The apathy which the politicians have found such a marked feature of this political contest was entirely absent, *nd Senator Hill received an ovation. Town people were early astir prepar ing to march in the procession to the fair grounds in honor of the distin guished visitor, and trains, wagons and horses brought in from the country ami neighboring towns a large crowd of en thusiastic people. The old time fox hnnters rode or. horseback with powder horns slunc across their shoulders. Main street w:is decorated with bunt ing along its entire length, and th. fronts of many bfiildings were hidden with national colors. The procession formed about 10 o’clock in the morning and escorted Senate Hill, Senator Dauiels, and othec mew bers of the party through the princjpa streets to the fair grounds, situate, about two miles outside of town, wher. Senator Hill was to make the agricultn ral speech. It is said more people were in lin than ever before paraded in Lynchburg Clubs from Roanoke, Salem, Charlottes ville, find many smaller plains were i. the procession.

I was busy one bright September morning packing my tranks for my fall removal from my uncle’s house in the country to the marble fronted hotel on Broadway that numbered me each win ter among its inmates, when my cousin Adelaide came dancing into the room and commanded me to give up all thoughts of a journey for three months at least. ‘.‘And why, "pray?” I asked. “You know I have to go out west after I reach New York. Come what may, I must see an Indian summer on the prairies.” Bother the prairies and the Indian summer, too!” cried Adelaide, taking a letter from her apron pocket and waving it in the air. “Look at the signature.” 1 did look, and I might have been looking to this day for all tho informa tion I got; hut Adelaide grew impatient, and snatching the letter from my hand exclaimed: Listen, you goose,” and read the let ter aloud: “ ‘My Dear Friend—I am coming into the country for a month or two; my doctor positively forbids my staying h> New York during the fall. Remember ing our old schoolboy league I have ce lectedW as the place of my exile, and shall be thereon the 20th—wind and weather permitting.’” “Whatdo you think of that?’asked Adelaide, making large eyes at me over the top of the letter. I have not heard anything yet to make me postpone my journey.” “Wait a moment—I’ll finish, <l am, as ever, yours faithfully’ ” “Well, go on.” “ ‘James Quitman.’ ” “James Quitman! You are mad, Ad dis—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 tho time. Father is to meet him at the sta tion tonight, and not let him go to the hotel on any account. Won’t people ■tare when we walk into church next Sunday?” 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 ns both? Dinner was a thing unthought of in the house that day, and my uncle lunched meekly at one of the china closets off cold meat and bread and preserved strawberries, while Addie and I actually ate rose leaves and sugar and cream as a suitable pendant to the work in which we were engaged. Nothing lees ethereal would we partake while fitting up that poet’s chamber. By 4 o’clock that afternoon our labors were ended. The house was like a bed of roses; they blushed - and bloomed everywhere, and their fragrance was delicious in the upper chamber. My favorite pictures had been unpacked and arranged upon the parlor walls. Everything was perfect. The tea table sparkled with silver and cut glass; flow ers wreathed the dishes of preserve*' fruit, and cake and wine for the evening were ready on the sideboard, to say nothing of some delicately tinted ice cream which was still undergoing the process of “freezation” in the cellar. Of coarse the trainwas late that night. Trains always are late when we are ex pecting any one by them, and Addie and I had time to work onreelves into a fever ish state that gave us some very becom ing red cheeks. We heard the whistle of the train, and five minutes afterward a carriage stopped before the gate. The poet had come! He climbed out of the carriage like a crab—sidewise—and, coming up the graveled walk toward the frontdoor, presented to our admiring eyes the figure of a stoutiah, middle aged man, with dark eyes and hair and a very pleasant smile. He did not wear a Spanish cloak aud a sombrero—he was clad iu linen garments and thatched with a rough looking straw hat that had evidently see* service. We heard him as he came up the walk. “Veiy 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 managed to give him a civil greeting as he crossed the threshold. Was this the man who had raved about his Lydia That bosom, white and fond and fair, I would I were the enamored air, To faint and fall in paxing there. Law necks, indeed! I sat beside him at thp tea table, as had been previously ar ranged, and saw that all things were within his reach. Never did Hindoo idol tax his votary more severely. I had hardly time to snatch a mouthful my- snatching up tne volume. “Yes, I wrote it I was a boy—and, by George, my publishera-took it out of my desk and went mad over it, while they actually turned up their noses at my report of the poor laws—would you believe it?” Mv nude looked sympathizing. Addie arranged tho ice cream glasses before him whhout a word. “Butj-eir, look at the fame yon have won,” I remarked. Hem! fame—it’s a rag fluttering on a bush; I wouldn’t give a button for it. Five thousand dollars 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 gentle men resumed their political discussion, waxing so warm in the defense of tilt ir favorite views that they were in a fair way to clear the tray between th-.. Addie caught up the contemned V0I..11.3 of poems and vanished from the room. I followed her. She fled up the f :;r-s like a fairy, and 1 found her in the •> -c. s chamber, stripping the roses from the vases with frantic haste. “"What on earth are yon abou-i” I asked, halting on the threshold in amaze ment. “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 he only cares about eating and drinking, and being an alderman. Oh, it is too bad!” J burst out laughing and ran down stairs. The contrast between our dreams of the poet and the poet ai ho was was rich. I bad to wait a moment in the hall to get my face into “company order,” and then, pushing open the half closed door, I went back into the parlor At first sight 1 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? No; I heard my uncle pacing np and down the garden, as was his wont each evening, and the fragrance of the weed came that way, bat he was alone. Where was the poet? I caught sight of him at last, sitting at the open window with the rose col ored curtains falling in soft folds around him. The moon was up, shining glori ously upon the grassy yard beneath him; the night wind rustled in the leaves of the maples above his head. Addie, coming into the room, paused at the sight of my uplifted finger on the threshold. It had been all a “sham” then! Our poet, though a hearty eater, still re tained his love of the beautiful. What on earth had made him talk such heresy, when he sat rapped in enjoyment, never stirring, scarcely breathing, as he watched that glorious moon? I would steal softly to his side, pause, try to convict him and make him recant all the fibs he had told abont these beauti ful blossomings of his youth—the poems. The carpet was thick and soft, and it muffled my footfall effectually, and I stood beside him unnoticed. His face was hidden by his arm. I heard a chok ing sonnd—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 set tled down upon one 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 1 have never met a “poet.”—M. W. G. in New York News. Nmably five months ago a foolhardy seaman, Capt-J. W.

He took it up, turned over the pages, laughing now and then to himself, and finally tossed it back carelessly. “Tlie unconsciousness of genius!” whispered Addie in my ear, just as he turned upon us. “Who owns.this book?"

A farmer’s wife dreamed that she was walking near the house of a rejected lover—one O’Flanagan—attended by a beautiful hound, of which she was fond, when a raven dashed at him, killed him, and tearing out his heart flew away with it. She next imagined that she Was running home, and met a funeral, and from the coffin blood flowed upon the ground. The bearers placed it at her feet, opened the lid and exhibited her lmsband, murdered and his heart torn out. She awoke, as might be ex pected, in great terror. But here fol lows the most incomprehensible part of the narrative. Her husband entertained an idiot cousin in the house, and he in doggerel rhyme repeated the very same dream to a gossip to whom the farm er’s wife had related hers. That very night the fanner was mur dered, and the next morning the poor idiot, to the horror of all, exclaimed, as he rose from his bed: “Ulick”—Ulick Maguire was the farmer’s name—“is kilt!
