xn the first number of the Atlantic Monthly Ralph Waldo Emerson had . poem called "Brahma,' which puzzled both critics and common readers. Some said it was the grea test poem of the century. Some said it was non sense. The first verse ran as follows: If the red slayer think he stays,
 Or if the slain think he is slain
 They know not well the subtle ways
 l keep and pass and turn again
 That winter it happened that rela- i've of the poet Longfellow, living in another state, bought sleigh, and in family letter to the cousins in Cam bridge there was wall lest the Janu- ary thaw which had followed the pur- chase should keep them from enjoying the gay cutter that season When the letter was answered, Longfellow con- tributed this verse, which, 1t is said has never been printed before:
 TO ON THE PURCHASE OF 4
 SLEIGH.
 If tho red sleigher think he sleighs
 Or If the sleighin think 1t is sleighin,
