes	with	their	wild	alarms.
	And	now	the	red	has	mellowed	into	gold,
	Vast	cities	seem	to	stretch	from	sea	to	sea,
	In	pomp	and	glory	and	in	wealth	untold
	A	scene	of	oriental	luxury.
	The	dome-crowned	mosques	and	palaces	arise
	Mid	palms	and	gardens	green	against	the	skies.
	Slowly	the	gold	dissolves,	the	cities	fall,
	The	gilded	scene	now	softly	fades	away	;
	Here	stands	a	column	or	a	shattered	wall,
	While	all	the	rest	has	vanished	with	the	day.
	At	last	these	very	remnants	disappear,
	And	the	lone	desert	spreads	out	dark	and	drear.

	that	the	acquisition	was	not	carefully	investigated	enough.	We
	did	not	have	adequate	independent	consultation	or	teams	of	our

	The	second	mistake	was	the	way	in	which	we	attempted	to

	have	been	a	better	plan	on	how	to	merge	the	companies.	We
	should	have	known	that	we	needed	to	remove	their	senior
	management	and	identify	our	people	to	put	in	their	place.	I
	believe	that	instead	of	our	better	management	going	to	Texas,
	which	was	a	sinkhole,	they	should	have	gone	to	northern
	California	to	replace	the	TakeCare	management.
	Lastly,	I	think	the	back-door	takeover	itself,	in	which	the
	acquired	company's	chairman	became	the	acquiring	company's
	chairman	and	imposed	his	philosophies	on	that	company,	was
	identical	to	a	frontal	takeover,	in	which	he	would	have	bought
	enough	stock	to	control	the	company	and	impose	his	own
	philosophies.	That	back-door	takeover	could	have	been	avoided.
	We	attempted	to	make	sure	it	would	not	happen	when	we	increased
	the	number	of	board	members	from	nine	to	eleven	at	the	time	of
	the	acquisition.	Unfortunately	I	did	not	fill	the	new
	positions	at	that	time.	In	retrospect,	we	probably	should	have
	increased	the	seats	to	fifteen	and	filled	them	immediately.
	Stacking	the	board	is	a	pretty	familiar	tactic,	ever	since	FDR
	[Franklin	D.	Roosevelt]	stacked	the	[U.S.]	Supreme	Court;	he
	could	not	deal	with	them,	so	he	enlarged	it.	It	would	have
	been	very	simple	for	us	to	fill	those	eleven	seats;	I	should
	have	filled	them	with	people	I	could	trust,	and	most
	importantly,	who	had	a	liberal	and	visionary	philosophy.
	[FHP]	being	a	health	care	provider,	we	should	have	had	more
	doctor	representation	from	the	staff	model	on	our	board	of
	directors.	That	would	have	preserved	our	objectives	as	a
	health	care	provider,	not	as	a	vehicle	of	creating	wealth	for
	investors	.
	Hughes:	You	didn't	have	any	doctor	board	members	except	for	yourself?
	Gumbiner:	No,	and	that	was	a	mistake.	I	believe	that	we	probably	should
	have	enlarged	the	board	to	fifteen	and	stacked	it	with	anybody
	that	was	loyal	and	had	the	same	objectives	as	we	had	in
	building	a	health	care	delivery	company	for	the	benefit	of
	providers	and	consumers.	Then	we	could	have	taken	our	time	to
	look	for	qualified	outside	board	members	and	deleted	those
	board	members	who	were	not	with	us,	did	not	understand

	THE	MUSEUM.
	COLLECTIONS.
	Shortly	after	the	opening	of	the	year	just	passed,	Dr.	J.	W.
	VELIE	left	for	Florida,	to	collect	for	the	Academy.	He	was	absent
	from	the	20th	day	of	January	to	the	25th	of	May,	during	which
	time	he	scoured	the	western	coast	of	Florida,	from	Cedar	Keys	to
	Key	West,	meeting	with	very	marked	success,	sending	and	bring-
	ing	home	a	rich	harvest	of	valuable	specimens.	The	labor	con-
	nected	with	such	collecting	is	no	holiday	amusement	;	the	toil	is
	arduous,	the	exposure	severe,	and	the	expense	considerable	in
	this	instance	borne	largely	by	Dr.	VELIE	himself.	Particular	credit
	is	due	him,	and	was	recognized	by	resolution	of	the	Academy,	for
	the	patience,	zeal,	skill	and	success	which	rendered	this	expedition
	notable.
	The	proceeds	were	:
	Mammals	3	species.
	Cetacea	2
	Birds	24
	Eggs	12
	Fishes	21
	Turtles	4
	Reptiles	8
	Crustaceans	12
	Insects	15
	Echini	5
	Mollusca	130	some	in	large	quantities.

	and	other	musical	instruments.	'The	leader	was

	accompanied	by	Pan,	Silenus,	and	all	the	satyrs.

	as	born	she	was	exposed	on	a	mountain,	and	was

	give	rise	to	a	sensitiveness	of	a	character	so
	unusual.	I	very	well	knew	that	men	are
	commonly	more	ashamed	of	natural	imper
	fections	than	of	those	which,	in	a	great	mea
	sure,	depend	on	themselves;	but	then	men
	are,	in	their	own	estimation	at	least,	placed
	by	Nature	at	the	head	of	creation,	and	in
	that	capacity	it	is	reasonable	to	suppose	they
	will	be	jealous	of	their	natural	privileges.

