GOV. GREENHALGE A POET.

He Gets the Place of Honor In the Poetry
 Corner of Teachers Annual.
 The present governor of Massachusetts is poet. He has long been known as a successful lawyer, an astute politician and fair congressman. That he had the literary bee ill his bonnet, however, nobody dreamed until he came out over his own signature few days ago and acknowledged the fact.
 His native city of Lowell is the cen ter of all association known as the Schoolteaehers' guild, and once a year the association lets loose q sheet cslled the Lowell Guild Courier The teachers have been in the habit of depositing stray verses in the poetry corner of this journal and covering them up with quo tations from Shakespeare, Longfellow, Holmes, Tennyson, Shelley and others too numerous to mention This year the same general rule prevailed, but the name of Frederic T. Greenhalge led all the rest. lie lays claim to the follow ing:
 IN A DIARY. As naiads bathing in crystal Till
 To the clear waters lend a clearer glory, So, love, this snowy page make whiter still With all sweetness of thy pure life's story. As rosebud June breathes fragrance through
 tho year.
 And cheers little grim December's gloom Thy life shines roselike in Times pathway
 drear
 And gladdens troubled hearts with it's soft
 bloom.
 From one sweet fault, dear girl thou art not
 free;
 Love for a sinner is that single taint. Tho precious love that cheers my life makes
 thee
 truer woman-and, so. less saint.
 Frederic T. Greenhalge
 At first the teachers were in the sev- enth heaven of delight. It was a great card for them to have the governor as a contributor, and it was not until some of the more critical began dissecting the poem that the little offering of the chief magistrate of the state seemed less than perfect. Some thought the minds of youth might be contaminated by the references to bathing naiads. Others thought the governor should have allow. ed the naiads more water than is usu- ally contained ill Till Another group of objectors took umbrage at the moral sentiment of the last stanza and dissent ed from the governor s argument that q truer woman is less a saint
 The Democrats are satisfied with the poem. They will use it in the next cam paign. New York Sun.

How Gen. Scott Punished Drunkenness
During Cholera Epidemic.
Gen. Scott was in command at Rocl
Island when the cholera broke Qua
there, and, after various injunctions in
his order as to sobriety and cleanliness,
he added this curious paragraph, which
was recently printed in the Magazine
OF American History: in addition to
the foregoing, the senior surgeon pres
ent recommends the use of flannel I'M
derclothing, and wooden stockings,
but the commanding general, who has
seen much of disease, knows that it is
intemperance which, in the present
state Of the atmosphere, generates and
spreads the calamity, and that whea
once spread, good and temperate men
are likely to take infection.
''He therefore peremptorily COM
mands that every soldier or ranger
who shall be found drunk or sensibly
intoxicated after the publication of this
order be compelled, as soon as his
strength will permit, to dig grave at
a suitable burying place, large enough
for his own reception, as such a grave
can not fail soon be wanted for the
drunken man himself or some drunken
companion. This order is given as well
to serve for the punishment of drunk
enness as to spare good and temperate
men the labor of digging graves for
their worthless companions.

USE OF TOBACCO.

During the year 1894 the people of
the United States spent for tobacco the
enormous sum of S535, 900, 900. If the
population is 10000, 900 then we spent
an average of nearly IS for each man,
woman and child in the nation. But
the women and children as rule do
rot use tobacco. Therefore this vast
sum is spent in one year for useless
and hurtful article by the men.
II the loss were simply one of dollars
and cents it would be severe enough,
but we all know that the use of to-
bacco is injurious to the physical man
and harmful to him intellectually.
Physicians tell us that tobacco is a
harmful drug and that its constant use
is injurious in many ways. While we
are not of those that place tobacco
alongside of liquor and insist that it is
as harmful, we do believe that the to-
bacco habit is not only filthy and ex-
pensive, but injurious to those who are
addicted to it's use. In many cases,
especially with boys and young men,
the tobacco habit leads to the use of
liquor. But for tobacco there are null
titudes who would never have acquired
an appetite for strong drink.
The fact that many who use tobacco
are total abstainers from liquor does
not affect ouf statement particle, for
though there are many tobacco users
who do not drink liquor, it is the ex-
ception to find drinlSer who does not

TRYING A HORSE.

He Proves His Worth.

ne fOses Ills
And now we will suppose that an
animal answering this description has
finally been selected, and certified by
the vet to be sound and of proper age
that is, not under five. There remains
for him and for paterfamilias only the
ordeal of the family. When the new
purchase-harnessed, we will assume,
to a two-seated wagons brought
around for the first drive, he is received
in gloomy silence, the young ladies be-
ing disguised with his color. They
expected a strawberry roam, or at least
a rich bay, whereas he is of shade
which they stigmatize at once as vel
low ocher" The eldest son, who bv
continually frequenting the nearest
livery stable has acquired some repu-
tation in the family as horseman,
would be glad to suggest curb, or
quarter-crack, or weakness in the off
knee; but being overawed by the supe-
rior authority of the vet, he contents
himself with a critical examination of
the animals eye, in which he processes
to discover spirit of devilish malignity
that bodies i'll for life and limb.
Cheered by this prophecy, the family
take their seats, paterfamilias firmly
grasping the reins and prepared for the
worst The first drive with new
horse is commonly one of silent and
resolute anticipation. That the animal
will behave well no one expects. The
only doubt is as to whether ne will
stand and kick, run away, or suddenly
develop some incurable disease; but as
mile after mile is slowly but steadily
reeled off without accident. the horse
exhibiting no special depravity and no
signs of lameness, the spirits of pater-
familias rise. He touches the new steed
with his whip, cuts out an express
wagon in grand style, and finally
brings up with flourish at the homo
curbstone.
Already the new horse has passed
from the awful region of the mysterious
to that of the homely and familiar, and
now presents himself to the imagina-
ton of his owners, not as an unknown
brute, but as faithful Dobbin, des-
tined, let MS hope, to long and useful

Not Made by Human Hands.

A drinking horn of marvellous work
manship is one of the relics kept in the
church at Oldenburg, Germany. 1t is
known throughout Europe as the
horn of Oldenburg," and has a most
wonderful history: According to the
story, the Great Ohio of Oldenburg was
out hunting, and becoming exhausted
from thirst and fatigue, sank apon the
earth with the exclamation: 20, God,
would | had cool drink" The sound
of his voice had scarcely died away
among the trees of the forest, when
suddenly beautiful maiden appeared
before him bearing richly carved
drinking horn, filed to overlooking
with cool, sparkling water Ohio was
more captivated with the beauty of the
horn than he was with that of his fair
benefactress, and without even staying
to say thanks" turned and ran at the
top of his speed, carrying the vessel
with him. To save himself from the
consequences of such peculiar theft,
Ohio bestowed the horn upon the
church, and to this day the story, rs
given above, is told by the guides who
display the relics to the gaze of curious
