"I saw the lvlue Rhine sweep along--l heard or seem'd to hear, The German song we used to sing, in churns sweet and clear, And down the pleasant river, and up the slanting hill, The echoing chorus sounded, through the evening calm and still; And her glad blue eyes were on me as we passed with friendly talk, Down many a path beloved of yore, and well remembered walk, And her hand lay lightly, softly, confidingly in mine: But we'll meet no more at Bingen---loved Bingen on the Rhine!" One night a loved one was reading the above pathetic poem--her little six-year old boy melted in tears, and said: "Please, mother, don't read about the poor soldier--it makes me feel so sad!" Oh, the horrors of war--thou 'bane of life and happiness how many mothers hast thou robbed of their darling sons, wives of their husbands, and children of their parents! Every human being that perishes in battle is a violation of the sixth commandment. A friend of mine in Charleston had three sons, boys of whom any mother might well be proud, for they, were younp, I ' men of ' uncommon hriglune.: is and promise. The fund mother had deprived herselfof many a comfort that they might receive a liberal education. The first time I saw the eldest, he brought a letter of introduction from the lamented James L. Petigru, who was a steadfast friend of the family. Mr. Petigru discovered mind and genius in "Charlie Vildwood, " and his kind and benevolent heart was interested in the youth. The truth is, Mr. P.'s heart was always larger than his purse. He was kept poor in helping Others. The three boys wereamong the first to enter the Confederate army. In the memorable battles around Richmond, Captain H., while at the head of his...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Way Round the World Perhaps there is no more fruitful field for the study Of types than the overland train. The young and the Old, the intellectual and the ignorant, he who has been rich, or is, or will be, all fraternize surprisingly. A little company Of souls whose lives are tangent at one point, who eat, drink, and are merry together and whose paths lie in as many directions as the Wind's. The Pullman palace cars are not all the name sug gests. Perhaps the pioneer, who crossed in '58, when Denver was seven days by stage from Quincy, Illinois, would not be so captious a critic, but the majority of end-of - the-century travelers are apt to agree with the man who said he hated to pay such a high price for insomnia. At night the sleeper accumulates such a load Of dust and Cinders that an early morning riser, if a man, is apt to be mistaken for the porter. He, however, has a fair chance of rectifying the mistake, but when the new Woman porter arrives, the women passengers may have to resort to badges for distinction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Impressions of the New World on Two Travellers From the Old in the Autumn of 1858 I dedicate this little book to you; the letters it contains were meant to let you know how your father and I and your brother William fared in a rapid journey, during the autumn of last year, through part of Canada and the United States, and are here presented to you in another form more likely to ensure their preservation. You are not yet old enough fully to understand them, but the time will, I trust, come when it will give you pleasure to read them. I can safely say they were written without any intention of going beyond yourself and our own family circle; but some friends have persuaded me to publish them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Sea to Sea, Vol. 2: And Other Sketches, Letter of Travel Get that girl to give back your gig-lamps, and you will be able to see more clearly into the soul of the Far East. The Far East hasn't got a soul. She swapped it for a Constitution on the Eleventh of February last. Can any Constitution make up for the wear ing of Europe clothes? I saw a Jap lady just now in full afternoon calling-kit. She looked atrocious. Have you seen the later Japanese art - the pictures on the fans and in the shop win dows? They are faithful reproductions of the changed life - telegraph poles down the streets, conventionalised tram-lines, top-hats, and carpet bags in the hands of the men. The artists can make those things almost passable, but when it comes to conventionalising a Europe dress, the effect is horrible. Japan wishes to take her place among civilised nations, said the Professor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Society and Travel It has often been asserted that as long as human beings congregate together like wild beasts at 'feeding times, ' this ago has no right to lay claim to superior civilization, and that it would be an improved manner of life if relays of food could be brought to some particular place at stated times, to which any who chose might resort, As it is an acknowledged fact, that society and conversation are the best promoters of digestion, the plan that these captious people propose would be both unwholesome and unsocial, but it might be advantageously acted upon in the matter of breakfast, for that, as English people ordain it, is decidedly a mistake. 'Breakfast is such a charmingly social meal, ' we heard a lady once say in speaking of a large breakfast in a country-house, 'every one comes down so fresh, everybody is in time, and ready for the duties and pleasures of the day. I consider it a delightful moment.' It was a sentimental and poetical view, but as far as possible removed from the truth; for in our estimation it is a peculiarly unhappy moment, and one in which many persons are prone to regald their fellow-creatures as their natural enemies. When people are hungry and cold it follows as a matter of course that they are cross, and as large parties in country-houses usually occur in the winter, this is tolerably sure to be the case. Shy people, too, are always shy in the morning; they cannot take up life where they left it the night before, or say 'Good-morning' at all in the same happy and friendly spirit in which they said 'Good-night.' People are not ready for social intercourse till they have been up at least three hours. It is quite curious to see how disagreeable really good-humoured people often are before breakfast. They are often conscious of their moroseness, and try to conceal it by utter silence or cynical smiles; but with all their endeavours we are aware that it would be a service of danger to speak to them, and whether it be our most valued friend, or simply a highly agreeable or intellectual acquaintance, we equally hope that it may never be our fate to meet him again at breakfast. Surely it would be a great advantage to the world if these individuals breakfasted alone! Perhaps the most depressing thing we can meet with is anything like hilarity or even great cheerfulness so early in the day. Few things are more trying than the jovial, hearty manner in which the master of the house often enters the room where his guests are assembled in the morning. If in winter, with blue nose and red hands, loud in his praise of the weather (which to our thinking is simply detestable), advising every one to follow his example and take a turn before breakfast: 'Sharpens the appetite; freshens one up; does a world of good.' Take a turn before breakfast that raw January day! you cannot even reply except by drawing closer to the fire, and looking with horror at the freezing fog through the window.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Step From the New World to the Old, and Back Again, Vol. 2: With Thoughts on the Good and Evil in Both The steam er, through some accident, was delayed several hours beyond the appointed time. Passengers were collected in the steamboat office, some seated on chairs, some on trunks, while others were pacing along the wharf chattering and smoking, and endeavorn to wear away the weary time. To me, however, as all was novelty, so nothing was wearisome. At length, over the land in front of us, a little wreath of smoke was seen in the distance: but so numerous are the turns of the river, that it was a considerable time before the pipe came into View, and still a good while ere the low, long, narrow and dark thing came puffing up to the wharf as if tired out with tugging against the current. And so we got aboard amid a promiscuous company, chiefly Hollanders and Germans. The bow of the boat was appropriated to a crowd.

Much of it was written late at night when I was weary and fatigued; I scarcely ever allowed a day to pass without writing up my journal so as to prevent the intervention of new scenes and circumstances modifying, or clouding first impressions.
