Severe on the Poet.

The poet Longfellow, although
naturally Of most amiable dispo-
sition, especially under the assaults
made upon his time and privacy
by simple curiosity and literary
lion hunters, who have no possible
claim upon him, would be little
short of saint, il he we're not
sometimes annoyed by the peril
nacity of unlimited guests. Take
for illustration two instances:
Three ladies, two from Chicago
and one from Milwaukee. entirely
unknown to the poet, send in their
cards. They are courteously re-
ceived by him in reception room.
Would he be good enough to let
them see his libraryi The request
is acquiesced in, and the library
undergoes inspection.
"Oh, it's lovely" $50 NICE"
and now "mayn't we see the dining
room 7"
The cloth for dinner was laid,
and the hour for that meal close at
hand, but nevertheless the ladies
carried their point; but when 1t
came to wishing to be shown the
kitchen the host was fain to ring
for q servant, lest further examine
tion might extend to the cellar or
attic.
Another amusing incident also
related to us by friend was that
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1877-07-11

of an Englishman who, like Sir
Charles Coldstream, had "traveled
everywhere, seen everything, and
done everything" and yet was ter
ribly ennuied.
"Haw yes, Mr.. Longfellow,
thought l ought to see the great
American poet, an sent in my
card"
The poet asked his visitor to be
seated, when he resumed:
eyes, see Mr.. Longfellow; I've
been a great traveller, sir; been all
over the Continent-been to Ice
land, Sweden, Norway"
"Indeed ; you must have found
much to interest you ?"
swell, something, but it's get
ting to be an awful bore. I've just
come from Egypt; old country
antiquities, you know"
eyes" replied the poet, "many
interesting relics of past ages"
"Ah, yes-just so, exactly; heaps
of old ruins. / like ruins. Now
everything's new here in America
you know-can't find any old ru.
ins-so thought I'd come and see
you"

He Boxed Her Ears.

A burglar broke into a Kansas
City house in which Mrs. Gray
was alone, and told her if she
made any noise, or attempted to
get out of bed he would kill her.
She was frightened, and did not
speak or stir while he packed her
silverware and jewelry for re-
moval. Then, by way of empha-
sizing a parting injunction not to
raise an alarm, he boxed her ears.
That made her so angry that she
forgot her fear. She jumped out
of bed, knocked the burglar down
with a chair, pulled his hair,
scratched his face, stamped on
him, and yelled at the top Of her
voice. A police officer heard the
racket, and the badly injured man
was arrested.

Yermin ON Fowls.

Fowls are subject to the attacks
Of two kinds of vermin, which in
summer are worse than at any
other season. The more common
is q louise the other is a mite,
which has the appearance of a
minute spider. The louise lives on
the feathers and bodies Of the fowls,
while the mite conceals itself in the
crevices Of the hen house, coming
out at night and preying upon the
fowls and returning to its hiding
place. The louise can be got rid OF
generally by providing the fowls
with dry ashes, sand and dust in
which they can bathe themselves.
1t is q good plan to sift ashes and
dust for this purpose, adding tc
them some -four Of sulphur. Place
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1877-07-11

the mixture where il can be easily
used, and the fowls viii soon free
themselves from vermin. The mite
is usually dintroyed by applying
good coat of whitewash to the
poultry house, but the surest way
is to fumigate the house thoroughly.
1t is necessary to stop all the
openings of the house as tight as
possible. Take an old pan or iron
pot and place some live Goals in It;
then take tobacco (cigar refuse viii
answer) and lay on the Goals as
top layer, after which put on
sufficient quantity Of rolled brim-
stone. Have everything in read
iness before you begin. Shut the
door up tight before you fumigate,
and the sulpher fumes will DO the
work effectually.

How TO BE a Gentleman.

