WE have to acknowledge the receipt of
the first number of the Planters Monthly,
the periodical which has been originated
by the Planters Labor 81 Supply Company
and issued under Its auspices. The major
portion of the present number is naturally
taken up with an account of the late meet
ings of our planters and of the Committee
reports which were then under considera-
ton. That portion of the report which re-
lates the proceedings of the Company after
the dissolution of the Planters Association
is taken from the ADVERTISER; and those
who would have liked to have had, in this
more permanent form, n good and complete
report of The previous meetings will regret
that the same course was not followed in
regard to them instead of their being
copied from the meagre reports of
the Gazette. Three pages of editorial
notes precede the reports. These contain
some suggestions for, and appeals to, our
planters which are worthy of their careful
attention. 1t is, we think, to be regretted
that some within of rigid econOm should
have induced this wealthy company to al
low a periodical, issued under it's auspices
and devoted to the interests of SO import
ant a section of this community to be print
ed on such miserable paper. We cordially
wish our new contemporary \ long and sue
cessful career of usefulness.

~ On Tuesday evening our townsman, Mr.. 5.
Macauley, was treated to a surprise party at his
residence III Fort-street by the band of the steam
yacht Ceylon. There were twelve instruments
beautifully played to the music of several we'll
known authors-operatic and other selections.
Each member OF this band is a solOist, and thor
oughly able to manipulate his instrument. Mr..
Maclean, a young gentleman resident here, I'M
dertook the conduct of the party-several
guests were in attendance (impromptu of course)
erallv had not the opportunity Of hearing this
fine band. Tunbridge Wells is the place from
whence this band was engaged, and no matter
where they may go they will make their mark as
thorough musicians in every respect. Mr.. Mac
auley, at any rate wishes to express his thanks
for the very great treat SO rarely occurring in
these islands.

Holiness First Poem,

''The first article of mine," said DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes, 'sthat ever saw
the light was little poem of four STAN
zas, entitled 'James's Tree A little lad,
son of the late Judge Dewey. of Massa-
chusetts, stuck a willow twig into the
ground of his father garden. which took
root after the manner of such twigs, and
grew into tree.
''The boy lived long enough to call
this tree his own, and to secure it's pro-
lection as such, and then he died. After
his death wrote the poem, and it was
published in the Youths Companion, a
publication still prosperous. 1 was then
seventeen years old, and that was forty
years ago. I took the printed copy con-
tanning it from the post-of1ice, peeped
within, and then walked home on air. I
shall probably never be SO absorbingly
happy as I was then. Earth has nothing
like it-earth never had anything like it
for me. have seen my work in type
since then, until have been tired of the
sight of it, but | can never forget the
great Joy of that occasion. Smith Col
lege, in Northampton, now stands on
the site of the old Dewey place, and
when they cleared things away for the
new buildings they found an old, gnarl-
ed willow tree. On learning the history
of the tree, and the nature of my own
association with it, President Seeley. had
book-rack, elegantly mounted, made
of it, and sent it tome. OF course it was
installed among my household goods. -

At Last!

The heather bloomed gayly along the
roadside; the hum of insects and the
voices of birds filled the summer air.
BY the brook that rippled merrily down
the mountain side stood a young man,
tapping impatiently with his cane tiny
foot that peeped out from beneath his
checkered pants. Brushed carelessly
away from his white forehead were two
golden locks, and No. hat was perch
ed jauntily on the back of his head.
''Will she never Gomez" he muttered,
in low, earnest tone; never come to
hear the sweet words of love that are
waiting on my lips for her?''
A fish rose to the surface of the brook,
looked at the young man, and went
away tired. Il will seek her." he said;
but as he turned to go pair of cleaning
arms were thrown around his neck, and
two rosy lips were puckered up for a
kiss.
$50 you have come at lastr' he said,
looking at her fondly.
''fes,' replied the girl. "Birdie Nc
Nulty never breaks a promise. l told
mamma she would have to hang out her
clothes herself to-day, although it near
ly broke my heart to leave her at such a
time.''
''Great heavens!' said Roderigo to
himself, Il had forgotten that it was
Monday"

Hooping a Barrel,

Putting hoop on the family -four
barrel is an operation that will hardly
bear an encore. The woman generally
attempts it before the man comes home
to dinner. She sets the hoop up on the
end of the slaves, takes deliberate aim
with the rolling-pin, and then, shutting
both eyes, brings the pin down with all
the force of one arm, while the other
one instinctively shields her face. Then
she makes a dive for the camphor and
unbleached muslin, and when the man
comes home she is sitting back of the
stove, thinking of St. Stephen and the
other martyrs, while a burnt dinner and
the camphor are struggling for the mas
terry. He says that if she had but kept
her temper she wouldn't have got hurt.
And he visits the barrel himself and
puts the hoop on very carefully, and
then adjusts it so nicely to the top of ev-
cry stave that only few smart raps ap-
parently are needed to bring it down all
right. And then he laughs to think
what a fuss his wife kicked up for sim.
pie matter that only needed little pa
tience to adjust itself, then he gets the
hammer and gives the hoop smart rap
on one side, and the other flies up and
catches him on the nose, filling his
soul with wrath and his eyes with tears,
and the next minute the barrel is flying
across the room, accompanied by the
hammer, and another candidate for
eamphor and rag is enrolled in the
great army that is increasingly march,
ing toward the grave.-Das6ury Nes0s.

He Knew Bouoicault,

A party Of gentlemen were supplng Al
the Vendome, when the conversation
turned on Boucicault. One of them, pro-
Tossing to know the actor intimately,
gave programme of what he was about
to do. A second knew how much he
was worth, and where his funds were
invested. A third, who also knew him
well, remarked that he had been guest
in the hotel lately, but. scared by the
presence of smallpox in the city, he had
secluded himself in Roxbury. A fourth
assured the rest that there was no epi-
demic in the matter; he knew for . fact
that he had been carried off by Miss
one Of the loveliest girls in Boston, and
had secluded himself with her. An old
gentleman, rising from the next table,
joined the group. Gentlemen" he
said. Il am the person you are speak
ing of. 1t always affords me pleasure to
learn in this manner what I am doing,
where am, and what am going to do;
it saves me the trouble of making up my
mind. I have no idea of what am
worth, but I dare say the estimate of
this gentleman may be correct. As for
the epidemic, I have lately been vac
cinated Intellectually. The complaint is
as Indifferent to me as the young lady
of whom you speak. It is flattering to
my 60 years to be accused of being car
ried off in such a lovely manner. don't
object to the simputation, but the young
lady might see it in another light" The
elderly gentleman then turned his back
on the most surprised party of the sea-
sOn.-B0St0a Herald.
