PROVED A POET.
A Youthful Experience Of John Green.
leaf Whittier.

John Greenleaf Whittier used to de-
clare that at A very early age he knew
himself to be a real poet and would
often relate, writes Mrs. Abby j. Wood
man in her "Reminiscences Of Whit
tiers Life at Oak Knoll" an amusing
experience when he was a student at
the Haverhill academy. Mrs. Wood
man gives it In Mr.. Whittier's own
words:
There is but little doubt that at the
age Of twenty i felt myself 30 be a
real poet, somewhat unknown to fame,
but sufficiently acknowledged as such
by the committee directing the dedica-
ton of the new academy for them to
invite me to read an original poem on
that occasion.
Robert Dinsmore, an old Scotch
farmer in Windham and a writer of
rhyme and doggerel verse, was also in
vited to do the same. The honor of
leading the procession which marched
through the streets Of Haverhill to the
new academy was given to the two
poets.
/ often laugh when | recall the scene
to memory. The hale old Scotchman
short and plethoric, his uncertain steL
and bearing slightly eXhilarated by g
generous draft of old Scotch whisky
before we started, was somewhat Of
q contrast TO me, a rather tall and slen-
der Quaker lad in Quaker hat and
coat and half frightened out of my
wits by the honor heaped upon me.
However, we delivered u poems all
right. and | am thinking that must
have been the time when / was dubbed
"the Quaker poet"

A STRANGE LAKE.
Sulphur Islands Acid Waters Will
Eat Up Boats.

Sulphur Islands Acid Waters Will
Eat Up Boats.
A strange lake exists in the center
Of Sulphur island, off New Zealand.
1t is fifty acres in extent, about twelve
feet in depth and fifteen feet above the
level of the sea.
The most remarkable characteristic
Of this lake is hat the water contains
vast quantities of hydrochlOric and sui
phuric acids Kissing and %bubbling at a
temperature of 10 degrees T..
The dark green colored water looks
of sulphuric fumes constantly roll off
this boiling caldron, and care has to be
exercised in approaching this lake to
avoid the risk of s%uffocation. On the
opposite side of the lake may be seen
the tremendous blowholes, which which
in full blast present an awe inspiring
sight.
The roar Of the steam as it rushes
forth into the air is deafening. and
often huge powders and stones are
hurled out to a height of several hun
dred feet by the various internal forces
Of nature.
A boat can be launched or the lake
and If proper are be observed the very
edges of the blowholes may be safely
explored.
Some idea of the strength of the acid
saturated water of this lake may be
gathered from the fact that a boat al
most dropped to pieces after all the
passengers had been landed. as the
rivets had corroded under the influence
of the acids.

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon by Rev. II. Preston
During the past week we have bask-
ed in the sunlight of an Indian suns
mar. Great harvests roll into the
granaries of the world. 1t is a pleas
ure to look into the conrented faces
Of those whose spiritual granaries are
full, and are basking in the sunlight
of life's Indian summer.
An old man is like an ancient tree.
We revere old historic trees, but we
reverence far more a human life, the
product of storm and zephyr, of sun
light and frost, of contest and victory.
The treasures of knowledge belong
to old age. Intoxicated with the first
quaff of knowledge, youth boasts of
its wisdom; but old age, seeing the
vast ocean of undiscovered truth, looks
upon It's accumulations as a small
thing.
When the fire burns low, aud the
feet go but slowly, the eye grows dim
and the heart responds with a sober
beat; then The halls of memory swing
open, the Cd songs and the old shouts
fill the air, the old faces, the old joys.
How rich the aged are. All the
ships of memory are sailing their way.
Memory, like a good landscape
gardener, hides the dark and rugged
places, and we look only on fair fields
aud pleasant vistas.
No character can be so well round
ed and developed as that of old age,
Character is the precipitate from the
stream of conduct. The years run by
as sand in the stream where the old
miners stood to wash for gold. That
which is left behind is the real value
of the passing years.
Do not be in a hurry to go nor fe'l
that you stay too long. Moving day
is not far off. The hand hat shakes
so it can no longer hold the earthly
tools will be quite steady when il
craps the harp of heaven.

