A MAN OF MANY POEMS.

On the top floor of one Of the tai
lest buildings in upper New York
tolls an old man who has probably
written more poetry than any other
single man living. His business is
that of writing the 'poetic" notices
which one finds in the cheap candies
of the day. Poetry which could
never see the light of day in any other
way is hidden in these tissued-paper
party" candies.
| had an interesting talk with this
man a few days ago. He has been
20 years in the business, is over 60
years of age and has accumulated a
fortune, although he still keeps up
the same mOnOtOnOus pOetlcal grind.
ct is a curious trade, you think, l
suppose said the old man, yet
some one must do it, and it is very
profitable. have built IA city and
country houses out of it, and in a
year or two l shall lay down the
pen for good, and let some one else
take up the work. How do l write
so much Why, it has become
second nature to me. These mot
toes are simple, anything will do,
and the more silly they are the bet
ter. l know it is perfect trash, and
it is preposterous to dignity the
things with the word poetry
spend three days every week here,
and reel off, 1 suppose, a hundred of
these things every day. Why, l Of
ten eat my lunch in one hand and
write with the other. Yet, as l say,
it is profitable, much better than
writing bad novels, for, after all, my
verses never do harm. They are
silly, 1 grant you, but perfectly
harmless, and young lads and girls
laugh to be merry over them. Dear
me, 1 suppose I've married many a
couple with this pen, and if you'll
excuse me I'll just write a score or so
more before we go out to lunch, :"
and in about fifteen minutes the old
man was ready to go with me, car
rying in his pocket an envelope full
as the result of an hours work

COL. INGERSOLL ON GIFT
GIVING.

III believe in the festival called
Christmas-nOt in celebration OF
the birth ofany man, but to cele-
brate the triumph of light over
darkness-the victory of the sun.
| believe in giving gifts on that
day. aud real gift should be given
to those who cannot return it; gifts
from the rich to the poor, from the
prosperous to the unfortunate,
from parents to children.
There is no need of giving water
to the sea or light to the sun. Let
us give to those who need, neither
asking nor expecting return, not
even asking gratitude, only asking
that the gift shall make the re-
ceiver happy-and he who gives in

HOW WOULD THIS DO 4!

Hundreds Of farmers and stock.
men of limited means throughout
this section will heartily amen"
the following timely suggestion of
the Port Gibson Reveille:
"Did you ever notice that in nine
cases out of ten the mau whose
mule or COW is killed by a railroad
train is the poor fellow who can
least afford to stand the tedious,
wearlsome delays incident to a
settlement? The man with one
mule, upon the unimpaired health
of which depends the years crop
and the food and clothing of the
family, is the man of all others to
wake up some bright morning and
find the locomotive power of the
farm victim to the locomotive
power Of the railroad.
Now, IN all conscience, should
not the company be willing to settle
within a reasonable time?
What is the advantage in with
holding payment for six months or
year, except to wear out the loser
and in the end beat him in a CONS
promise 7?
The state should look after the
welfare of its citizens in matters OF
this kind, as in all others. Why
should the Legislature not fix a
limit-say. thirty days-within
which claims for stock must be
finally adjusted, or suitable fine inns
posed ?'
