CAPTAIN THE HON. HENRY A. MURRAY, R.N.
Entrance to a Coffee Planter's Residence.

"He gave us only over beast, fish, fowl,
Dominion absolute; that right we hold
By his donation; but man over man
He made not lord."
MILTON.
"Gone, gone—sold and gone,
To the rice-swamp, dank and lone;
There no mother's eye is near them,
There no mother's ear can hear them;
Never, when the torturing lash
Seams their backs with many a gash,
Shall a mother's kindness bless them,
Or a mother's arms caress them."
WHITTIER.
"LA CURIOSIDAD NUNCA SE ENFADA DE SABER."[[A]]
ANTONIO PEREZ
"Oh, give me liberty!
For were even Paradise my prison,
Still I would long to leap the crystal walls."
DRYDEN.
"A happy bit hame this arrld[*] warld wad be,
If men, whan they're here, would make shift to agree,
And ilk said to his neebor in cottage an' hall,
'Come, gie me your hand, we are brethren all.'"
