Whittier the Great Poet.


In stating in your paper of this date
that the three greatest poets of the present age
now living" you must have forgotten that
Whittier, the Quaker poet of New England"
whose poetry is read and admired wherever the
English language is spoken, has long occupied a
prominent place i'll the list of American poets, and
that he is now living and in the enjoyment of ex-
cellent health, ut charming rural retreat called
Oak Knoll, in the town of DanYers, Mass II may,
perhaps interest you to learn that many of the
poems of this great poet of freedom and humanity
we're printed for the first time in this city in the
columns of the National Era, weekly literary and
anti-slavery newspaper, of which he was TOR sey-
eral years the corresponding editor.
AMONG THESE POEMS
are Randolph of Roanoke" The Crisis" The
Slaves of Martinique" Angels of Buena Vista, -
and that tendereSt, trucs, and most suggestive of
all modern poems, Maud Muller" which has
probably been more extensively read and ed
mired than any similar production of the present
century, and OF which it has been justly said: II
is one of those rare poems that can never become
tame by familiarity nor be diSpa1ged by COM
parisOn." Among other living poets who have
written that the world will not willingly let
die are Oliver Wendell Holmes and James Russell
Lowell, the latter of whom now occupies the ex-
allied position of United States Minister to the
Court of st. James. c. II. BRAISARD.

Grasnbouss and Windon Plants.

Insects, when found on the plants,
should be destroyed at once by using
tobacco water, sOapsuds, etc Plants,
if neglected, may be ruined in . short
time. Success in the fight with insects
depends largely upon ones prOmptness
and perseverance.
Climbers, like English ivy, trop@o-
lum, German ivy, ETC., add very much
to the beauty Of a greenhouse OF win
dow.
Hanging baskets should be placed
where they can have an abundance Of
light and sunshine, and not near the
stove or register. If the light comes
from one side, the basket ought to be
turned every day.
Watering: The successful culture Of
house plants depends largely upon the
care in watering. ThepOts should have
some pieces Of broken pots or oyster
shell put in the bottom to provide pro-
per drainage; with good drainage there
is but little risk from Over-Watering.
A thorough wetting when water is need
ed, is far better than keeping the sur
face moist, by frequent ''sprinkling." D."
Hanging baskets may be dipped into q
tub Of water.
A gradual change: We should have
much fewer complaints Of failure with
house plants If they were less subjected
to sudden changes, both when they are
brought in from their summer out-Of-
doors, and while in the house in winter.
When the air Of the room is changed it
should be done without allowing cold
current to fall upon the plants.

Said a sufferer from kidney troubles when
asked to try Kidney-Wort, 'Ill try it,
but it will be my last dose" The man got
well, and is now recommending the remedy
to all.
When arrangements Of the stomach act
upon the kidneys and liver, bringing dis
ease and pain, Kidney-Wort is the true
remedy. 1t removes the cause and cures
the disease. Liquid (very coucenrated)

WenOtlce occasionally reference made
in our agricultural exchanges to the
great age that both apple and pear trees
sometimes attain. As q rule the pear
tree is much lOnger-lived than the ap-
pie. We have seldom known an apple
tree to live much longer than from fifty
to seventy years-the latter ace being
about the limit But certain varieties
of the pear-the Catharine, Catillac
and Windsor, for instance-sOmetime
live to a great age. The former does
not get to bearing before it reaches
from ten to fifteen years old. On our
old homestead in Montgomery county
there is a Catharine pear that must be
siXty-iYe to seventy years old, but does
not seem much more than half grown.
And here upon our present premises
there are two CatiIlac, two Windsor and
to be $50 years old Fifty years ago
they seemed to be nearly as large as
now; and we were told by a previous
owner of the grOUnd-an old man when
We purchased it-that his grandfather,
who came from Germany, planted the
trees. with others of the same name
(Which we remOved) when he was by
no means an old man. Hence, by get
ting at the ages Of the mans ancestors,
we pretty closely approximate the age
of the trees. One Of the Catillacs died
last summer, and the other viii not sur
yive it more than q year or two, though
it still bears very well. The WindsOrs
also give signs Of decay; but the Cathe-
rine is as fresh and healthy as it ever
was, and bears yearly-some years 10
to y bushels.-GeYmantOaVB Tel.

Mr.. Harry GrimshaW is Of opinion,
now that mineral and other oils for illu-
minating purposes are so cheap, and
lamps for their consumption are so ad-
mirably constructed and elegant in de-
sign, that there is not the slightest rea-
son why valuable collections Of pictures
and books should be exposed to the sui
phurOUs emanatiOns Of cOal-gas. But
If all that has been stated about the ex-
perimental achievements during the
past year in obtaining electric light By

RAILRoAD RAMPAGE AT PITTS
