i HZ WHISPERING corn
F* v ® you e'er walked at early morn
Of this round world, mist-wet and dim!
Often have I, if but to hear
Mysterious whisperings far and near.
TI. jut* waking tta*
While hillsides yet are white with rime,
And whUe the flm lark, rising w'ingsT flings
Dew-spray from off hi, early L*t*ls
And now and theu a faint
Where cattle rise and shake their bells.
1 "e® a hun ter hither run.
Oh, trembling hare, far inward hie;
Ue close, oh, partridge, do not fly.”
The hunter lists. It seems to say;
“No game is lurking here to-day.”
Sometimes the farmer comes to see,
And theu it says: “Here’s gold for thee.
Which sun and air and sky and soil
Have gathered to reward thy toil.
Ten thousand sentinels in line
Guard each gift for thee and thine.”
Or if some Dives walks for health,
Worn out with care of useless wealth.
It whispers: “You make gold of tears,
Of hunger, curses, prayers and fears.
But here are alchemists whose gold
Must feed the hungry, warm the cold.”
Sometimes with heavy heart there goes
A love-lorn swain along the rows;
Then “List,” it lisps, “at husking bee,
When rafters rise with rustic glee
Of brown-cheeked maids and merry men,
Ah, you shall kiss her, kiss her then.”
Thus oft in low mysterious wise
Soft voices from the toll com rise—
Lulled lispings, as though unknown tongue
Whispered the long lush leaves among.
They tell me secrets sweet and true;
They’ll whisper, if you wish, to you.

Inventor Edison’s Megaphone.
The Americans who come home from
Paris now on every steamer appear to
have a much greater idea of Edison and
a much better knowledge of what Edison
has achieved in the electrical and scien¬
tific world than the stay-at-homes imag¬
ine. “The megaphone,” said one of
them yesterday, “in the magnificent ex¬
hibit which Edison made and which, by
the way, was the very finest thing in the
American exhibit, seemed to attract more
attention from the Frenchmen than did
any other of the Edison exhibits, not ex¬
cepting the graphophone, which is so
well known on this side. Going into the
American exhibit with a friend, you sent
him to a point a half mile away and asked
him to whisper certain words into the
megaphone. As soon, it seemed, as the
syllables had left his lips, they came
bounding over the wires to your ear so
greatly magnified that what he spoke as
a whisper reached you as a mighty roar,
powerful, resonant, yet as distinct as if
shouted at your side. The popular
American topical songs, as rendered
through the graphophone, attracted con¬
tinuous and enthusiastic crowds.”— Ness
York World.
Experience of a School Teacher.
A student at one of the medical
colleges, in talking of his past life, said:
“I used to teach school, and some ot
those taught were terrors. 1 remember
at one school there were a number of
half-grown boys who seemed to be in¬
spired by the evil one. They carried
railroad spikes, stones, billies and other
instruments with which to intimidate the
teacher, and incidentally I learned that
one of them carried a revolver for me.
One day I noticed him committing some
small infraction of the ruins and called
him forward. As he came toward me I
perceived that he wore a tight woolen
jacket. "When he had got as far as I
thought necessary, I halted bjm and step¬
ping up to him, told him tohnbutton his
frock. He declined to do it, wherupon
I grabbed him by the throat, telling him
if he made a single move I would drop
him to the floor. I then unbuttoned his
jacket, took his revolver from him, and
gave him the worst whipping that ever
a boy got in that district before or since.
After- that the school was a paragon in
the whole country. The lesson was a
most salutary one and never forgotten."
Judge Keatley, of Iowa, who has made
a personal inspection of the schools of
Alaska, reports that there are about, four¬
teen schools in the Territory, children, three of
which are for white the rest
being for natives.
