I SHALL NOT PASS AGAIN THIS WAY.

The bread that bringeth strength want to

The water pure that bids the thirsty live.
I want to help the fain ing day by day.
I'm sure shall not pass again this way.
I want to give the oil of Joy for tears,
The faith to conquer crowding doubts and
fears.
Beauty for ashes may give always.
I'm sure I shall not pass again this way.
I want TO give good measure running DER,
And into angry hearts l want to pour
The answer soft that turneth wrath away.
I'm sure l shall not pass again this way.
I want to give to others hope and faith.
I want to do all that the Master saith.
want to live Alright from day to day.
I'm sure shall not pass again this way.

FURNISH NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS.
The Business Has Grown to Great Proper
tiOns In New York.

The Business Has Grown to Great Proper
tions In New York.
There is peculiar industry in Goth
am which has grown to astonishing pro-
portions. This is the business of furnish
ing newspaper clippings to individuals,
firms and corporations. There are half
dozen of these concerns in New York,
which supply customers not only in the
United States, but in all parts of the
world One of these newspaper clipping
bureaus received an order from the Ha-
waiian government to send President
Dole all the notices, editorials, cartoons
and other published matter regarding
Hawaii, it's government and it's affairs.
Every prominent author, actor, poll
tician and professional man is now
subscriber to one or more of the clip
ping bureaus, and busy man finds the
system very convenient, for he is ena-
bled, as it were, to read his newspapers
by proxy.
The manager Of a New York clipping
bureau i'll speaking Of the peculiarities
of his business said yesterday: "Many
of our customers are folks with fads
and hobbies. A man sent us an order
recently for all items about two headed
calves, three legged chickens and other
monstrosities. A leading politician Or
dered 100 Memorial day addresses, from
which he could compile Fourth of Ju-
ly Grafton which he had engaged to de-
liver. Society bellies are beginning to
make scrapbooks of their newspaper
notices, and the custom will doubtless
become a regular social fad in time
The wives of public men are among the
best patrons of the clipping bureaus
About the strangest order we have is
that of dealer in tombstones and mon
uments. He takes all the death notices. 1"

WHITTIER'S FIRST POETRY.
One BOyish Poem Gained Him William
Lloyd GarrisOn's Friendship.

AAAOyU friendship.
After he had made the acquaintance
of Burns poems, Whittier began to
scribble rhymes of his own on his slate
at school and in the evening about the
family hearth. One of his boyish STAN
zas fingered in the memory of an elder
sister
And must always swing the fail
And help to fill the milking pailp
wish to go away to school.
do not wish to be fool
With practice he began to be holder,
and he wrote copies of verses on every
day events, and also little ballads. One
of these, written when he was II, his
eldest sister liked so we'll that she sent
it to the weekly paper of Newburyport,
The Free Press, then recently started by
William Lloyd Garrison. She did this
without telling her brother, and no one
was more surprised than he when he
opened the paper and found his own
verses in "The Poets Corner" He was
aiding his father to mend stone wall
by the roadside as the postman passed
on horseback and tossed the paper to
the young man. "His heart stood still
moment when he saw his own verses"
says biographer "Such delight as his
comes only once in the lifetime of any
aspirant to literary fame. His father at
last called to him to put up the paper
and keep at work. -
The editor of The Free Press was only
three years older than the poet, although
far more mature. He did more for the
young man than merely print these boy
ish verses, for he went to Whittier's
father and urged the need Of giving the
youth little better education. To do
this was not possible then, but two
years later, when Whittier was 10, an
academy started at Haverhill, and here
he attended, even writing few stanzas
to be sung at the opening exercises. He
studied at Haverhill for two terms, and
by making slippers, by keeping books
and by teaching school he earned the
little money needed to pay his way At
Haverhill he was able to read the works
of many authors hitherto unknown to
him, and he also wrote for the local pa
pers much prose and verse.-Professor
Brander Matthews in St. Nicholas.

A WAR STORY.

"Ben Butler and I met in the rOtunda
of the capitol" remarked Mr.. Sayers,
chairman of the appropriations com
mittee of the last house, to Star writer
one day, "the last time I saw him. II
was not long before the old generals
death, and the occasion, if remember
correctly, was some appearance he haC
to make before the supreme court in the
case of the Chicago anarchists AS
shook the old mans hand my memory

name was the one liked the least and
Buffers hands the last ones into which
cared to fall
II was rather young, a mere boy, in
Texas when the war broke like storm.
Naturally, with my geography, [ went
with the Confederacy. I was in the ar
tillery. One day we captured a battery
of three brass guns. It was given to me
to command, and the dayI got that bat
terry was the proudest day in my life.
Then as I look back it still seems to me
that those six brass field guns were the
most beautiful things that I ever saw.
"Of course I was full of ardor. I
burned to do something with my bat
terry. Such was my anxiety to get into
trouble with those guns that I dragged
a couple over to the Mississippi-we
were in Louisiana at the time-and
pulled on a fight with stray gunboat
belonging to the Yankees which found
prowling around. We had a sharp, spit
fire time of it for few moments, when
lucky shot from one Of my guns tore a
hole in her in such fashion that it let
the river in, and she filled and sank.
was excessively proud of the achieve
ment
"Butler had New Orleans at the time,
and, among other things, was running
the papers, Later I read an account of
my brush with the gunboat in one of
Buffers journals. It could not be called
an unbiased statement. It reviled me as
a most abandoned and bloodthirsty char
acter and declared that even after the
gunboat surrendered l kept ON pouring
shot into her as if my one purpose in
life was wholesale murder Of course
this was not so. Iwouldn t have fired or
anybody after he had hauled his flag
down, and besides that I didn t have the
ammunition to waste.
'After I rejoined the rest of my bat
terry following the exploit of the gun
boat hunted trouble with the Yankees
more zealously than ever. One day
was fully gratified. We were still in
Louisiana. The sun came up one morn
ing and found some 1000 of us facing
a largely superior force Of Yankees. We
couldn It have crawled out of a fight even
were we so disposed, but no one suggest
ed any retreat. The fact was we felt
quite cocky and were full of belief
that we could whip the invaders. The
fight began, and l soon had my heart S

the Yankees, 1 and my battery. I had
succeeded in attracting the attention and
getting hearing, as it were, from three
Yankee batteries all at once They were
a reasonably brisk outfit, and it didn I
take them a minute to get my range.
Then it began to rain sorrow and hail
despair for my battery.
