From the Cell to the Pulpit.

A FEW weeks ago the local editor Of one of
our city papers, on visiting the cells OF the
Ninth street station house, fell into conver-
sation with a poor fellw who had been sen
fenced to three days Imprisonment for drunk
enness. To his surprise, he found theman to
be a person Of superior education, acquainted
with the classic and modern languages and
possessed of great natural powers. Plying
his state, he procured the release Of the man,
who was a stranger in the city, took him to
his own house fed and clothed him, and prom
ised him a home until he could find some en-
ployment A few days passed by, when one
morning the local editor discovered that five
dollar bin had mysteriously disappeared from
his pantaloons pocket during the night, which
led to the dismissal of the accomplished stran-
ger. The unfortunate fellow hung about the
city for some weeks, a woe-begone, wretch
ed looking object when his attention was call
LED to an advertisement III paper for pastor
to a church in a small town in this State. He
had studied theology, but was not believer
in the tenets of tie church in question; how
ever, he became a candidate for the sacred Of
fee. There were other candidates and on
different days they preached before the con
gregation. The late tenant Of the Ninth
street cells was the last to exhibjtll powers
he preached, and with such JUNCTION that he
was at once chosen as the most able, pure and
pi0us of all the. competitors. lie had good
testimonials, given in former days-some o.
them in Latin, too, to show. The eongrcga-
ton was satisfied; and now the man who was
sentenced to three days Imprisonment fol-
drunkenness-whow was so closely associated
in the mind Of his benefactor with the disap-
pearance Of a five dollar bill; and who was SC
well acquainted with the interior of Cincin-
natl drinking saloons, is shepherd, divulg-
ing to the faithful 'the word of life" Strange
as the narrative may appear, we know it to
be true.-Cin. Tsmes.

Again, we learn that in western city, a

enough-was Florence Percy, is gratifying a
desire for literary honors by claiming this po-

The true history of the poem may be given
in few words. It was written by Mrs.
Akers in Rome, during her visit 70 that city a
few years since, and sent to friend in this
city, who caused it to be published in the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post, in which
paper it FIRST appeared in print. It is not to
be found in Mrs. Akers's volume Of poems as
it was written some years after the book was
published.-P0ytlaad Transcript

Story of a Poem.

Few poems of the present time have had
wider circulation than the beautiful lines OF
Mrs Akers-more widely known under the
nom de plume of Florence Percy-entitled
"Rock Ne to Sleep, Mother" They have
been published by nearly every newspaper in
the land, printed in books, set to music, and
sung and recited in thousands Of households.
The sentiment they breathe Of a longing for a
mothers care and return to the unburdened
hours Of childhood comes home to the hearts
of all who have experienced-and who has
not?-the heart-aches of this weary world.
Like most poems which have attained a
wide newspaper circulation these verses have
met with variety ofadventures and mishaps.
They have, in some instances, been shorn OF
their fair proportions, in others laid claim to
by ambitious aspirants for poetical honors, and
again have had appendedto them a romantic
history quite sufficient on which to found a
three volume novel, An instance Of the lat
ter kind we find in the Narced Banner, Cali
