TIE NEGLECTED POET.

tAnonymously published in the Louisville Journal
about 1891
A poet sat musing one night on his stool,
Poor fool on his three legged stool
The cold wind was high and his cold FIRE low,
And closer he crouched with sorrowful Obi
As silently DER it each little coal drew
Its hood OF gray ashes and bade him adieu;
And sad was his musing that night on his stool,
Poor fool on his threelegged stool.
The snow was descending; he heard now and then
Again, and still now and then,
A little lakes foot stepping spitefdlly on
The few Goals as though it wished them all gone;
Twas 80 like the voices Of arrog ant scOrn
Coming sngrily down on the meek and fOrlornl
And sad was his musing that night on his stool,
Poor fool on his three legged btool.
His garret was open, and through the cracks
And talked-thvough every crack walked
The cold cruel winds, that seemed with hiss
ana laugh TO cry out, Here he is, here he is!
Yet thought he not 80 much Of cold winds and
As Of mans icy chsrity, colder than those.
And sad was his musing that night on his STOOL
Poor fool! on his three legged STOOL
In sickness and sorrow he suffered alone,
Unknown, he bore all alone,
And often he turned on his pillow to lean
His thin, fevered cheek where the tears hadn't
But, alas, it was dampened go thoroughly DER
That at last he lay quiet and worried ne more
All, cad was his musing that night on his stool,
Poor fool Oh bis three-legged stool
His sweet songs had moved them, moved many to
tears,
Through years, to joy and to tears,
But there in his garrett so cheerless and dim
None ever came near him to shed one for him;
All cody they passed him, to sneer and reprove,
For he bad no money, and they bad no love.
Full cad was his musing that night on his stool,
Poor fool! on his tbIeelegged stool
Yet still he continued to tune his great heart
Apart, to tune his great heart
In unison with the solemn, sad roar
That ever comes up from times sounding shore;
To brood over nightly, brood over each morrow,
Each poor brothers measure of sadness and sor-
row,
And sad v as his musiHg that night on his stool,
Poor fool on his threelegged stool.

Yet while the cry was on my parched tongue

One voice, and these the cruel words it sung;
To thee was given more, yet hast thou less;

Chippewa county is settling up very
rapidly. A large amount of immigration
has been brought about through the in
fluence of one man, y. w. PicksfOrd. A
little over year ago this gentleman
took tour of inspection through Chip
pewa county, and so well WAS he pleased
that he returned to- his home in Canada
and organized colony to remove upon
some of the choice land that he lad seen.
Something less than ayear ago they
commenced to move upon tie lands Sc
lected, and now the "Picksfcrd settle
mentn numbers one hundred and thirty
eight families. Their settlement is up, n
the Meridian line, about twenty miles
direct south If the Sault. All the avail
able lands for eleven and Il half miles
along this line are now under process OF
Improvement. Mr.. Picksford has now
cleared and under the plow 81 acres, and
some of the other settlers have done near
Iy as we'll. WiIter wheat, of which
quite quantity has been sown, is look
ing remarkably well. The crops which
have been raised this season have shown
that for agricultural purposes the land
cannot be eXcelled. 1t is no longer q
matter of doubt that Chippewa county
will soon rank as one of the best wheat
growing counties itf the state.

The Less of the Huron.

Saturday of last week the United States
man .ot war steamer Huron WAS wrecked
off the North Caroliua coast, near Kitty
Hawk station: Out of crew OF l39 per
sons, only four officers and 81 men were
saved. She had started from Fortress
Monroe for Havana, and was oYertaken
by terrible gale, and struck reef, and
although in sight of signal station,
nothing could be done 10 rescue the
crew, there being no life saving station
in the vicinity manned. The Huron was
built 9t Chester, Pennsylvania, ard was
christened the Alliance, but was after
ward named the Huron. She was a third
rate screw, fiyc hundred and forty-one
tons, and when she went ashore had \
crew of one hundred and nineteen men
and fifteen officers. She carried four
guns and was schooner rugged.

ACCIDENT tho Leviasllan.

