poc,ry..-A new volume from whittier.

P0PHrNss-A
one of the most welcome announcements in
the literary world, is that of fresh volume
from Mr.. Whittier. The peculiar and personal
esteem in which he is held by the American peo-
Pile lends special attraction to everything he
writes, and gives an almost religious tone to the
gratitude with which his works are received and
read. His new poem, which names the forth
canning volume is entitled "The Penns yiyania
Pilgrim"
In this charming pastoral poem Mr.. Whittier
does for PENNSYLVANIA and its Quaker coohists a
friendly service much like that whlch,in SNOW
bound he did for New England and lts rural
life of half century ago. 1he honesty smpli-
city, tolerance, and daily goodness OF the Friends
are depicted in glowing colors, especially as
these were signally displayed in the life and la
bors of Francis Daniel Pastoiius His sturdy
virtues and rare graces, the wide ana shlutarE
influence he CXerted, and the domestic beauty
of his home-ife are portrayed with loving admi-
ration by Mi. Whittier, whose profound sympathy
with the character, labors and spirit of Pastorlns
Lindle him to his mobiles and deepest strain. lie

Time to Plant Dogs.

Farmer Greeley says this is the sea-
son to plant dogs. The seed may be
prepared either with a button or q
blacksmith's hammer, as most convent
ent. Make an excavation about two
feet deep; plant the animal with his feet
upward; cover with friable earth and
keep down weeds. About September
the bologna vine will come up, and
should be trained on poles. The bologna
will grow in links, longer or shorter ac-
cording to variety, and in November
may be gathered. 1t is better however
to. let the fruit hang on the tree and cut
it off fresh as it is wanted. The fines
favor is obtained by smoking the seed
by dogwood fire before planting ant
putting the salt and pepper in the hill
Care should be taken not to injure tn,
bark of the bush when young.

Competition,

They who are successful in business,
who achieve greatness, notoriety in any
pursuit, must expect to make enemies
So prone to petty jealousies and sordid
envy is poor human nature, that who
ever becomes distinguished is sure tC
become a mark for the malicious spite
of fthose who not deserving success
themselves, are enviOus of the merited
triumph of the more worthy. More
over the opposition which originates in
such despicable motives is sure to be Of
the most unscrupulous character; hest.
tating at no iniquity, descending to the
shabbiest littleness. Opposition, if il
be honest and manly, is not in itself un
desirable. The competitor i'm life
struggles who is true mettle deprecate
not opposition of an honorable charac
ter, but rather rejoices in it. 1t is onl.
injustice and meanness he deprecates
and it is this which the successful mus
meet, proportioned in bitterness often
times to the measures of success whicl
excites it.

For the REPUBLICAN.
AT EVEN-TIDE.
BY EDWARD d. CLAIMING.

When the busy day is DER,
When the stiiled wave beats no more,
When the moon dispels the night
With her siiyery beams of light;
by the cool graves dark rcpose,
BY the stream which ripping goes,
BY the silent, rugged shore
Where the stilied wave beats no more,
'Tis there love to sit,
At even-tide.
Thinking of the olden times,
Thinking of the oiden rhymes,
Thinking Of the loved ones gone,
Full many, many years agone;
or their words of kindness spoken,
OF their deeds of love the token,
Of their fame recorded bright
In characters Of living light
'Tis there love to sit and think,
At even tide.
Hoping for happy meeting,
Hoping for Il heavenly greeting,
Hoping for unbroken rest
In the City of the Blessed;
Where no tears of sorrow come,
Where they need no light Of sun,
Where the streets are paved with gold,
Where are pleasures far untold,
'Tis thus L love To sit, and think and hope,
At even-tide.
Dreaming Of unfading flowers,
Dreaming OF celestial bowers,
Dreaming of unbounded bliss
Awaiting there the child Of God;
Whose Joyous eye shall never dim.
Whose harp shall ever praises sing,
Whose golden crown shall always shine,
With CLEANS unborrowed from the mine.
'Tis thus love to sit, and think, and hope
and dream,
At eyen-tide.

A CUriOSity.

Mr.. H. H. Miller handed lis the other
day piece of wood that came from the
heart of large oak tree nearly feet in
diameter. 1t bears the distinct marks
Of an axe, as though 1t had been cut in
to when quite small sapling. The
bark is yet plainly visible. The piece
dropped out of a board after the log
was sawed, and was nearly two feet
from the outer part of the tree. By
calculating how long it would take an
oak to grow that immense size, we might
approximate the time when the cutting
was done. 1t must have been done long
before the first white settlers arrived in
Holmes county.
