HOW LoNGFELLow GOT his WIFE.

1t has often been said that in Hyperion
are to be found the leading incidents Of
The authors life, that it will not be out
of place if we insert here the general be-
lief of his readers. There is something
romantic in it. The Dublin University
Magazine, in a review of Mr.. Longfel-
lows work sIys:
"With Hyperion. the public have been
for some time familiar but it is not
generally known that in this exquisite
little story are shadowed forth the lead.
ing incidents of the poets life. and that
he himself is the hero of his own ro-
nance. We shall give the facts as they
have come to our knowledge. and We
are assured that they will not fail to in.
tereSt our readers:
About the year 1887, Longfellow be-
ing engaged in making the tour Of Eu-
rope, selected Heidelberg for perma-
nent winter residence. There his wife
was attacked with an illness which ul-
timateIy proved fatal. 1t so happened,
however, that some time afterward,
there came 10 the same romantic place,
a young lady of considerable personal
attraction. The poets heart was touched
he became attached to her, but the
beauty of sixteen did not sympathize
with the poet of six and thirty. and
Longfellow returned to America, having
lost his heart as well as his wife. The
young lady, also. an American. returned
home shortly afterward. Their residen-
ces, it turned out, were contiguous, and
the poet availed himself of the opportu-
nifty of prosecuting his addresses. which
he did for considerable time, with no
better success than al first. Thus failed,
he set himself down, and instead, like
Petrarch. of laying seige to the heart of
his mistress through the medium of son
nets, he resolved to write a whole book
"a book which would achieve the
double object of gaining her affect ons.
and establish his own fame. Hyperion
was the result
His laborS and his constancy was not
thrown away-they met their rdue uereward.
The lady gave him her hand as well as
her heart and the now reside together

Washington made his head quarters when

the poets early disappointment and sOr-

APROEESrANTCO COW.

An Irishman, who is the proprietor OF
boardin. shanty on the c. o. Rail-

he arrived at The door Of the shanty, his

"Sure, 1 go; her Of Mr.. H."

Pat; SO without relinquishing his hold Of
the brute he held out his hand to receive
the holy water. and poured it on the
animals back; making also the accus-

1t so happened that the old woman
handed him by mistake bottle of yilriol,

ssionished that the COW should vince un.

FRANCES BROWN.

Is IT GOMEZ they said on tae hanks Of Nile.
Who looked for the worlds long-promi.ed day,
And saw but the strife Of Egypt's toll.
With the desert sands and the granite gray.
From pyramid, temple, and treas lred dead
We ysinly ask for her Nisdom's plan;
They tell of the slave and tyrant's dread p
Yet there was hope when that day began.
The Chaldee came with his starry lore,
That built up Balylon's crosn and creed;
And bricks were stamped on the Tigris' shore
With signs which our ssges scarce can read.
From Minus tsHple AMI Nimroi's tower
The rule of the old Easts empire spread,
Unreasoning faith and unquestioned power
But still. Is it comet the watcher said.
The light of The Persian's Torshirped fane
On ancient bondage its spleudor threw;
And once on the West sunrise came,
When Greece to her freedoms trust was true
With dreams to the utnost ages dear,
With human gods and with gOdlike men,
No marvel the far Of day seemed near
To those Eho looked through her laurels then.
The Roman conquered and revelled. too,
Till homer and faith and power were gone;
As wave after wave the Goth cane on
The gOEn was learning, the sword was law,
The people served in the oxen's stead;
But ever some CLEAN the watcher saw,
And evermore, Is it comet they said.
Poet and Seer that question caught
Above the dia Of life's fears and frets;
Itmarched Ti.h letters-it toiieI with thought,
Thro' schools and creeds which the earth lorgets;
And statesmen trifie. and priests deceive,
And 4 adesmea harter our world away;
Yet hearts to ;nat golden promise cleave,
And still, at times, Is it comet they say.
The days of the nations bear no trace
or all the sunshine so far ioretold;
The cannon speaks in Ih= Teachers place
The age is weary with work and gold =
And high hopes Wither aud memories wzne-
On heartiIs and altars the fires are dead,
Aud that brave faith hath not lived in vain
And this is all oGr Watcher said.

