MY POET
I was busy one bright September
morning packing my frunks for my
fall removal from my uncle^B, hou|o
in the couht&to ?* m^lgjfr front
ed hotel oj?l Broadway tliat num
bered me eacfywfrt?? ajnaorig its |n
jaates when my cousin Adelaide
came dancing into the rpom and
commanded mo! to give ; up all
thoughts of a journey fo* three
months at least, j
"And why, pray Y* I asked. "You
know I have to go out west after I
reach New York. Come what may,
X must see an Indian summer on
the prairies."
"Bother the prairies and the In
taking a letter from her apron pock
et ami waving it in the air. "Look
at the signature/'
I did look, and I might have been
looking to this day for all the in
formation I gotfc but Adelaide grew
impatient and, snatching the letter
from my hand, exclaimed, "Listen,
you goose!" and read the letter
aloud.
My Dear Friend?I am coming* into tho
country for a month or two. My doctor
positively forblda my staying in New
York during the fall. Remembering our
old schoolboy league. I Have selected W.
as the place of my exile and shall be
there on the 20th, wind and weather per
mitting.
"What do you think of that?"
asked Adelaide, making large eyes
at me over the top of the letter.
"I have not heard anything yet
to mako me postpone my journey.**
"Wait a moment; PIl finish. 1
am, as ever, yours faithfully' "?
"Well, go on."
?" Tames Quitman.' "
"James Quitman! You are mad,
Addie. He can never be coming
here."
"There is the letter. Father has
always known him, it seems. It is
the poet, and we are to have him
stay here all the time. Father is to
meet him at the station tonight
and not let him go to the hotel on
any account. Won't people stare
when we walk into church next Sun
day?"
I closed the lid of my trunk in
the twinkling of an eye. The poet
I had so often longed to see, the
man over whose tender verses I had
made myself a Niobe scores of times
?was it possible that the same roof
was going to shelter us both ?
Dinner was a thing unthought of
in the house that day, and my undo
lunched meekly at one of the china
closets off cold meat and bread and
preserved strawberries, while Ad
die and I actually ate rose leaves
and sugar and cream as a suitable
pendant to the work in which we
were engaged. Nothing less ethe
real would we partake while fitting
up that poet's chamber. By 4
o'clock that afternoon our labors
were ended. The house* was like
bed of roses.
Of course the train- w. i late that
night. Trains alwayB art J ite when
we are expecting any one by them,
and Addie and I had time to work
ourselves into a feverish state that
gave us some very becoming red
cheeks. We heard the whistie of
the train, and five minutes after
ward a carriage stopped before the
gate. The poet had cornel
He climbed out of the carriage
like a crab, sidewise, and, coming up
the graveled walk toward the front
door, presented to our admiring
eyes the figure of a stoutish, middle
aged man, with dark eyes and hair
and a very p?easant smile. He did
not wear a Spanish cloak and a
sombrero. He was clad in linen
garments and thatched with a rough
straw hat that had evidently seen
service. We heard him as he came
ip the walk.
"Very pretty house, Tom; very
pretty house. Those girls your
daughters, hey? I see they've got
those horrid city fashions?low
neck and short sleeves. If I had a
daughter, I'd sew her dress to her
ears."
Addie and I looked at each other
in consternation and barely''man
aged to give him a civil greeting as
he crossed the threshold. Was tins
the man who had raved about' hi9
Lydia?
That bosom, white and fond and fatr,
I would I were the enamored air
To faint and fall in passing there.
Low necks, indeed! I sat beside
him at the tea table, as had been
previously arranged, and saw that
all things were within his reach.
Never did Hindoo idol tax his vo
tary more severely. I had hardly
time to snatch a mouthful myself,
though, forjthe matter of that, his
appetite quite took ?way my own.
He was a regular Dr. Johnson for
tea, strawberry preserves pleased
bim, and soda biscuits vanished be
fore his attack as green things be
fore the march .of a cloud of lo
custs. Heaven knows he hod one
qualification?a stomach!
Tea over, we adjourned to the
rose scented parlors, and the vol
ume on the center table caught his
eye. He took it up, turned over the
TQges, laughing now , and then to
himself, and finally tossed it back
carelessly.
