POEM OF WH1TTIER, YOUTH, GAINS LIGHT. lllographer Kinds 300 Verses Written by New Englnnder Before He Was iir, Years Old. A Boston, Mass., special of Thurs day says: Poems written by John GrecnlealWhlttler under tho nom do plumo of "Feramorz," afid novor rec ognized as his until the originals wcro found a fow days ago In tho poet's old homestead In Amesbury by his biographer, Mr. Samuel T. Plckard. Several of thom may nov or bo published. Mr. Plckard says he has found threo hundrod poems written by Whlttler under his own namo before ho was twenty-flvo years old nnd that mnny of thorn have never been prlntod. These, Mr. Plckard says, ho Is particularly anxious to guard from publication, as well as some of those signed "Feramorz." Mr. Plckard lives In tho Whlttler home. He said: "Whlttler was a gay, lively young Quaker up to his twenty-llfth year. At that period of his llfo the whole tone of his writ ings and particularly his poems, changed. They are of tho same high quality found In his verse of later years. But I do not think Whlttler would want to have tho poems pub lished now. It would be an injustice to him." Tho last verse of "Tho Dreamer," which appeared In the Review on August 9, 1830, when Whlttler was the editor and which was signed "Feramorz," Mr. Parkard consented to permit the Herald to publish. It reads: "But like a fever's fltful sleep This vision, too, will pass away, Leaving his manhood's hour to weep Over Its swift and sure decay; TImo hurries on with eager pace And bears away his sunny dreams, While naught remains for him to tract Tho years Illumined by such bright gleams Save that Time deeply sets the seal Of sorrow on his brow of care That man may ever after feel The Impress of his simplest there 'TIs then the visions of his youth Their full and perfect change have met; They've slowly, 'darkened into truth,' And not one bright one lingers yet. Ho now is on his weary way, Realty's stern presence near him, No dream to blind him with Its ray, And nought but hope's dim star to cheer him." Under the title Whlttler wrote: "The warm, wild thoughts of youth folded their sunny pinions and dark ened Into truth. "The Dreamer" Is a poem of nine verses. Why Whlttler never ac knowledged Its authorship, or the authorship of nine or ten others to whirh he signed tho nom de plume of "Feramorz, is not answered by anything Mr. Plckard has so far found In the Whlttler homo. Offers for tho unrecognized Whit tier poems have been received from magazines all over the United States. Mr. Plckard says ho will refuse them. Other poems written by "Fera morz" and published in the Review In i830 were entitled "Tho Only One," "Tho Fat Man" and " The Lean Man." The last two were hu morous. Down In a Coal Mine. To the ear accustomed to the con stant sound of a living world tho still ness of a coal mine, where the miles of crosscuts nnd entries and the un yielding walls swallow up all sounds and echo is a sileuco that is complete, but us ono becomes accustomed to tho silence through long hours of solitary work sounds becorao audlblo that would escape an ear less trained. Tho trickling murmur of tho gas, tho spat tering fall of n lump of coal loosened by Rome mysterious force from a cranny In tho wall, tho sudden knock ing and breaking of a stratum far up In tho rock above or the scurry of u rat off somewhero In tho darkness strike on tho ear loud and startling. Tho eye, too, becomes trained to pene trate the darkness, but the darkness is bo complete that there is a limit tho limit of the rays cast by tho pit lamp. The Title "Esquire." Tho title "esquire" is derived from tho Freuch word ecuycr (u shield bear er) and originated In the old days of chivalry, when, ns Is well known, each knight appointed ono or more persons of gentle birth to carry his shield nnd perform other honorable services. Those persons wcro known us squires, or, more accurately, esquires, and were of such birth ns would peri rait of their bring in their turn cre ated knights when they should have merited tho distinction by deeds of valor or otherwise. In the reign of Richard II. the status cf tin esquire wns granted for tho llrst timo by let tors patent us u title of lienor meroly, no dutloM being attached. This moth' od of creation Is now olieolete, hut it marks an advanced utage In tho de cay of chivalry, which decay resulted In tho titles "knight" and "osqulre" becoming wholly honorary.

