WALT WHITMAN.

the fund being raised in England as a
"Free-wiIl offering TO our American
poet. Walt Whitman, had reached the
sum of GIl5. and further contributions
are solicited. The contributors hitherto
are chiefly OF that London and Man
chester coterie who affect at once tile
spiritual and the naturalistic in poetry.
In Whitman they have found spirit and
manner which they believe renovatlng
TO literature. In America there is a
small company who take similar views OF
Whitman's poetry On the other hand,
the general public, represented BY news
papers. do not take a serious view oil
Whitman at all he is merely the butt of
their ridicule and ready mine for squib
and parody. Stedman, poet as we'll
as critic, has lately given to his work d
laborious and earnest review. The as
tonishment, the beWilderment which his
poetry at first excited has worn of and Il
more calm consideration of its charaC-
teristics is now attempted.
Meanwhile, the poet himself receives
at the hands of his friends frequent
tokens of their affections, as the English
subscription shows; and gifts are not con-
fined to one nation alone, or to one class.
The poet now lives at Camden, New
Jersey, humbly, but by no means desti-
tute. The Italian poet, Alheri, thought
four horses were enough for poet
Whitman is contented with one, which
enables him, now old and partially pal
sled, to take the ar and see the world
though not, as formerly. in his shirt
sleeves, nor with that strenuous, all-in-
Guiding embrace of his youth. His
old age is serene, and has not forgotten
its past, nor apologized TO-. it. Yet GER
tain uncouth strains of his early Tyre he
never struck again; but this is not to re-
pent, to recant: it is to learn, to advance,
to bring the strings of the instrument
into nearer accord with the heart off
man.
He has maintained, however, through
out his career as poet,so many divergen-
cies from the poetry of all previous ages
that controversy arose among readers
and critics which still goes on, although
not so bitterly as formerly Itseems un-
fortunate that disputes should arise in
the gardens Of the MUSES., SO that one
hardly knows whether he is there or in
the dusty arena of poIitcS and religion.
1t makes doubt in my mind as to what
will be the fate Of Whitmans poetry

about Whitman poetry as piece OF

ANYTHING can be borne better, say the
strugglers for literary reward, than the
Indifference of the public. If this tame
and noise of contending factions be good
luck for a writer, then Walt Whitman
has been the hckiest of American poets.
| do not wish to Join in the disputations
over his poetry. 1t will be more profitable
to the reader and myself first to read it
carefully and without bias, and then, re-
membering other poetry about which
there is no difference of opinion, compare
its spirit with such and mediate over
the impression it leaves upon the mind.

but You shall buy copy first, which
will be far more satisfactory way OF as
sisting the old and deserving poet than
putting your name and your dollar to
the subscription list. The laborer is
worthy of his hire; pay him first, and
afterward consider what debt of graft
tude may be remaining. Who is more
worthy ola pension than Walt Whitman
Certainly no war-Worn soldier, no one
armed captain. For he gave strength,
health, all that he had, and was in the
nursing OF sick and wounded soldiers,
And from the government of this repub-
lie he has received only deep insult,
which struck at his honor in removing
him from an humble office on account
of the publication of the poems now under
notice.
But friends rose up, and by their pro-
tests and detenCes covered in eternal
obloquy the name of the minister who
caused his removal. This incident, with |
other causes, has gathered around Walt
Whitman a band of afectionate admir-
erS' greatly attached to his personality
and who have Championed his poetry
with such fiery zeal as to obscure tn,
vision OF one who wishes to weigh and
consider it calmly and without partizan-
ship.
1t will make clearer the path to a con-
Slderatlon of his work if we set down
bnelly the points about which there is
disagreement among critics and readers.

FOLDED HANDS,

rolded meath the waving grasses, Oh the
star-iit, westward hill,
Free from life and all its clamor. they are
resting white and still:
Little hands that knew no labor. wrIt,kle1
hands that knew no rest,
Ere they drifted from the river to the haven
of the blest.
Dimpled hands, like waxen lilies, folded with
a baby grace,
MID the blossoms that were scattered DER
the little form and face:
ana, mayhap. for some lone mourner who
their gentle touch doth miss,
Ihey are reckoning in their beauty to the
portals bright with bliss.
Fair white hands, like snowy daisies folded
Ger a youthful heart,
Fairer far than sculptured marble or the fair
est dream of art;
OFT within the peopled pathway toiled they
with a gladness gold.
But the toiling all is over, and they rest in ST.
lence cold.
Weary hands, like withered roses, folded DER
an aged breast,
And the hands that long nave labored nave at
last found perfect rest;
Long they toiled with weary weaving while
the storms around them ragged,
Till they wove the siIv'ry col0rs woven only
by the aged.
As look from out my casemen when the
stars are all alright,
Yer the silent sleeping city with its spires 80
tall and white.
Think l OF the hands long folded in a strange
and mystic spell,
And ! would that some bright angel might to
me their story tell.
Did they weave their web of living with q
gold and silver thread
I'll a Christ,y light from Heaven DER the gar
ment bright was shed?
Or in hues of somber blackness did they sit in
sin apart,
Weaving only from the fancy and the weak
ness of their hearth
Tell me, o. some white winged angel, if the
story thou dost know;
But no answer breaks the silence Ger the
weaving long ago,
so ponder, half forgetting that full soon all
white and still

FLAX PRODUCTION.
It Is Declining In the East, But Growing in
the West.

1t Is Declining in the East, But Growing in
the West.
The area in flax has declined heavily
in recent years in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, and increased largely in
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Dakota. The crop of last year is
about fifty per cent, larger than that of
the census year, or nearly eleven mill
IONS of bushels Uf seed apparently.
There is little now produced in any
Eastern State. 1t has been seeded in
preference to wheat on large areas of
the Northwest during recent years.
A comparison of the returns of the
United States Census of 1880, for the
crop year 1879, with the returns of sew
eral of the tlax-growing States for
1884, exhibits these local changes of
crop area in a striking light. 1t shows
a tendency to enlargement of flax cult
ure on the Virgin soils of the once
Western States, and TO reduce il on
soils which have been longer in cultiva-
ton.

n ~SUGAR.BEET
A Crop Whose Cultivation Would Create
y Diversity of Labor.

n Diversity Of Labor.
Sugar-beets are a crop very easily
raised, and in good soil the product is
abundant. All cattle are fond of the
leaves which add much to the milk OF
cows, without giving 1t that bad taste
which is unavoidable when they are fed
with turnips or cabbages, and which is
chiefly owing to the greater rapidity
with which the latter undergo the pu-
~trefactive fermentation.
The seed is sown in drills 20 to "a
inches apart. and thinned out to the
distance of 8 to u inches from plant to
plant in the rows. From four to six
pounds of seed are required per acre,
and they should be stepped forty-eight
hours before planting; the best depth
for sowing, is from three-fourths of an
inch to an inch; the culture is similar to
that of carrots or parsnips, and the cost
for seed, labor and fertilizers will
amount to about $40 per acre.
The yield, according to the quality OF
the land fertilizer used and the cultiva-
ton bestowed, should average not less
than PIT tons or 90Ss bushels bests per
acre and 81 tons beet leaves.
Analysis shows that 1000 pounds of
sugar-beets contains 1874 pounds dry
substances, 1.60 nitrogen, ITO ashes,
s.s14 potash, O.379 lime, 0.536 mag
nesia, 0.7S0 phosphoric acid. In manu-
featuring, these elements are distributed