"The unconsciousness of genius 1"
whispered Addie in my ear just as
be turned upon us. \
"Who owns this book?"
I modestly answered that I had
that great pleasure.
. "Great pleasure, hey? She calls
*t a pleacure, Tom! Hem! I sup
pose j: ought to. feel complimented:
but "I don't. Ydujiglady, will you
do me one favor ?"
"What is it, sir ?"
"Put that stupid trash into tho
fire."
"Stupid trash!" cried Addie,
aghast, snatching up the volume.
"Yea;, I wrott it. I was a boy,
and, by George, my publishers took
it out xA my; desk and* ."went mad
oter it, wbflo they actually turned
up mil noses at my ?report of the
poorhm. .Wouldyoubelieveit?"
My uncle looked sympathizing.
Addie arranged tho ice cream glasses
before him without a word.
"But, sir, .look at tho fame you
have won," I remarked.
"Hem! Fame! It's a rag flut
tering on a bush. I wouldn't givo
a button for it. Five thousand dol
lars a year will keep you well clothed
and well fed. Fame won't."
He helped himself to an ice.
There was no reply. The two
gentlemen resumed their political
discussion, waxing so warm in tho
defense of their favorite views that
.thoy were in a fair way to clear the
tray between them. Addie caught
up tho contemned volume of poems
and vanished from the room. I fol
lowed her. She fled up. the stairs
like a fairy, and I found.her in the
poet's chamber, stripping the roses
from the vases with frantic haste.
"What on earth are you abcut?"
I asked, halting on the threshold in
amazement.
"He shall not have one of them,"
she said, half crying. "His curtains,
shall not be looped up with them. I
have a great mind to tie them back
with rope yarn. To think how we
worked all the day to give him
pleasure, and after all ho only cares
aLout eating and drinking and be
in? an alderman. Oh, it is too
bad!"
I burst out laughing and ran
downstairs. The contrast betweon
our dreams of the poet and the poet
as he was was rich. I had to wait
a moment in the hall to get my faco
into "company order," and then,
pushing open the half closed door,
I went back into tho parlor.
At first sight I thought it was
empty. The chairs were pushed
away from the table, and there was
a faint smell of cigars. Had they
actually been smoking there? K"o*
I heard my uncle pacing up and
down the garden, as was his wont
each evening, and the fragrance of
the weed came that way, but he was
alone. Where was the poet ?
I caught sight of him at lp't, sit
ting at the open window with the
rose colored curtains falling in soft
folds around him. The moon was
up, shining gloriously upon tho
grassy yard beneath him. The night
wind rustled in the leaves of tho
maples above his head. Addie, com
ing into the room, paused at the
sight of my uplifted finger on tho
threshold.
It had been all a "sham" then.
Our poet, though a hearty eater,
still retained his love of the beauti
ful. What on earth had made him
talk such heresy when he sat rapt
in enjoyment, never stirring, scarce
ly breathing, as he watched, that
glorious moon ? I would steal soft
ly to his side, pause, try to convict
him and. make him recant all the
fibs ho had told about these beauti
ful blossomings of his youth, the
poems.
The carpet was thick and soft,
and- it muffled my footfall, effectual
ly, end I stood beside him unno
ticed. His face was hidden by his
arm. I heard a choking 6ound?he
was weeping. My heart melted in a
gush of pity. I laid my hand upon
his shoulder as sympathizingly as
I could. He started a little. His
head Bettlod down upon op? side,
exposing his face. The mouth
opened, and?he snored!
The next morning I started on
my trip to the west, and from that
day to this I have never met a
"poet."_
The Cruet Wife.
A man who was. given to grum

tory rheumatism and was carefully
nursed by his wife, who was very
devoted to him in spite of his fault
finding disposition.' His suffering
caused her to burst into tears some
times as she sat at his bedside.
One day a friend of the invalid
came in and asked him how he was
getting on.
"Badly, badly!" he exclaimed.
"And it'e all my wife's fault."
"Is it possible V* asked the friend
in surprise.
"Yes. Tr . doctor told me that

THREEFOLD LIGHTNING.
An Ancient Belief Coup'ed With Mod
ern Scientific Decrees.
