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. Pall Mall

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.

Board of Trade, asking that body to
prevent Chief Bimsou from "run

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." (Job 37, Verso
7.)

hand; riches and honor in tho left.

Reflections of a Spark Plug.
A chaufTour, In tho nhstrnct, Is any
chap that drives an automobile. 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."