We want a few private words
with the boys. The truth is we
have a great idea of boys
We used to think men were
made of boys. We begin to think
now that they are all out of date.
We look around and see a great
many persons grown up, with mems
clothes on, who are called men,
But they act and behave so that
we feel certain that they were never
made out of boys. If they had
been they would know how to be-
have better. Where they came
from we do not know. But what
we wish to put into the ears of
the boys is this--be gentlemen
In this country every boy may
grow up to be gentleman If he
will. 1t is not necessary that he
should become rich-and most boys
think it is-nor is it necessary that
he should become a distinguished
man.
But some impatient ones are ask
ing, show shall we become gentle
men9 How can boy go about
making himself one9 Can he work
for it! Yes, he can. And the
harder he works in the right way
the better. Can he study for it
Yes, he can. But he must study
with his eyes, and his ears
Reading books and newspapers is
not enough. He must think and
feel as well as speak and act. Can
he buy itl No, he cannot. Mon
ey will buy great many things
but it will not buy what makes q
gentleman. If you have money
you can so to a shop and buy
clothes. But hat, coat pants and
boots, do not make gentleman
They make fop, and sometimes
they come near making fool
Money will buy dogs and horses
but how many dogs and horses dc
You think it will take to make o
gentleman Let no boy, there
fore think he is to be made a gen.
tleman by the clothes he wears
the horse he rides, the stick he
carries, the dog that trots after him
the house he lives in or the money
he spends. Not one of all these
things do it-and yet every boy
may be a gentleman. He may
wear an old hat, cheap clothes have,
no horses, live in poor house and
spend but little money, and still be
a gentleman. But howg By be-
ing true, manly, honorable. BY
keeping himself neat and respect
able. BY being civil and courteous.
BY respecting himself and respect
ing others. BY doing the best he
knows how. And finally, and
above all, by fearing God and keep
ing his commandments.

Only a Husk.

Tom Darcy, yet young man,
had grown to be very hard one.
At heart he might have been all
right if his head and will had only
been right; but these being wrong,
the whole machine was going to
the bad very fast, though there
were times when the heart felt
something of its old truthful yearn-
ing. Tom had lost his place as
foreman in the great machine shop,
and what money he earned came
from odd jobs of tinkeiing which
he was able to do here and there.
ut private houses for Tom was n
seuiu- vii ass mechanic. end
when his ma ii was stra enough
he could mend clock, or clean "a
watch, as well as he could set up
and regulate a steam engine.
One day Tom had a job to mend
mp a broken moving machine and
reaper, for which be received five
dollars, and on the following morn
ing he started out for his old haunt
tho village tavern. He knew
taat his wife sadly needed the
msury, and that his two little
cuiidren were in absolute suffering
rom want of clothing; and on
this morning he had debate with
the better part of himself; but
the better part had become very
weak and shaky, and the demon of
appetite carried the day.
SO away to the tavern Tom went,
where, for two or three hours, he
felt the exhilerating effect of
alcoholic draughts, and fancied him
self happy, as he could sing and
laugh; but, as usual, stupefaction
followed, and the man part died
out. He drank while he could
stand and then lay down in COR
ner, where his companions left
him.
1t was late at night-almost mid
night-when the landlords wife
came into the bar-room to see what
kept her husband up-and she
quickly saw.
"Peter," she said, not in o
pleasant mood, "why don't yon send
that miserable Tom Darcy home I?
He's been hanging around here
long enough"
Toms stupefaction was not
sound asleep. The dead coma had
left his brain, and the calling of his
name stupg his senses to keen at
tention. He had an insane love of
rum, but he did not love the land
lord. In other years Peter Tindar
and himself had loved and wooed
the same sweet maiden-Ellen Goss
and he had won her, leaving
Peter to take up with the vinegary
spinster who had brought him the
tavern, he knew that lately the
tapster had gloated over the misery
of the woman who had once dis
carded him.
"Why don't you send him home 2"
demanded Mrs. Tindar, with q
impatient stamp Of the foot.
"Hush Betsyl He's got more
money. Let him be, and he'll be
sure TO spend 1t before he goes
homo. Fll have tho kernel Of the
aa' ,a az ", may have the
huslx -
With sniff aud snap Betsy
turned away, and shortly afterward
Tom Darcy lifted himself upon his
elbow.
"Ah, Tom, are you awake 7"
"Yes." eHH a1G 7I0I1Hae

A valued lady correspondent Of
the Journal, during a recent visit
in Ireland, was accosted in the
streets of Cork by an old beggar
woman, who begged for hapenny.
The kind heart of the lady yielded
and bestowed a trine, upon which
the old beggar woman exclaimed;
"May you ride in your carriage,
lady, and may its wheels throw
dust in the eyes of your enemies,
IL you have any-which You
haven't" This was worth tuppencc.

