The Origin Of Some Of Longfellow' S
Poems.

The late James T. Fields, writing
about Longfellow, said:
As happen to know of the birth of
some of Longfellow' poems, let me di-
vulge to you few of their secrets
The Psalm OF Life came into existence
on bright summer morning in July,
1888, in Cambridge, as the poet sat be-
tween two windows at a small table in
the corner of his chamber. 1t was a
verse from his inmost heart, and he kept
it unpublished for a long time. 1t ex-
pressed his own feelings at that time,
when recovering from deep affliction,
and he had it in his own heart for many
months. The poem of The Reaper
Death, came without effort, chrystallized
into his mind. The Light of the Stars
was composed on serene and beautiful
summer evening exactly suggestive Of
the poem. The Wreck of the Hes
perus' was written the night after a
violent storm had occurred, and as the
poet sat smoking his pipe the Hesperus
came sailing into his mind. He went to
bed, but could not sleep and wrote the
celebrated verses. 1t hardly caused
him an effort, but flowed on without let
or hindrance. On summer afternoon
in 1849, as he was riding on the beach
: The Skeleton in Armor' rose as out of
the deep before him, and would not be
laid. M
g One of the best known of all of
Longfellow's short poems is Excelsior.
That one word happened to catch his
eye one autumn eve in 1851, on a torn
piece of newspaper, and straightway his
imagination took fire at it. Taking up
a piece of paper which happened to be
the back of letter received that day
from Charles Summer he crowded it with
verses. As first written down Excel
sior' differs from the perfected and pub
lished version, but shows rush and
glow worthy of its author. The story of
! Evangeline' was first suggested to
Hawthorne by a friend who wished to
found a romance on it. Hawthorne did
not quite coincide with the idea, and he
handed it over to Longfellow who saw
in it all the elements of deep and ten
der idyl.n

"A gentleman, who had no umbrella
and who had just come into town on a
local train, perceived before him as he
stepped into the street a person whom
he took to be an acquaintance and who
had a fine new umbrella hoisted over his

clapped him on the shoulder saying, as
he did SO by way of joke: g LII take
that umbrella, if you please" The in

fore the other could apologize he said,
hurriedly: /" 0, it's yours, is it? Well,

The Islands are ,

higher standpoint. The Islands are,
in a broad sense, part Of the
American system. They occupy the
same position to the Parific Coast
which Cuba does to the Atlantic.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Everett, then
Secretary of State, addressed note
to the British and French Ministers,
in which he declined to enter into
the tripartite alliance which had
been suggested in regard to Cuba.
Mr.. Blaine makes this note a prece.
dent for n similar policy in regard to
the Hawaiian Islands. .
Mr.. Blainc's grasp OF the American
system is comprehensive, but not in
the least unreasonable. If Mr..
Everett could write as he did in
1852 about Cuba, Mr.. Blaine, thirty
years later, should be equally able
to maintain like position about the
Hawaiian Islands. The questions
are so nearly parallel that il the
letter OF Mr.. Everett is approved
and the letter of Mr.. Blaine con-
demned, the cause for these two
conflicting verdicts must be looked
for in the changed tone Of the
American people. We do not be.
lieve, however, that the people are
less positive in national sentiment
now than in 1852. The change, II
one has taken place, is in the char.
acter Of the two Administrations
At the expiration Of President
Arthur's term the foreign policy he
has adopted will come up for con-
sideration. II the people approve it,
there will then be some ground for
the assumption that the national SEN
timent Of the present day is less
positive than that of thirty years
ago."

Adopted.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved that the
consideration of the Appropriation
Bill, which would come up as unfin-
ished business, be deferred to
another day, on account of the alb
sence of the Minister of the Interior,
who WAS confined at home, unwell.
The motion was negatived, and the
reading of the Bill WAS proceeded
with. The item in the Department
of the Interior were read and passed
without alteration, up to about two
thirds Of that division, when, the
hour of noon having arrived, the
Assembly took a recess.
The afternoon session was oc-
cupied with reading and passing the
items in the Appropriation Bill, with
occasional debates. 1t seems odd
to have to report that, although so
munificent in giving money for OBJ
jects of questionable utility, yet the
majority struck out the item for
lighthouse on the coast of South
kona, and also one for the harbor
Of Nawiliwili, Kauai.
A number of items were
increased, rs follows: Salary
Of Postmaster General, from
$1,000 TO $4,000; Roads in Koolau-
loa, from $4,000 to $1,000; Govern
ment Physicians, from $4,000 to
$4,000; to furnish and finish palace.
from $4,000 to S47500; Salary of

items-Custom House at Hilo, $l5-
