Crosscut literary magazine Husson College Bangor, Maine 2004 Volume Twelve i Crosscut EDITORIAL STAFF Editors Greg Winston Amanda Kitchen Cover Photo “Rocks” Kathy Wall Crosscut website: http://english.husson.edu/crosscut/ First Edition. Press run of 500 copies; no reprinting is planned. Printed by Fast Forms Printing & Paper, Bangor, Maine. Funded by Husson College. All rights to individual works are retained by their authors. For permission to reprint, contact the authors and artists directly. Address all correspondence and submissions (up to three poems, three drawings or photographs, or prose selections up to 5,000 words) to Editorial Staff, Crosscut magazine, Department of English, Husson College, One College Circle, Bangor, ME 04401. ii Preface The mere thought of spring brings to mind together- ness and renewal. Rivers of melting snow and ice form tributaries, finding each other and crossing paths, flow- ing together to free themselves from their stagnant form. The once-frozen paths weaving throughout our Maine woods shed their white armor, heartedly inviting pairs of treaded footprints to meet along their crossing journeys. Gloves and mittens are tossed in the closet for another year, allowing loved ones to entwine their hands into one another’s as they venture out into the fresh new season. Over the years, Crosscut has become a powerful symbol of spring in just this light. The poetry, prose, and imagery in each of its contributor’s art flows together, melting movement and life into the freshly printed pages. Its readers, in turn, breathe in each stir of emotion and new image formed, feeling renewed and refreshed.

A hurricane roared and raged through the night. And in the middle of the chaos, a cargo ship was sinking down down down to the ocean floor. The ship left hundreds of crates floating on the surface. But as the hurricane thrashed and swirled and knocked them around, the crates also began sinking into the depths. One after another, they were swallowed up by the waves, until only five crates remained. By morning the hurricane was gone. There were no clouds, no ships, no land in sight. There was only calm water and clear skies and those five crates lazily bobbing along an ocean current. Days passed. And then a smudge of green appeared on the horizon. As the crates drifted closer, the soft green shapes slowly sharpened into the hard edges of a wild, rocky island. The first crate rode to shore on a tumbling, rumbling wave and then crashed against the rocks with such force that the whole thing burst apart.

Part II._ <dedication> TO MARY MONICA HOPE SCOTT OF ABBOTSFORD THIS EDITION OF THE NOVELS OF HER GREAT-GRANDFATHER WALTER SCOTT IS DEDICATED BY THE PUBLISHERS. <advertisement> ADVERTISEMENT. In printing this New Edition of the Waverley Novels, the Publishers have availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded them of carefully collating it with the valuable interleaved copy in their possession, containing the Author's latest manuscript corrections and notes; and from this source they have obtained several annotations of considerable interest, never before published. As examples of some of the more important of these may be mentioned the notes on ``High Jinks'' in Guy Mannering, ``Pr<ae>torium'' in the Antiquary, and the ``Expulsion of the Scotch Bishops'' in the Heart of Midlothian. There have also been inserted (within brackets) some minor notes explanatory of references now rendered perhaps somewhat obscure by the lapse of time. For these, the Publishers have been chiefly indebted to Mr. David Laing, Secretary of the Bannatyne Club, and one of the few surviving friends of the Author.

THIS edition of Henderson's Proverbs contains the whole of Henderson's Collection, without diminution or addition. The arrangement has been improved by alphabetising the entries under each heading, and explanatory notes, many of which are o taken from Kelly, are added to such proverbs as seemed CO ^ to call for them.

IT is so long since a collection of onr national proverbs, of similar extent to the present, has been given to the public of Scotland, that we believed it might have been welcomed by our countrymen, although the formality of a preface, bespeaking their kind attention to its merits, had been dispensed with. Deferring, however, to the v/ishes of the ingenious and laborious author,—who, in the matter of books, as well as other things, objects to any violent departure from established usage,—the following preliminary observations have been drawn up, which the reader may or may not peruse^ just as he has a mind.

  • An Eye for an Eye by Clarence Darrow
    BIG BLUE ROOK NO. Edited by E. Haldeman-Julius B-24 An Eye for an Eye Clarence Darrow MALDEMAN-JULIUS COMPANY GPRARD, KANSAS 4 An Eye for an Eye keep it hidden from his friends. Hank really did not want to go to the jail to see Jim; somehow it seemed as if it was not the same fellow that he used to know so well, and then he was afraid and nervous about talking with a man who was going to be hanged next day. But the priest said so much that finally Hank's mother told him she thought he ought to go. So he made up his mind that he would stand it, although he was a great deal more afraid and nervous than when he was turning switches in the yard. After the priest left the house Hank went down to the alderman and got a pass to go inside the jail. He always went to the alderman for everything; all the people thought that this was what an alderman was for and they cared nothing about any- thing else he did. When Hank got down town he went straight across the Dearborn Street bridge to the county jail. It was just getting dusk as he came up to the great building. The jail did not look a bit like a jail. It was a tall grand building, made of white stone, and the long rows of win- dows that cover the whole Dearborn Street side looked bright and cheerful with the electric lights that were turned on as Hank came up to the door.
