0oLUMslA'S EMBLEM.
Blazon Columbla's emblem,

6Iazon ColumDla's emblem,
The bounteous, golden corni
Cons ago, OF the great SUMS glow
And the Joy Of the earth, twas born.
From Superior's shore to Chill,
From the ocean OF dawn to the west
With Its banners OF green and tasseled sheen,
1t sprang at the suns behest;
And by dew and shower, from its natal hour,
With honey and wine twas fed
Till the gods were faln to share with men
The perfect feast outspread.
For the rarest boon to the land they loved
Was the corn SO rich and fair.
Nor star nor breeze DER the farthest seas
Could find its like elsewhere.
In their hottest temples the Incas
Offered the heaven-sent maize
Grains wrought OF gold, in o silver fold,
For the suns enraptured gaze;
And Its harvest came to the wandering tribes
AS the gods own gift and seal;
And MonteZumas festal bread
Was made of its sacred meal
Narrow their cherished fields; but ours
Are broad as the continents breast.
And. lavish as leaves and flowers, the sheaves
Bring plenty and Joy and rest
For they strew the plains and crowd the wain
When the reapers meet at morn,
Till blithe cheers ring and west winds sing
A song for the garnered corn
The rose may bloom for England,
The lily for France unfold:
Ireland may honor the shamrock,
Scotland her thistle bold;
But the shield OF the great republic,
The glory Of the west,
Shall bear a stalk Of the tasseled corn,
OF all our wealth the best
The arbutus and the goldenrod
The heart OF the north may cheer,
And the mountain laurel for Maryland
Its royal clusters rear;
And Jasmine and magnolia
The crest OF the south adorn;
But the wide republics emblem
Is the bounteous, golden corn!

BANKS FOR STAMPS.
To Be Introduced Into tho Boston Public
Schools Very Shortly.

To Be Introduced Into tho Boston Public
Schools Very Shortly.
It is proposed to introduce ''stamp
savings banks in the Boston public
schools. From various offices colored
stamps of six denominations and stamp
cards will be obtained. To each per-
son wishing to become depositor the,
local treasurer gives him a stamp card
and sells him as many stamps as he has
money for. These stamps must be
pasted on the card. The card, when
full, will probably contain about five
dollars.
As soon as the child has stamps for
that sum the money is taken and de-
posted for him in some savings bank
that he may designate. The five dol
lars once deposited he begins again,
and the small sum grows to larger
one under his hands. If he wishes to
withdraw he presents his card and
draws all that is on it. Then if he has
more money than he cares to use he
calls for another card and redeposits
the balance.
By this method oil bookkeeping is
avoided, the child always knows just
how much he has, and the local treas
urer can tell in the same manner. If
the child loses the card, however. he
loses his money, or, rather, all tina. he
carried on that card

An Elusive minister VINO Did Not Know
Lucy Larcom.
Some years ago when gentleman
called upon Whittier on one of his
birthday anniversaries at Oak Knoll,
Danvers, the poet told an interesting
incident connected with Miss Lucy
Larcom.
She had been calling on him that
forenoon and while she was there q
very ELUSIVE minister, a stranger to
Whittier. called to pay his respects to
him. He recited quite dramatically Sc
lections from Whittier's writings and
finally said:
"But l think the most beautiful
thing you have ever written was Han
nah Binding Shoes !" and then pro-
ceeded to speak of it as one of the finest
poems in the language.
Eyes" said Whittier, II think myself
it is a beautiful thing. l always adj
mired it,"
Thus encouraged the minister recited
several stanzas of the poem in a very
dramatic manner. AS he concluded,
Whittier, motioning to Miss Larcom,
said: 'Allow me to introduce you to
the author of that poem"
II think" said Whittier, as he told
the story afterward, with quiet laugh,
II never saw man who SO much de-
sired to sink through the floor as did
that minister. boston Herald.
