—This paragraph is going the rounds
of the literary press: A farmer in the
outskirts of Newburyport, Mass., was
mowing his hay field, a day or two since,
when a stranger with auburn hair and
beard, a gold-headed cane, and several
rings on his fingers, leaped the fence
and asked the farmer to let him take
his scythe for awhile. The farmer gave
it up, and the stranger mowed vigor
ously for an hour or two, meanwhile
conversing with the farmer. The vol
unteer assistant was Joaquin Miller,
the poet of the Sierras, now staying in
that city.”* If this is not apocryphal,
we will forgive Joaquin for having
made himself absurd by his uncouth
eccentricities. A man who is not
ashamed of manual labor, and finds at
tractions in scythe-handles and “crap”
talk, is a sensible chap, and may be
pardoned for being a poet.
