LongfeIIow's Inspiration.

Mr.. James T. Fields writes as fol-
lows: Gas 1 happen to know of the
birth of many of Longfellow's poems,
let me divulge to you a few of their
secrets. The Psalm of Life came into
existence on bright summer morning
in July, 1888, in Cambridge, as the
poet sat between two windows, at a
small table, in the corner of his cham
Der. 1t was voice from his inmost
heart, and he kept it unpublished a
long time; it expressed his own feelings
at that time, when recovering from a
deep affection, and he hid it in his
own heart for many months. The
poem of The Reaper Death came
without effort, crystalliztd into his
mind. The Light of the Stars was
composed on serene and beautiful
summer evening, exactly suggestive
or the poem. The Wreck OF 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 rose
and wlote the celebrated verses. 1t
hardly caused him an effort, but flowed
on without let or hindrance. On a
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. One of
the best known of all Longfellow's
shorter poems is Excelsior That
one word happened to catch his eye
one autumn evening in 184l, on torn
piece OF newspaper, and straightway
his imagination took fire at it. Taking
up piece Of paper, which happened
to be at the back of letter received
that day from Charles Summer, he
crowded it with verses. AS first writ
ten down, Excelsior differs from the
perfected and published version, but it
shows a rush and glow worthy of its
author. The Story of Evangeline'
was first suggested to Hawthorne by a
friend, who wished him to found a rO-
nance 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 tender
idyl."

statement: "The assumption that the
age of inspiration is past, that the BIZ
BILE is closed, the fear of degrading the
character of Jesus by representing Him
as man, indicate with sufficient clear
ness the falsehood of our theology"
In his closing years, according to his
friend Alcott, he wanted to be called
"a Christian theist" adding, You
must not leave out the word
Christian, for to leave that out
is to leave out everything" One
Of his sons, however, has denied that
his views were essentially changed
from first to last. II this is true the
charge Of pantheism is unjust. In his
Preacher he says: "Unlovely, nay
frightful, is the solitude of the soul
which is without God in the world.
= This chill, houseless, father
less, aimless Cain, the man who hears
only the sound Of his own footsteps in
Gods Respondent creation"
Emerson was a despiser of con-
sistency, terming it the vice of an
ignOble mind. He rose above petty
details, and his works are rather a
confused pile of thought gerras than
an orderly array of principles. He
makes no attempt to argue his readers
into any position. He simply tells
what he believes, sure that the truth
will speak for itself; witnessing itself
to the inner light that lighteth every
man. OF his genius there can be no
doubt. He will ever hold a place
among the first ranks of suggestive
thinkers. None can read him without
benefit, if they do not mistake his
fancies for sober truth instead of bril-
liant illustrations of certain phases of
that truth. He was eminently mys-
tic, not recorder of hard facts.
His life was a retired and scholarly
one, but his delving in mysteries did
not abate his interest in ordinary af-
fairs. He was an abolitionist before
the abolition movement had gained
strength, and he adhered to the un-
popular cause in days when it required
courage and self-sacrifice to do so. lie
has passed away at 70 with the respect
of even those who once deemed him a
fearful hereto, and his memory will
ever remain green, though fewer disci-
pies will sit unquestioning at his feet
than in the days when transcendental
theories were believed to be the great
intellectual and spiritual solvent.

A Woman's Thought.
Dr.. Foote's Heal.A. Mon.alY.


Experts in matters of science have
their uses, but in originality of inven-
ton they are often outdone by less
pretentious individuals, as is well
illustrated by story from Hoboken.
A woman who rented house there
felt certain that sewer gas was
escaping into the parlor from waste
pipes that passed through a corner
closet. She could not convince the
house agent of this until she had car
ried out what the sanitary inspectors
of this city call ''new and decidedly
ingenious experiment" She obtained
for this purpose some oil of valerian
and two cats; the former was poured
into the wash basins on the floor above,
and the latter were invited into the
parlor. The cats thereupon gave evil
dence that they had detected an agree
able odor, and, being left TO follow
their own inclinations, found their
way to shelf in the closet where they
settled themselves to enjoy the odor of
valerian which had attracted them
there. The ebdurate house agent was
then induced to engage a plumber to
tear away the plaster in the closet. A
waste-ripe was found completely dis.
jointed and giving free vent to all the
gases that found their way into it. Let
no one speak slightingly of women and
cats hereafter. They are again proven
to be useful as well as ornamental.

What Constitutes an Editor.

Mr.. Henry Watterson, of the Courier
Journal, himself one of the best editors
this country has produced, thus gives
his ideas as to what constitutes an
editor. Mr.. .WatteIson says:
Some people estimate the ability of
periodical and the talent of its
editor by the quantity of its original
matter. 1t is comparatively an easy
task for frothy writer to string out a
column Of words upon any and all sub
jects. His ideas may flow in one
weak, washy, everlasting food, and
the command of his language may
enable him to string them together
like bunch of onions, and yet his
paper may be but a meagre and poor
concern. Indeed, the mere writing
part of editing paper is but small
portion of the work. The care, the
time employed in selecting, is far more
important, and the fact of a good
editor is better shown by his selections
than anything else; and that we know,
Is half the battle. But, we have said,
an editor ought to be estimated, his
labors understood and appreciated, by
the general conduct of his paper-its
tone, its uniformity, consistent course,
aims, manliness, its dignity and its pro-
priety. To preserve these as they
should be preserved is enough &c
occupy fully the time and attention OF
any man. If to this be added the genera,
supervision Of the details of publica
ton which most of the editors have K
encounter the wonder is how they fint
time to write at all"