at leasf, you have overreached your
self"
John Tatnall shrank away in the
house, and he had a bitter pill to suck
upon.
The two young men returned to ST.
mon WinthOrp's house, and informed
him that they should accept the offer
so papers were at once made Out. and
"Me>srs. Farnsworlh, Ridglcy & Win
horp," commenced in good earnest
The sawmill was commenced upon i'm
mediately, and at the same time men
were set al work cutting the canal.
No less than eighty men were thus EN-.
ployed, and the ''sIore" was built at
once. The greater part OF those men
took pay for their work in land, reserv-
ing only enough timber on it for their
own building purposes, and by the next
summer those of them who had families
moved in,
The grist-mill was put up in due time,
and by the second autumn. quite a vii
lage of snug warm huts had gone up.
After this, the colony fourished and
grew. Great numbers of hands were
employed during the winter in telling
lumber, and when it was sawed it could
be rafled and run out to sea by the high
tides of the spring and fall ! Those who
came to cut lumber, saw the nature Of
the soil when the snow was gone-and
they took up lots for farms.
AT the end of eight years. the wilder
ness was chan ed into a village, and
Messrs. Farnsworth, Ridsley & Win
thOrp were wealthy and respected. A
fOurishing village had grown up about
them-their three mills were in opera
ticn-their store did good business and
their land was continually yielding them
immense profits. A school house had
been put up or three years, and that
fall saw the finishing touches put upon
handsome church.
And where was John Tatnall all this
while ? He still lived up n his farm
seven miles up the river, and he had
grown poor in flesh almost to a skeleton.
His power Of pinching his neighbor was
gone, for no one was now OBJ iged to do
business with him. He saw that village
grown up, and he saw pcor, honest VIM
thorp become wealthy and respected
and he knew that all this might have
been upen his own land, if he had been
an honest, honorable man. But it was
too late now. He could only look upon
his own wilderness and then upon the
smiling lands of his neighbors, and the
canker ate into his soul, and made him
miserable. In time the settlement ex-
tended up the river, and the stout trees
of John Tatnall's land began to give
place to houses, barns, and farms, but
he did not live to see it or profit by it.
His chagrin and envy had killed him;
and in the last hour the man who had
all his fe time, made it rule to over
reach all whom he had dealings with,
was himself overreached by that power,
against which art of earth cannot pre-
vail

