The Poet Longfellow. Mr. Longfellow, almost immediately after his graduation, was appointed Professor of Modern languages and Literature in Bowdoin College, and entered upon his duties at Brunswick in 1830. Here he lived and taught and wrote for five years. Here was the home to which he brought from his native city the wife of his early manhood, the "Being Beauteous" of the poem entitled "The Footsteps of Angels," of whom he writes: "With a slow and noiseless footstep Comes that messenger divine, Takes the vacant chair beside me, Lays her gentle hand in mine." She was a lovely lady of peculiarly quiet movements in life, and by the power of that thought which brings presence, the bereaved heart could feel and the longing eyes could see the soundless entrance of the sweet phantom form. In the old home and in the unchanged room whence he had watched— "The lights of the village Glam through the rain and the mist." Longfellow lingered, after his class-day anniversary, with the memories of fifty years for his companions? Healing comes with time to wounds that are all but mortal. God has, with tender mercy, implanted that in our nature which enables us to renew all pure affections and all legitimate ties. The love of Mr. Longfellow's maturer years sprang up in a heart enriched by the experience of his first great sorrow. The lady who became his second wife, and the mother of his children, was Miss Appleton, of Boston, the Mary Ashburton of "Hyperion," "possessing," says a friend who knew her well, "all the grace and dignity ascribed to her." She is said to have been the original of the well-known and favorite picture of "Evangeline." She was remarkable for qualities not often united in the same person. With a stately presence and almost regal manner toward strangers whom she met on terms of perfect equality, she was singularly considerate of those who were dependent upon her. Alas for the chances and changes of this mortal state! Again was the poet's home made desolate by death, although in the later bereavement caressing children linked the happy past with the mournful present. The manner in which he bore this sore affliction is told with tender truthfulness in the following stanza from a poem addressed to him on a birthday by his friend, James Parson Dodge. A REMINISCENCE. Many of the early residents can remember singular character who, in the year 1852, represented this city and county in the Senate at Benicia. This eccentric being was one of the old-time politicians of Arkansas, and as he rejoiced in the possession of a single-breasted coat, the "boys" with whom he "travelt" dubbed him "Parson Dodge." He was a short man, thin as a waifer, with a red nose and a horrid scar down one cheek, which Ned McGowan gave him as a memento of a "stag fight" at the Bank Exchange. As an orator, he was not particularly brilliant, though his style was original, from the dialect with which he was wont to interlard his discourses. One night it chanced that the boys were sitting down to a game of "poker" in a room over the old Bella Union, when Judge Bagley, who was ever on the pitch for sport, says to the Parson: "Dodge,' spose we run you for Senator?" It's a whack!" rejoined the Parson; but how kin you do it. Easy enough," roplief the Judge. I've euchred Bill Gaspit the old Speaker, out of a clean thousand, and I guess that'll more than secure the county." By thunder, Judge," cries the Parson, "you are an original cuss; fire away, and if I ain't coppered, you boys will strike a big lead." So they shook hands on the issue, and after taking a "tot" went on with the game. To cut the matter short, the boys "bought up the county," and the Parson became a Senator. I recollect the day on which he delivered his maiden speech. It was on a bill to "prevent women from wearing low-necked dresses." Gaspit. his implacable enemy, had raised the "previous question," but the Parson--I use his pet name—scorning all opposition, boldly walked to the Speaker's desk, and fixing a look of disdain upon his foe, cried: "Boys I'm with you!" A cheer interrupted him; when it ceased, he continued: "Mr. President and Senators—I come before you to-day under raysther untoward circumstances. I have traveled a long ways on the Plains, amongst Injuns, black snakes, squaws and howling papooses, not counting the muskeeters, rough living, want of female society, and other things calculated to make life unpleasant.