Thursday numerous rumors were alloat
in regard tire wrccking tug Leviathan
and the schooner Bridgewater, which she
had in tow. 1t being reported that the
tug was aground, the Bridgcwater sunk,
&c. 1t all grew out of the fact that the
Leviathan had been disabled by an acci-
dent to her machinery, the lifting bolts
of ore of her engines giving way, making
it necessary to send for another tug to
take the schooner in tow. The Andrew
j. Smith was telegraphed tor and Cap
tain MCGOWAN lett this port Thurs
day afternoon fo- False Presque Isle,
where tie Lcviathan was with the
Bridcewater, where she arrived sa ely and
took charge OF the schooner. The I4eyia-
than arrived here early, yesterday morn
ing OH her way to Milwaukee, where she
will have to go into dry'doek TO have the
lining bolts repaired. She LETT here This
morning for that port. Cap:ain Kirkland
said that after he got the tug in condition
il anything needed her assistance he
wouid cone blck.

The last boat of the season, the steam
barge S. E. Sheldon, passed up On the

with some detention, they will all be

The prospects are that the Sanlt will
soon be supplied with lawyers. Mr.. Geo
w. Brown, short time ago, presented
his resignation to the Board of Supervis-
ors because they reduced his salary.
Judge Goodwin has, we understand, APP
pointed young man named Weise, from
Detroit, to fill the vacancy, and that he
will soon arrive here to commence his dn.
ties. This will make three lawyers resi-
dent here.

T, the Editor of the NORTH RN TRIBUNE. ~
| notice the following in your issue OF
the 18th ult.:
1.-The tug A. j. Smith returned from
DetOur yesterday afternoon. Capt. Me-
Gowan reports that they sue .eeded in
patching the Powers SO that she was
pumped out and raised.'
1t is true that the Powers was pumped
out and raised, and that they did it, but
they was not the tug A. j. Smith or Capt
McGowan. The Powers was pumped
out and and raised before the A. j. Smith
arrived, and the work was done by the
wrccking machinery under The charge of
Louis Z. Trcmpe, of this place. The
Pow ers waS patched after she was raised.
and for the patching, the tug A. j. Smith
may have the credit, as it was done by
her diver, and she received pay therefor.
and am willing that credit should be
given where credit is due. However, the
Powers leaked as badly after she was
patched rs before. She was therefore
brought here. and dry docked i'm the
canal. am of the impression that il
Capt. MCGOWAN had seen the patching'
he would have kept so quiet about it that
no notice of it would got into the papers.

you will simply do justice to those who
saved the Powers. JUSTICE.

Gowan. He never claimed any credit
for the Smith having anything to do
with the pumping out of the Powers,
and we cannot see how any such infer
ence was taken from the brief item re-
feired 10 i'll the TRIBUNE. AS to the
manner of patching, we know nothing
about it, but we should think that ouf

an immense sum Of money in
stocks, and $50, 900 in the house.
When the government desired to
borrow large sum Of money from
the immensely wealthy miser, Fos-
cue, he refused the loan on the plea
of poverty. Fearing, however, that
some Of his neighbors, among
whom he was very unpopular,
would report his immense wealth
to the government, he applied his
ingenuity to discover some effectual
way of hiding his gold, should they
institute a search to ascertain the
truth or falsehood Of his plea. With
great care and secresy he dug a deep
cave in his cellar; to this receptacle
for his treasure he descended by a
ladder, and to the trap door he at
tached a spring lock, SO that, on
shutting, it would fasten of itself.
By and by the miser disappeared ;
inquiries were made; the house
searched; woods explored, and the
ponds were dragged, but no Foscue
could they find; and gossips
began to conclude that the miser
had fled with his gold to some
part whore, by living incognito, he
could be free from the hands of the
government. Some time passed on;
the house in which he had lived was
sold, and workmen were busily en-
gagged in its repair. In the progress
of their work they met with the
door of the secret cave, with the
key in the lock outside. They
drew back the door, and descended
with light. The first object upon
which the lamp reflected was the
ghastly body of Foscue, the miser,
and scattered about him were heavy
bags of gold and ponderous chests
of untold treasure; candlestick
lay beside him on the floor. The
whorshiper of mammon had gone
into his cave to pay his deyoirs to
his golden god, and became sacri-
flee to his devotion.