The Etruscans of old- believed in
three kinds of lightning?one inca
pablo of doing any injury, another
more mischievous in its character
and consequently only to be issued
with the consent of a quorum of
twelve gods, and a third carrying
mischief in its train and for which
a regular decree was required from
the highest divinities in the Etrus
can sines. Curiously enough, mod
ern scientists, following the lead
taken by Arago, have.also decreed
that the varieties of lightning are
threefold. The first comprehends
that in which the discharge appears
like a long luminous line, bent into
angles and zigzags and varying in
complexion from white to blue, pur
ple or red. This kind is kLown.as
forked lightning, because it some
times divides into two or more
branches before reaching the earth.
The second differs from the first
in the range of surface over which
the flash is diffused. From this cir
cumstance the discharge ;a desig
nated sheet lightning, and if any
real parallel can be instituted'be
tween the Etruscan and modern va
rieties this may be said to corre
spond with the innocuous ligjhtnirg
which any single god of Etruria
could launch at his pleasure.
The third class are not only re
markable for their eccentricities,
but they have been made the sub
ject of considerable contention.
They differ so widely from the moro
ordinary manifestations that many
meteorologists hr.Te denied their
right to be treated as legitimate
lightnings. They neither assume
the form*of long line3 on the one
hand nor of sheets of flames on the
other, but exhibit themselves as
balls or globular lumps of fire*?

Ancient Foot Coverings.
If we are to judge of the foot cov
erings handed down to us as relics
from the courts of France, Spain,
England and Germany, we can but
conclude that for an extremely long
period of time, probably eight or
ten centuries, the dressing of the
human foot has been, even in the so
called civilized countries, but slight
ly different and only in degree from
the customs of the followers of Con
fucius for thousands of years.
Fortunately for art, unfortunate
ly for the history of civilization, so
called, the artist of olden as well as
modern times has not copied except
in portraiture the cramped foot, the
narrow toe, the elevated heel and
the piDched instep, which have long
accompanied the human foot. It
seems reasonable to suppose, how
ever, that the Roman artist and
critic and the Grecian as well fully
attempted to give us the perfect
foot as found in the well developed
Grecian woman of the day.
The sandals worn at the time
when Borne was in her ?plendor
were undoubtedly so constructed
as to afford ample opportunity for
the development of the foot and
exhibit the beauty of its conforma
tion.
Moral Effect of Diets.
An exclusively pork diet tends in
fallibly to. pessimism. Beef, if per
severed in for months, makes a man
strong, energetic and audacious,
says Pearson's Weekly. A mutton i
diet continued for any length of
time tends to melancholia, while
veal eaters gradually lose energy
and-gayety. The free use of eggs
and milk tends to make women
healthy and vivacious. Butter used
in excess renders its users phleg
matic and lazy. Apples are excel
lent for brain workers, and every
body who has much intellectual
work to do should eat them freely.
Potatoes, on the contrary, render
one dull, invidious and lazy when
eaten constantly and. in excess. To
preserve the memory even to an ad
vanced age nothing ia better than
mustard._
Great Men Who Danced.
The ancients regarded dancing as
a necessary accomplishment. Soc
rates learned the art in his old age,
whilo Plato in.his "Commonwealth*'
advocated the establishment of
dancing schools. The Romans cele
brated their victories and pastoral
festivals by elaborate dances. They
excelled in pantomime dances, from
which the ballet was evolved. The
Emperor Domitian forbade the sen
ators to dance and for so doing re
moved several members from the
senate. Grave statesmen and poli
ticians of "high degree have excelled
in tho oldest of the prts. r?
Queer Inventions.
In 1854 a patent was granted in
France on a combination opera hat
and bandbox, and during the ssmc
year a mouth glue was invented for
artistic purposes, such as sticking
on photographs, negatives and for
use on envelopes and postage
stamps. The ingredients of the
gum were cow's heel for adhesive
ness and extract of vanilla, by
which to avoid offense to the taste.

NATURAL SMUGGLERS.
Women Cannot or Will Not Under*
stand the Customs Laws..
While he admits that our customs
regulations are ' odious and more
rigid than those of any other coun
try in the world, William ?. Curtis
declares that tho greater part of the
trouble of which returning travelers
complain is due to their own folly
in endeavoring to elude the vig
ilance of the inspectors, for people
who aro detected in tricks always
have to pay the penalty. He aaya :
"People cannot be mado to under
stand that every article they have
*pui chased abroad, no matter what
it is or who it is for or what they
paid for it, must bo taxed according
to the laws of congress. If it is
only a glove or a photograph or a
little memento of insignificant val
ue, it is required to pay duty, just as
if it were brought in by the carload.
