DIR. Holmes ON His Poems.

At recent session of the Boston
Women's Educational and Industrial
Union DIR. Holmes was greeted with a
perfect ovation by his audience. The
first selection was "Old lronsides,
that piece dear to the heart of every
school-boy orator and almost as fami-
liar as household word. 1t is one of
DIR. Holmes earliest productions, but
from the manner in which it was rem
dered it was evident that the fire and
spirit which originally inspired the
writer were not yetextinguished. .'The
next piece l will read, said the doc
tor, was composed at time when
physicians were not so much given to
teetotalism as at present. 1t was
written for a gathering at the residence
of DIR. Reynolds when loaned him my
silver punch bowl !" DIR. Holmes then
read his poem, ION Lending Punch
Bowl" The following lines, read with
that unctuous humor characteristic of
DIR. Holmes. caused great merriment:
That night affrghted from his nest the
screaming eagle flew;
lie heard the Pequot's ringing whoop, the
soldiers wild halloo;
And there the sachem learned the rule he
Run from the white man when you find he
smells of Holland GIN"
The next selection was the we'll
known poem entitled "Contentmentn
John Quincy Adams said DR..
Holmes, .'wrote poem somewhat
similar to this, though many years
previous to my production. Like my
self, he borrowed line from Oliver
al l,,,t L.
different results" The audience laugh
ed heartily on the reading of this poem,
and the modest requirements of the
man who wished to be contented.
"Bill and 10" was then read. .This
poem," the doctor said, twas a partic-
ular favorite of John G.. Whittier" 1t
was followed by Brother Jonathan s
Lament for Sister Caroline. This
poem" said DR.. Holmes, II am very
fond of, for even among his own writ
ings person has preference. 1t was
written before the war, when South
Carolina first seeded, and | received a
number of letters from gentlemen re-
siding in that State which showed that
even during the war there was some
kindly feeling towards the Northern
ers. That exceedingly comical poem,
IA Farewell to Agassiz, " written when
the professor started on his trip of in
vestigation to the Andes Mountains,
was next read. followed by 1.-The Sep
TENDER Gale and IAN Old Mans
Dreams. This last poem, said the
doctor, 'was written in 1854, when
considered myself very old man,
much older than do now.' BY spe-
cial request, Dir. Holmes read his we'll
known poem, dorothy @. He gave
a brief description of the portrait on
which the piece was written, and stated
that the picture had undergone repairs
which would tend to preserve it for a
long time. The original canvas had
been removed from the back and new
cloth had been applied. 1t was at
present, he said, in his library, where
he would be happy to show it to
any who might desire to see it. The
familiar lines gathered fresh beauty
from the lips of the author, particularly
| the Oft-uuoted verse.

Wisconsin Singers Invited,

The managers of the Wisconsin State
Musical Association extend a cordial inyi-
tation to all singers in the state to take
part in it's festival to be held in Milwaukee,
commencing on the morning of June16, 1t
is desirable to learn at as early a date as
possible the intentions of those who desire
to participate. Circulars and any informa-
ton about the convention will be promptly
sent to all who correspond with the secre-
tary, Mrs. w. III. Starkweather, of Milwau-
kee. Low rates of railroad fare and free
entertainment as far as possible will
be secured for members. Since the issu-
ing of the first circular the Thomas
Orchestra complete, with his celebrated
artists, Fursch- Madi, Frau Materna, Emma
Juch Clapper, Winch and Heinrich, have
been engaged, and will appear at the two
concerts of the association, and at a Satl1r-
day matinee given by the children of Mr..
Tomlins' class. Selections from Handel
will be rendered at the second concer5. in
commemoration of his bi-centennial birth
day, and will form a part of the study of
the convention. The engagement of the
Thomas Orchestra is SO recent that the
programme has not yet been decided upon.
1t will be announced in a few days.

Another Charlie Ross Story.
[From the Boston Herald /

From the Boston Herald
The latest attempt to impose on the
parents of the long-lost Charlie Ross
was reported yesterday by a personal
friend OF the Ross family. 1t happened
but few days ago. What had the APP
pearance of being well-dressed young
man called on Mr.. Ross at his home in
Philadelphia, and stated that he had
reliable information that the abducted
son was at a certain place in England.
He said that if the father would pay
the expenses he would willingly 60 and
fetch Charlie home. Mr.. Ross re-
quested a second interview, and on in
vestigation it was discovered that the
young person was woman from New
York city, who had donned male at
tire. She acknowledged that her in
tentlon was to work upon the sympa-
thies Of Mr.. Ross to such an extent
that he would advance the money for
tickets. On further inquiry it was
found that the woman was the newly
made wife of a New Yorker 72 years
of age, and that she, becoming tired of
living with him, had taken this means
to avail herself of a European pleasure
trip. The plan failed. Mr.. Ross and
his wife are still hopeful that some day
the missing boy may berestored. The
public sympathy expressed for the
family is remarkable. For along time
Mr.. Ross has received annual passes
from the managers of different rail
roads. Sometimes as many as three
new clews to Charlie will develop in
different parts of the country in a
single week, while, again, several weeks
will pass without a single bit of new

