Whittier's New Poem.
1aD PRELUDE TO 1.-THE KINGS MIssIvR AND
OTHER FoENs"

II spread a scanty board too late;
The old time guests for whom wait
Come few and slow, methinks, to-day.
All! who could hear my messages
Across the dim unsounded seas
On which so many have sailed away.
"Come, then, old friends, who linger yet,
And let us meet, as We have met,
Once more beneath this low sunshine;
And grateful for the good we've known,
The riddles solved, the ills outgrown,
Shake hands upon the border line.
"The favor. asked too oft before,
From your indulgent ears, once more
Icrave, and, if belated lays
To slower, feebler, measures move,
The silent symp thy of love
To me is dearer now than praise.
And ye, o younger friends, for whom
Ny hearth and heart keep o en- room,
Come smiling through the shadows long
Be with me while the sun goes down,
And with your cheerful voices drown
The minor Of my even-song.
"For equal through the day aud night.
The wise Eternal oversight
And love and power and righteous will
Remain; the law of destiny
The best of each and all must be,
And life its promise shall fulfill.

account Of a wonderful window jdst

II Is for II church, and Is III three

at sunset as ii seen through the win
dow. Tree curtains are represented
rs il hanging mp before the window
The ccuter curtulu has fallen down, bat
those on Tue side shut out the view
save at the top, where the rosy sky and
til" clouds may be seen.
The colurs Of the curtains are made
by the bi's Of colored glass. and the
figured pattern is marked by the leads
or cash. At the bolt is heavy friz
studded with precious stones.
Ia tho center, where the curtain is
down, is the picture. In the fore.
ground are ilnAers in bloom. Then
comes the sea with. a::listant:hlll over and
1t the sky, with white dove flying up
ward. and the silver-bowed moou. All
this IS done in colored glass aud with
out any paint.
The water is sheet of glass marked
with wavy lines or ripples; the flowers
are pieces OF white glass stamped when
hot, in the shape of flowers; the clouds
are made of white or colorcd glass that
is of very uneven thickness.
The light comes through tho thin
places, and is kept out. or shaded. by
the thick parts. and it is these differ.
ences in the thickness Of the glass that
make the waves, the leaves, the friuges on
the curtains, the clouds, and i'll fact, the
lights and shades of the picture. Tue
precious stones are bits of thick colored
glass Clipped and cut into diamonds of
many faces.
Stand near the window and it looks
like confused masssof glass OF every
degree of thickness. Stand at dis
stance when the sun is shining on the
window, and it ia wonderful and be ,u-

is the beginning of u new art. and it is

"reminiscences of Carpenter and
ChOate.

TX iukakea, "a correspondent Of thu
Nv York SIN relates the following it,
cIdents:
Mr.. Carpenter studied law with RI
/ fus Choate, and revered his memory
with fillal devotion Chodte loved him
greatly and predicted for him career
not less brilliant than his onn. When
the Young stu lent grainsted from his

costly BOOKS which he said he woul

notes or other evi ltnces of Carpenters
lndc btedness. TIE money was Acrn-
pni usly repaid t. the ,st cent but VITA
some difficulty, for Choate would tor
get, or pretend to forget, and gener
ous'y denied important items III the
account.
Like Carpenter. Choate was perfectly
content as long as he hai an, thing at
his bankers; but a notice from that
grim parsonage that his account was
OverdraSn wOnld throw him into the
most unreasonable agitation, although
thousands might be due him from
clients perfectly able and willing to
pay. The writer recollects vivid
ly characteristic annecdnte of
Choate. enthusiastically told by Car
penter. Carpenter went to Choate at
his house on some business of the office
aad found him alone in his library in
the second story. He lay on lounge
chatting freely of everything but the
matter his 'tudent had come about, and
managed to put that by whenever it
was approached. AT length he said:
Open that sideboard, my boy, and
take out the decaater aud glasses you
find there, and well comfort ourselves
with drink" But no sooner had
Carpenter obeyed these directions than
footstep WAS heard on the stairway,
furtive, timid, but steadily approach
ing. Choate listened All instant, with
merry glitter in his eye, and then
cried: Hustle them! Hustle them H.!
Methinks it hath u Presbyterian sound"
Bnt the intruder turned out to be an
Episcopalian clergy man; the decdnter
reappeared, and Carpenter left without
being able even to mention the business
upon which he had gone.

