Whittier's First Poem.

The possession of the MS. of the
first poem Mr.. Whittier ever published,
leads the Portland transcript to recall
the young poets sensations when he
first saw his production in print. He
was working one day with his uncle in
repairing stone fence by the highway,
when the postman in passing tossed TO
MIN copy of the journal to which
many weeks before he had sent his
poem. Tremblingly young Whittier
opened the paper to find the verses al
the top of the first column. He was SC
delighted and bewildered that he stood
looking at it a long time, and is sure be
did not read n word. At length his
rnclo called him back to his senses by
bidding him keep at work.

The Strange Life of the King of Bavaria.

IHt oiThiBe Ltle Ol blIt hlHB vi DhfhTlhs
Writing of the strange life led by
King Louis of Bavaria, French paper
says: King Louis lives sad and soi-
tary in his beautiful palaces, in his
Gothic castles, whose interior is trans
formed into wonderful rooms of the
eighteenth century. He has had sent
from Paris photographs of the most
beautiful rooms of the time of Louis
XIV. to have them copied at his own
palaces.
1t is astonishing that he is not mar
ried. Perhaps he does not wish to
leave to children his sad heritage, a
crown of which he is in nowise the
master. He reads with avidity tho his
torians who write of the grandeur OF
Bavaria in the middle ages. 1t may
be that he has even written q mono
graph ON the valiant Charles Albert,
crowned Emperor of Germany in 1742,
the legitimate sovereign of the empire,
sustained 10y France and conquered by
Maria Theresa. On the eve of Sadowa,
Macmillan died leaving the throne to
Louis H., obliged to submit to the law
of the German conqueror. What he
deplores, this young king, is the de-
pendence of his country with his in
ability to recover it.
There are no feasts in his castles but
o great deal of music, music to which
he listens religiously behind the hang
ings which hide him from all eyes.
They say that at the representations OF
Wagner's operas he wished first to ex-
tinguish all the lights so as to show the
scene in greater radiance.
The king loves the country but de-
tests the day in his apartments. Wher.
ever he lives he has the shutters closed
and the candelabra lighted at midday.
He always dimes alone, sumptuously
and absent -mindedly, book beside
him in which he becomes so absorbed
that he forgets to eat and they take
away the dishes without his having
touched them. These singular repasts
often last for three or four hours. His
life is silence, solitude, night, study
and dreaming.
The king is but thirty. five, tall and
we'll formed, the blonde head having
much nobleness and charm about it.

Farm and Garden Notes.


Milk should always be cooled before
being sent to the creamery or carried
away for sale.
Black teeth in pigs do not cause dis
ease, but are symptom of disease.
This distinction is very important.
Manure from granted horses, free
from straw, uuexposed to weather, will
weigh about 4,500 pounds per cord.
Bone dust makes a good dressing for
lawns. Put on plenty of it. Stable
manure is often an eyesore unless very
fine,
Hens may lose their feathers in sum-
mer without having any disease. 1t is
better to lose them then than late in
the fall or early winter.
Always have place where chickens
can be sheltered from storms and kept
comfortable. 1t is the lack of this that
kills 50 many chickens.
Decayed grain of any kind is highly
injurious to stock. 1t has a paralyzing
effect upon the animals fed with it,
oftentimes causing death.
Plum trees planted in the poultry
runs will be kept free from the ravages
of the curculio and will also afford the
shade so necessary to fowls.
Bones kept damp in a box with ashes
for months, not wet enough to leach,
will gradually crumble and form COM
pound more valuable than guano.
1t is said that kerosene oil slightly
sprinkled on the floor of the horse
stables will serve to abate the nuisance
of flies. 1t may be shaken out of bot
tie through hole in the cork. A
pint will last week for the purpose.
The better care trees get in early life
the less care they need afterward. The
injury then from cuts and amputations
is smaller also then than later on.
Prune early.

OR THE FARM AND HOME.


Don't give the weeds q chance, but
skill, burn and destroy" at sight. If they
once get the start of the crops they will
multiply and increase more rapidly
than compound interest or mortgage.
The only way is to destroy them as soon
as they make their appearance. That
is the surest method, and in fact no
contrivance can possibly offectually de.
stroy them. By pursuing this course the
crops will be free from them. 1t is un.
necessary to say that the loss every
year from weeds is simply enormous.
Every farmer knows that, and if that
was all it would not be SO bad, but they
draw the virtue and impoverish the soil,
and when once in the ground it is al.
most impossible to get rid of them.

The lower classes. Who are they ?
The tolling millions, the laboring man
and woman. the farmer, the mechanic,
miner, and producer ? Far from it.
These are natures nobility. No
matter if they are high or low in
station, rich or poor in self, conspicu-
GUS or humble in position, they are
surely upper circles in the order of
nature, whatever the Fictitious dis
tinctions of society, fashionable or
Questionable, decree. 1t is not low,
it is the highest duty, privilege and
pleasure for the great man and high
souled woman to earn what they
possess, to work their own way
through life. If there be a class Of
human being on earth who may be
properly denominated low, it is that
class who spend without earning, who
consume without producing, and who
dissipate on the earnings of their
fathers and relatives.

TO the MINING JOURNAL
Instead of writing host of letters,
which promised to certain friends
around Frostburg, please allow me,
terough the columns of your paper,
to satisfy them in regard to this
place in the far West-Oarbon. I
know that great many would come
here if they had but the least en-
couragement from me but they will
have to 60 to someone else for en-
couragement as l advise all to stay in
Frostburg and not to think of coming
here. Some people seems to have
"run away" with the idea that this
place is the great Eldorado of the
west for miners, where there is no
troubles or trials and everything
straightforward and clear sailing;such

There are not the comforts of life
around here there are in Frostburg;

the work is harder than in the

men in your place could get full work
they would earn as much money as
we do, but if, aye, there's the rub.