The Pittsburgh (Pa.) Dispatch says: Three ministers sat in the pulpit of East Liberty Church on Sunday evening. A rising young artist who has a comfortable studio—if studios are ever comfortable—on a street running from Water to Liberty, who is one of the workers in said church, walked bravely to the pulpit before service and gave one of the ministers a notice to read before benediction. The services were about being closed, when the young artist again went forward and reminded the minister that he must not forget the notice of the temperance meeting down town. The minister begged pardon for his remissness, took the slip of paper from his vest pocket, read it, looked dazed, rubbed his eyes, then smiled. He passed the note to a brother minister. He smiled. Then passed it to the other minister, and he smiled. Then all smiled. Then No. 1 remarked that he would like to speak to the young artist. The latter advanced to the pulpit, received the notice, looked at it, colored very red, and looked as though he would like to jump through the window. He had given the pastor a notice of a temperance meeting which read something like this: DEAR JOHN:—I am sorry I can't let you come to see me as frequently as usual, but papa and mamma think I should not receive even my very dear friends during the Lenten season. It's awfully disagreeable, if not positively cruel; but then you know we Episcopalians can's go back on Lent. I shall see you oftener than usual, I hope, when the holy season is gone where the woodbine twineth. Yours, with friendship, Josh Billings' Philosophy. Kindness iz never wholly wasted, but when you are dealing with mules, alwus keep yure eye on their heels. Sum men's humor iz like dried apples.—Answer, in our next. Almost every boddy haz a hobby ov sum kind to ride. Thare iz nothing so easy to mount, and oft-times thare iz nothing that unmounts mutch easier. Give me honesty fust, and after that enny thing yu please. Remarkable for qualities not united in the same person. With a stately presence and almost regal manner toward strangers whom she met on terms of perfect equality, she was singularly considerate of those who were dependent upon her. Alas for the chances and changes of this mortal state! Again was the poet's home made desolate by death, although in the later bereavement saring children linked the happy past with the mournful present. The manner in which he bore this sore affliction is told with tender truthfulness in the following stanza from a poem addressed to him on a birthday by his friend, James Russell Lowell: "Some suck up poison from a sorrow's core. As nought but mightade grew upon earth's ground; Love turned all his heartsease, and the more Fate tried his bastions she but found a door Leading to sweeter manhood and more sound." —Boston Commonwealth. A cheer interrupted him; when it ceased, he continued: Mr. President and Senators—I come afore you to-day under rayther untoward circumstances. I have traveled a long ways on the Plains, amongst In juns, black snakes, squaws and howling papooses, not counting the muskeeters, rough living, want of female society, and other things calculated to make life unpleasant. But I warn't afeered—I hed the Lord to lead me in pleasant pastures, Watts' him's in my trowsers, and a big telescope rifle that would carry ninety paces, sure. Nevertheless, I'm comforted to find myself in this position, for I hed a mind to view, like Moses, the goodly of Beneshee: "Thar is a spot of sweet delight, Whar hevingly joys abound; No homely gale provokes the sight; But dollyars slosh around." Then, says I, where kin this place be: "This place jines to a narrow strait, Far from the rocking sea. The Capital of this yere State— Tis known as Beneshee." A salvo of applause prevented his proceeding. It ceased, and he continued: "Yes, my hearers, I love Beneshee, roosting like a young crower on her innumerable perches, she is the corn-bin of Cornucopee, whose inexhaustible horn pours down continual jewleps on her thirsty bosom (cheers). Happy men of Beneshee! Happy weemen of Beneshee! Nature hath clothed your hills with oats to save you the trouble of sowing 'em. I am down on this yere bill, for if a woman has a good shape, if she's willin', I'm willin' she should show it. Nature is always pleasing when unveiled. Therefore, I say don't pass a law against low-necked dresses—for if you do nature will be veiled, and then burn me, if she's near so pleasing. As a Senator, I oppose its passage—but as a man, I'm chain-lightning on low-necked dresses." A voice in the galleries—"Augh, ye wicked old villain!" Had a bomb-shell burress in the chamber, it could not have caused more consternation. All eyes were instantly riveted upon the disturber—a woman well known by the Senators. The Speaker was the first to regain his faculties, and, in a voice of thunder, roared—"Sergeant, put that woman out." "Put me out, will ye!" said she, unfurling her parasol. "I'd like to see ye do it. I know Mr. Dodge, the parson, and it makes me raving to hear him preach again low dresses, when only last night he was praisia' me"— Here a horse-laugh burst from all the "Honorables," and the "lady's" last sentence was unheard, but as the butt of the fun was evidently against the Parson, he burned and said: "Boys, I weaken—the old woman beats my heap; score my reckoning, and I'll find the swindle." The speaker nodded in assent, and a few minutes afterward the House took a "recess," Parson paying for the "refreshments." Of course the bill never passed, dut as a considerable sum of money changed hands, the Parson held a big trick in the game of "garb." Josh Billings' Philosophy. Kindness is never wholly wasted, but when you are dealing with mules, alwuss keep yure eye on their heels. Sum men's humor iz like dried apples.