Ee Haxazded Life and Popularity in the
 Cause ot Abolition.
 Before he was thirty he had made up his mind that it was his duty to do what he could for the relief of the unfortun- ate negroes who were held in bondage in the south. In 1888 he wrote pam phlet called Justice and Expediency," in which he considered the whole ques- tion of slavery. and declared that 1t should cease forever. Three years later, writes Prof. Brander Matthews in St. Nicholas, he became secretary of the Anti-Slavery society. In 1888 he went to Philadelphia to edit the Penn sylvania Freeman; and so boldly did he advocate the right of the negro to own himself that the printing office was sacked by & mob and burned. Then, as more than once afterward for the same cause, Whittier was in danger of his life.
 Whittier showed physical courage in facing the rufians who wished to pre- vent free speech; but he had revealed the higher moral courage in casting his lot with the little band Of abolitionists. Up to this time he had looked forward to holding public office, as well he might, when many another journalist was stepping from the newspaper desk nto public life. When he became one of the small band who denounced slavery, he gave up all chance of office. He also had literary ambition, but so strong was the power of the slave owners then, and SO intolerent were they, that most editors and publishers were sorely intimidated, and declined to print not only any attack on slavery, but even the other writings of an au- thor who was known as an abolitionist. Thus Whittier, in identifying himself with the anti-sla7ery movement, thought that he was giving up his lit- erary future also. He made his deci- sion promptly, and he never regretted it. Indeed, in later life he said to 8 boy of fifteen to whom he was giving counsel: My lad, if thou wouldst win success, join yourself to some unpopu- lar but noble cause"

Just Gone.

To most German visitors to Rome Goethe is a sort of diety, and after his death every trace of his stay there, however unimportant, was unearthed and visited as if it had been 9 sacred shrine. One of these shrines is a humble inn, where the great poet used to take a glass of wine in the evening: Mr. Rudolf Lehman relates that an enthusiastic young Teuton, engaged in this pilgrimage, asked the waiter in his broken Italian whether this was really the spot that Goethe used to visit "Goti, Goti. no 10 conosco, Inever heard of him, said the waiter. Then, seeing suddenly that he was disappointing 8 customer. he added; "Oh yes, of course, Goti-he has just this moment gone

A Molasses Pavement.

Perhaps the oldest pavement ever laid is one just completed at Chino, Cal. It is made mostly Of molaSses, and if it proves all of the success claimed for it it may point way for the sugar planters of the south to prohtably dis pose of millions of gallons Of useless molasses which they are said to have on hand. The head chemist of sugar factory at Chino, Mr. 2. Turke, was led to make certain experiments, of which the new sidewalk, a thousand feet long, from the factory to Main street, is the result. The molasses used is 8 refuse product, hitherto believed to be of no value. It is simply mixed with a certain kind of sand to about the con- sistency of asphalt and laid like an asphalt pavement. The composition dries quickly and becomes quite hard. and remains so. The peculiar point of it is that the sun only makes it drier and harder, instead of softeHing it, as might be expected. A block of the composition two feet long. foot wide and one inch thick was submitted to severe tests and stood them well. Laid with an inch or so Of it's edges-only resting on supports, it withstood re- peated blows of 6 machine hammer without showing any effects of crack ing or bending.

THE VANDERBILT DOMAIN.

The splendid country house which
Mr.. G. w. Vanderbilt has been builing
near Asheville, n. c., is now nearing
completion and he expects, so it is said,
to spend next Christmas in it. This
will probably be the finest country
place in America. The cost of the
building alone is reported to be some
thing like six million dollars. tits sur
rounded by domain of nearly fifty
square miles of land, which Mr.. Van
derbilt has purchased, and large por-
ton of which is in forest. A magnili-
cent park has been made. When a
person has more millions than he
knows what to do with more delight
full way of spending them than Mr.
Vanderbilt has found could scarcely be
devised. Experiments in agriculture
and forestry will probably be made,
and if the birds and game are protected,
as they probably will he, they will
rapidly increase and multiply and be a
source of pleasure to the owner. In
the United States there is but little
taste for country life among the rich.
Nearly all the improvements and
the handsome buildings are in the
cities and towns, and in most of the
States of the union the fine country
seats which are so beautiful and at
tractive in European countries are en-
tirely absent. The delights of English
country life, the healthy outdoor occu-
patious and amusements are among the
favorite themes of the Epglish novel
lists. Perhaps, as Mr.. Vanderbilt has
set the fashion, others may follow and
some of the cheap waste lands may be
made beautiful and the country en-
bellished by fine residences.
