WHITTIER TO A TORRENT.
Lines He Wrote In the Album of .
Young Woman Who Teased Him,

hOun8 woman Who leased Him.
When Whittier was 30 years old, some
what trained in newspaper work by editing
the Haverhil. Mass. Gazette. he was
elected secretary OF the American Anti
Slavery Society, relates the New York Sun
The next year he removed to Philadelphia
where he edited the Pennsylvania Freeman
during the years 1888. While living in a
boarding house in Philadelphia a young
woman fellow boarder was a great torment
TO him. because he was possessed OF an ex-
ceedingly shy and sensitive temperament
When she went away Whittier complied
with the request to write in her album A
friend OF the woman who owned the album
has Transcribed the lines from memory:
Thou art going hence. God bIesss thee,
Thou art going hence farewell.
May the devil ne'er distress thee
May the wide world Use thee we'll
Thou art going hence forever.
AND thou sheddest not tear.
It's well, for tears shall never
Lament thy leaving here
Yet some will not forget thee.

Ana some Will cen regret thee
Who do not weep to part
They will miss thy merry laughter.

And the Jokes which followed after
Thy visiting abroad.

In my future goings on
And the pious shun and fear -hee

Thy years be not a few
And at thy final exit.

The Tired Preacher.
Fom the Homiletic Review


Physioligists have been investigating
the nature of the poison which is engen
dered BY fatigue If the blood of a ia
tigued animal be injected into another an
imal that is fresh and unfatigued all the
phenomena of fatigue will be produced.
The poison which is produced by fatigue
is of the same nature as that into which
the Indians used to dip there arrows, and
most deadly poison it is found to be.
"In case it is created more rapidly than
can be carried off by the blood, the organ
ism suffers seriously.
A preacher should make it rule never
to work at his sermons when he is tired.
Tired composition is sure to tell injuriously
on the sermon as delivered, and tired
preaching makes tired hearing. The biog
rapher of Dean Stanley says that one main
source of the freshness which pervaded
his sermons was the economy Of his
strength. He had most clearly recognized
the extent and limitations Of his powers.
1t is too often forgotten that sermon has
physical as well as an intellectual and
spiritual basis.

Why He Was Awake.

One of the best of the Scotch stories
Mr. John johnson tells is that of a certain
sermon in Scotch church, at which nearly
the whole congregation went to sleep.
"The minister pounded on the pulpit, =
says Mr.. johnson, ''and cried them shame
to be all asleep when he was preaching the
word of God, and then he looked up in the
gallery and saw there an idiot boy who at
tended divine service regularly He
CHANGED to be wide awake, and the minis
ter pointed to him in admiration.
"See there, he shouted. 'even Jamie,
the idiot, is awake and drinking in the
word p
Yes shouted back Jamie then, but
if hadn't been an idiot L d a bin asleep
too?"