—Answer, in our next. Almost every boddy haz a hobby ov sum kind to ride. Thare iz nothing so easy to mount, and oft-times thare iz nothing that unmounts mutch easier. Give me honesty fust, and after that enny thing yu pleaze. Most ov the literary kriticks ov the day are thoze who hav failed in writ ing themselfs, therefore they hak, and stab, and murder without meroy. Fanaticks seldum undertake to prove their beleaf; they are satisfied to assert it. Men ov genius don't depend upon their memory; it iz easier for them to create a new idea than to recall an old one. Thare iz mutch the same difference between honor and honesty that thare iz between notoriety and reputashun. Honest poverty has this advantage, all it owes, it owes to Heaven, and don’t owe much there. All the vices are relations, none more remote than first cousins. To be a great man it iz not necessary that a man should be unlike others, but that he should allways be like himself. Industry, without economy, iz like a bag with a hole at the bottom of it. I never have yet heard ov a man becoming an infidel, or deserting Christianity on his death-bed. God haz made but few things impossible, certainly none that ought to be possible. The unthrifty are not only born so, but are fated to die so. I believe theres iz such a thing as a dishonest diffidence, also such a thing as an honest impudence. The man who acts from impulse generally acts right. I observe that those who know the most belieave the most, it don’t take but few branes to doubt and differ. Are you aware that the man who commits suicide by shooting himself with a pistol discharges his own debt o nature? Politeness by the Book. The school board of this city has resolved to add a course of lessons in etiquette to the regular curriculum of the public schools. Mannals of politeness are to be furnished, and some of the best readers will read aloud from these, the teacher following in a brief oral exposition with practice in the various branches. The studies in etiquette are to cover a wide range. General precepts are to be particularized into such details as dress, carriage and bearing, conversation, table-manners, riding and driving, school-deportment and the rules of behavior laid down by George Washington. There can hardly be a more enlarged field for study and practice than this involves; nor is there any field of education in which there is greater scope for the ingenuity of the urbane teacher. Much depends on the teacher, and far more on the matter of her instruction. A teacher who undertakes to "hear a recitation" in politeness, after the wooden manner in which a large proportion of the recitations are "heard," will make the thing intensely ridiculous. An acidulous person whose habit is to enforce lessons by scolding them into the children will make their victims hate politeness and despise the very name of it. The instructor who drills the classes in the more observances of polite forms and phrases may succeed in rescuing the scholars from the extremity of boorishness, but will fail in imparting to them any of the graces of genuine good breeding. The teacher whose custom it is to bark and bite at the poor children in order to drive instruction into their unwilling minds will find himself a laughing-stock as he reads off from his politeness-book some unpleasant injunction to courteous demeanor. There is a great deal of so-called politeness which is only of the book, bookish. It is stilted, empty, formal and unsatisfactory. It is well that children speak when they are spoken to, do as they are bidden, salute their betters in an elegant manner, keep their persons clean and do unto others as they would have others do to them. But the mechanical ritual of all these things may be made a continual horror. Some teachers and parents keep children in a constant state of worry by saying, as they tweak the ears of the poor creatures or with the knuckles rap them on the head: "Sit up, there!" or "Behave now, will you?" Many otherwise excellent people introduce this sort of etiquette-drill at the table, until the rigorous way in which please." Consumption Cured. An old physician retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure for Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radical cure for General Difficulty and all Nervous Complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows.

A few months ago an eminent physician who had tested the remarkable curative qualities of Phosphate Soap for various skin diseases expressed his belief that it would be an excellent remedy for Poison Oak. It was accordingly tested for this purpose. A boy had been so badly poisoned as to be confined to his bed for a week, and had his hands all covered with sores when he began to use Phosphate Soap. Within twenty-four hours he was greatly relieved and in a few days was entirely cured of Poison Oak by the use of Phosphate Soap. Montreal Heard From. R.L.