That De Smet is one of the best
trading points and one of the liviliest
towns along the G. q n. w. in the
northwest is a fact of which one only
needs to visit the town on a Saturday
to be convinced. Saturday last as
we walked down the street we MOTTO
ed that it was a hard matter for teams
to meet and pass at all points owing
to the number and string Of vehicles
backed up against the curb on both
sides of the street for nearly a block
south of Haze Is livery barn. Several
cars of stock were shipped and the
elevators took in several cars of grain
The merchants were all busy and the
town had the appearance of being up
and doing in every way. Travelling
men all have a good word for De
Smet as being one of the live towns
along the line.
Candidates far appointive posi-
tions at the coming session of the
Legislature + quite numerous al
ready, and doubtless there will be
more to follow. For the position OF
chief clerk of the lower house Geo. FL.
Grace is out and has the backing OF
the Black Hills section, aud Mr.. Cone
who has had considerable experience
in that position, IS also a candidate
Both are strong men and it will prove
to be a contest worth watching.

And we specially tender Mrs. Hardy

We surely expect great things from
her untiring Efforts in this Normal.
And all praise be to her for an I'm.

Late Cultivation of Cotton.

This is a very important time
in the cultivation Of cotton.
With occasional showers and
rains, giving plenty of moisture
for the growing crop, will cause
some neglect breaking the crust
thus forming a dust mulch. The
cultivation should be shallow and
nearly on a level, keeping a loose
blanket of fine earth all over the
surface. This will prevent the
too rapid evaporation of mois-
ture and will allow an easy pas
sage of air through the soil
which aids in the liberation of
plant food. By going shallow,
fewer roots are broken and the
plant is kept growing. If deep
cultivation is practiced, the plant
is checked in it's growth by hav.
ing a great many of it's roots bro
ken, thus cutting off its supply
of plant food. It then becomes
for the plant to throw off a por.
ton Of it's fruit, because the
roots being cut off, and conse-
quently the supply of plant food
is cut off, as we'll, the root sys-
tenn not being sufficient to sup
port so heavy a crop.
Neglect in the cultivation will
cause to shed. If the crust be
not broken. the soil dries out
rapidly, the air is excluded, and
again the supply of plant food is
not sufficient, because there is
not enough moisture to supply
it.
| would, therefore, urge late
cultivation, going about an inch
and a half deep with either a heel
sweep or a light "V" harrow
with a dust board attached to the
back of it. If the cotton were
cultivated in the above mention
ed manner, the yield per acre
would be greatly increased.

Push.

An exchange suggests that if
there were more push in the
world there would be fewer hun
CRY, half clothed, homeless, suf-
fering children; fewer broken
down, dissipated men and women
less need of aims houses, houses
of correction and homes for the
friendless. Push means a lift
for a neighbor in tronble. Push
means a lift for yourself out OF
the slough of dependency and
shiftlessness. out of trouble. real
fancied. Push never hurts any
body. The harder the push the
better, if it is given in the right
direction. Always push up hill
few people need push down hill,
Don't be afraid Of your muscles
and sinews; they were given to
use. Don't be afraid of your
hands; they were meant for SER
vice. Don't be afraid of what
your companion may say. Don't
be afraid of your conscience; it
will never reproach you for a
good deed-but pnsh with all
your heart, might and soul,
Whenever you see anything or
anybody that will be better for a
long time, strong, determined
push.
Push! 1t is just the
word for the grand clear morn
ing of life; it is just the word
for the word that is full of work
as this is. If any body is in
trouble and you see it, don't
stand back, push!
If there is anything good being
done in any place where you hap
pen to be. push!
