Auto4rmph Ffen<iA.

The author of "Cbats With Oelebri- ties" Mir. Guild, says of the demand upon Longfellow for his autograph:
 remember one very pleasant party at the poets dinner table, at which MT. Monh, Professor E. N. Horsford and myself were present, when MT. Long fellow related 8 number of amusing anecdotes respecting applications that were made to him for autographs He was very kind to autograph seekers and used to keep in little box upon his writing table a number of slips upon which were written, Yours very truly, Henry ". Longfellow. One of these would be sent to tbe applicant by a member of his family to whom he passed over their requests,
 But the autograph seekers were not always satisfied with a mere signature, and he often sent a verse from one of his poems signed with his name. The most remarkable request, however, came from a lady in Boston, who, the poet said, sent him by express 6 package of 150 blank visiting cards, with a letter requesting that he would iDscribe his name on each of them the next day, as she was to have a grand reception at which a number of literary people would be present, and she wished to present each one of her guests with the poets autograph.
 This was too much for even Longfel- low's good nature and would seem to be hardly credible had not heard it from the poets own lips

 My favortte boarders in the oak were the gray squirrels The boys knew their hole from the woodpeckers' at a glance. for 1t wes in the living trunk of the tree, and the red brown margin always showed where their powerful teeth had been cutting away the bark that threat ened to grow in and close them up. l have oftened wondered how the wood peckers knew that 1t would imprison them. and tbat they must put up with the dead limb.
 AS for the grays they were not afeaid to live in the heart of the oak, and what stores of nuts, harvested in tho hickoriee on the hill. they did manage to ''tote' up there There must have been peck at least wbon ruthlessIy chopped into the hollow with 0 sbarp batchet and captured fine brood of young ones that were soon tanned into graceful and sf- fectionate pets.

 When my squirrels went harvesting. one of them first held bis head in the mouth of the hole for half a minute to see if the coast was clear. Presently out he whisked and stopped again to make sure. while his mate followed. Then Mir. Squirrel gave a rnspiDg. long drawn bark of defiance, which must have filled his lady's beart with admiration for his boldDess and with apprehension lest some unwary creature should come within reach of her lopd's anger.
