WHIPPED 4 PRINCE.


How Ros9 ssTom". Benton Fell Foul Of En9.
jandss Futare King.
Tom Benton occupied for many years
lin fact, until his death-a responsible
position in the household Of Queen Vic
toria. Benton, who was of humble birth,
was but lad at BRIGHTON when his par-
ents died within Sw months of each
other. It was shortly after these events
when the queens attention, was called
to the young boy under rather peculiar
circumstances.
One day. while Benton was gathering
shells on the beach at Brighton 10 mako
pincushions, which he sold to the sum-
mer visitors, a young boy, nicely dress
ed and about his own age, appeared
upon the scene and scattered, with a
vigorous kick, the accumulated shells.
Benton gathered up his treasures, and
placing them again in pile warned the
intruder that if he repeated the trick he
would give him . ''good licking"
The kick was repeated with even more
vigor than before, and the shells were
sent flying in every direction. True to
his word, the poor boy" soundly
thrashed the stranger. It was O close
contest Mt first, rs The lads were quite
evenly matched, but the more fully de-
veloped strength Of Benteo finally
brought him OF victorious.
Just al the melee was over gentle
man and lady approached, and the for
mer said: "You did quite right, young
man. We have seen the whole transac-
tion. This boy is our SON, but he was
the aggressor and received the thrashing
he we'll merited." A number Of Ques-
tions were asked the lad as to himself
and his family. The replies told the
boys life, how the death Of his parents
had brought poverty to himself and his
brothers and sisters.
"This is the queen" said, the gentle
man, who was none other than Prince
Albert, land the young man to- whom
you administered such a merited whip
ping is tae Prince of Wales. - Turning
to the prince, he continued: "You must
send his young man to school and pay
for his tuition or of your own poclzet
money That canEot add to your punish
ment, but can benefit this poor lad with
whom you picked such an uncalled for
quarrel"
Thus it was that Tom Benton met the
queen OF England. He was sent to q
school about midway between Portland
and Dover. After completing his studies
there he was taken into her majesty's
service and remained there his entire
life. Between Benton and the Prince Of
Wales there was strong bond of friend
ship, such as could exist between true
manly men.-New York Herald.

LoNoFeLLow's FIRST POETRY.
Qo Wa More Than Thirty When His 1ixsl
Volume was Published,

0s Was Moro Than Thirty When His Tsrso
Volume Was PublisheA.
Toward the end OF 1886 he took up
bis abode in Cambridge, where he was
to reside for the rest of his life-for 46
years. He was made to feel at home in
the society of the scholars who cluster.
ed about Harvard, then almost the sole
center Of culture in the country. His
work for the college was not so exact
Ing that he had not timeA3r literature.
The impulse to write poetry returned.
yet the next book ho published was the
prose Hyperion, which appeared in
1889, and which, though it has little
plot or action, may be called romance.
The youthful and poetic hero q passion

less, reflection of Longfellow himself.
A few months later in the same year
he published his first volume of poetry
Voices Of the Night which he

most Of them written while he was at
Bowdoin. Some of these boyish verses
show the influence of Bryant. and 9th.
c-s reveal to us that the young poet had
not yet looked at life for himself, but
still saw it through the stained glass
windows Of European tradition. The
came volume contained also some more
recent poems-'The Beleaguered City"
and 1.-THE Reaper and the Flowers" and
the psalm of Life perhaps the first
# his poems to win swift and abiding
popularity. These lyrics testified that
I.ongfellow was beginning to have q
style Of his own. As Hawthorne wrote
to him, Nothing equal to them was
ever written in this world-this west

requires His ballads have more of the
old time magic, more Of the early sim.
plicity. than those of any other modern
English author. OF its kind there is
nothing better in the language than
''The Skeleton In Armor,'' with its
splendid lyric swing, and 1.-THE Village

merry Above tho City.
One Of the queerest places in New
York can be found in what looks, from
the street, to be funny little gable
rooted house perched jauntily ON one
corner Of the roof Of the Windermere,
ON Fifty seventh street. It is conserva-
tory and observatory in one, miniature
roof garden, the den Of an attic philos-
opher, Henry s. Goodale, whose some
what celebrated daughters, Elaine aud
Dora, evidently got from him their
poetic strain.
The attic is reached by steep nau-
teal flight Of steps leading up through
small square hatchway straight into .
wonderful greenery Of bloom, snug
gerry Of comfort, likewise a hennery,
consisting Of one fine brown Leghoxn
fowl and single fluffy, yellow chick,
and q dovecot, where there are softly
whirring wings. It is charming bit of
Arcadia, high above the ceaseless roar
and heartbeat Of q great city, which
under its potent spell seems unreal and
evanescent, like the undulating, elliptic
al rings Of smoke that float past the
''attic" windows. The attic is all win
dows. except ths floor, root and the sim
pie matched board dado. The little room
is symphony i.green the floor is car
peted with dull green denim the gabled
root is covered with burlaps Of the same
hue; q green wicker couch is cushioned
In green yachting eloth; broad green

carelessly strewn cushions, though ok
varying designs and materials, are of
the same general hue; and green figured

hang ready to exclude the whole outside

But st is the window gardens that
give the greatest charm to the place.
Long, deep boxes of country earth and

clumps of spicy pinks, old fashioned
rose bushes and honcysuckle vines,
clambering over wire network trellises,
which metaphorically kill two birds
with one stone by literally preserving
the birds-that is, the hen and her
chick-from disaster and upholding tho
lacy green drapery Of the vines.

DEAR OLD LADY.

She Was Going to ''Alberts" and RessAed
There Safely.
An old woman wearing q pair Of gold
eyeglasses was o passenger on one of the
trains from Buffalo to New York. She
had come through from the west, and
the nervous way in which she gathered
her bundles around her and the number
Of questions she asked all showed; that
she was not accustomed to travelling.
When the trainboy came through with
his assortment Of books, she confided ia
him the facts that she was going to,New
York to see her son and that she had
not seen him for over q year. She grew
talkative and said:
my son Albert's great preacher.
He is . Methodist, and I am q Metho-
dist. I taught him when he was little
bit Of a boy what was right and what
was wrong. He hasn't been back to see
me for over year. I live way out in
Missouri, and he couldn't get away this
year, but he wanted to see me, and he
sent for me to come on. He breaches in
q big church there, and he has got 2fine
family growing up
So she prattled on. The trainboF liz
tened to her attentively and succeeded
i'm selling her copy Of 'The Quick or
the Dead?" so]emnly assuring her that
it was Methodist religious book. When
he left her, she began to read it, calmly
at first, then nervously, until she'grew
tired. Then she began to nod, and final
ly the book slipped to the floor. The
gray hair reposed Oh the cushion of the
palace car seat, and its owner dozed
peacefully.
The conductor came through to col
lect tickets, and seeing the peaceful
sleep Of his passenger was loath to wake
hen. Finally he leaned over and, shook
