LOngfellOw's First Poem.

He was thirteen years old when, after
hearing a story about an Indian fight
years before at LovelPs Pond, there
appeared in the Portland Gazette q
poem on that event. The last verse
will answer as a specimen:
They died in their glory, surrounded by fame,
And victory's loud trump their death did pro-
They are dead, but they live in each patriots
breast,
And their names are engraven on honor's bright
crest.
Other boys of thirteen have written
better verses, and their "only interest
lies in their being the first of his print
ed" With trembling and misgiving
heart he had dropped them into the
printing Office letter-box. On the even
ing of the publication of the paper he
stood shivering in the November air,
casting many glance at the windows
as they trembled with the jar of the
ink-balls and the press, but afraid to
venture in. His sister, who had been
let into the secret, shared the impa-
tience with which next morning he
watched his father slowly unfolding the
damp sheet and holding it before the
wood fire, and then reading the paper,
but, if he saw the verses signed "Hen-
ry," saying nothing of them. At last
they got hold of it. To the boys mex
pressible delight the poem was there,
and he read and reread it with immense
satisfaction. In the evening he went
with his father to neighbor's, and the
talk turned upon poetry. "Did you see
the piece in the paper to-day?" asked
the neighbor. "Very stiff; remarkably
stiff: Moreover, it is all borrowed,
every word of it." The boy would
gladly have sunk through the floor, and
his pillow was wet with his tears that
night. It was his first encounter with
the "critic;" but it did not discourage
him. From time to time other pieces
appeared in the Gazette, and he wrote
a carriers New Years address; but
"they are not worth reprinting." Al
though he himself won wider fame
than Bryant, his early efforts we're not
as successful, Bryant's "Thanatopsis"
being regarded as unexcelled by few, il
any, of his later poems.

THE coQUETrE.


All, the soft. the perfumed iaces,
Oh the dear, distracting graces,
And her eyes
Like stars, that from their places
Look vory grave and wise;
Ani her morth in mute surprise,
Like poppy dream reposes
Til she speaks;
Thon smile breaks through the roses,
Through the darling, implied roses
OF her cEecRsi
Ali the dream she haf discloses
When she CHS.
Roses cannot bloom forever
They must fade.
WHO hath found light that never
Casts shade?
Lovers hath shc--scores OF lovers,
But to none her heat discovers
All her mind.
Cruel still, yet half rolenting,
scornful now, though half repenting,
To be kind.
Young and old men, saints and sinners,
Veterans scared AMI nav beginners,
Sue for love, but none are winners;
She is free
Heart and hand-anl life before her,
Free to lure each fond adorer-
Time and heavenly grace restore her
Blind is she.
Thus in years gone by
1penned the picture OF a fair coquette
To-day scan the lines-but with the sigh
Of heartful deep regret.
To lightly speak-at all-of womankind
Brings its reward Of pain,
And from remorseful thoughts the haunted mind
Shall seek release In vain.
But said not-the roses fall from blight
However fair they bloom.
And never yet was seen a glow OF light
Without the shadows gloom?

lovor sought her from the silent land,
And She unlike her old self Of the past
Gave him her heart and hand.
And so it came to be-
The cheerful bloom was faded from her cheek
Beneath the touch OF lips that did not speak,
But kissed her silently.
And yet-mayhap dreamed
But round her lips from whence there came nc
breath,
There played smile in which her soul did Soon
Couquetting still with death.
None shall shame her-none shall blame her,
Since her lover came to claim her,
And she gave him heart and hand;
For the angel that did bear her
Where the gates of heaven stand,
Ever after said, no fairer
Soul had reached that shining land.
Yet, of those who thronged to meet her,
Stretching out their arms to greet her,
There be some who still relate
How they wish for nothing sweeter
Than the smile she gave st. Peter
AS she entered through the gate.

FIENDS WRECK A TRAIN.
A Loaded Missouri Pacific Freight Train
Precipitated Into the River Near Wyan-
dotte, Kan.-TwO Men Dashed to Death.

uOtte, han.-IWO Men DaSheu TO Death.
A most diabolcal outrage was perpetrated
near Wyandotte, Kansas, says a dispatch from
that place. The spikes were drawn from two
rails ON the Missouri Pacific and a freight train
was precipitated into the river, killing the fire.
man and head brakeman.
The accident occurred half mile south of the
Wyandotte depot mt q point where the track
comes around lofty bluff that rises precipi-
tously from the bank of the Kaw River. The
train arrived on time and passed the station
without stopping. Five minutes later it dashed
round the fatal point the rails spread, the en-
gine lurched, and with a bound rolled over on
it's side. Two heartrending cries were heard
above the crash Of the collision, then the sound
of escaping steam, and in another instant the
wreck was in flames.
The conductor and rear brakeman, who came
upon the scene soon as they could, met the
engineer, j. II. Fowler, wading out OF the Kaw
River, into which he had been thrown when the
engine turned over. The Wyandotte fire de-
partment quenched the flames, and when the
smoke had cleared away shocking sight was
presented. The fireman, Ben Il. Horton, lay
ON his back, with his head toward the river.
The lower part OF his body was covered by the
cab, while the blood gushed from his nose and
mouth and formed in pools on the river bank.
A few feet away, partly covered by the tender,
lay the body of George Carlisle. the head brake
man, his face covered with blood. The lives OF
both were extinct, death having been caused
almost instantaneously by the escaping steam
and scalding water
An examination confirmed the first impression
that the wreck was the work OF train wreckers.
The spikes had been drawn the length OF two
rails ON the side OF the track nearest the river.
The fsh-plates had also been removed, leaving
the rails absolutely without protection, so that
when the engineer ran upon the first pair they
spread. The wreckers had apparently done
their work deliberately and with the knowl edge
that loss of life would result. The fsh-plates.
together with the bolts which held them,
and fifty-two drawn spikes, were lying beside
the track.
Three men were seen lurking in the vicinity a
short time before the train passed, and are sup
posed TO be the guilty parties.
The Missouri Pacific officials offer a reward Of
81 500 for information that will lead to the arrest
and conviction Of the parties. and 81, 900 for I'm
formation that will lead to the conviction OF any
one OF them The knights of Labor also talk
strongly of Offering reward.

