poems-so high, he says, that he could
hardly bring himself to accept them. The
highest of these was 81 900 paid by the New
York Ledger for ninety-six lines, entitled
s'The Captains Well"
This poem, which was written three
years ago, and may safely be set down as
Mr.. Whittier's last one of great length. has
an interesting bit of local history for its
theme. In the last quarter of the eigh-
teenth century Valentine Bagley, young
man living in Amesbury. went to sea and
soon became Captain Bagley. When he
In the Red sea and he was cast
upon the shore of Arabia, where he was
seized and sold into slavery by the Bed
ouins. After many years he escaped and
fed TO the great Arabian desert, where he
wandered until he nearly persisted of
thirst. Then, for the first time in his life.
he thought of prayer. As he supplicated
heaven for aid the picture of bis home in
Amesbury rose before his mind, and, with
the finest regard for detail, he vowed that
II the Lord would help him back to Ames-
bury he would dig a well in certain spot
by the roadside near his home and dedi-
cate in to the Lord.
brought home. On the first morning after
his arrival he proceeded to dig in the
designated spot. His neighbors asked
whether he was digging for gold and he
said no, he was digging for something
moro precious--water. The spot had not
been tried by water witch and they told
him he would probably not find a spring
there, but he answered that, shallow or
deep, he should dig just there till he came
10 water.
"But," they argued. "you have q well
and all your neighbors have wells"
"Yes." said he, 'every man has well:
and now l am digging one for the Lord"
They thought his dreadful hardships
had unbalanced his mind, and, being sure
that he would not strike water there, they
were counseiling as To what they would
better do with him, when he came scram-
bling out of his well, followed by gush
of pure, cool water which rose almost to
the brim. The captain built curb over
the well and passed the remainder of his
days sitting near il. keeping the ample
trough full and cool and inviting man and
beast to stop In passing and partake freely
of Gods best gift to earth.
Captain Bagley died in 1889 at the age Of
66, but the well still remains, though the
decayed curb was taken down about ten
years ago. Mr.. Whittier was 81 years old
when the captain died and had known him
for many years.
Captain Bagley's tombstone still stands
in the burying ground on the hill, only
stones throw from the well: Within the
same enclosure is the Friends little half
acre. and IN this lie the ashes of Mr.. Whit
tiers dear ones-Uncle Moses Aunt Mercy,
his father and mother, sisters Mary and
Lizzie and brother Franklin--and at the
westerly end of the row there is just room
for one more mound TO be made and one
more plain little headstone to be set up.
But he who is to sleep there will live IN
the hearts Of a grateful people long after
that mound has sunk away and that SIM
pie little headstone has crumbled back
to dust. WILLIS B. HAWKINS.

Buck SHOALS, n. c., August 22-[Specisl
Correspondence. Quite a number of
people have written me recently regarding
a green goods episode which was made
public in July by st. Louis paper, and
which involved the name of Mr.. p. \.
Owenby, of this state. 1t seems that the
following announcement caught Mr..
Owenby's eye some time ago. It was
printed in well-known paper and evil
IDENTIFY in good faith. No paper could have
printed such an advertisement otherwise,
it seems to me:
C. G. MONEY-s1oo for $40, or $50 for IS. Pkgs.
in 800 and $50 lots Good agents wanted for
rare goods. Parties cents
Mr.. Owenby wrote for some Of the c. G.
money with pure heart, and hoping to
relieve the distress of some man who
needed $40 so badly that he was willing to
give 500 for it. Knowing how close
money matters are at times on Wall street
and what high rate of interest parties on
the stock exchange are willing to pay for
