WHTTTIER'S FIRST PoEM.-John G

his first poem, and it was published in
Garrison's spaper, the Newburyport Free
Press. Week by week after the poem was

He was told that a gentleman was at the
house inquiring for him. Nobody had
ever called for him before, and he felt like
running away. But he got into the house
by the back door, " slicked up" and soon
stood in the presence of the young editor
who encouraged him to make good use of
the talent he had displayed. Whittiers
father came in during the interview, and
begged Garrison not to put such notions
into the head of his son. But it was too
late; the damage was done! This was
the first meeting Of the two men.

A CAUTION TO HoRSEMEN- A surgeon
in the German army calls the attention OF
all who have to do with horses to the
danger of using the pocket handkerchief to
wipe away any foam from the mouth or
nose of horse which may have been
thrown upon their clothes.
Some months ago, the writer states, an
officer came to him suffering from an
obstinate cold and cough. The usual
remedies were prescribed, but in vain; a
visit TO the baths at Reichenhall also did
the patient no good. Returning to duty,
the officer became worse; fever, attended
with great pain and swelling of the head,
set in, and ultimately, after much suffer.

WHO died may have conveyed the disease
into his system by perhaps using his
handkerchief to wipe some of the foam
from the mouth or nose of the horse from

TIE New ENGLAND VILLAGE.
lagos Ike those of New England do moi
exist in old England nor in any of the
western or southern states. They will
come to us in time but they are not here
yet. They have charm peculiarly their
own. They have the same sense of repose
and dignity that belongs to the ancient
elms and NAPLES that border and beautify
their streets. As Won walk beneath the
silent shadows of these venerable trees
and take note of the old homesteads that
are sheltered by them, you know that
within those homes there flows on a quiet
lie OF rs much refinement and culture as
can be found in any city in this broad
land, The best literature is within those
walls, the best music, best cultivation of
manners. and the angelic purity and
beauty of New England girlhood, full OF
bright intelligence, and crowned with all
gentleness and grace. There is hardly a
better society than may be found in those
New England homes, and nowhere else
are the Christian virtues of life brought to
better development. There is some
pride OF family, a sense of having had a
grandfather, but there is, wlhal, so wide
sympathy,sO much of that kindly feeling
toward your neiLhbors that comes from
having known them and gone to church
with them from their childhood, that the
idea OF purple blood does not mar the
harmony or interfere with the sweet char
tiles of daily life. If desired to give a
foreigner the most favorable impressions
OF American society and manners, free
alike from pleter sion on lhe one hand or
severity on the other, as the outgrowtb of
American institutions,I would take him ia
New England village OF the best class.
and bid him stay here until he had learned
the spirit of the place and people. If |
could choose the spot where my children
should pass their childhood and youth, it
would be in such II village. e.-Judge Lam.

with the huilder's rod which he held in his
hand. When he came to Hillel with the

answering on the spot: That which is
hateful to thvSelf do not tO thy neighbor.
This is the whole law, and tho rest is its
commentary
During the terrible rains a few weeks
since. a little girl was much Interested in
hearing her father read from his morning
paper that the Potomac river had over
flowed its banks, and submerged the
southern part of Pennsylvania Avenue in
Washington. Some questions in school
concerning the Potomac river were piven
that day, and ELECTED the astonishing re-
sponse that It had "overhowed all its
banks. and covered the whole state OF
Pennsylvania with water!"
When we take up the practical side Of
life we find principles cover what Is
termed the higher life. To have a sweet
and more gentle spirit, stihe the bad
temper and curb the evil spirit: TO have =
purer life, strive against impurity; to love
God with all the heart, hate sin so as to
avoid it as YOU would an enemy; to have
the assurance of happiness bevond this
life, live truly, honestly and rghteouslv
every dav. These principles un1erie all
higher living, and without them fasting
and prayer are only the froth on a surging
stream Golden Rule.
There are lessons of patience and SUBJ
mission. yea, and of gratitude. which are
best learned when the head is low. There
is a mellowing of the man which is the
