rhc Poet Whittier Confused.

An amusing story is told of the poet
Whittier, who is as modest as he is gifted
He was in the city not long since, and
went to hear Rev. Z. II. Chaplin speak and
lecture somewhere up town. The clergy
man was eloquent, as usual his discourse,
intelarded with high-wrought passages OF
rhetoric, closed with a stirring poetical
quotation, so we'll delivered that the Qua
ker bard applauded with the rest. Some
one sitting next to him inquired: do you
know, Mr.. Whittier, who is the author of
that extract" mo, do not. 1t sounds
familiar, and like the sentiment" Why,
the lines are yours, Mr.. Whittier. You
must remember them. They are from your
famous anti-slavery odes.r $50 they are, 4"
said Whittier, after a little reflection, and
blushing like schoolgirl caught reading
her first love-letter. II really did not re-
call them. Indeed, they sounded so much
better than they ever sounded before, that
it is not strange l failed to recognize
them" The poet, thoroughly sincere,
did not recover for some time from the en-
barrassment OF outwardly acclaiming his
own composition, but has now come to re-
gard it as SO good a joke that he tells it
himself.

Arrest of COunterrelters-They Escape,

DANDRDGE, TENN, Sept %, 1878.
EDITORS CHRONICLES: Two men were
arrested here last Saturday, on charge
of passing counterfeit money. They gave
their names as Daniel Shuts and Louis
Williams. They had hearing before
Esqr. Holtsinger, who bound them TO
court and ordered them to Seviervtlle to
Jail. Deputy Sheriff Webb, who made the
arrest turned them over to Deputy Sheriff
Rainwater for safe delivery at Sevierville.
They seemed SO innocent and gentle that
they were not bound in chains, as were
the prisoners of Chillon, so the first good
opportunity that offered they concluded
they would give bail rather than go to Jail.
So Mr.. Leg came to their relief and they
gave what is known as leg bail, and are
again at large. 1t is presumed that the
banks of Jetfercon, Cooke and Sewer will
resume payment again under the charge of
Messrs. Williams and Shuts. The proof
shows that they We're dealing in various
denominations of counterfeit currency
ranging from fifty cents.to fifty dollars.

What The Leaf Does.

1t pumps water from the ground, through
tree, and sends it into the atmosphere in
the form of unseen mist, to be condensed
and fall in showers; the very water that,
were it not for the leaf, would sink into the
Garth and find it's way, perchance, through
subterranean channels, to the sea. And
thus it is that we see that it works to give
us the 'early and latter rain" 1t works
to send the rils and streams, like lines of
silver, down the mountains and across the
plain. 1t works to pour down the large
brooks which turn the wheels that ener-
gize the machinery which gives employ
ment TO millions-commerce stimulated
and wealth accumulated, and intelligence
disseminated through the agency of this
wealth. The leaf does it all.

THn SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD

As illustrative OF the temper Of the
American pulpit of Mr.. jefferson s day,
Mr.. Parton tells this story OF DR.. John Ma
son, who was then the sensational preacher
of New York: An interesting character
was this DIR. Mason, II we may believe the
anecdotes still told of him by old inhabi-
tants OF New York. What scene must
that have been when he paused in the midst
of one Of his rousing Fast Day sermons,
and raising his eyes and hands to heaven,
burst into imprisoned supplication:
"Send US, if Thou wilt, murrain upon our
cattle, famine in our land, Cleanliness of
teeth in our borders; send us pestilence to
waste our cites; send us, if it please Thee,
the sword to battle itself in the blood Of
our souls; but spare US, Lord God most
merciful, spare US that curse-most dread
full of all curses-an alliance with Napo-
leon Bonaparte." An eyewitness reports
that as the preacher uttered these words,
with all the energy Of frantic apprehen
sion, the blood gushed from his nostrels.
He put his handkerchief to his face with
out knowing what he did, and, instantly
resuning his gesture, held the bloody
handkerchief aloft, as II it were the SYM
Dol Of the horrors aforesaid. To such a
point, in those simple old days, could
campaign falsehood madden able and good

HOME CIRCLE.
JOHN HOWARD PAYNE.


Mr. Ohm G. sazes ode at the dedication Of the Pnyn
Monument
To him who sang or"Home sweet home"
In strains so sweet the simple lay
Has thrilled million hearts, we come
A nations grateful debt to pay.
Yet, not for him the bust we raise,
All, no can liieless lips prolong
Fames trumpet voice The poets praise
Lives in the music of his song
The noble dead we fondly seek
To honor with applauding breath
Unheeded fall the words we speak,
Upon "the dun cold ear Of death
Yet. not in vain the spoken word;
Not vain the monument we raise;
With quicker throbs our hearts are stirred
To catch the nobleness we praisel
III,
Columbia's sons-we share his fame;
It's for ourselves the bust we rear
That they who mark the craven name
May know that name TO us is dear;
Dear as the home the exile sees
The fairest spot beneath the sky
Where, frst-upon mothers knees
He slept and where he yearns to die.
".
But not alone the lyric FIRE
Was his; the Dramas muse can tell
His genus could Kean inspire;
A Kemble owned his magic spell;
A Keen, to "Brutus," self so true
AS true TO Art and Natures laws,
He seemed the mau the poet drew
And shared with him the towns applause.
Kind hearts and brave, with truth severe
He drew, unconscious, from his own;
o nsture rare But pilgrims here
Will onnest say, in psnsive tone,
With reverent face and lifted hand,
Twas he-by Fortune forced to roam
Who, homeless in foreign land,
So sweetly sang the joys of home.