the musical treat in store for her, onlv
vaguely comprehending it all. On ev-
cry side the buzz of conversation bore
the name of the great l., the fa-
NOUS violinist, whose Cremona seemed
gifted with speech under the touch of
his inspired fingers.
1t was like dream. A white-robed
lady came upon the platform and
sang, a gentleman played solo upon
the piano. Then there was a great
noise of people clapping their hands
and stamping their feet, fairly Devil
dering poor country-bred Daisy.
A great hush, and softly, familiar as
mothers voice, there fell upon Dali
sy' ear the notes of a violin, bearing
out upon the air the melody of Rer-
ben's Carnival of the Birds"
She looked up then and met the soft,
dark eyes of her lover watching her
face as ne drew his bow across the
strings. Not sound but the music
Of the wondrous violin broke the still
ness ofthe vast room, where one mans
genius kept the crowd spellbound.
1t was over, and the great violinist
bowed and was gone Again the deaf
ening, tumultuous applause, and Reu-
ben was back again, playing an air
unfamiliar to Daisy, but seeming to
answer all the deep Joy of her soul.
Twice Reuben played, recalled each
time, and then the concert was over,
and their escort led Uncle Josiah back
to the carriage, Daisy clinging fast to
his arm. At the door of their private
parlor their new friend babe them
good night, and opening the door they
stood face to face with Reuben. Not
the pale, sad boy of a year ago, but q
man, self-reliant, glad and noble, one
who had found his life-work and was
doing it well.
Uncle Josiah found the strap of his
glove most unmanageable while Reu-
ben clasped Daisy in his arms, and
low, tender words fell from the lips Of
both.
But when Reuben, clasping Daisy
still, held out his hand, the farmer
grasped it hard.
"No doubt [ was an old fool, Reu-
ben," he said; "but am not too old
to learn"
And Reuben, over the dainty supper
that was presently served, told them
how his violin had won him fame and
gold-more than Uncle Josiah had inn
agined man could earn in ten years.
81 have an offer to- 60 abroad, uncle, +"
Reuben said, "and if accept | must
sail next month. May take Daisy ?"
eyes, lad. You've kept your prom
Use, iii keep mine"
"You are my guests this week, and
then Pm free till we sail, so we may GO
home for the wedding, f" Reuben said.
And Uncle Josiah, with inward mis-
givings about the boy, yielded to
Daisy's pleading face and consented to
the argument.
A week of sightseeing, shopping, in
tense happiness, with three of the con-
certs where Daisy's heart was divided
between love and pride, and then away
to the farm.
There was quiet wedding, and Aunt
Polly wept over the long separation to
come, but the little bride had no mis-
givings when she turned her face from
her old home to cross the wide ocean
with her husband. And Reuben, in
his greatest triumphs, when crowned
heads were bent to listen to the voice
of his genius, would ever turn his eyes
to where, in some quiet corner, he
knew Daisy, too, listened to his
violin

A RIVER TO CROSS.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD

For the treasures of precious worth.
d We we must patiently dig and dive;
For the places we long to fill.
We must push and struggle and drive.
And always and everywhere
Wen IND on our onward course,
Ihorns Tor the feet and trials to meet.
And q difficult river to cross. ''

THE PIONEERS.
BY SAMUEL BAXTER FOSTER.

Alas for the daring spirits,
Now passed from earth away,
Whose nObleformS are resting
Beneath their kindred clay:
Who, spent with toll and hunger,
Lay calmly down to Gle
With none but God above them
To catch their latest sigh.
Forth went those desert wand rers
AS steadfast, true and bold
As ever bearded pilgrim
Who sought the shrines of old;
Forth went they in their manhood
To dare the tracBless wild,
But on their safe returning
No friends looked forth and smiled.
Their gaze was on the future,
When meath the Western skies
And mid these tangled marshes
Fair cities soon should rise;
When farms and peaceful hOmeSteads
Should shine and nestle there,
And lowing herds and reapers
Make music in the air.
Across the fertile regions,
With ruddy corn now spread
These struggling men first wander d
With slow and weary tread;
And many of these pilgrims
Fell, silent, one by one
Till many weary bodies
Lay fostering in the sun.
Oft as the hosts of commerce
Ger earth go marching on,
Some whitening bones will show us
Another outpost won;
Yet will each holder spirit
Still ever seek the van,
Till desert, prairie, forest,
Confess the sway of man.
So in the path of learning,
OF science, Liberty,
Will minds of highest mettle
The foremost strive to be;
What though they fail of reaching
Their grand and lofty prize,
At least their PROSTATE bodies
Shall help mankind to rise.
Then hail the noble vanguard,
The worlds brave pioneers,
All honor to their courage,
To their memory our tears
Theirs is the suffering hardship,
The seed time and the toll;
For those who may come after
The harvest and the spoil.
Shall we who reap their sowing
Think lightly of our trust,
Or bend our heads in silence
And let our treasures rust9
Nay, let our toll, tribute,
Above their tombs be seen,
Whilst we as faithful stewards
Preserve their memory green.