TIE MILL PRIVILEGE.
A TALE WITH AN INSTRUCTIVE MORAL


In one of the new towns of Maine
some thirty years ago, lived a mar
named John Tatnall He was close
fsled, digging man, and never sclupleC
to make the bes. end of bargain at al
points within allowance of written law
He never hesitated to MAKE capital o
other peoples necessit es, and any even
that could pu a dollar into his till, wa.
al right to him. Once neighbor los
fine OK. just at a time when be was il
the midst of fulfilling a contract for cut
ting down and hauling oul lumber. The
contract was worth thousand dollars,
and he was to forfeit one-half of it if he
did not have all the logs in the river be-
fore The snow melted in the spring The
loss of his best OK would ruin him if he
could not make his place good. He
knew that Tatnall had plenty of oxen,
and he went to him and stated his case
Now Tatnall had a number of odd oxen
which he had bought 70 place in drove,
which he meant TO drive 10 market, 50
he could have sold one OK just as well
as not. But he saw his neighbor's ne
cesslty, and he meant to profit by it.
He would not sell unless he sold pair.
and not then without an enormous nrice.
The poor lumberei begged and entreated,
but il was of no avail. There was nol
another OK 10 be bought for miles and
miles around, for Mr.. Tatnall had bought
them all up. The peighbor could not
allow his work TO lie still. so he paid
TAtnalI full double what the oxen were
worth and took them away.
Then it vas that he happened to think
of his odd OK. He knew Twas by far
better tl.an either of those he had bought
of Tatnall, and he drove it over to tie
cattle dealers to sell it, as he had ne
use for it. Tatnal offered him twenty
dollars iOr il-ju>t one-fifth of what he
had obtained 70, the yoke he had sold.
We viii not tell all the conversation and
bantering that followed, but suffice il 10
say that Tatnall got the OK. and that in
the end he made a profit of just seventy
five dollars out of his poor hard working
neighbOr
That was the character of the man,
and all his neighbors knew it. Yet he
was respected. for he had money, and
many people depended ON him for work,
though their pittance for such work was
beggariy in The extreme. Mr.. Tatnal +,
fam was situated upon quite iarge
river. and he owned 70 great extent on
both sides oft Wi IN be bought there,
he had some faint idea that al some fu-
ture time tiere would be a mill put up
there, and thus greatly enhance the
value Of his LOT, for there was quite a
fall in the river where he owned, and a
most excellent mill privilege was thus
offered. Bul he never built mill, for
he had not the money to spare, nor had
be The energy. About two years pre-
Tious to the opening Of our story, some
men had come 10 examine the fall of the
river. and they talked CT buying and
building extensive mill works. Tainall
knew that if such was done. the value
of all the good land about him would be
advanced, and he bought up all lie

THE LORDS PRAYER-ANECDoTE
OF BOOTH, THE GREAT TRACE
DIAN.

Booth, and several friends had been
invited to dine at an old gentleman's in
Baltimore. of distinguished kindness,
urbanity and piety. The host, though
disappearing of theatres and theatre
going, had heard so much of Booths re-
markable powers, that his curiosity to
see the man, had in this instance over
come all his scruples and prejudices.
After the entertainment was over, lamps
lighted, and the company seated in the
drawing-roum, some one requested
Booth. as a particular favor. and one
which all present would appreciate, to
repeat the Lords Prayer. Booth ex-
pressed his willingness to afford them
this qualification, and all eyes were
turned expeclant upon him. Booth rose
slowly and reverently from his chair.
1t was wonderful to watch the play of
emotions thatconvulsed his countenance.
He became deadly pale. and his eyes
turned, trembling upwards, wet with
tears. As yet he had not spoken. The
silence could be felt. 1t became abso-
lutely painful. until the spell was bro-
ken as if by an electric shock, as his
richtoned voice, from his white lips,
syllabled forth, sour Father, who art
in Heaven, etc., with a pathos and
perfect solemnity that thrilled all hearts.
He finished. The silence continued.
Not voice was heard nor a muscle
moved in his wrapt audience. until from
q remote corner of the room, subdued
sob was heard, and the old gentleman
(their host, stepped forward with
streaming eyes and lettering frame, and
seized Booth by the hand. -
"Sir,' said he, in broken accents,
"you have afforded me pleasure for
which my whole future life will feel
grateful. l am an old man, and every
day, from my bOyhood to the present
time, 1 thought had repeated the
Lords Prayer, but have never heard
it before, never
:" You are right, replied Booth, :" to
read that prayer as it should be read has
cost me the severest study and labor for
thirty years, and am far from being
yet satisfied with my rendering of that
wonderful production. Hardly one per-
son in ten thousand comprehends how
much beauty, tenderness and grandeur,
can be condensed in space so small
and in words so simple. The prayer Of
itself sufficiently illustrates the truths Of
the Bible. and stamps uponit the seal of
divinity"
So great was the effect produced,
(says our informant, who was present.
that conversation was sustained but
short time longer, in monosy llables. and
almost entirely ceased and soon after,
at an early hour, the company broke up.
and retired to their several homes with
sad faces and full hearts. .e
