The POitOu Jack.

From the day he is born to the day Of
his death no brush or comb is ever al
lowed to be used on him, and as, from
the unnatural condition in which he is
kept, he is prevented in great measure
from shedding his coat the functions Of
the skin become suspended, and the ami
NAL gradually assumes year after year
an accumulation of coats, all matted
together with stable filth, till at length
they almost trail on the ground. When
he has assumed this extraordinary and
bearlike appearance, he is pointed to
with no little pride by his owner and is
termed bourailloux, or sometimes guen-
illoux. Such is ignorance and prejudice.

SUMMER SONG.

Sing me a song Of the summer time.
Of the fire in the sorrel and ruby clover,
Where the garrulous bobolinks Tilt and chime.
Over and over.
Sing me a song of the strawberry bent,
Of the black cap hiding the heap of stones,
Of the millxweed drOwsy with sultry scent
Where the bee drones
Sing song of the spring head still,
OF the dewy fern in the solitude,
Of the hermit thrush and the whippoorwil
Haunting the wood.
Sing me song of the cleaning scythe,
OF the scented hay in the buried vain,
Of the mowers whistling bright and blithe
In the sunny rain.
Sing me a song of the ounce and the gage,
Of the apricot by the orchard wall,
Where bends my love Armitage,
Gathering the fruit of the windfall.
Sing me a song of the rustling, slow
Sway of the wheat as the winds Groom,
Of the golden disk and the dreaming glow
OF the harvest moon.
Duncan Campbell Scott in Scribner's.

THEY DEVELOPED YOUNG.
Two Famous Poets, Oliver Wendell Holmes
and William Cullen Bryant.

Two Famous Poets. Oliver Wendell Holmes
and William Cullen Bryant.
Oliver Wendell Holmes received the
degree of doctor of medicine in 1886,
being then 81 years old, and in that
year he also published his first volume
of poems. Nothing of DR.. Holmes has
been more popular than ''The Last
Leaf" contained in this early collec-
ton, and none has more richly deserved
to please by its rhythmic beauty and by
it's exquisite blending of hu-nor and
pathos SO sympathetically intertwined
that we feel the lonely sadness of the
old man even while we are smiling at
the quuintness SO feelingly portrayed.
DR.. Holmes was like Bryant, who
composed 'Thanatopsis" and the
"Lines to a Waterfowl" long before he
was 20, in shat he early attained full
development as a poet. Although each
of them wrote many verses in later life,
nothing of theirs excelled these poems
of their youth. In their maturity they
did not lose power, but neither did they
deepen nor broaden, and "Thanatopsis"
on the one side and "The Last Leaf on
the other are as strong and characteris-
tic as anything either poet was ever to
write throughout long life. What Bry-
ant was, what Holmes was, in this, his
first volume Of poems, each was to the
end Of his career.
To neither of them was literature a
livelihood. Bryant was first lawyer
and then journalist. Holmes was
first practicing physician and then
teacher of medicine. He won three
prizes for dissertations upon medical
themes, and these essays were published
together in 1888. In 1889 he was ap-
pointed professor of anatomy and phys
iology at Dartmouth, and the next year
he married Miss Amelia Lee jackson.
Shortly afterward he resigned the posi-
ton at Dartmouth and resumed practice
in Boston. He worked hard in his pro-
fession and contributed freely to it's lit
erature and in 1847 he went back to
Harvard, having been appointed pro-
fessor of anatomy and physiology, a
position which he was to hold with
great distinction for 35 years.-St.
Nicholas.
