Furniture Co. 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.

TASKS FOR BURDANK. _ I 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.
