A Fortunate Gpeenhorn.

"When | came to this country" said a
merchant recently, 81 was lad fresh
from old Ireland. My first home was
with friends in Cambridge. In one of
my walks, before | had been here q
week, came across a queer, old fash
ioned house that interested me immense
ly. l described it to my friends, and
learned that it was the home of the poet
Longfellow. That increased my inter-
est.
1.-The next day / went again to the
queer house and stood gawkily looking
at it and at an old gentleman sitting in
the yard. / stared so long that the old
gentleman noticed it, and coming to the
fence asked me what / was looking at.
/ told him that wanted to see the man
who lived there, because | had read his
works in the schools of Ireland.
"The old gentleman asked me what !
knew about Longfellow's writings, and
told him / knew enough about one
poem to repeat every word of it.
when he heard that he asked me to
come into the house and recite the poem
to him. | went in and repeated The Vii
lage Blacksmith without making mis-
take. That pleased my listener, and put
ting on his hat he asked me to walk with
him. He said that should have some
thing that many people had asked for
and tried in vain to get.
He stopped under big tree and said:
This is the tree under which that poem
you recited was written. The village
smithy was under this tree
/, "Then the aged poet marched up and
with his own hand broke off branch Of
that famous tree and gave it to me"

which are arranged into large conical stacks,
or, as is sometimes the case in Europe, are
closely packed in clay furnaces of suitable
shape. The stacks or piles are covered with
layer of earth and ignited above, and the
draft is regulated 80 as to sustain slow
combustion without flame. The tarry pro-
ducts, as they are formed, gradually descend
and collect in a cavity at the base of the pile.
The tar obta ned by slow combustion as de-
scribsd above, is largely employed in the
arts for various purposes, and when divided
into its constituent parts is in one form or
another daily prescribed by the best physi-
clans. 1t has long been known for its great
anti-septic and healing qualities, and for
external use has been prepared by Messrs.

delightful form, in their Dnsky Diamond
