such things are like all other forms of human
swindling and dishonesty, found out sooner
or later. Then again, there are men who pick
up loose women and 60 about hotels with
them, thing that nobody knows them or their
company but they soon get undeceived upon
that point by hearing of it in many ways.
You mustn't judge all travellers by the mis-
deeds of few, for no class of men work
harder and more faithfully than theyedo.

DIED AT HIS POST.

A Philadelphia paper tells the following
story OF a car driver in that city who was
frozen to death at his post. If true, it is
singular that no name is given. 1t says:

pilot on the Lake Erie packet, in meeting
death at his post and saving the lives of pas
sengers, was emulated on Saturday MI ht,
during the visit of the polar wave, by dri-

car, and found the driver numb from expo

When the depot was reached he was removed

POEM BY WHITTIER.


[sung at the recent dedication of the Haverhil
Mass Library.l
"LET THERE BE LIGHT" God spake of old
And over Chaos dark and cold,
And through the dead and formless frame
OF Nature, life and order came. @A
Faint was the light at first that shone
On giant fern and mastodon,
On half-formed plant and beast of prey
And man as rude and wild as they.
Age after age, like waves, o'erran
The earth, uplifting brute and man;
And mind at length, in symbols dark,
Its meanings traced on stone and bark.
On leaf of palm, on sedge-wrought roll,
On plastic clay and leathern scroll,
Man wrote his thought; the ages passed,
And 10! the Press was found at last!
Then dead souls woke; the thoughts of mel
Whose bones were dust revived again;
The cloister's silence found tongue, e
Old prophets spake, old poets sung.
And here, to-day, the dead look down,
And kings of mind again we crown;
We hear the sage's word we trace @
The footprints of our human race.
Here Greek and Roman find themselves
Alive along these crowded shelves;
And Shakespeare treads again his stage,
And Chaucer paints anew his age. e
As if some Pantheon's marbles broke
Their stony trance, and lived and spoke,
Life thrills around the allowed hail.
The lords of thought await our call!