Into it I walked through a street so narrow I could span it with two steps, between houses so lofty that the narrow strip of sky was almost lost, dwindling to a ribbon of blue with here and there a star looking brighter than with us at home. Houses whose lofty stories mounted 100 feet before they combed over into the graceful cornices. A street that led up, up, like a stair, with pavement slippery with damp, the polish of many feet and age, till, in a while I turned suddenly into a wider street, brilliant with gas-light and bordered with marble palaces whose carved fronts stretched along the way, on either side, for miles. Great facades with lofty portals of sculptured marbles opening into vestibules of columns, church-like in size and height—these opening into grand courts still richer in colonnades and magnificent with royal stairways all white, all marble, all cold, all still, as if the life that had ebbed and flowed in those courts had gone, as if the pride that had reared these piles had vanished, as if the riches that had spent itself in these palaces had been buried, as if these dwellings were inhabited now only by the ghosts of their former owners which might walk by night, but at daybreak would stiffen into the statues standing here and there so cold and unassistable, and unsatisfactory. Children speak when they are spoken to, do as they are bidden, salute their betters in an elegant manner, keep their persons clean and do unto others as they would have others do to them.

Some teachers and parents keep children in a constant state of worry by saying, as they tweak the ears of the poor creatures or with the knuckles rap them on the head: "Sit up, there!" or "Behave now, will you?" Many otherwise excellent people introduce this sort of etiquette-drill at the table, until the rigorous way in which the lambs are made to bleat out "please" and "thank you" is enough to destroy the appetite of anybody who practices and values true poiteness. Success or failure in teaching politeness depends on whether the teacher is or is not polite than on the particular manual of etiquette which a school board may select. There are fine arts and true graces in real politeness which some boors can never master. There is a refinement and an elegance in it which is inborn with many people. If instruction in the art is attempted with the right spirit and by the proper sort of people there is hope that it may be measurably successful. But there are some crusty and ill-favored imparters of instruction who should forever be excused from all attempts at teaching the doctrines or practices of etiquette. Philadelphia Times.

A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of children; good for the teeth; produces a soft, creamy lather; nicely adapted to shaving or shampooing; removes dandruff, and gives health to the scalp without injuring the hair. Not only for daily use on the face and hands, but for bathing the entire body, there is nothing equal to PHOSPHATE SOAP. It is a thorough disinfectant and removes offensive odors of every kind. Cheap toilet soaps manufactured from rancid and refuse grease injure the skin and are really more expensive than PHOSPHATE SOAP, which retails for 25 cents per cake. If you wish to make your hands soft buy a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP, and when that is gone you will buy a dozen and recommend your friends to do the same. For all diseases of the skin use PHOSPHATE SOAP. There is nothing like it for removing impurities and giving the skin a healthy and natural vigor. For chapped hands the constant use of PHOSPHATE SOAP will be recommended by all who give it one fair trial. TESTIMONIALS.

DOUGLASS, M.D., 126 O'Farrell St. To the Standard Soap Company. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19, 1897. Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: The ladies of my household, four in number, unite with me in pronouncing your PHOSPHATE SOAP the best ever tried for toilet use. It is noticeable that while it readily removes impurities from the skin, it also leaves undisturbed the natural oil so essential to the health. It is not too strong language to say that we are delighted with it. C.M.SAWTELLE, M.D., 120 Capp street. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19, 1897. Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: I have tried your PHOSPHATE SOAP, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the best toilet soap ever used. My wife has used it and is of the same opinion. I have paid as high as fifty cents per cake for an article in every respect inferior to what you sell for twenty-five cents. HENRY H. LYNCH, 515 Haight street. OAKLAND, CA., Aug. 1, 1874. Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: We have been giving your PHOSPHATE SOAP a pretty fair trial, and we like it the best of any soap for toilet use that we have found on this Coast. We have little doubt that it will meet with universal favor. MRS.R.B.JOHNSTON, 1016 Kirkham street. The genuine merits of PHOSPHATE SOAP and persistent advertising will force every druggist, groceryman and general dealer to order it by the gross sooner or later. Ask for it in every store. The retail price is 25 cents per cake. We wish to sell it only as wholesale, but in case you cannot find it we will send a nice box of three cakes by mail, postage paid, on receipt of 85 cents in stamps. STANDARD SOAP CO..