History of the Eight-Hour Movement.

1t is difficult to fix an exact time at which
the eight-hour movement can be said to
have begun. Previous TO 1856 twelve hours
constituted days work. In that year the
working hours were decreased to ten, and,
generally speaking, have remained un-
changed up to the present.
The eight-hour day was established in
Australia thirty years ago, and one day in
each year-April 21-is celebrated in COM
memoration of the event-just as it is pro-
posed to celebrate May in this country
hereafter for like reason. The eight hour
movement in this country received its first
noticeable impetus just after the war of
the rebellion, and q million and half of
men, mustered out of the army, were thrown
upon the labor market, overstocking il to a
distressful degree. Eight-hour leagues
were formed throughout the country with
the aTowed purpose of securing decrease
of working hours, in order that there might
be corresponding increase in the number
of laborers, thus affording the idle sol
diers an opportunity of earning living.
In 1866 a labor convention was held in
Baltimore, at which delegates we're present
from all parts of the United States. II pro-
nounced in favor of an eight-hour working
day. Very little was said concerning any
change in current wages. The stone cutters
craft was the only one which, at that time,
secured the eight-hour day.
The agitation of the movement has con-
tinued more or less actively ever since.

Graham and Ibis Crime.

Graham, who was evidently moral monstros-
ity, was accused of the murder of his wife, and
the subsequent disposal Of her body by throwing
1t into n well on the farm of Mrs. Emma Mol
10y, the noted temperance evangelist. Graham
had lived ut Fort Wayne, Ind, where he mar
ried the woman he killed. For some of his in
fractions of the statutes he was twice sentenced
to the penitentiary at Michigan City. While
there Mrs. MolIoy became interest ted in the man,
and when his last term expired made an effort
to reform him. She gave him employ
ment, and while thus engaged he be-
came acquainted with Cora Lee. Mrs. Molloy's
suring the two women that his first wife had Sc
cured divorce while he was in prison. This
she had done, but they were afterward remar-
ried. Mrs. Molloy and Cora Lee were satisfied
that Graham was free of matrimonial entangle-
ments, and Cora was permitted TO marry Gra-
ham. The first wife, who had been deserted in
Fort Wayne, soon learned of Graham s last mar
riage, and prosecution followed in Springfield
for bigamy. Graham, to free himself OF this
trouble, induced bis first wife to leave Fort
Wayne and meet him in st. Louis, whence he
was to take her to Springfield and endeavor
to reach some solution Of the trouble.
After leaving ST. Louis Mrs. Graham was
never again seen alive by anyone who knew
her. Graham killed her to free himself
of the prosecution for bigamy. Her relatives
agitated the matter after her disappearance
until the Springfield authorities made search
and found her body in the abandoned we'll on
tie Molloy farm. Graham and Cora Lee were
at once arrested for the crime, and Mrs. Molloy
was taken into custody as she stepped from the
train ut Springfield on her return from pro-
fessionai tour in Illinois. The preliminary ex-
principal and the two women as accessories
Graham made several statements that impli-
Gated the two women, but his love of notoriety
evidently induced him TO write the letters pub
lished, and but little credence is given them, as
the man was entirely unreliable and never told
the truth IL he could in any way avoid it.

PrecOciOllS Children.

The idea that genius reveals itseii
early i'll life does not at once recon.
mend itself to common sense. Obser
walton Of Nature as whole suggests,
first OF all, perhaps, that her cho;ce1
and more costly gifts are the result Of
a long process Of preparation. And:
however this may be, there is ertain.
ly more moral suggestiveness in the
thought that intellectual dist ;nctior
is the reward OF strenuous adolescence
and manhood than in the suppositior
that it can be reached by the stripping
at bound through sheer force OF nu
tive talent. And it mag not improba
bly, have been lively perception ofthis
ethical significance which iostered ir
the classic mind so widespread "a dis.
belief in early promises OF great intel
iect ual power. We find typical ex.
preston Of th;:, serti.n3 ,,t in tie :;a,:
ing Of Quintl!ian: "Illud ingcniorum
velut pre;ccOS genus non tenere um
guam prevent ad frugen.,' That is
to say, the early blossom Of talent i:
rarely followed by the fruit Of great
achievement It is evident that thi:
saying embodies something like gen
eral theory OF the relation between
rank OF talent and rate OF develop
n1ent. Where superior intellectual.
ability shows itself at an early date
it is OF the sort that reaches it's full
stature early, and SO never attains tc
the greatest hight. On the other hand
genius of the finer order declares Itself
more slowly. In order to estimateth.
soundness Of this view, two lines OF
inquiry would be necessary. Weshould
need to ask, first OF all, what proper
ton OF those who had shown marked
precocitv have afterward redeemed the
promise OF their youth; secondly, what
number OF those who have unques
tionably obtained a place among the
great were previously distinguished by
precoc1ty. These two lines of investi.
CATION are, however, in a measure dis.
tiEct. It may turn out that a large
proportion OF clever children never at
tain to anything but mediocrity in la,
ter life, and yet that the majority OF
great men have been remarkable az
children. Hence, we may confne our.
selves in the present essay to the sec,
ond branch Of the above inquiry-tht
retrogressive search for signs OF pre-
cocity in the early live OF those who
have attained dlstinction.-Popula,
