Joshua NJ. Rice brought us yester-
day morning the first Strawberries Of
the season. We have never known
the strawberry to ripen so early IN
this section before, and attribute il
now to Mr.. Rice's method of propa-
eating and cultivating the fruit. Two
years ago he determined, If possible,
to originate an earlier variety of this
berry than then existed, and watching
his beds closely he selected the first
to ripen, and the early berries this
season are the. products of the one
plant two years ago. Mr.. Rice pro-
poses to call this new variety "Rice's
Extra Early" and will have the
plants for sale next fall. The berries
are fine size and well favored Clarks.

Said to Be a Fact.

The essence vender who called upon
Longfellow for poetry to be paid for in
essences, and whose story is good
naturedly told by the poot in his jour
nal, applied first to another New En-
gland poet at his home in the country.
He introduced himself as a "profes-
sor" of essences, and modestly request
ed the poet to make him an epitaph
for his wife, to be paid for in ''sassa-
fras, checkerberry or peppermint. "
He had put up stone-he gave its
weight and dimensions--and ALI that
was wanting was the muse's part.
The poet replied: ~ am very busy
just now, but there Is man down in
Cambridge who writes poetry some
times. Have you ever heard Of Long

JOHN VAN BUREN,.


How He Came to Pull His Father, the
President, Out OF Bed.
While his father was President young
John Van Buren, visited England, and,
as the son Of the President of the
United States, he received great atten-
ton. He dined with the Queen who,
was then young girl, where his supe-
riOr grace of manners, fine converse
tional powers, and witticisms made
him appear to greater advantage than
the titled Turkeys who were around
her Majesty. He attended one of
the balls at Buckingham Palace and
danced with her, and the story was
told that her Majesty became very
sweet on him. II was this incident
that gave him the cognomen of prince
Iohn," There was another story in
circulation about him which illustrates
his want of special reverence for his
father. The old gentleman and John
had a habit Of lying in bed late in the
morning. Finally one day the former
said TO his SOD that a reform must be
instituted-that both must rise earlier.
The hopeful agreed, and suggested
that the first one who got up should go
to the room of the other and pull him
out of bed This was agreed to, John
was out all the following night on a
"bum," and did not reach home till
next morning about five. He went to
his fathers room and took hold Of him
for the purpose of pulling him out Of
bed. The old man protested against
being disturbed, saying he had not had
sufficient sleep. "Look here, gov
ernor, it was your own proposition that
we should institute reform in regard
to lying in bed so late. Here l am up
at your request, and you won't fulfill
your part of the agreement. Remem-
Der, the one who got up first was TO
pull the other out Of bed. So now get
up or III pull you out" Tell 1t not in
Gath! This young scamp made the
President of the United States get up in
spite Of himself. After seeing the old
gentleman dress himself the rascal
sneaked to his own room and was soon
in his bed asleep The story got out by
John telling it ~ his father to lot Of
boon companions. John afterward
became a famous lawyer and politician.
He was one of the most eloquent speak
ers l ever heard, Cleveland Leader,
