self wrote the poetry so literally
sprinkled up and down the columns
which told who amongst them had
gone the way of all good Quakers
Very few among Philadelphians, more
particularly if they be elderly and OF
the female sex, have not been observed
to pick up Mr.. Childs' newspaper with
the remark: II like to look over the
deaths"
But there was another remarkable
fact about the poetry for which Mr..
| Childs daily became responsible. The
country at large was not acquainted
with it. Ask anyone in Missouri, for
Instance, if he ever heard of Mr. Childs
in connection with obituary poetry,
and the answer will be Eyes, But
ask that person if he has ever read any
of the productions, and the reply will
be in the negative.
The present attempt, therefore, to
set forth the manner in which this
obituary versification sees the light,
the whole exemplified by Mr.. Childs'
own poetry clipped from the columns
Of the Public Ledger, is believed to
possess all the novelty which attends
IN incursion into virgin territory.
Picking up an old copy of the Public
Ledger and spreading it before the eye
in object lesson fashion, it becomes
evident how appropriate thing it was
in Mr.. Childs to keep the record of the
dead on his editorial page. The next
thing that becomes evident is the large
number of Philadelphians who go to
Heaven. For the Public Ledger
printed from three and half to five
columns, set in solid agate, of deaths
daily. Mr. Childs certainly had
wealth of material. The introduction
to it was in the shape of the word
deaths" in sober black type, above
which was an inch or so of reversed
brass rule-presumably as a token Of
mourning. Then comes the poetry,
sprinkled as aforesaid.
The following claims attention from
the frequency with which it appeared:
Affections sore long time she bore
Physicians we're in vain,
Till God at last did hear her moan,
And eaSed h9r OF her pain.
Gone, but not forgotten.
If there be a favorite among these
children of fancy, it was this poem
about Affections sore. But another IA
vorite runs:
We had lovely mother once,
She was our JOY and pride.
We loved her, ah. perhaps too well,
For soon she slept and died.

Philadelphian, rich or poor, high or

will be that he was philanthropsst

country came to associate this gentle

of mortuary nature as with the per-

service the other day carried away
with me the remembrance of q few
dainty ones. A small braided black
crown was touched here and there
with jet head. It was bordered with
roll of darkest green miroir velvet
At the front stood bright butterfly
made of pale green quills, edged with
feather trimming in the dark green.
The butterfly sprang from tiny bed
of violets.
A violet crown OF velvet was bor-
dered with black, had loops Of violet
velvet in front and a fan-shaped jet or
nament rising therefrom; had also
some pretty jet bespangled quills.
A hat, circular black velvet crown,
crumpled into deep flutes, was
caught in the center with q round or
namenta of pearl. The curve that fell
just over the face was caught up and
a chou OF bright pink velvet placed
there, that had black aigrettes and Q

it, to subdue the brightness of the
pink-or to enhance it, wasn't sure

Another black one was most airy

formed the crown, and little puffs OF
jetted gauze stood out around it. AT
the four sides of the crown large,
broad rings of steel were placed,
through which were drawn loose puff
ings of the gauze. Above the front
ring steel butterfly spread its wings.

himself, general supervision. As
a consequence, Mr. Childs had more
leisure for versification. The philan-
thropist's daily walk down Chestnut
street. which continues to be the prin-
cipal thoroughfare of that poetic center
had become one of the institutions of
Philadelphia, and was regarded there
pretty much as the rising of the sun is

phians noticed that the bundles which
Mr.. Childs carried so conspicuously
under his arm had developed into mar
row affairs, done up III light manila

1t was stated that those bundles were
