OLD POEM FOUND.
Vgtssg Attributed By Washington
Editor To Stonewall Jackson.
(Baltimore Sun.)
Mr. Abner Greenleaf, 6 4 years old.
216 West Lanvale street, president of
the Ottomar Mergenthaler Company,
while looking over a collection of rel?
ics gathered many years ago by his
father, the late Abner Greenleaf.
found in an old book a beautiful
poem attributed to Stonewall Jackson,
the title of which is "To My Depart?
ed Father."
The poem appears in one of the
Washington papers about February
4, 1886. Mr. Greenleafs father was
born In New Hampshire, and at one
time defeated Daniel Webster for the
State Senate in a close and hard cam?
paign. He spent the greater part of
his life In Washington. He died in
?hls city.
The poem and the criticism of the
editor of the paper in which it ap?
peared follow:
To My Departed Fattier.
The following beautiful verses were
written by the celebrated "Stonewall"
Jackson. They breathe the very es?
sence of poetry. No person of taste
can read them without being moved
by the genuine filial affection, so ten?
derly expressed by the highly gifted
author, while the heart Is touched with
sympathy by the mournful strain. The
smooth diction and the charming mel?
ody of the stanzas fall like melting
music on the ear, while the imagina?
tion is stirred by the striking and im?
pressive imagery of the poem, the
commencement of whloh is so wierd
Uke that it fills the mind with awe
and admiration. How truthful and
striking are the two last lines of the
second stanza! Mark how tenderly
the poet refers to his bereaved moth?
er:
Torn like the vine whose tendrils
curled
More closely round the falling tree.
There Is not in the whole range of
poetical literature a more beautiful
couplet than this. How sublime are
the closing lines! Had the great war?
rior written but this poem alone It
would have stamped him as a gen
lulne poet, and proved to the world
that men of the finest sensibilities are
capable of great personal bravery,
and can wield a sublimer influence on
the battle field than those who are
prompted to action by mere animal
courage.
As the the tmbsri On the hi arth
And o'er the floor \h* ihadOWl
fall.
And creeps ihe chirping crK k*it
iOl Ui,
And ticks the death-watch on the
wall,
I see a form In yonder chair,
That grows beneath the waning
light.
There are the wan, sad features?
there
The pallied brow, and locks of
white.
My father! when they laid thee
down
And heap'd the clay upon thy
breast,
And left thee sleeping all alone,
Upon thy narrow couch of rest;
I know not why I could not weep,
The soothing drops refused to
roll.
And oh! that grief is wild and deep
Which settles tearless on the soul.
But when I saw thy vacant chair,
Thine idle hat upon the wall,
The book?the pencll'd passage?
where
Thine eye had rest* 1 last of all;
The tree beneath w..jse friendly
shade
Thy trembling feet had wand-T'd
forth,
The very prints those feet had made
When last they feebly trod the
earth.
I thought while countless ages fled
Thy vacant chair would vacant
stand.
Unworn thy hat. thy book unread,
Kffarf' l thy footsteps from the
sand;
um widow's* in this cheerless world
The heart that gave its love to
thee,
Torn like the vine whose tendrils
curled
More Closely round the falling
tfOS.
<> father, then f..r her and thee,
OuSh'd madly forth the Scalding
tea rs,
Atel oft. and long, an-l bitterly.
Those tears have guah'd in later
years;
For as the world grows cold around,
Arid things, gssnnts their own real
hue,
Tli and to find that l >\s Ii found
Ah.ne above the stars with you.

TASKS FOR BURDANK.

How the Plant Wizard Might Help
Humanity.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Luther Burbank, the wizard of
plant life, has. it seems, perfected a
new p"ppy, ot' titanic dimensions and
brilliantly variegated coloring, togeth?
er with a primrose of vestal white?
ness 5 Inches In diameter. He has
proved that he can do almost any?
thing with plants and flowers. It has
been suggested that he might devote
his energies to producing a bachelor's
button that can be sewed on so that
it w on't I come off, and a sage brush
to go with the coxcomb. But there
are a great many other horticultural
needs to which he ought to devote his
attention. Some persons are urging
Burbank to give them a cantaloupe
without seeds, and odorless onions.
Those who have become disaffect?
ed with the new-fangled breakfast ce?
reals want Burbank to devise a
mushroom that Will yield a superior
grade of mush, and they hope that
by crossing lemons and watermelons
a plant may be evolved that will con?
tain lemonade, just as some varieties I
of cactus are reservoirs of water.
They fully expect that by grafting ap?
ples on pine trees he can produce
pineapples, and they look to him with
confidence to get prunes by properly
pruning the hedges. But while ev?
erybody wishes Burbank would give
them the best kind of thyme, some
people wish the thyme were shorter
and others want it longer. Others
object to Burbank's activities in gen?
eral, on the ground that he is a graf?
ter. It is impossible to please every
one.
The Favorite War.
In a sporting resort in the east end
of London a popular Irish pugilist was
matched against a burly clever ne?
gro. The Irishman was a hot favorite,
and his friends bet heavily that he
would whip his colored opponent. The
referee was also an Irishman, and
when in the first round the negro
reached the Irish fighter's jaw and the
latter's head thumped the boards with
a crash that seemed to preclude fur?
ther contest the following monologue
by the referee as he stood over the fal?
len favorite, counting the seconds,
took place:
"One!" (In an undertone to hl?
gasping c< mpatriot. "Come on, man.
get out o that. Are ez g in to let
this idar k son of Ham say he knock?
ed yog out?)
"Two: ?V> irrah, mat., can't
raise yourself and listen to what I'm
tellin' yez? Come on; get up!)
"Three! (For the sake of yer
father that bled on many a field get
up and wipe up the floor with this
black smoke that's grinnln* r*t yez!)
"Four! (An' sure are yez goin' to
lie there slapln* while this limb of
Satan takes all the money? Get up,
I say, afore I pull yez up!"
This sort of entreaty continued un?
til, as the disgusted referee lingered
on the final count, the badly dazed
Irish pugilist staggered to his feet,
swung widely at the unguarded negro
and bowled him over unexpectedly.
Quick as a flash the ever ready ref?
eree sprang to the prostrate colored
man, who, though dazed and weak,
was wildly struggling to regain his
feet, and counted: .
"One, two, three, four, five and
five is ten! You're out, you naygur!"
?"It cured me." or "It saved the
life of my child," are the expressions
you hear every day about Chamber?
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. This Is true the world over
where this valuable remedy has been
introduced. No other medicine in use
for diarrhoea or bowel complaints has
received such general approval. The
secret of the success of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
Is that it cures. Sold by W. W. Slbert.

State of New York 1
County of Monroe ) 33
Rochester, N. Y.
Nancy A. Hcrrick, being duly sworn, deposes and says: When
I was a girl, I had a head cf Lcavy, long, dark brown hair which
was the envy of my schoolmates, and which attracted the atten?
tion and remarks of strangers. As I grew older, my hair com?
menced to come out, just a little at first, but gradually more and
more, and then be;;.an to turn gray. I was induced by the many
good reports I had heard of Y.'yeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy to try a bottle. My hair was quite thin and gray when
I began using Sage and Sulphur, and you can imagine my satis?
faction when I found that it was fa>t coming back to its natural
condition, being thicker, darker and more glossy than it had been
for a long time. I continued to use Sage and Sulphur, and my
hair is now as heavy, dark and smooth as when I was a girl of
sixteen. It is now four years since 1 commenced using Sage and
Sulphur, and my hair is still in splendid condition.