I	MEET	AN	OLD	FRIEND.	I	/I
	indeed	the	toast	of	the	army.	Her	mother	apparently
	saw	no	scandal	in	this,	being	blinded	by	her	own
	partiality	to	the	royal	side.	Her	father	knew	it	not,
	for	he	rarely	attended	the	British	festivities,	from
	which	he	could	not	in	reason	debar	his	wife	and
	daughters.	Fanny	was	too	innocent	to	see	harm	in
	what	her	sister	did.	But	Tom	and	I,	though	we
	never	spoke	of	it	to	each	other,	were	made	sensitive,
	by	our	friendship	for	Philip,	to	the	impropriety	of	the
	situation	that	the	wife	of	an	absent	American
	officer	should	reign	as	a	beauty	among	his	military
	enemies.	I	make	no	doubt	but	the	circumstance
	was	commented	upon,	with	satirical	smiles	at	the
	expense	of	both	husband	and	wife,	by	the	British
	officers	themselves.	Indeed	I	once	heard	her	name
	mentioned,	not	as	Mrs.	Winwood,	but	as	"	Captain
	Winwood	s	wife,"	with	an	expression	of	voice	that
	made	me	burn	to	plant	my	fist	in	the	leering	face	of
	the	fellow	who	spoke	some	low-born	dog,	I	ll
	warrant,	who	had	paid	high	for	his	commission.
	It	was	a	custom	of	Tom	s	and	mine	to	put	our
	selves,	when	off	duty	together,	in	the	way	of	more
	active	service	than	properly	fell	to	us,	by	taking	horse
	and	riding	to	the	eastern	side	of	the	Harlem	River,
	where	was	quartered	the	troop	of	Tom	s	relation,
	James	De	Lancey.	In	more	than	one	of	the	wild
	forays	of	these	horsemen,	did	we	take	an	unauthorised
	part,	and	find	it	a	very	exhilarating	business.

	This	melancholy	sat	strangely	upon	Mr.	Jen
	nings,	who	usually	took	things	as	they	came	with
	smiling	resignation.	It	affected	Bradley	deeply
	to	see	him	so	gloomy.
	Bradley	found	a	quiet	and	comfortable	home
	with	Judge	Brown	and	his	odd	old	wife,	who	man
	ifested	her	growing	regard	for	him	by	little
	touches	of	adornment	in	his	room,	and	by	infre
	quent	confidences.	As	for	the	Judge,	he	took	an
	immense	delight	in	the	young	fellow,	he	made
	such	a	capital	listener.	Between	Bradley	and	the
	grocery	he	really	found	opportunity	to	tell	all	his
	old	stories	and	philosophize	upon	every	conceiv
	able	subject.	He	talked	a	deal	of	politics,
	quoting	Jefferson	and	Jackson.	He	criticised
	members	of	Congress,	and	told	what	he	would
	have	done	in	their	places.	He	criticised,	also,
	the	grange	movement,	from	what	he	considered
	to	be	a	lofty	plane.

292	THE	TALMUD.
	Repent	the	day	before	thy	death.*
	Ten	measures	of	wisdom	came	into	the	world	j	the	law
	of	Israel	received	nine	measures,	and	the	balance	of	the
	world	one.	Ten	measures	of	beauty	came	into	the	world	;
	Jerusalem	received	nine	measures,	and	the	rest	of	the	world
	one.
	Rabbi	Simon	said	:
	"	The	world	stands	on	three	pillars	:	law,	worship,	and
	charity."
	Rabbi	Ada	said	:
	"	When	he	who	attends	the	synagogue	regularly	is	pre
	vented	from	being	present,	God	asks	for	him."
	Rabbi	Simon,	the	son	of	Joshua,	said	:
	"	His	enemies	will	humble	themselves	before	the	one
	who	builds	a	place	of	worship."
	Rabbi	Lakish	said	:
	"	He	who	is	able	to	attend	synagogue,	and	neglects	to
	do	so,	is	a	bad	neighbour."
	Rabbi	Jose	said	:
	"One	need	not	stand	upon	a	high	place	to	pray,	for	it
	is	written,	Out	of	the	depths	have	I	called	unto	Thee,	oh
	Lord	"	(Ps.	30	:	i).	The	same	Rabbi	prohibits	moving
	about	or	talking	during	the	progress	of	prayers,	enlarging
	on	Solomon	s	advice,	"	Keep	thy	foot	when	thou	goest	into
	the	house	of	the	Lord,	and	be	more	ready	to	hear	than	to
	offer	the	sacrifice	of	fools"	(Eccl.	5:1).
	Rabbi	Chia,	the	son	of	Abba,	said	:
	*	The	Rabbi	who	said,	"	Repent	the	day	before	thy	death,"	was
	asked	by	his	disciples	how	they	could	follow	his	advice,	as	man	was
	unable	to	tell	upon	what	day	his	death	would	occur.	He	answered,
	"	Consider	every	day	thy	last	;	be	ever	ready	with	penitence	and	good
	deeds."

	Remember	if	you	will	my	heart	is	pure,
	Perfectly	pure	and	altogether	kind;
	That	not	an	aftercry	of	all	our	strife
	Troubles	the	love	I	give	you	and	the	faith:
	Say	to	yourself	that	at	the	ends	of	life
	My	arms	are	open	to	you,	life	and	death.
	How	much	it	aches	to	linger	in	these	things!
	I	thought	the	perfect	end	of	love	was	peace
	Over	the	long-forgiven	sufferings.
	But	something	else,	I	know	not	what	it	is,
	The	words	that	came	so	nearly	and	then	not,
	The	vanity,	the	error	of	the	whole,
	The	strong	cross-purpose,	oh,	I	know	not	what
	Cries	dreadfully	in	the	distracted	soul.
	The	evening	fills	the	garden,	hardly	red;
	And	autumn	goes	away,	like	one	alone.
	Would	I	were	with	the	leaves	that	thread	by	thread
	Soften	to	soil,	I	would	that	I	were	one.