That law was made by congress and
not by the inspector who meets you
at the dock or the collector of cus
toms, to whom he is subordinate, or
tho secretary of the treasury, who
frames the regulations. But aver
age travelers seem to be unable
to get it out of their minds, particu
larly the women, that the inspectors
who examine their trunks are im
pertinent and offensive, intruders.
"Travelers returning from Europe
can get through tho customs easily
and cheerfully it they will exercise
a little patience and do honest and
candid. If they are looking foi
trouble, they can find plenty of it,
but it is a great deal better for them
to accept the situation, obey the
law and avoid quarrels with the in
spectors.
"The latter are required to per
form a disagreeable duty. They ar(
employed by the government to pre
vent smuggling, and their living as
well as their reputation depend;
upon their vigilance. Most of then
aro experienced and shrewd detec
fives, who are accustomed to dea
with people who are trying to evad<
the law and the payment of theii
just dues. They are naturally sus
picious. No one could serve manj
months as a custom house inspecto;
without having his faith ?n human
ity and especially in the feminine
gender entirely dispelled. Womei
are natural smugglers. They can
not or will not understand the law.'
Sulphur In the Mineral Kingdom.
Sulphur occurs very widely dis
tributed in the mineral kingdom
partly free and partly combin?e
with other elements. The free sul
phur is either found pure in regu
larly formed crystals or intimately
mixed with earthy matters. In it*
native state sulphur is largely f ounc1
in Sicily and Italy and as a genera;
rule in abundance in volcanic dis
tricts. The brittleness of 6ulphui
renders the cleavage imperfect. Sul
phuric acid is an important combi
nation and a very dangerous one ir
inexperienced hands. Sulphur com
bined with a number of elements,
such as iron, copper, lead, etc., fur
nishes the sulphides. In tho vege
table kingdom sulphur is a small
constituent of the albuminous bod
ies aud of certain volatile irritant
oils. Moreover, the vegetable juices
contain it in the form of certain
sulphates._

FOUGHT WITH POTATOES, j
A Duel In Which a Preacher Demol
ished a Desperado.
A duelist, like many another man
who takes himself too seriously,
can sometimes be more powerfully
influenced by ridicule than by any
thing else. A story current in Ken
tucky tells how Bill Bowman, who
was a noted circuit preacher and a
muscular Christian many years ago,
once used this effective weapon with
good results.
At ono of his meetings a local
desperado created a disturbanco and
on heing publicly rebuked by Bow
man sent him a challenge to fight*
Bowman, as tho challenged party,
had tho choice of weapons.
Ho selected a half bushel of Irish
potatoes a3 big as his fist for each
man and stipulated that his oppo
nent must stand fifteen paces dis
tant and that only ono potato at a
time should bo taken from tho
measure.
The desperado was furious at be
ing thus insulted and made an in
dignant protest, but Bowman re
minded him that the challenged
man had a right to choose his own
weapons and threatened to de
nounce tho desperado as a coward
if he failed to come to time. As
thero was no way out of the box but
to fight, the desperado consented.
The light took place on tho out
skirts of the town. Everybody was
present to boo tho fun. The sec
onds arranged tho two men in posi
tion, by the sido of each being i
half bushel measure filled with po
tatocs as hard as bricks.
Bowman threw the first potato
It struck his opponent and flew int<
a hundred pieces. A yell of deligh
went up from the crowd. That dis
concerted the desperado, and hi
potato flew wide of tho mark.
Bowman watched his chance. Ev
cry time the desperado stooped fo
a potato another potato took him ii
the side. The sixth potato struc]
him in the short ribs, knocking th
wind completely out of. him an
doubling him up on the grass.
The people were almost craz
with laughter, but Bowman looke
as sober as if he had just finishc
preaching a funeral sermon. Th
desperado was taken home and pu
to bed, and there he stayed for moi
than a week before he recovcrc
from the effect of his potato due
It was * long time before anothc
duel took place in that region.
