A New Whittier Poem.


In 1888, according to the recently pub
lished "reminiscences of Mrs. Priscilla
Webster Page, of Washington. D. c., she
was attending the Cony female academy
at Augusta, Me. In that year there
came to Augusta for a summer a Mrs.
Nulcina, who established herself at the
academy boarding house as teacher Of
music. She possessed an autograph album
which was somewhat of a curiosity in its
way.
Among it's contents was a poem written,
as she said, by very prosy, awkward
young man, who boarded in the same
house with her and at whom she was is
the habit of poking fun rather mercilessly.
The evening before leaving her Boston
boarding house she gave him her album,
requesting slip from his pen, upon which
he wrote the following lines, which, it is
believed, have never been published:
Thou are going hence-God bless thee!
Thou art going hence-farewell;
May the devil ne'er distress thee,
May the wide world use thee we'll
Thou are going hence forever,
And thou sheddest not a tear;
',ris we'll, for tears shall never
Lament thy leaving here.
Yet some will not forget thee
A torment as thou art:
And some will e'en regret thee
Who do not weep to part.
They will miss thy merry laughter,
AS the schoolboy does his rod.
And the jokes which follow after
Thy vstings abroad.
Farewell, the Lord be near thee
In thy future goings on,
And the pious shun and fear thee.
AS thy quaker friend has done.
Thy lfe-rnay nothing vex it
Thy years be not few,
And at thy final exit
May the devil miss his due.
John G. Whittier.

Willing to Swap Records

A man with a wild look of hope in
his eye entered a West Baltimore
street monograph establishment, says
the Baltimore American.
Stepping up to salesman, he said:
1--WE got one I'll trade to anybody on
sight or unseen. So trot out any of
'em and I'll swap mighty quick and
glad of the chance"
"One what?" asked the mystified
salesman.
The visitor put his hand to his ear
and looked puzzled, proving that his
hearing was slightly defective. Being
not quite sure that the salesman had
spoken, the visitor went on:
yep, mine isn't very good one,
III admit. but it might suit some man
with tougher conscience than mine.
Some fellow who has longer life
ahead of him in which to live it down
might get along very we'll with mine,

LAUGH TURNED ON SURGEON.
His Effort to Impress Students Was a
Distinct Failure.

A famous German surgeon, a POM
pous man, who loved to impress his
patients and students with his impor-
lance, was lecturing to his students
one day when workingman entered
the room. The surgeon stopped him
by gesture and ordered his class
to look at him. Now, Mr.. X" he said
to one of the students, what is the
matter with this man? From here
you should be able to make a correct
diagnosis simply by looking at the
mans face, his bearing and the con-
tour of his head" Mr.. X, Mr.. and
Mr.. having failed to make any di-
agnosis whatsoever. the professor tri-
umphantly declared: "You ought to
see at the first glance that the man
is deaf and dumb" He forgot to men
ton that he himself had frequently
seen the patient. Then the patient
spoke up: mo, your excellency. it
is my brother who is deaf and dumb
But he looks very much like me"

Booth Had Narrow ESCAPE

1t concerns an accident that came
near resulting in the serious injury
of Mr.. Booth, and Mr.. Skinner de-
clares it to be the most dramatic
moment in all his footlight career.
1T was in the fall of 1889, and

Booth and Nine. Helena Modieska,"
relates the actor. I'VE were playing

Miss Hate MU0nod

More than likely you speak the same
words Yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, fatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness. leucorrhna.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
demonstrating remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Wood bridge,
N j., writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:
81 think that a woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public, but
restored health has meant SO much to me that
| cannot help from telling mine for the sake
of other suffering women.
/" For long time | suffered untold agony
with a uterine trouble and Irregularities,
which made me a physical wreck, and no one
thought | would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
| feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what splendid medicine it is"
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get q
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound at once, and write to
Mrs Pinkham, Lynn. Mass, for special
advice it is free and always helpful.

FEEDING ANIMALS IN WINTER.
Squirrels and Rabbits Most Quickly
Become Pets,

become refs.
OF the animals that We can coax
about our houses, the gray squirrels
become most friendly. Put nuts In
convenient places and they will make
frequent trips for supplies, but only
on comparatively mild days will they
remain long outside their comfortable
winter quarters, where they usually
have plenty of food stored.
In Central park, New York, the
gray squirrels have become so accus-
toned to being fed that they have to
great extent, given up storing food
and rely chiefly on what they can
pick up each day. Red squirrels can
be coaxed by means of food, but they
are very questionable fellows; in fact
the general opinion is decidedly
against them, owing to their partial
ity for eggs and young birds. Chip
hunks hibernate in their under
ground homes, SO we cannot count on
them for winter visitors.
The cotton-tail will condescend to
accept dainties in the form of green
vegetables Though one seldom has
such luxuries in the winter, but, as
he comes almost entirely at night, he
is not a very interesting guest.
