a Story of Whittier.
Boston Advertiser.

did you ever hear the story of
Whittier and the cabbage?" asked an
old friend recently; cit may have
been told before, but it is worth re-
peating now. He hates the odor OF cab:
bage, like most sensible men, and has
a cordial horror of the right smell in
the wrong place. as Henry James calls
the fragrance OF dinner in the hallway.
One day, however, a cabbage was
cooked at Oak Knoll and most Of it
was left over. In difference to her
cousins olfactories the mistress OF the
house directed the cook to put the
cold cabbage on the top shelf in the
pantry until the next day. ;
In the course of the afte.nf Mr..
Whittier was seen digging in gar
den. A member OF the family asked
him what he was going to do, but he
put her off with a merry twinkle in his
eye. When in the course ofhousehold
events, the cook sought the cabbage,
it was gone. Mr.. Whittier had traced
it to its eyrie; he had climbed up and
had borne it away in triumph, and in
defiance of domestic economy had
buried it in the garden. Il tell the
story as it was told me-" said his
friend. Call it "How the Poet Plant
ed a Cabbage (boiledj."

about them, the two little tots did
not heed the rapidly.nearing danger
nor hear the shout that went out to
them from the sidewalk. But the
homeless dog did. Sprinsing between
the children and the advancing
horses, he barked, his shrill treble
rising high above the clamor of the
street.

Lie long rays OF sunllgnt paled from

not spoken of the future. Josepha had
her fathers own pride and strength of

tally marshalled my forces and prepared
to advance. First, I meant that she

old blunderer, who deserved to be well
kicked for his unutterable stupidity.

JOSEPH II. MGRAw.

Tribute to the Late Deputy Collsctor-Weil
Known In wheeling.
The late Joseph H. McGraw, who met
with such sad and sudden death at his
home in Grafton short time since, was
well known in this city, where for some
months he had been located as deputy
in charge of the internal revenue office.
During his stay in Wheeling he made
many friends, and expressions OF deep
regret at his untimely end are daily
heard. Had he been u native Of the city
the news OF his death could scarcely
have produced more Of shock, or been
felt by larger circle OF acquaintance:
His old companions in Wheeling will
appreciate the following closing para
graph from an obituary published IN q
recent issue OF the Grafton Times: HE
Joseph II. McGrawl was gentleman
Of fine literary attainments, of superb
social qualities, and numbered his
friends by the legion. He was borne to
the grave on Saturday last, followed by
almost the entire community with bow
ed heads and bereaved hearts. 1t was
the most imposing funeral pageant ever
witnessed in this city, and most ten
der and touching tribute to his many
noble qualities OF head and heart. He
was a man in the broadcast, brayest and
noblest sense, and yet he had his faults,
but they were the frailties OF q lofty
soul, q generous heart, magnanimous
and manly nature. He was ardent in
his attachments, strong and loyal and
true in his friendships, and his memory
will be long aud gratefully cherished by
the humble and lowly for his many
deeds of transformations charity. Amid
the sunny scenes of his happy child
hood, and beneath the green sods OF his
native hills he now sleeps, while his
manly spirit has sped onward and up
ward to his God, who is all tenderness,
mercy and love. God lift the shadow
from the household, staunch the wounds
OF sorrow, bind up the bleeding hearts
and give them beauty for ashes, the oil
OF Joy for mourning; and the garment
OF praise for the spirit OF heayiness.'"
