Whittier's Latest Poem.

John G. Whittier, at the request of one
of the lady managers of the fair aud fcs-
tival of tho Brooklin Industrial school
Association, which closed in the Brooklyn
noadcmy Saturday night sent new poem
which was published in the fair Journal.
The following orc tho lines, which arc en-
titled Calculations"
The old Squire said as he stood by bis gate,
And his neighbor, the Deacon went by;
Gin spite of my bank stock and real estate,
You are better of, Deacon, than l.
"We're both growing old, and tho ends
drawing near;
You have less of this world to resign,
But in heavens appraisal your assets, fear
Will reckon up greater than unc.
"They say I am rich, but Tn feeling so
poor,
wish could swap with you even
The pounds have lived for and laid up in
store
For tho shillinss and pence you have
givcn.''
"Wcll, 'squirc,' said tho Deacon, with
shrewd common sense,
While his eye had twinkle of fun,
"Lct your pounds take the way of my shil
lings and pence,
And the thing can be easily donc.'

The Wedding Fee.


R. NJ. Streeter in Graud R,plds Democrat I
One morning fifty years ago,
When apple trees were white with snow
OF fragrant blossoms, aud the air
Wos spoil bound with tho perfume raro-
Upon farm hooso, largo aud lean,
And lazy with its double load,
A sun brown youth and maid were seon
jogging along tho winding road.
Blue were the arches Of the skies,
But b!uer wc c that maiden's eye,!
Tho dow drops on tho grass wero bright,
But i5 brighter was the loving light
That sparklcd meath each long fringcd lid
Whero those bright eyes of blue were
hid
Adown the shoulders, brown and baro,
Rolled the soft waves of golden hair,
Where, almost strangled with the spray,
The sun, willing sufferer, lay.
It was tho fairost sight, l weep,
That the young man had ever seen;
Aud with his features oil aglow,
Tho happy fellow told her 30,
Aud she without the least surprise,
Looked on him with those heavenly eyes
Saw underneath that shade of tun
The handsome features Of mao,
Aud with a joy but rarely known
She drew that dear face to her OVID,
And by that bridal bonnet hid
cannot tell you what she did.
So on they ride, uu.i amoug
The new born leaves, with dew drops
hung,
The parsonage, arriyed in white,
Peers out-a moro than welcome sight.
Then, with cloud upon his face,
"What shall We do," he turned to saw,
"Should he refuse to take his pay
From what is in the pillow oose?"
And giancing down, his eyes surveyed
The pillow case before him laid,
Whose contents, reaching to its hem,
Might purchase endless joy for them,
The maiden answers, "l4et us wait;
10 borrow trouble where's the nced?"
Then at the parsons squcaking gate
Halted the more than willing steed.
Down from his horse the bridegroom
sprung;
nv i"SSniSoo Edto UeIlluu nlu SWuURi
The knocker Of that st,rtcd door,
Struck as it never was before,
Brought the whole household, pale with
fright;
And there, with bushes on his check,
So bashful he could hardly speak,
The farmer met their wondering sight.
The groom goes in, his crrsnd tells,
Aud ns the person mods, lie leans
Eur Ger the window sill, opd yc)is,
"Como iu! IIo says he'll take the
tcans"
Oh, how she jumped! With one glad
She and the bean bag reached the grt und.
Then, clasping with each dimplsd arm
Tho precious product of the form,
She bcars it through the open door,
And down upon tho parlor floor
Dumps the best beans vines ever bore.
All happy were their songs that day,
When man and wife they rode away.
But happier this chorus still,
Which Y tii5tt ee'ioad iihJdgth tho woodland
"God bless the priest of Watsonvilel
God bless the man who took the
beans!"

Scale OF Titles.

4 writer in Chambers Journal, who
has travelled in the western states, has
discovered the scale by which titles
are given:
A speaker at an American ''conven-
ton" being addressed as Colonel, .
declared he was not even captain.
"Don't you live in Missouri" he
was asked.
He owned that he did, and in a
house with two chimneys.
"Then I was right exclaimed the
man. "Over there, if a nan has
three ehimneys on hls house, he's q
general; il tlso, he's a colonel; if only
one, he's major, and if he lives in q
dug-out and has no chimney, he's Z
captain, anyhow"

greatly from her long confinement.
At length she was able to get about
with the aid of crutches, but she con-
tinued to suffer from the needle. The
pain decreased gradually from the
time she was able to get about, and she
regained her former feshiness. FL
nally she felt the needle only at peri
ods, when there was a change in the
weather. The movement OF the nee
die seemed to be upward, and the
point was not stationary, out moved
with the needle. About five years ago
she was married to Mr.. Harry Isaaes.
Three children are the fruit of that
union, the youngest of which is boy
named Arthur, who is about a year
old. The pain which troubled the
mother left her even before the birth
of her child, and the total disappear
anoe of the pain she was wont to feel
was subject of remark and pleasure
to her. On Monday, a week ago, her
baby, who had since its birth mani
tested q kindly disposition, was very
restless and cried increasingly all
night. The cause of the child's all
ment was not discovered until the fol-
lowing morning, when in giving it a
bath the mother discovered something
black protruding through the skin of
