John Finley, the Author of 1.-THE Hoosier's

Richmond, Ind, Letter to Commercial Gazette.
My first poetic inspiration may be dated
from the time hen John Finley was pointed
out TO me, and / was led to read his poem,
1.-THE Hooeier's Nest" Its fame has gone
abroad over the and since that time and his
poem will live in Western literature as long
as books shall be read.
It was written as an amusement betw een
working hours. He was tanner in the viii
lage of Richmond for many years, and after
wards Mayor OF the city when 1t reached
thst dignity.
He collected his poems and had them pub
lished under the title of THE Hoosier's
Nest" short time before his death. In his
brief preface be says: Had / cultivated
the poetic vein of which feel myself cspa-
BILE, might have offered something more
worthy of public consideration. The events
OF the late war have given many a theme to
the poetic pen, of which might hsSe ayss; lsd

poem:
I'm told, in riding somewhere West,
A stranger found HOLSTERS nest,
IN other words, q buckeye cabin,
Just big enough to let Queen Nab in:
Its situation low but airy,
Was on the borders of fhe praire;
And fearing he might be benignted,
He hailed the house and then alighted.
The Hoosier met him at the door,
Then salutations soon were DER
he took the strangers horse aside
And to sturdy sapling tied.

The stranger stopped to enter in,
The entrance closing with pin,
And manifested desire
TO seat him by the log heap fire,
Where half dozen Hoosieroons
With much and milk, tincups and spoons,
White heads, bare feet and dirty faces
Seemed much inclined to keep their places.
But Madam, anxious to display
Her rough, but undlsputed sway,
Her offspring to the ladder led.
And cuffed the youngsters up to bed

Dried pumpkins overhead were strung.

Freaks of Memory.

There are many cases on record of memo
ries so treacherons that men have forgotten
their own names. One of the funniest in
stances of a capricious memory is gwen by
Joseph Jefferson, the actor:
A story is told of an English actor. who,
after playing one part for very long time,
forgot his lines one night.
TITS very strange" said the stage mana
ger, when the actor came OF, that you are
not perfect in that Part by this time. You
have been playing 1t for two hundred
nights"
"Well," said the actor, do you expect me-
to remember it foreverP

A Sensible Woman.

A plsin little woman am I,
Quite modest in manner and dress;
From home ! am awfully shy,
But dignfed, nevertheless.
And yet when walk on the street
And know l an very demure,
I'm eyed by each man that I meet
IN wsy / can hardly endure.
The queer little dudes without sense,
Like monkeys, each sucking a stick,
Shoot glances they think are intense
think the poor creatures are sick.
The withered old tops gsily dressed,
With hair dyed so painfully plain,
Stare wickedly al ne. I've guessed
Alright, those old fools are insane.
Each man. whether little or big,
Or fat, or thin as ghost
Insultingly stsTes like pig
And married men ogle me most.
II twice should look az the geese,
'Twould make them so bold with conceit
That II would take all the police
To Aeep them from blocking the street.
Bah Men are too stupid to know
That women all laugh at their ways,
And feel the disgust that they show
At folly man Sainly displays.

Reading and EIocution.

L4-ASAdDecI
Doubtless you have all heard some of the
so-cslled elocutionIsts go through with their
readings or Rotations, and perhaps you
have been more or less attracted by their
thur der tones and astonishing gestures, and
have wished that yeu might % and do like
wise.
Don't do it unless you feel within you an
unmistaksbie call 10 pursue the art as al
art for lis own pleasant and unseldsh re-
wards. Real elocution, not the sham per.
foTmsnces that are sometimes called so, is a
fine art, the same as music, painting, sculp-
tOre, and the people who have the talent to
become Evolutionary artists ara as rare as
diamonds among pebbles. Real eloc ation-
lists never initiate anybody else; they lust
develop their own talents and make the
most of themselves. But poor elocutl onists,
and there are thousands of them, are always
trying TO use the same tones and gestures
and, IN fact, do everything Just as som sb0dy
else does; and the result is that. as soon as
they have learned q few pieces by note, they
get Up before an audience, either in public
or among their friends, and rant and tear
and Lowl and swing their arms wildly
about, without the slightest approach to
DSturalness or artistic taste and feeling.
such exhibitions as that are very offensive
10 people Of good taste. Besides that il seems
TO turn nice, sweet modest girls-yes and
nee, sweet modest boys, too-into bold and
unpleasant creatures who care only to get
up before people and show how very affected
end loud they can bs. Sensible girls and
boys shGz everything of that kind.
1t is net in you 81 to make fine elocution-
airy artists, any more than il is to make
painters or sculptors, bat it is il you all to
make good plain readers, and this is a very
nice, useful, and entertaining accom- plish-
ment To be good reader OF ordinary liter
allure is to give both pleasure and profit to
yourself and your friends To be this you
must box up the meaning OF words you do
not know, and try to utter your sentences
clearly and coDnectedly; as you would nat
urallY speak. At the same time you should
try, to cultivate clear, pleasant, well moder-
sted roices. So you see that it is really a
great thing to be good, plain reader. 1t is
a much finer accomplishment than to try
to be one Of the high flown, initiative elocu.
tionIsis, most Of whom can not really read
c1mDon literature we'll at all.
