LONGFELLOW'S SMITHY.
Il Good Enough Original in Var
zcickshire.
Rugby, December II.


An American asks me whether Dunchurch
smithy was the one Longfellow had in mind
when he wrote The Village Blacksmith" 1 am
afraid there is no explicit evidence that he ever
saw it, although he might have passed it in go
fng from Liverpool to London or in making the
circuit of the famous places in WarwicSshire
Dunchurch is the London posting road a
few miles south of Rugby and Longfeow's first
Journey to Europe made before the rail-
ways in operation. This when he was
preparing himself for teaching modern Ian
guagcs and literature, and the greater part or
his three years abroad spent in Spain. Italy.
France and Germany. He returned after six
years and travelled mainly in Scandinavia, Hol-
land and Belgium. This second journey was
brought to a close in 1886, when he had barely
published "Coplas de Manrique' few transla-
tons and "Outre Mer." 1t not until 1899
that his first characteristic verse appeared in
print "Vocos of the Night; and it not
until 1S41 that "The Village Blacksmith" was
included in the collection Ballads and Other
Poems" If the Dunchurch smithy any other
English Wayside forge suggested the poem. he
must have received the impression during or
the other of these early journeys and have re-
called it years aftcrward. His journey to the
Rhine was made after the publication of the
"Ballals." and it was not until 1S6S'59, over a
quarter of a century after "The Village Black
smith" saw the light, that he travelled in
leisurely way in England.
Dunchurch smithy had the meagre local color
required for the poem. The square tower of the
village church where the sturdy smith could
hear the parson Sunday directly behind

door and the school was near by, that the

two horses at once Under cover. Behind it was
the thatched roof of the blacksmiths humble
home, and it flanked by old fashioned
inn, with shapely gables and well founded ira
dition. 1 am half convinced that the tradition
New-York tribune., 1906-12-30

is still there, little the worse for time; that the
church as well as the tree comes into the picture
and that the school children are still lettering in
the road
Unfortunately for Dunchurch. it has many
rivals for the honor of having inspired the poets
homily in verse. 1 would not like to say how
many smithies in English villages have been
pointed out to me by local enthusiasts as Long
fellows own There is always a blacksmith's S
shop at the entrance of a village. and ordinarily
IT stands underneath a spreading tree-an oak
If not a chestnut and some allowance has to be
made for the exgencies of the metre, The
church and the school come in as a matter Of
course. Thurleston. Hillmorton. Billion and all
the other Warwickshire villages round about
Dunchurch have their smithy institution

English village would not look right; and Long
fellow in his English journeys probably saw
New-York tribune., 1906-12-30

would have made deeper impression on Long
fellow than the glimpse of the blacksmith at the
open door, for il a story of the Guy Fawkes
conspiracy. The old Lion Inn had been selected
as the rendezvous of the cOnspirators, and they

pretence Of joining in a big hunting bout In

ing Gal,oWs tree in every oak bole and pur-
sued by fiery rOrtents in the backest of skies
How sharply the coach drivers must have
cracked their whips while telling this story to
passengers the roof in the good old days!
Longfeow would not have missed the recital
if he had been trundling through Dunchurch on
the London road! Yet if he had heard it, would
he have had eyes for the blacksmith at the open
door beyond the Guy FaWkes house? 1 cannot
vouch for it without having the proof in diary

New Trial Denied.

Mrs. Angie Birdsong who was denied
a newtrial by Judge Miller at Halle
hurst was sentenced to five years IN
the penitentiary and notice was given
of appeal to the Mississippi supreme
court.
When notice of appeal was filed
counsel for Mrs. Birdsong made appll-
cation for bail, which was granted in
the sum of $4,000. Major Fox, IA
ther of Mrs. Birdsong, A. @. May, OF
Jackson, and other friends Of the wo-
man signed the bond.
Mrs. Birdsong shot and killed DR..
Thomas Butler at Monticello, Miss,
November 25, 1905, alleging the Sun
written law" as her defense. She was
recently tried for murder and con-
victed of manslaughter, since which
time she has been confined to her bed
with illness. Because Of her young
child and the illness Of the convicted
woman, she was never sent to Jail.
The young defendant was brought
to court lying on cot moaning with
pain and fever, calling continually
for water, and at times nearly delir-
ious. She listened for an hour and
quarter to her counsel's arguments for
leniency and a new trial. She was al
lowed to hear the sentence without
standing. A striking feature of this
scene was the fact that the leading ar
gument for Mrs. Birdsong was made
by lawyer himself SO i'll that he re-
clined in an invalid's chair while adj
dressing the court. This was Mr.. Nil
ler, who suffered a complete break
down at one of the critical parts Of
the trial.

of having struck o playmate so hard
that he cried for q very long time.
Then the angels sat down to talk
over all that had happened, and what
they should do. Should they try
longer to find angels? Or must they
give up their task? They decided to
have another try. A short distance
away they saw number of children
standing, looking over into an or
chard. The angels went to them,
hoping to find some who were per-
fectly white, but after having exam
ined their hands and lips they could
not find one who had not spots Of
some sort. One would not say pray
ers; another refused to obey his par
ents, and some loved to tease their
sisters SO that they could not learn
the lessons without terrible him
ORANGES. All the hands and all the
lips were discolored. There were no
perfect ones to be found, every one
had spot either large or small. So
they determined to go back to their
home without more trying. They
said, goodbye, little children, we
will go and tell the King and see
what He will say"
Immediately they flew back to
heaven and told the King that they
could not find even one sweet little
white angel to bring back with them
to heaven. The King said that He
was sorry, very, very sorry, and
promised that He would Himself go
down to earth and become little
child, that they might see how easy
it is to be good when they wish to be,
and try to do as He wishes them to
do.
And He really came. He was born
in a little town called Bethlehem,
where He grew up to be boy and
afterwards to be man. Everyone
who knew how kind He was to those
who did not love Him was surprised,
and learned. from Him how to be
kind, loving and true. BY His sweet
example He taught boys and girls
that it was easier to be good than
naughty, and that they were not
obliged to do wrong things, and they
would not if they would try to do as
He did. And He taught something
else. What do you think 1t was?
That when they tried to be good they
always felt power come into them
which enabled them to practice just
what they wished to do.
But He did what no one else ever
did. He suffered every kind of abuse
and insult that men chose to offer,
and at length He shed His most prec-
ious blood on the cruel cross, so that
every spot and every stain which had
spoiled the childrens lips and hands

her lips they saw stains caused by
saying cross words when she was
angry. 80 dear! o dear!" sighed
the angels. What shall we dor
We cannot find any white angels.
They walked along until they
reached large garden where great
many children were playing. There
was a little boy, seven years old, and
they asked him, Are you an angel,
little boy?" Then he began to sing
very softly, 81 want to be an angel,
and with the angels stand" Look

One was caused through taking his
brothers candy without his leave,
another through throwing stone at

at a mistake made in the lesson, and

might be washed away. Besides, He
cleanses the heart so that they think
good things and wish to do them, and
they pray every day Create within
me clean heart, o God," because Of
which they always avoid doing
things which will make them sorry.
They help their sisters to learn their
lessons and say kind words and do
kind things for their friends. Then
when they die Jesus sends His angels
to take them to His home in the sky.
Now, the angels are glad that they
came to see our world, and that the
Son of God came to save 1t from the
results Of wrong-doing. ! feel sure
that every child who reads this story
