The volume of poems in which The
Building of the Ship" was, first appeared
in 1850, and in the following year one of
the most serious and elevated of all the
poets works, "The Golden Legend" a
remarkable drama, wherein, as Mr.. Rus
kin has said,. he "has entered more
closely into the temper of the monk, for
good or for evil, than ever yet theological
writer or historian, though they may have
given their life's labor to the analysis"
Four years later followed "The Song Of
Hiawatha," one of the most daring of all
his metrical departures, but ono that was
justified by the poetic dignity and beauty,
one may almost say spirituality, with
which he has treated this picturesque
Indian myth.
"The Courtship of Miles Standish," q
narrative poem of some interest, which
showed, however, that the success Of
"Evangeline could not he repeated the
"Tales of a Wayside Inn" and the New
England Tragedies " followed in order,
but by this time tho poet had become alb
sorbed in the great work of his later life,
and not all of his occasional verses showed
the old spontaniety. In 1867 appeared the
first volume of the translation of Dante's
"Divina Commedia," which was compile
ted in 1870, and this was practically tho end
of the poets work for though much of
his later verses will rank among his best
there is very little of it that would by
itself have gained great distinction. "The
Divine Tragedy" which, with "The
Golden Legend !" and "The New England
Tragedies, was published under the title
of ''Christus, Mystery y "Three Boods
| of Song" " Aftermath "The Masqus
OF Pandora" "Keramos" and Ultima
Thule" are the most important of the
later poems, which have given names to
| as many successive volumes. In the leis-
| ure of his old age the poet also utilized
his remarkable knowledge of poetical
literature in compiling the collection OF
Poems of Places" of which no less than
thirty one volumes have been published.
Tread whatever bards have sung
OF lands bey Ond the sea,
And the bright days when I was young

He paid a third visit to England in 1868
when he was tho recipient of numerous
honors, but since that time he has lived
quietly at Cambridge. Mrs. Longfellow
died in 1861, from tue effect of burns &C
cidently received, leaving two sons and
three daughters. The poets house, ani
especially his library, filed with treasures
of literature, was the most attractive place
in Cambridge, and his hospitality was a.
generous as it was ursssuming. He wa.
overrun with visitors, for he was quite al
pupular in England as in America and
tourists from all parts Of the world came t.
do him honor. Indeed, his popularity wa
not bounded by the spread Of the Englisl
tongue. His principal posms have bee,
translated into German, Dutch, Swedish
Danish, French, Italian, Portuguese
Spanish, Polish and Russian, and in every
land men, women and children will mourn
for the good poet gone.

Spanish Student" a dramatic poem t1
rather loose construction, but of true
dramatic spirit and picturesque and warm
in color. After this some groups of trans
letions and volume of selections, "Poets

poem that has done more for the estab.

other one, "Evangeline, a Tale Of Aca.

of as one of the few examples of sue

VALUE OF A RAILROAD IRAIN.-
Few have any conception of the mon
ey value Of an express train. The
handsome locomotive and elegant
cars are admired as the train comes
putting into the depot, but when seen
from the point Of view furnished by
the Hartford COurdnt, the spectator
is astonished at the responsibility
placed in the hands of the engineer,
fireman, conductor and brakeman
A railroad official, the other day,
gave some interesting figures as to
the value of the midday express
from New York, which was a fair
representative of the fast express
trains on the consolidated road.
There was an engine, tender and
eight cars. The engine and tender,
which are considered together,
were valued at s1O,5OO, the baggage
car $1,000, the postal car $4,000, the
smoking car $4,000, the two ordinary
passenger cars $4,000 each and three
palace cars SIS, 900 each; total $685.
900.
This is low, rather than an ex-
cessive, estimate for one of the fast
expresses, as some of them, with
more cars, are worth 500, 900, al
least.

LETTER FROM MONTANA.
HELENA. July 80, 1882.

1>A@-N~At COt ACO-'
Editor Of the Monitor: l am GER
tain that this great Territory, 500
miles .ong and 800 miles wide, con-
tains more natural wealth than any
other State or Territory in the Union.
1t is the least known, with, perhaps,
the exception of Idaho. 1t has a to-
tai area of about 100000 square
miles, or nearly 100,000,000 acres.
The six New England States and the
great State of New York would not
cover this area. England, Wales,
Ireland and Scotland combined, do
not near equal it in size. If what
has been discovered of its mineral
resources is fair standard, in a very
short time all the rest of the Union
will have to yield the palm to this
section of our country. 1t is curious
to compare the surface of Montana
with that of her great neighbor, Da-
kota, which is peculiarly farming
country, while Montana is mining
and grazing country. Dakota rolls
smoothly away in gentle sweIls.
From the summit of these swells the
eye becomes weary with the same
ness of the landscape. Montana, on
the other hand, is adorned with grand
scenery of rock and mountain. 1t
abounds in hot mineral springs and
beautiful valleys. Montana offers
| neither the monotonous level prairies,
or the vast forests, which were en-
countered and struggled with for
years away "down east" but an al
tentative of wooded mountain and
fertile valley, of rolling upland and
well drained meadow. Montana
(translated from the Indian) is right
ly called country of the mountains. "
Nearly one-half is mountainous, the
remainder being mostly good ara
BILE land, capable of high cultivation,
| yielding agricultural products of all
descriptions. In some parts irriga-
ton is necessary, but water is plenty
and easily procured. The only seri-
Gus drawback Montana farmers have
ever had to contend with is the grass
hopper. These pests have never
been as troublesome in the mountain
land as in prairie states, although,
individuals have at times lost all
their grain. The hopper seems to
descend on the Montana valleys for
three or four consecutive years, aud
then disappears for similar period.
He delights in making short calls
here and there. One farm may be
devasted, while the next will be left
unharmed; a obstruction of crops
has never been general or complete.