TOASTED ENGLISH MUFFINS. How to .Make Them in the True Brit ish Fashion. Toasted English muffins are highly enjoyed for breakfast and for tea. To make them do this: Into three cups of warm milk stir a small teaspoonful of salt, a largo tablespoonful of butter, melted but not hot, 2 teaspoonsful of granulated sugar and a half cake of compressed yeast. When the yeast is thoroughly dissolved sift into the liquid enough Hour to make a very stiff hatter al most too stiff to stir and yet not stiff enough to knead as dough would he kneaded. Beat this batter long and hard; then put Into a breadralser, cover and set In a warm place to rise. At tho end of six hours look at the dough, and if it is full of holes, like a honeycomb, it Is ready for use. Have a soapstone griddle, even ly heated. Spread tho pastry-board with flour. From the mass of dough cut quickly and lightly, handling as llttlo as possible, pieces of dough larger than a hen's egg and of uni form size. Drop each of these on the floured board, flour the hands and shape thom quickly and with as light a 'touch as possible into muffins, pat ting them gently Into shape and lay ing them at once on tho heated grid dle. Allow them to remain untouched whllo they swell and rlso to tho de sired 3lze. When brown on tho un der side lift with a cake-burner, and turn gently so tho upper size may be browned. Cook slowly that tho muf fins may be dono In tho center of the dough. They should bo an Inch thick when baked, and tho baking should tako about twenty minutes. Palmists Pervert Scripture. Paterson palmists, whoso business has been put under tho ban by tho police, aro quoting tho Bible In de fonso of their calling. Ono of thom sent an anonymous letter to tho Board of Trade, asking that body to prevent Chief Bimsou from "run ning out" the cult. She says palm istry is ono of tho greatest of tho sciences and quotes tho Blblo to prove her contention as follows: "God placed signs or seals In tho hands of man that all men might know their works."

In the concrete, ho Is the person whom you pay to lot you rldo In tho ton neiui. The word chauffeur comes from the French, nnd moans some thing warm, Hko hot nlr. Tho chauffeur Is commonly suppos ed to bo human, but not necessarily humane. With him tho killing or chickens is a pastltno nnd tho maim ing of pedestrians rt lino art. Ho litis no Hpccd limit, and lends a fast llfo with llttlo to chau-fcr It. Ho has more brass then his machine, nnd a douhlo molar has less nerve. The avorngo chaufTour Is unbear able; but when driving a Fint six ho Is Insufferable. Never careless about Ills appearance, except at court, ho dresses Hko his employer and looks like thirty cents. Ho Is usually In bad odor, and smells Hko numorous scents. Ono chauffeur can bankrupt two bankers, and sometimes earns moro than his employer over did. Ho has threo lives; tho llfo ho lives, the llfo ho takes In his hands nnd the llfo ho ought to servo in jail Ho has n set of rules which he novor breaks, except when ho Is In tho hospital, such as: Never go slow under any circum stances. Never blow horn except In front of a church. Novor be on time. Novor show intelligence or look pleasant. Never tnko a curve on moro than two wheels it Is unprofessional. Never slow down In time It looks timid; whllo stripping tho gears Is spectacular and gives tho impression of presence or mind. Never tako another man's dust un less it's of tho pocketbook variety. Novor learn road rules. Nevor appreclato a good Job. Never mend a tiro; there Is no commission In It. Never bo satisfied with your em ployer's machine. A good chauffeur will always smoke cigarettes while filling the gasoline tank. Although never much of a sport, he will give you a run for your mon ey. If you happen to havo enough. A rich man has no more show with a chauffeur than a camel has with the eye of a needle. Judge. Our best wishes to you for prosperous New Year. Blunders of the Clergy. At a social evening at the home of a local merchant recently the con versation turned to the subject of 'breaks" mado in downtown churches, where the members of tho congregation never became fully ac quainted with everybody else. The story was told of a Lowell clergyman who, upon one occasion, exhorted his parishioners to bo more cordial In greeting strangers In the church. At the close of the service ono of the members turned to another member of tho congregation and said cor dially: "I am glad to see you hero this morning, and I hope that you will come again." "I expect to," was the 'reply. "I have been coming here for forty years." But a clergyman present in the drawing room told this even better ono: "In coming to a new church," he said, "I committed the blunder of introducing one man upon two oc casions to his mother-ln-lnw."

His voice seemed to give her as surance. Sho smiled again. "No, Indeed." He put his fingers beneath her dimpled chin and titled her bonny head back, then gazed at her earn estly. Her limped eyes looked up at him trustingly. Tho roseplnk of her cheeks came and went fitfully. The white of her throat throbbed with each breath. He bent nearer to her, still with that fixed gazo.
