POEM BY
DANIEL WEBSTER

From the Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Alexander NJ Morrison, OF BATH
more, sends. the Sun the following
poem by Daniel Webster, quoted by
Rev. b. NJ. Palmer, of the First Pres
bvterian Church, New Orleans, in
little volume entitled The Broken
Home; or Lessons in Sorrow. Inc
following lines says Dr. Palmer
(which may be found in the biography
of Mr. Webster, are not generally
known. Beneath the rugged verslh
cation turks a genuine pathos, showing
the great statesman not to have been
destitute of the sentiment which MARKS
the poet
My Son, thou vast my hearts delight,
Thy morn of life was gay ana
CHEEKY;
That morn has rushed to sudden night
Thy fathers house is sad and dreary.
i held thee on my knee, my Son,
And kissed thee laughing, kissed
thee weeping;
But. ah! thy little day is done,
Thou'rt with thy angel sister sleep
ing.
The staff on which my years should
lean
Is broken, ere those years come Ger
me;
NV funeral rites thou shouidst have
seen,
But thou art in the grave before me.
Thou rear'st to me no flial stone.
No parents grave with tears hc-
holdst;
Thou art my Ancestor, my Son,
And stand'st in Heavens account
the Oldest.
On earth my lot was soonest cast,
Thy generation after mine;
Thou hast thy predecessor past
Earlier Eternity is thine.
I should have set before thine eyes
The road to Heaven, and showed it
clear:
Rut thou untaught spring'st to the
skies,
| And 1eaV st my teaShSl iiAiSSA ti4S
here.
Sweet Seraph, would learn Of thee,
And hasten to partake thy bliss;
And. oh, to thy world welcome me,
AS first I welcomed thee to this.
Dear Angel, thou art safe in Heaven;
No prayers for thee need more ce
made;
Oh, let thy prayers for those be given given
Who oft have blessed thy infar
head.
My Father, I$beheId thee born,
And led thy lettering feet with care;

sentation, has on many occasions swung
the sentiment of the council from q
position Of oppositin to one Of ac-
quiescence.
James Reuben, grandfather Of Ste
phen, was one of the chiefs who well
coined the Lewis and Clark company
when it reached the Clearwater Of
the mouth Of the North Fork.
1t was said of the second James
Reuben that during the Nez Peroe wal
in 1877 he first joined Chief Joseph's
band of warriors and participated in
the first few battles and then, becom-
ing satisfied that the whites must win,
deserted Joseph, and, coming to mil
itary headquarters, assisted in organ
izing a band of scouts among the In
dams. which did splendid service dur
ing the rest of the campaign. The
younger James Reuben died just after
the allotment of reservation lands was
agreed to by the Indians, the agree
ment being reached largely through
his, influence. Since his death the
younger brother, Stephen, has occu-
pied very much the same position OF
prominence formerly held by the
brother. But while James was war
rior, whose oratory was rough though
forceful, Stephen has a polish OF ad-
dress that even in the Indian tongue
charms a white audience.

NEW YORK, July 5.--If 1t is true,
as alleged by sociologists. that race
suicide prevails to the greatest ex-
tent among families of great wealth,
there are exceptions which may go
to prove the rule. Probably the most
interesting exception is that Of
George J. Gould, one of the worlds
richest men, and his beautiful wife,
who are rearing six healthy. fine
looking children.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gould are training
their children under ideal rules, and.
while devoting most Of their time to
their beautiful home life, they MAIN
tain prominent positions in the social
whirl.
Mr.. Gould is at his desk in his
Broadway Offices as promptly as any
Of his clerks, ana among men of af-
fairs in this city he is known as the
Understanding millionaire in the
country.

LEWISTON, July 5.-Among the
more noted of the Nez Perez Indians
none have a greater following than
Stephen Reuben, one Of the subchiefs
of the tribe, and perhaps the sbest

past six or seven years his oratorical
gifts have been in almost constant
demand at gatherings of his own and
other tribes, and many of his word

contrasted with those when the alb
original was master of his own fate,
have been published by eastern news
papers and other periodicals. Reuben
is well equipped by education and wide
reading and is somewhat of student
of men, but has preferred to cling TO
the traditions of the great past of his
family.
He is still what is called blanket

summer months and joining in the more
solemn of the rites of his tribe, which
are classed as frivolous or barbarc
by the whites. He is prominent at
councils of the tribe. At these meet

some faction, and frequently it has
been noted that the adroitness of his
address, coupled with his apparent

When man FIRST sought this wondrous
spot
In search Of wealth in gold and
land,
He stood. methinks, with reverence
first,
And viewed the scene both wild and
grand.

Is but to view the wondrous growth
When man and nature SO conspire
To work and benefit them both.
And from the north, east, south and

To make grand homes for those brave
Who sally forth with might and

But, look; one day a demon came,
With eyes and tongue all red with
flame,
And leaped and sprang from door to
door,
A fiery monarch of the plain.
But in the wake of this dread fiend
Rose hearts more brave in will and
might
To battle forth till victory came
And build city of more height.

And should one seek for rest or sport,

And lakes and rills to sail and fish,
Or make a camp upon the beach.

The light that comes to show the way

And with pride our city points
To public schools, both high and

And buildings late-just up to date
Where Greek meets Greek and ideas
