The story that Walt Whitman i in firm and poor calls to mind a story of the earlv days, when the author of "lllades of tirass" lived with his father in Uabylon. The old gentleman occu pied tin Minium place, west of the vil lage about a mile and ft half. It w as in JHJ(). The budding po-t, then eighteen year of age, had just rfiirned homo after hi venture in jouni9.:Hin in Hunt ington. Hi success had not been marked; in fact, it is questioned w hcihcr it should not bu put down u a miserable failure. Walt Whitman, n described by the old ladies of the village, was ft hand some youth, full of life, pert in his niaiineV and brisk ill his walk. He wan broad-shouldered and muscu lar, always walking erect, with a. sailor swing of easy independence. Hi dre suggested a "water dog." His collar was cut low and hi shirt front was usually rolled back, exposing hi robust breast. A short sailor-jacket and w ide trousers contributed an air of salt-water, and suggested a jolly ma rine out for an airing. Captain Simon Cooper is reported a saying: "lean smell salt water ten mile uway just on seeing Whitman. He wa a popular favorite nmong both sexe ill the Milage, anil many toll v Tarn are (old of those day. which, no doubt, the now aged mid suffering tioet can recall with pleasure. One of the stories called to mind is the arrest of the poet for an assault upon a young man named Heiijamin Carman. The Carman farm joined the farm occupied by the Whitmans. A trout pond formed the boundary. In this pond Walt delighted to lish. On a certain day while Whitman wa sitting in his boat angling, young Carman con reived the idea of lllllioying him. lie first, threw stone so as to disturb the water near the fisherman. Seeing no cfl'cct upon the stolid lisliermau, he got in his own boat and commenced leisurely rowing around in the vicinity of the I I, to the total destruction of lishing. Even this annoyance failed to call forth any reproof or remonstrance, ami Whit man lishfd on as though nothing was aiitioi ing hint. At lirst the lad w as cartful to keep beyond the reach of the lishiiig-pole, but finally, his suspicions being quieled by the manlier of the lish eriiian, who in a casual sort of a w ay plied him wiih various questions, ask ing if he w ere not a namesake of Ileuja iniu franklin, mid engaging him in cheerful conversation, the boy edged eearerand nearer, until, coming w ithin the sw ing of Whitman's lish-pole, the poet caught him unawares mid thrashed him linuiercifiillv, breaking his pole mid inflicting quite severe injuries upon the boy, dismissing him with the ad monition that the next time he refrain from interfering with his lishing. But this was not destined to be the 'list of the matter. The elder Carman, in rage at the ciistigaii n of hi son. swore out a warrant lor i unman a ar rest before Justice Joel Jarvis, of I Flint iiiLloti. In thus,, ilavs Ihibvloii was a and of 'H um and romance," mid many piaint characters clustered about the ullage. The new s of the important ar rest traveled like wild lire, and when h constable produced his pri -oner lie- lore the magistrate tho little "-by-!' court-room was crowded. (leueral H'u hard .'dull, afterward mendicrof the Assembly from Sullol';, appeared a attorney for Carman, while Whitman pleaded his own ease. Tim jury was made up of men who thought more of oimnoii sense than of law. The fore man was John falw ants, an l.n::l,sli- iii in, f ill of stubborn pcrsis! i lie, prepared to insist upon haing his own wa.

READING FOR GIRLS. The Point at Which Their lntcllrrtu.il Ca reer Is I'liisetl. We all know Charles Lamb's views on the subject of early reading, as expressed in his triumphant vindication of Bridget Klia's happily neglected education: "She was tumbled by accident or design into a spacious closet of good old English hooks, without much selection or pro hibition, and browsed at will upon that fair ami wholesome pasturage. Had I twenty girls, they slmuld be brought up exactly in this fashion." It is natural that but few persons are anxious to risk so hazardous an experiment, especially as the traiiiinir of "incomparable obi maid" i hardly the. recognized summit of maternal ambit ion: but Bridget Klia at least ran no danger of intellectual starvation, while, if we pursue a mod erate school girl along the track of her self-chosen reading, we shall be aston ished that so much printed matter can yield so little ni.mtal nourishment, sue has begun, no doubt, with childish ... . . . . . it stories, bright and well written, pronao- ly, following each other in such quick succession that none of I hem have lett any distinct impressions on her mind.
