Pursued by a Scientific Lunatic.

EufSucl ny SCicuiiuC bundtiCs
Joel C4and5sr Raryis IN LtpDjacotFs Magazine
f0r ADFH.
As this paper is to be part OF an expe-
rience meeting. may as well begin 1t by
relating how l have been pursued by
scientific lunatic who formerly hailed
from Florida. In 1870, while associate
editor of the Savannah MORNING NEWS,
was introduced by prominent gentle
man Of that city to a preacher from
Florida. | do not know to what religious
denomination this preacher belong d, but
he appeared, at first sight, to be very
serious person, full of grace and fervor.
He was fluent talker, and after 1 had
known him day or two be i'm
parted to me certain information
which he declared was of the utmost i'm
portance to the country and to myself.
He said he had discovered that the earth,
instead of being round, was shaped like
an egg, and that, instead OF revolving
around the sun, it was itself the centre
around which the sun reyOlved; that the
seasons, the periods OF heat and cold,
were the results OF the endOsmose and eX-
osmose processes; and so on and so forth.
My friend proved to be great bore. He
not only bad his theory, but he had COM
posed poem to describe and substan-
tiate it-a tremendous poem as to length
and this he left with me, stating that
he expected me to be the medium or the
means of bringing his eXtraOr-
binary theory and his remarkable
poem to the attention OF the public. l was
young man then-younger IN expert
ence than in years-and spirit OF mis-
chief, almost inc0nceivable in its stupid
ity, led me to write a satirical paragraph
or two about this preachers theory. He
sent for the manuscript OF his remarkable
poem, and made his way north ward,
probably to Chicago, and has busted him.
self with my biography from That day to
this. There is nothing malicious in his
inventions, and l have no doubt they are
worth something in the shape of adver-
| tsements, but their wild Improbabllity
has given them a place In the current
newspaper literature Of the day.
For instance, few readers Of this maya
zine have failed to see the announcement
| in the daily papers that ''the author OF
| Uncle Remus' is a native of Africa, hav-
ing been born at Joel, on the northeast
coast, of missionary parents" This is
! only one of many inventions which have
been put forth by my Florida friend.
He never falls to send me a marked copy
of the paper in which his inventions first
appear, attaching his initials, as If to re-
mind me OF the penalty of satirizing his
poem. But, as l have said, he is not
malicious. He merely insists that l was
born in Africa, and that my hair is snowy
white as the result Of a strangely rO-
mantle career He is determined that
| shall figure as a myth. | desire to say
here that have recOnsidered my youth
tul views in regard to his poem; more
over, l am willing TO give his theory of
the eXOsmOse and endOsmOse processes
complete, if not a cordial Endorsement.
When ones dearest enemy has access to
the columns OF Chicago newspaper it is
time to suggest a truce. l gladly hoist
the white flag.

The blacksmith's daughter said,
AS che took from her arm the kettle,
And lifted lts st.aming lid.
"There is not any pi. or pudding,
So | will give you this"
And upon his toll worn forehead
She left a childish kiss.
The blacksmith took off his apron,
And dined in a happy mood,
v ordering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food,
While about him were visions
Full of prophetic bliss;
But he never thought of the magic
In his little daughter kiss.
While she, with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away.
Stopping at sight of squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay.

THE wAsHERwoMAN's FRIEND.
BY EUGENE T. WARE.

In very humble cot.
In rather quiet spot,
In the sufs and in the soap.
Worked a woman full of hope;
Working, singing. ali alone,
In sort OF undertone,
with Saviour for friend,
He will keep me to the end"
Sometimes happening along,
had heard the semi-song,
And often used to smile
More in sympathy than guile;
But never said word
In regard to what heard,
AS she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee
Working all day long was she,
As her children, three or fosr,
Played around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song
She was hunming all day long.
"With saviour for friend,
He will keep me TO the end"
It's a soRg do not sing,
For ! scarce believe a thing
Or the stories that are tsld
OF the miracles of old;
But know that her belief
IL the anodyne of grief,
And will always be friend
just q trIfe Lonesome she,
just as poor a. poor could be,
But her tpirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And though widowed and alone,
Chsered her with the monotone,
OF saviour and friend
Who will keep her TO the end.
have seen her rub and scrub
On the washboard in the tub,
While the baby, sopped 10 suds,
Rolled and tumbled in the buds;
Or was adding in the pools
With Old scissors stuck in spools;
She still hunming Of her friend
Who would Keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs,
And would not wish 10 strip
From that washerWoman's lip
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that songs can bring;
For the woman has a friend
Who will keep her to the end.
