Whittier's First Poem.

We have before us in Mr.. Whittier's
handwriting the first poem OF his that
was ever published. In 1896, when he
was in his nineteenth year, he left it
under the door Of the office of the Free
Prcss. weekly paper then published
by William Lloyd Garrison, in Newbury-
port. Garrison had Just attained his
majority, and this paper was his first
venture in journalism. 1t may interest
writer's for the press Of the present day
TO hear the story OF this first literary ef-
fort of a poet nov crowned with years
and with honors.
II was many weeks after young Whit.
tier lett his manuscript to its fate before
he heard from it. He was then working
upon his fathers rocky farm in Haver-
hill, and his father was a patron Of the
Free Press. Week by week the paper
arrived, and the heart Of the young poet
sank within him as he looked in vain for
his verses. One day he was at work
with his Uncle Moses repairing tho stone
fence by the highway going along on
the outside replacing the stones knocked
from the wall by sheep that had scram-
blod over it. While 80 engaged the post
man came along on horseback, and, to
save going 10 the house with the paper,
he tossed it to young Whittier. 1t was
opened with trembling fingers. Many u
writer knows the exact sensation OF hope
without expectation, SO often experienced
in regard to the iirstlings of the brain.
The surprise Of finding his poem at the
"head OF the corner was 80 bcwidcrinG
that he was dazcd by it, and ho says he
stood looking at it long time, am is
sure he did not read II word. At lel-gth
his uncle called him back to his senses
by bidding him keep at work. No sue
cess III future JCars has ever stirred such
tumnt Of emotions, as may well he
| believed.
Garrison was so impressed with his
new contributors work that he sought
him out, coming up to HaverhilI on
horseback 10 interview him. When Car
rson called young Whittier was ut work
in the field. He was told n gentleman
wns 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,
"slickcd up and soon stood IN the
presence Of the young editor, who en-
comQ9ed him TO make good use Of the
talent he had displayed. Whlttiers
father came in during their interview,
md begged Garrison not to put such no,
| tons into the head Of his son. But 1t
was too late; the damage was done!
This was the first meeting Of the two
men aftcrward so intimately associated
in anti-slaycry work, The poem referred
to has long been out OF print 1t rs "a

A large and cultured congregation as
sembled in Church Street M. E. Church,
South, last night, to hear the sermon by
Rev. w. S. Doak, State superintendent OF
public instruction, according to announce
ment. After singing by the excellent choir
of this church, and prayer by the
pastor, Rev. G. C. Rankin, DIR. Doak
was introduced, and his subject
announced to be political Economy as
Taught by the Bible" The sermon was an
able, instructive and practical discourse, the
conclusion arrived at being, to sum it up in
q few words, that intelligence and virtue are
the foundation of prosperity in any nation

Useful Lectures.

The course of lectures on Penmanship,
delivered at the State Normal Institute, by
Professors Jones and Son, of the Knoxville
Business College, were very interesting and
extremely practical, and gave universal
satisfaction to the faculty and teachers in at
tendance.
The valuable experience which these gen.
tiemen have had in prominent Business Co.
leges, during the past twenty years, has adj
,nirably fitted them to instruct the teachers
of our public schools, in the best methods
of conducting their writing classes, and we
have no doubt but that all who were favored
with the privilege of listening to these Ice
lures, have received hints that will be of
infinite service to them in their future du-
ties
The professors showed themselves to be
perfect masters of their subjects both as a
science and an art, and by the clear and
forcible manner in which they placed it be-
fore their audience, proved themselves ex-
ceedingly well qualified to take the future
charge of the Commercial Department of
the University of Tennessee, to which po-
sition they have recently been appointed.
Their College in the city will still be con-
Quoted by them the same as before, and the
attendance of students, after the opening of
their Fall Term, in September, bids fair to
be uncommonly large.

Reported Specially for the CHRONICLE.
The colored Normal assembled at $50 a.
m, and proceeded at once to the examina-
ton of teachers, which was continued until
1890, then short recess was given for Is
minutes After recess was over Prof. Muir
ply gave lecture on ''Elocution and Read
ing, " in his usual forcible and impressive
manner. When Prof. Murphy had con-
cluded his lecture, DIR. Hubbard. of Nash
vile, gave an interesting address on the
Geology of Tennessee" The DIR. exhibit
ted many specimens Of rocks, and other
minerals to be found in Tennessee. The
principal announced that the teachers
would retire for dinner, but return at 8
o'clock to hear lectures by Prof Spence and
president Teft.
/ Prof. Spence came forward and in his
own original way, illustrated his method of
teaching primary mathematics by means of
objects. The Professor showed, with sticks
or slips of pasteboard, how to make the
teaching of addition, subtraction, multiph-
/ cation, division, &c, simple successful and
even interesting The manner in which the
Professor managed the Normal class gave
abundant evidence that he is a skillful
NOFiu6l teacher.
Prof Tefft next made his appearance, and
took up the study of analysis.
After defining analysis, he proceeded to
say that we must pick the sentences apart.
We must understand language before we
can use 1t. We must analyze sentences, at
least to ourselves, to understand them. A
sentence Is a collection of words expressing
Il Judgment. ''Out of doors is not a SEN
tence, &c.
DIR. Hubbard next illustrated his admira-
bile method of teaching geography
At $50 p. m. the teachers came together
again to hear lecture from Professor
Spence, of Nashville, on "The response
biGty of teaching" The lecture was
thorough and complete, and elected the
closest attention. President Tefft spoke
also on Self-culture," and impaired many
LESSONS of rare value and usefulness which
the teachers should treasure up and profit
by in the future.
Following is the programme for to-day
