From the Pen OF J. G. Whittier Previously
Unpublished.

We have been permitted by a relative OF
the lady in this city to examine a COPY OF
"Personal "Reminiscences" published BY
Priscilla Sewall Webster Page of Washing
ton, ID. c. 1t is good sized pamphlet of
l6O pages and is filed with interesting
sketches and anecdotes 10 the life of the
writer. Her father was John Ordway Web
ster who went to Vassalboro and settled in
1900. He resided there for
six years when he removed to
Gardiner with his family and became en-
gagged in the cotton trade in the South. In
The wicter of 1927 he died at Mobile, Ala

whom was Mrs. Page, then a little girl. re-
moved TO Augusta in the winter of 1880.
The lady attended Cony Female Academy for
several years, commencing in 1888 and it
was during the beginning of her academy
days that there came to Augusta for a sum-
mer Mrs. Nulcina, who established herself
at the academy boarding house as teacher OF
music. She possessed an autograph album
which was somewhat of a curiosity in
It's way. Among It's contents was a
poem written, as she said, by a very
prosy, awkward Young man who boarded in
the same house with her, and at whom she
was in the habit of poking fun rather merci-
lessly The evening before leaving her Bos-
ton boarding house she gave him her album,
requesting slip from his pen, upon which
he inserted the following lines, which it is
believed have never been published. Susan
Cony, cousin Of the author of the "Remin-
iscences," then young lady of sixteen wrote
them out and the poem is transcribed from
her neat little copy.
Thou art going hence-God bless theei
IhOu art going hence-farewelll
May the devil ne'er distress thee,
May the wide world thee we'll
Thou art going hence forever,
And thou sheddest not tear;
Ills well, for tears shall never
Lament thy leaving here.
"Yet, some will not forget thee
A torment as thou art;
And some will cen regret thee
Who do not weep to part.
"They will mis- thy merry laughter
| As the school boy does his rod,
| And the Jokes which followed after
| Thy visitings abroad.
| FAREWELL the Lord be near theei
| In thy future goings on,
And the pi0us shun and fear thee
As thy Quaker friend hath done.
"Thy life-may nothing vex it,

And at thy final exit
May the devil miss hs due.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.

-Newberry has had the pleasure of en-.
tertaining the State Convention of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
and We trust that the good work done
here will leave its effect upon our town
aud give new impetus to the efforts of
those who are already engaged in the
cause and add others to this number.
We believe the women of Newberry are
as enthusiastic for temperance as any in
our State; we know they are doing good
work, but they can and will do more.
They are getting terribly in earnest, and
we expect to see grand results at no
distant day. The women of South Caro-
lima have it in their power to bring about
complete revolution in society. They
can put in the minds and hearts of the
children of our country such truths as
will save thousands for grand and noble
purposes they can draw the line on
young men asking for enstance into So
ciety, so close that it will pay them to be
temperate. They can, by their influence,
enact reforms that ages without tho light
of the present day have failed to do.
We bid them God speed and promise to
give them all the encouragement possible
as long rs they keep in The line they are
10 day. What DIR. Carlisle can give
time and labor to is q safe investment for
us and the men of the entire country.
Let the good work 90 on until the evil is
put down, the homes made brighter, the
savings increased and loved ones eleva.

and society.-Ne,yberry Herald.

Cotton Planters

Some of our esteemed contemporaries
evidently have a poor opinion OF the
average cotton planter. The Vicksburg
Journal for example, when treating of q
possible organization againt the Ameri'
can Cotton Seed Oil Trust, says: "Ihe
planters would rather sink into object
poverty, than combine and stick together
as unit on anything, no matter now
vital to their interests"
The New Orlans Times Democrat
reviewing past evidence, is attempted to
endorse this jud cement.
"No country in the world" says the
Journal, sshas been more impoverished
than the cotton States through the sui.
cidal policy of selling the seed instead OF
returning it to the SOIL" If this be true,
how can such men expect to prosper? !?
They curse the tariff, and yet this
impoverishment appears to be largely of
their own improvidence and recklessness:
The Journal finally declares that "if
the present low price of seed shall cause
planters to put them op their lands, 1t
will prove the greatest blessing given to
Southern agriculture since the war;"
If cotton planters have so great an
advantage with their seed for fertiliza.
ton, and fail to use it, they would seem
to be victims of stupidity, as well as an
easy prey of the smart Yankee. People
who are weighed in the balance and
found wanting usually lose their posses.

Men Who Live in Trees.

DR.. Louis Wolf, who made the sensa.
tional discovery a while ago that the
Sankuru River afforded more direct
and more easily navigated route to Cen
trail Africa than the Congo, made another
discovery in the course Of the same jour-
ney, which was quite as remarkable if
not SO important. On the banks of the
Lomami River, far toward the centre OF
the Continent, he says he found whole
villages that were built in the trees. The
natives, partly to protect themselves
from the river when in food, and partly
10 make it more difficult for their ene-
mics to surprise them, baild their huts on
the limbs of the trees where the thick
foliage almost completely hides the
structures from view. The inmates
possess almost the agility Of monkeys,
and they climb up to or descend from
their little houses with astonishing ease.
1t is believed they are the only Africans
yet known who live in trees.
In Borneo some of the natives are said
to live in trees, and Mr.. Chalmers, in his
book on New Guinea, tells of number
of tree houses that he visited on that
island. These huts, which are built near
the tops of very high trees, are used for
look out purposes, or as place Of refuge
for women and children in case of attack.
They are perfect little huts with slipping
roofs and platforms in front, in which
extends the long ladder, by means OF
which the natives reach the huts. Mr..
Gill describes one of these houses which
was used as residence. He says it was
we'll built, but that it rocked uncomforta-
blv in the wind,

Wealth and Poverty.

Wealth aud poverty seem to be perpet-
ually on the increase in the world, the
rich growing richer and the poor poorer
steadily. Money compounded at z per
cent. doubles itself every eleven years:
A dollar invested, and the principal and
interest reinyested every year at that
rate, would in one thousand years, it is
said, amount to more than the worth of
the weight Of the world in gold. These
figures merely serve as illustration, for
money in large sums will not, as is well
known, bring 7per cent, nor can it gen.
orally be compounded. If money could
have been compounded the present
wealth of the world would be far beyond
calculation. It's consumption and de-
struction must have been enormous:
Nevertheless, how the great fortunes OF
Europe and this country must inevitably
increase, and in what alarming proper.
tion. If the fortunes of the Rothschilds,
the Barings, the Duke Of Manchester,
the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the Goulds,
and the rest double every fifteen or
twenty years, they must in time, unless
by some means arrested, as they are Ger
tain to be, absorb all the accumulatlons
of the world. The means by which they
are arrested are usually the breaking up
or dying out of families, their financial
misfortunes, improvidence or incapacity.
It is very seldom that a family holds
together, as, for example, the Roths-
childs, the beginning of whose prosper;
ity dates back only about 1SO years
Human nature and human destiny are
evidently opposed to the worlds wealth
becoming concentrated in few hands.
