Ity, had not lost their new power. I was therefore like those who, on
the first Christian Sabbath morning, "departed quickly from the
sepulchre with fear and great joy, and did run to bring his disciples
word." It
is intimated above that the greatest suffering at the death of a friend
does not occur immediately upon the
event. It comes when the world have forgotten that you have cause to
weep; for when the eyes are dry, the heart is often bleeding. There are
hours,--no, they are more concentrated than hours,--there are
moments, when the thought of a lost and loved one, who
has perished out of your family circle, suspends all interest in every
thing else; when the memory of the departed floats over you like a
wandering perfume, and recollections
come in throngs with it, flooding the soul with grief. The name, of
necessity or accidentally spoken, sets all your soul ajar; and your
sense of loss, utter loss, for all time, brings more sorrow with it by
far than
the parting scene. * * * * * She who was the sweet singer of my little
Israel is no more. The child whose sense of beauty made her the swiftest

voice fell to an intimate tone of comradeship; but still I could not
mistake the irony in it. "You listen to me, Kent. There was a time,
years ago, when we were good friends. You liked your young assistant,

mighty influence of the f
by Bledsaw Muldrew
Hern youth is there who has not his 'chances'?--become
garrison-soldiers for life. We love
learning, culture, independence, progress. Year by year sees noble
schools rising among us--schools in which every man's
son may obtain an excellent free education,
and qualify himself for any position in any society. Year by year
sees our manufacturers demanding fresh labor, more talent,
more youth, more energy, and with them sees the condition of the
mechanic becoming more and more ameliorated. Year by year finds the
public lecture and library more used by the workman, and the
masses rising little by little above their post. In short, we belong
to a community
whose conditions are those of refinement and of peace; ours is an
advanced stage of civilization, and it is our duty to maintain this
advance. 'The South' cares nothing for all these things. It 'loathes
the
very name of free schools,' despises
industry and ingenuity, scorns the mechanic, and is altogether, as a
community, behind us: as a merely agricultural
and would-be merely military government, must essentially be.
There are predicaments when the shrewd brute
and cunning brigand has his superior
at a disadvantage. Let the South prolong this contest till its
military social
system acquires sufficient strength, and it will drag us down to its
own wretched lord-and-serf
level. 'To its level!'

New packages up for review
by Rich Mattes
Hi all,
I've got two robotics-related packages up for review:
assimp - Library to import various 3D model formats into applications
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635511
libphidget - Drivers and API for Phidget devices
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635515
Gazebo bundles a copy of assimp, so before I get a Gazebo package in to
Fedora assimp needs to be reviewed and included. I have a package based
on gazebo-0.10.0 ready to go, but release 0.10.0 is pretty unstable and
I don't think it's ready to be included in Fedora in its current state
(i.e. quitting the program causes a segfault every time I run it.) I've
inquired as to when the next release will be, if it's not in the
forseeable future I'll try working with an SVN snapshot. If anyone's
interested in looking at my gazebo packages, I'll put them up on my
fedorapeople account.
libphidget is a driver library to work with phidget devices. Player has
a driver that depends on this library, so once the library is approved
I'll patch Player's buildsystem to find it and include libphidget as a
build requirement.
If anyone has any free time to have a look at either of these, I'd be
grateful. I'm willing to do some review work in return if the packages
aren't too complicated. I've updated the SIG wiki to reflect the fact
that these packages are being considered for review.
Thanks,
Rich

Le use for a name that makes a mouthful, he was known far and wide
under that singularly abbreviated cognomen. The Committee on Sports
connected with Scranton High was a body of seniors appointed by the
students themselves, and given authority
to handle all questions connected with athletics. As a rule, they
carried out their duties in a broad-minded fashion, and not only
merited the confidence of the entire school but also the respect of
the faculty as well. There was considerable anxiety abroad just
at present, because it was well known that the committee had been
discussing the possible
make-up of the baseball

the proud privilege of representing the school that season
in the Three-Town

By one group, and its complete absence
in every other, a proof of a very ancient
origin and of very long-continued modification. And such a positive
structural addition to the organization of the family,
subserving an important function, seems to me alone sufficient to
warrant us in considering the Papilionidae as the most highly
developed portion of the whole
order,
and thus in retaining it in the position which the
size, strength, beauty, and general structure of the perfect insects
have been generally thought to deserve. In Mr. Trimen's paper on
"Mimetic Analogies among African Butterflies," in the Transactions of
the Linnaean Society, for 1868,
he has argued strongly in favour of Mr. Bates' views as to the higher
position
of the Danaidae and the lower grade of the Papilionidae, and has
adduced, among other facts, the undoubted resemblance of the pupa of
Parnassius, a genus of Papilionidae,
to that of some Hesperidae and moths. I admit, therefore, that he has
proved the Papilionidae to have retained several characters
of the nocturnal Lepidoptera which the Danaidae have
lost, but I deny that they are therefore to be considered lower in the
scale of organization. Other characters may
be pointed out which indicate that they are farther removed from the
moths even than
the Danaidae. The club of the antennae is the most
prominent and most constant feature by which butterflies may be
distinguished
from moths, and of all butterflies the Papilionidae have the most
beautiful and most perfectly developed clubbed antennae. Again,
butterflies and moths are broadly characterised by their diurnal and
nocturnal habits respectively, and the Papilionidae, with their close
allies
the Pieridae, are the most pre-eminently diurnal of butterflies, most
of them lovers of sunshine,
and not presenting a single crepuscular species. The great group of
the Nymphalidae, on the other hand (in which Mr. Bates includes the
Danaidae and Heliconidae as sub-families), contains an entire
sub-family (Brassolidae) and a number of gene