This was Joseph Mazzini's idea
of Life-with large Las re-
hearsed in a hitherto unpublished
letter: "Life is an aim which can
be approached, not reached: 1t is
not mine, now, to give definition
of the aim whatever it is, there is
one, there must be one. Without
it life has no sense. 1t is atheiSti-
cal and, moreover, an irony and a
deception. Life is no sinecure, no
recherche du bonhuer to be secured
as the promulgators Of the theory
had it by guillotine, or, as their
less energetic followers have it, by
railway shares, selfshness, or con-
temptation. Life is, as Schiller
said, "a battle and a march a bat
tie for Good and Evil, for Justice
against Arbitrary Privileges, for
Liberty against Oppression, for as
sociated Love Individualism;
march onward to Self, through col
lective Perfecting to the progress
sive realization of an Ideal which
is only dawning to our mind and
soul"

"No, Peter-I won't drink any
more tonight"
at won't hurt you Tom-just q
glass;"
81 know it WON'T" said Tom,
buttoning up his coat by the
solitary button left. I-know-
won'tw
And with this he went out into
the chill air of midnight. When
he had got away from the shallow
of the tavern, he stopped and look
ed up at the stars, and then he
looked down upon the earth.
"Aye," he muttered, grinding his
heel in the gravel. "Peter Tindar
IS taking the kernel, and leaving
ta pooe Ellen the worthless husk-
a1nsE worse than worthless! and
| am helping him to do it-I am
robbing my wife of joy-robbing
my children of honor and comfort
-robbing myself of love and life
just that Peter Tindar may have
the kernel and Ellen the husk
We1l see."
1t was a revelation to the man.
The tavern-keeper's brief speech,
meant not for his ears, had come
upon his senses as fell the voice
of the Risen One upon Saul of
Tarsus.
"We1l see !" he replied, setting
his foot firmly upon the ground ;
and then he wended his way home

On the following morning he
said to his wife.

eyes, Tom" She did not tell
him that her sister gave it to her.
She was glad to hear him ask for
coffee instead of the old cider.
II wish you would make me a
cup, strong and good"
Tom drank two cups of the strong
fragrant coffee, and then went out
went out with resolute step, and
walked straight to the great man.

"Workl Aye, Tom, and bless

Toms hands were weak and un-
steady, but his brain was clear, and
under his skilful supervision the
engine was set up and tested but,
IL was not perfect. There were
mistakes which he had to correct,
and it was late in the evening
when the work was completed.
"How is IL now, Tom :" asked
Mr. Scott, as he came into the

III you oHer IL 10 me then, L Will
take it."
At the little cottage Ellen Dar-
cy's fluttering heart was sinking.
That morning, after Tom had gone,
she had found two dollar note in
the coffee cup. She knew that he
had left it for her. She had been
out and bought tea and sugar, and
flour and butter, and a bi. Of ten
der steak, and all day long a ray
of light had been dancing and
and shimmering before her-a ray
from the blessed light of other
days. With prayer and hope she
had set out the tea table, and
waited, but the sun went down and
no Tom came. Eight o'clock--and
almost nine. Oh was it but q
false glimmer after all :
Hark ! the old step--quick,
strong, eager for home. Yes--it
was Tom, with the old grim upon
his hands, and the odor of oil up
on his garments.
81 have kept you waiting, Nellie
| did not mean to, but the work
hung on"
"Tom ! Tom You have beer
to the old shop!"
"Yes--and I'm to have the old
place, and"
"Oh, Tom"
And she threw her arms around
his neck and covered his face with
kisses.
"Nellie, darling, wait a little
while, and you shall have the old
Tom back again"
30 Tom, I've got him now-bless
him bless him My own Tom
my husband-my darling"
1t was a banquet of the gods
was that supper-of the household
gods all restored--with the brigh,
angels of peace and love and Joy
spreading their wings over the
board.
On the following Monday morn.
ing Tom Darcy assumed his ole
place at the head of the great ma
chine shop, and those who thor
oughly knew him had no fear o
his going back again into tn,

And Peter Tindar went home ant
