other nature-starved fiat dweller to es-

Athenian slave who gave to his
trymen one happy day, l have earned
the right to their gratitude.
One of our experiences-not so de-
lightful-was the "wurrums,' as the
children called them. 1t was "a cater

about once In seven years. They hung
ir festoons from the caves, they coiled
in great ropes round the tree trunks,
and swung impenetrable wells from tree

the places they had invaded knew them
no more.

red dye. The little screened porch in
the rear we used as a dining-room,
keeping the table spread with a white
rubber cloth. Why not? 1t was so
easy to keep Immaculate and saved so
labor.
Imagine breakfast of a July morning
on the porch with the yellow sunlight
altering through the vines and the
fresh sweetness of the morning for an
appetizer. Did ever coffee have such
an aroma? And what a picture the

Rich little cruners Or doughnuts, made not more than two inches long
and busted thickly with powdered sugar, are a pleasant change from the

Potatoes. with Green PEPPERS.
SERVED HER RIGHT

A doctor was one day stopped
! in the street by one of his woman
patients whose malady was
purely imaginary. The doctor,
who was known for his intoler-
ance of and non-sympathy with
such invalids, after listening
somewhat impatiently to the
woman's detailed account of all
her feelings and symptoms, told
her to shut her eyes and put out
her tongue. She promptly did so.
On opening her eyes in a few
seconds the doctor was nowhere
to be seen, and the woman awoke
to the fact that he had left her
standing by herself in a busy
thoroughfare with her eyes shut
and her tongue hanging out.

BY JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.
NO. 30.


This poem, by JOIN Greenleaf Whit
tier, expresses the disappointment and
grief of the anti-slavery people over
Daniel Webster's famous speech of
March z, 1850, in which he supported
the compromise measure of Henry
CLAY. including the fugitive slave law
so obnoxious to the opponents of slav-
cry. Ichabod is a Biblical term, signi-
flying "where is the glory" referring
to a glory and repute that have van
ished.
So fallen. so lost; the light withdrawn
Which once he wore!
The glory from his gray hairs gone
For evermore!
Revile him not-the Tempter hath
A snare for all;
And plying tears, not scorn and wrath,
Beft his fall!
Oh, dumb be passions stormy rage,
When he who might
Have lighted up and led his age
Falls back in night.

Died 1892.

Scorn! Could the angels laugh to mari
A bright soul driven,
Fiend, goaded, down the endless dark,
From hope and heaven?
Let not the land once proud of him
Insult him now,
Nor brand with deeper shame his dim
Dishonored brow.
But let it's humbled sons, instead,
From sea to lake,
A long lament, as for the dead,
In sadness make.
OF all we loved and honored, taught
Save power remains
A fallen angels pride of thought
Still strong In chains.
All else is gone; from those great eyes
The soul has fed;
When faith is lost, when honor dies,
The man is dead!
Then pay the reverence Of old days
To his dead fame;
Walk backward, with averted gaze,
And hide the shame!