The Homes of America.

| 1t is not mere accident the homes
of America are the most comfortable
and comforting on earth. Nor are
these homo comforts due simply to
mechanical skill or economic Judgment.
A country which has limited the power
| Of its governments stimulates society,
and high moral society produces the
most perfect homes which human eyes
or poetic visions can behold. NJ one
knows the American system we'll " ho
does not know the American home.
Our political system is publicity itself;
American society has never yet been
fully characterized; while the best re-
suit of both, the perfect home has been
praised in general terms, but not de-
scribed and explained in its fullness.
The novel writers, from whom such
descriptions might be expected, have
failed ignominiously in their attempts
Mt showing the maturest result of our
social system. Yet this system is
unique. and it is u marked advance
upon all European models. The Eng
lish home approaches the American
home. while the German approaches
the English; but the ideal American
!ouiOs hoU Iaiciy lcaiihct, buS u SOLu-
fort, character and dignity of its own.
1t may seem to be wanting in the
graces, traditions and responsibilities
peculiar to the best English homes;
it surpasses them in moral dignity; it
differs from all Others in being the re-
suit of highly refined civilization. 1t
is the best and purest outcome of our
ethical and clinical system. There has
been much pleasant banter about the
great American novel that is to come.
Let us not dwell too much on politics;
British politics are larger than ours.
Let us not tell too much of busy peo-
pie; the French are as industrious and
industrial as We are. Let it not contine
itself to analysis OF character or senti-
ment; other nations have both in
abundance. Let it describe the purest
and sweetest of our American homes,
and let it describe, not an ideal, but
that reality which distinguishes the
American home from ali others, and
shows it to be the best outcome ont of
our history. our political institutions
and onr social SYSTEM Boston Ad-
vertiser.

Hallucinatlons.

Here are two stories which our
readers Can set side by side and draw
their own moral from both.
A gentleman of New York, q man OF
education and probity, whose veracity
cannot be doubted, lately related to a
reporter of the New York Tribune the
following occurrences:
A year ago he lost a son, young
man of great promise. Coming home
one afternoon in January, and entering
the parlor, he saw distinctly his dead
son sitting in his usual place. dressed
as waen alive.
Il stood" said the father, gazing
at him. Then he vanished. The per-
SEPARATION stood on my forehead, and my
hands were like ice. can only ex
plain the incident by believing that
my son returned and assumed bodily
shape to allow me to see him once
MORE"
The reporter adds that it is impossi.
bic to doubt the sincerity of the mourn
ing father, or that he actually did see
what seemed to him to be his son.
The second story is that of Nicolai.
the famous Prussian acrdemiciun, who,
oi'CA o pOhAou VI FDNCtC Iuoutdl SbIuiuf
suddenly saw the figure of dead friend
standing before him. 1t remained per-
fectly distinct for eighteen minutes,
and fading, was succeeded by others.
After day or two, these phantoms
became permanent. He thought he
saw the figures of both his dead
and living friends. They followed
him by day or night, sat by him at his
meals. He could neither summon nor
dismiss them at will.
"They talked together" he says. 4
heard them. Their discourse was
agreeable. but short, and consisting of
abrupt phrases. Finally l determined
to rid myself of this forced companion
ship, and with the aid of surgeon,
applied leeches to my head.
1.-THE ieeches were applied at eleven
o'clock. The room seemed then to bs
full of spirits. They continued to
Aove and talk until half-past four.
Then they grew silent, and began to
look whitish, and presently to fade, Us
in fog. By eight O'Clock they were
gone, and they have never visited NE
since"
The cases are parallel, except that in
one the spectre was accepted as fact,
and treated santimentally, and in the
other, by common.sense and medical
realment, the phantoms were shown to