''Let me explain" she said, frank
ly. "We were just expecting my
brother Richard home from the South,

months past, and was quite sure he
would arrive on the train which

engaged to Miss Hereford, and the
marriage ceremony was to take place
Immediately after his arrival. / went
down to the depot to welcome him
and because of the striking simili-
tude in your respective personal ap-
pearance, l mistook a stranger for
my brother. That is all Brother
Richard, Mr.. Smith is entirely blame
less of any wrong. Let me present
you to each other as friends
My counterpart shook hands with
me, and begged my pardon for dislo-
eating my neck tie.
And then, at a sign from the elder
ly gentleman, we all walked into the
drawing-room where, in a brief space
of time, my counterpart was made
the husband of his blushing Alice.
The acquaintance SO singularly be-
gun with the Smith family, soon rip
ened into friendship, and become one
of the most precious of life's bless
ings to me. Helen Smith had kissed
me, and she could not forget it. If
a man can get woman to think of
hint hardly matters in what way
he has claim on her; and so 1t was
in my case. l believe that | never
met Helen but she blushed at the
memory which stole over her. Three
months after our first meeting she
kissed me again, and called me
"Dear Richard" And this time she
was well aware that she was not adj
dressing her brother.

thing to have a counterpart? When

My son, when you heal 'oody
growing and scolding because N =
gets 5000 a week for preachina
Christianity, you will perceived that
he never worries a minute because
Ingersoll gets 5000 a night for
preaching atheism. You will observe
that the man who is unutterably
shocked because Francis Murphy is
getting $50 a week for temperance
work, seems to think it is all right
when the bar keeper takes in twice
as much money in a single day. The
laborer is worthy of his hire, my boy,
and he is just as worthy of it in the
pulpit as he is upon the stump. Is
the man who is honestly trying to
save your immortal soul worth less
than the man who is trying his level
best to 90 to congress? Isn't Moody
doing as good work as Ingersoll?
Isn't John B. Cough as much the
friend of humanity and society rs the
bar tender? Do you want to get all
the good in the world for nothing, so
that you may be able to pay high
price for the bad? Remember, my
boy, the good things in the world are
always the cheapest. Spring water
costs less than corn whiskey; box
of cigars will buy two or three Bibles
a gallon of old brandy costs more
than barrel Of -four; ''full hand''
at poker often costs a man more in
20 minutes than his church subscrip-
ton amounts to in three years a
State election costs more than re-
vival of religion.
You can sleep in church every Sun
day morning for nothing, if you are
mean enough to deadbeat your lodg-
ing in that way, but nap in a Pull
man costs you 81 every time; so
cents for the circus and a penny for
the little ones to put in the mission
! ary box; 81 for the theatre and
pair of old trousers, frayed at the
ends, baggy as to the knees and ut
terly bursted as to the dome, for the
Michigan sufferers; the dancing lady
who tries to wear the skirt of her
dress under her arms and the waist
around her knees, and kicks her slip
pers clear over orchestra chairs every
night gets 5000 a week, and the city
missionary gets 5000 year and the
horse race scoops in 81, 900 the fist
day and the church fair lasts week,
works twenty-five or thirty of the
best women in Amreica nearly to
death. and comes out $40 in debt
why, my boy, if you ever find you
self sneering or scoffing because once
in a while you hear of preacher get
ting a living, or even a luxurious sal
ary, or a temperance worker making
money, go out in the dark and feel
ashamed of yourself, and if you don't
feel above kicking mean man, kick
yourself. Precious little does reli-
gion and charity cost the old world,
my boy, and when the money it does
get is flung into its face, like bone
to dog, the donor is not benefited
by the gift, and the receiver is not,
and certainly should not be gratful.

THE "PRAoTICAL" DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POETRY
AND PHMosoPHY.-It sounds very poetic to say
"man's inhumanity to man makes countless thous-
ands mourn but why not apply the principle to the
practical side of the subject and render the quotation
thus: ''Swaynes Ointment on account of stopping
the itching caused by the piles has made countless
thousands well ard happy" There would be sound
logic in this but poets never cheerful are they?
