Excerpt: ... Letty's Globe 253 A fellow-feeling that is sure To make the outcast bless his door; A heritage, it seems to me, A king might wish to hold in fee. 0 rich man's son! there is a toil That with all others level stands; Large charity doth never soil, But only whiten, soft white hands; This is the best crop from thy lands, A heritage, it seems to me, Worth being rich to hold in fee. O poor man's son! scorn not thy state; There is worse weariness than thine, In merely being rich and great; Toil only gives the soul to shine, And makes rest fragrant and benign; A heritage, it seems to me, Worth being poor to hold in fee. Both, heirs to some six feet of sod, Are equal in the earth at last; Both, children of the same dear God, Prove title to your heirship vast By record of a well-filled past; A heritage, it seems to me, Well worth a life to hold in fee. James Russell Lowell 1819-1891 LETTY'S GLOBE OR SOME IRREGULARITIES IN A FIRST LESSON IN GEOGRAPHY When Letty had scarce passed her third glad year, And her young artless words began to flow, One day we gave the child a colored sphere Of the wide Earth, that she might mark and know, By tint and outline, all its sea and land. She patted all the world; old Empires peeped Between her baby fingers; her soft hand Was welcome at all frontiers. How she leaped, And laughed and prattled in her world-wide bliss! But when we turned her sweet unlearned eye On our own Isle, she raised a joyous cry,-- "O yes! I see it, Letty's home is there!" And while she hid all England with a kiss, Bright over Europe fell her golden hair. Charles Tennyson Turner 1808-1879 DOVE'S NEST "sylvia, hush!" I said, "come here, Come see a fairy-tale, my dear! Tales told are good, tales seen are best!" The dove was brooding on the nest In the lowest crotch ...

(Two American girls, sojourning with their father at a lit...)
Two American girls, sojourning with their father at a little Dutch watering place, unintentionally become involved in a diplomatic intrigue which threatens the peace of Europe. A situAn American author. Stevenson wrote numerous novels, including four young adult's novels, edited others' works, and created numerous anthologies of verse, familiar quotations, and the like. Many of his anthologies are still in print. Contents The Gloved Hand (1913) That Affair at Elizabeth (1907) The Mystery of the Boule Cabinet: A Detective Story (1911) The Holladay Case (1903) American Men of Action (1913) The Charm of Ireland (1914) The Destroyer: A Tale of International Intrigue (1913) The Girl from Alsace (1915) A Soldier of Virginia (1901) Affairs of State (1906) American Men of Mind (1910) The Holladay Case The story of Miss Frances Holladay begins with a Wall Street mystery, with scenes shifting soon afterward to an ocean steamer, and then to France. This is one of the new and artistic style of detective stories, somewhat in the vein of Conan Doyle. The tale begins with the finding of a New York banker stabbed to death in his office. Suspicion falls on his daughter. A kidnapping and pursuit over seas follow. The story contains a minimum of horror and a maximum of ingenuity. American Men of Action The purpose of this book is "to give the essential facts of American history by sketching in broad outline the men who made that history." It contains chapters on The Beginners; Washington to Lincoln; Lincoln and his successors; Statesmen; Pioneers; Great Soldiers; and Great Sailors. The Destroyer- Mysterious explosions are not all uncommon phenomena. Going back a few years, an event which attracted the attention of the entire word, the sudden blowing up of the French battleship La Liberte has never been cleared up. In a novel of great originality, Mr. Stevenson advances a theory of much plausibility as to the reason for this explosion. The Girl from Alsace (1915) This popular novel has also been made into a plays under the names Arms and the Girl, and Dangerous Ground. Affairs of State (1906)ation, humorous at first, rapidly becomes dramatic, and moves on to a breathless climax. There is also an absorbing, moving love story, in which Cupid, with the aid of American good looks, rules the destinies of England and Germany, and decides the question of the succession to the small but pivotal duchy of Schloshold-Markheim.

Excerpt: ... That very night, while gentle sleep The urchin eyelids kissed, Two stern-faced men set out from Lynn, Through the cold and heavy mist; And Eugene Aram walked between, With gyves upon his wrist. Thomas Hood 1799-1843 THE BALLAD OF READING GAOL 1 He did not wear his scarlet coat, For blood and wine are red, > And blood and wine were on his hands When they found him with the dead, The poor dead woman whom he loved, And murdered in her bed. He walked amongst the Trial Men In a suit of shabby gray; A cricket cap was on his head, And his step seemed light and gay; But I never saw a man who looked So wistfully at the day. I never saw a man who looked With such a wistful eye Upon that little tent of blue Which prisoners call the sky, And at every drifting cloud that went With sails of silver by. I walked, with other souls in pain, Within another ring, And was wondering if the man had done A great or little thing, When a voice behind me whispered low, "That fellow's got to swing." Dear Christ! the very prison walls Suddenly seemed to reel, And the sky above my head became Like a casque of scorching steel; And, though I was a soul in pain, My pain I could not feel. I only knew what hunted thought Quickened his step, and why He looked upon the garish day With such a wistful eye; The man had killed the thing he loved, And so he had to die. Yet each man kills the thing he loves, By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword! Some kill their love when they are young, And some when they are old; Some strangle with the hands of Lust, Some with the hands of Gold: The kindest use a knife, because The dead so soon grow cold. Some love too little, some too long, Some sell, and o...

Excerpt: ... Song: The Owl 1509 Not a bird of the forest e'er mates with him; All mock him outright, by day; But at night, when the woods grow still and dim, The boldest will shrink away! O, when the night falls, and roosts the fowl, Then, then, is the reign of the Hornid Owl t And the Owl hath a bride, who is fond and bold, And loveth the wood's deep gloom; And, with eyes like the shine of the moonstone cold, She awaiteth her ghastly groom; Not a feather she moves, not a carol she sings, As she waits in her tree so still; But when her heart heareth his flapping wings, She hoots out her welcome shrill! 0, when the moon shines, and dogs do howl, Then, then, is the joy of the Hornid Owl! Mourn not for the Owl, nor his gloomy plight! The Owl hath his share of good: If a prisoner he be in the broad daylight, He is lord in the dark greenwood! Nor lonely the bird, nor his ghastly mate, They are each unto each a pride; Thrice fonder, perhaps, since a strange, dark fate Hath rent them from all beside! So, when the night falls, and dogs do howl, Sing, ho ! for the reign of the HornM Owl 1 We know not alway Who are kings by day, But the King of the night is the bold brown Owl 1 Bryan Waller Procter 1787-1874 SONG: THE OWL When cats run home and light is come, And dew is cold upon the ground, And the far-off stream is dumb, And the whirring sail goes round, And the whirring sail goes round; Alone and warming his five wits, The white owl in the belfry sits.

Men of -A ction, the attempt was made to give the essential facts of American history by sketching in broad outline the men who made that history the discoverers, pioneers, presidents, statesmen, soldiers, and sailors and describing the part which each of them played. It was almost like watching a great building grow under the hands of the workmen, this one adding a stone and that one adding another; but there was one great difference. For a building, the plans are made carefully beforehand, worked out to the smallest detail, and followed to the letter, so that every stone goes exactly where it belongs, and the work of all the men fits together into a complete and perfect whole. But when America was started, no one had more than the vaguest idea of what the finished result was to be; indeed, many questioned whether any enduring structure could be reared on a foundation such as ours.
