Tie following is from lecture delivered q
few days ago in Boston, by James T. Field,
upon the subject Of Longfellow's poetry:
| Itis always interesting 10. know under
what circumstances poet has Trained an inn
mortal poem or sonnet II song. As happen
to know something Of The origin and birth Of
many of Longfellov . poems, lot me divulge
4 few secrets in regard to.theu. The Psalm
81 Life came into existence on a bright sum-
mer morning in July, 1881. in Cambridge, az
the poet sat between two windowsat the small
table in the cefnerof his chamber. 1t was a
voice from his inmost heart, ana he kept it
some time in manuscript, unwilling to part
with it. IT expressed his own feelings at that
time. when he was rallying from the depres-
sion Of deep affiictioa, and he hid the poem
in his own heart for many months. He was
accused Of taking the famous verse, " ART is
long and time is fleeting," from Bishops po-
EN-, but happened to know that was not in
his mind, and that thought came to him with
as much freshness and oyiginality as if nothing
h lad been written before. There is reaper
whose name is death,s' crystalized at once,
without effort in the poets mind, and he
swfote it down rapidly, with tears Filling his
eyes as hes composed it, . The Light Of the
Stars" was composed as the poet looked out
upon q calm and beautiful summer evening,
exactly suggestive Of the poem. The moon,
little strip Of silver, was just setting behind
Mount Aubufn, and Mars was blazing In the
south. That fine ballad, 1.-THE Wreck of the
Hcsperus, was written in $780, 4 violent
storm had occurred the night before, aud as
the poet sat smoking his pipe about midnight
by the fire, the wrecked Hesperus came sail
into his mind. He went to bed but the poem
had seized him, and he could not sleep. He
got up and wrote the celebrated verses
"Thc clock was striking three" he said,
"when / finished the last stanza.' 1t did
not come into his mind by lines but byiwholc
stanzas, hardly causing him an effort, but
flowing without let or hindrancc.
One of the best known Of all Longfellow's
h ortcr poems is /" Excelsior. y The word hap

ing, in 1S4l, sona torn piece of newspaper, and
straghtway hisimagination took fire at it,
iaking the lirst piece OF paper at hand, which
happened to be the back of a letter received
that night from Charles Sumner I.ongfellow
crowded it with verses. As first written
DOM, Excelsior " differs from the perfected
2hd published poem but it shows on its orig
inal conceptions rush and glow worthy the
theme and the author. On i summer after
noon lin is40, as Inc was riding on the beach
"The Skeleton in Armor, " rose as out of the
deep before him, and would not be laid The
story Of " Evengeinc T" was first suggested tc
Hawthorne by a friend who wished him t.
found romance upon it. Hawthorne did
not quite coincide with the idea, and handed
the theme to Longfellow, who saw at once
all the essential qualities OF decpand tender
idyl.

NAPOLEON IND JosEpuIxE.

"A lady correspondent discusses in the
February Lippincott the relations of Jose.
phine and Napoleon. She thinks that jose
phine will be immortal in tile hearts of wo-
men by the triple appeal of moral excellence,
intense suffering, and heroic submission to
her fate. She married Bonaparte in 1906,
being then thirty years old and he twenty
seven. The marriage was q fortunate one for
him, as his own words testify. "The cir
cumstance Of my marriage with Madame de
Beasharnais," hes avs, ssplaced me on a
proper footing with the party necessary ia
my plan of fusion, one Of the frst principles
Of my administration.

with this idea: 81 win only battlcs-SJo lose.

It was a proud boast Of Josephine that she
never kept any one waiting half a minute
where punctuality depended upon herself |;
but this quality Of refined breeding was
signally wanting Napoleon. Wllea tlle.es-
tablishesi hour for dinncr at Mssl,naison was
sixo'clock, and, though etiquette forbade any
one to approach the table before the an
nouncement of the head Of the house, he often
failed to appear before seven, eight, or even
ten o'clock. a chicken or some other article
was placed on the spit every fifteen minutes
by order of the cook, who knew well the
habits OF the Emperor. The table manners
II Napoleon may have been those of the
hero; they were certainly anything but those
of the gentleman. He completed the process
Of cramming--it could scarcely DO called eat
ing-in six or seven minutes, as rule. Ia.
noring the use of knives and forks as re-
garded his own plate, he did not stop there,
but ..helped himself with his fingers from the
dishes nearest him, and dipped his bread in
the gravy Knowing tho time necessary
for the Emperor to dine, the shrewdcs ones
took care to dine in advance. Josephine
once confessed this at the dinner table, much
to the amusement of the Emperor. The
Empress always quilted the tatie with
Napoleon, but, with her never-failing con-
sideation for the comfort of others, she com.
manded the rest, by . gesture. as she rose, to
remain.

Reports were Ieceived from 10 OF the inter-
nal revenue districts into which the state Is
divided. The reports showed a decrease OF
597 saloons and seven distilleries. Thirteen
districts reported the amount collected on
distilled and fermented liquors from May to
July, 1874, as S174,7O7 less than the collec-
tons during the same period of the proceed

of the weapon is placed on a piece of rock at

APOLOGY FOR HAVING LOVED BEFORE.

They that never had the use
OF the grapes surprising juice,
To the first delicious cup
All their reason render up;
Neither do nor care TO know,
Whether IL be best or no.
20 they that are to love inclined,
Sway'd by chance, nor cholce' OF ai''
To the first that's fair or kind,
Make a present of their heart:
lis not she that first we love,
But whom dying we approve
To man that was in tn evening MADE
stars gave the first delignt;
Admfrfng in the gloomy shade
Those little drops of light.
Then. at Aurora, " hose fair hand
Removed them from the skies,
He gazing toward the east did stand,
She entertained his eyes.
But when the bright sun did appear,
All these he gan despise;
His wonder was determine lhere,
And could no higher rise.
He neither might nor wished 10 know
A more refulgent light;
For that las mine your beauties now
Employed his utmost sight.
