LONGFELLOW'S FIRST POEM. Mr. Finney's Turnip. [Longfellow composed the following poem in half an hour, when only 9 years of age.] Mr. Finney had a turnip, And it grew, and it grew, And it grew behind the barn Ancl the turnip did no harm. And it grew, and it grew, Till it could grow no taller. Then Mr. Finney book it up And put it in the cellar. There it lay, there it lay, Till it began to rot, When his daughter Snide washed it And she put it in the pot. Then she boiled it and boiled it, As long as she was able, Then hie daughter Lizzie tools it And she put it on the table. Mr. Finney and his wife, Both sat down to sup, And they ate and they ate, Until they ate the turnip up. AT THE HOSPITAL WINDOW. Ain't the stars party Upthere in the sky ?

Bat I lava yet me a wiihy t ashy men that didn't land himself between the devil and the deep blue sea, and die with his feather. rattled up the wrong way. It pays to be straight goods and the same thing all the way through. Any man that of:.: p'.mn willin to etep out and take aides and piok hie flag and then stand to the gene till the cows come home, and the chickens fly tip to roost, and the avenin stars sing together, is probable to spend his days in vanity and vexation and wind up with a great fret. TOO MAUR FOB HIMSELF. About the most unhappiest and change- ful man that ever got his waebin done down in the old Panther Creek settle- ment was old man Drury Griffin, whish used to run a water mill a little ways below the oonflaonoe of that historic stream. Drnry was a middlin good farmer and the most bulliest sort of a mill man, and so fur as I know be always got along mighty well in regards to busi- ness and the fleeting things of thie vain world. But somehow he sever could get along smooth and easy with the Meech. Touchin the church and in religion Drury was jest simply too many for him- self. He always was a oburoh man to some extent, but be didn't have the etiokin and stayin qualities. Consequenti- ally he was forever flounderin and floppin around from the fire into the fryin pan and baok again. SAME THI50 IN POLITICS, Now old man Aeey Stribblin wag about as bad off in politics as Drury Griffin was with regards to hie religion. Old man dsey didn't have no trouble touobin the tphuroh, but when it oome to polities be was on the other side every time the oon• vention come to order. He started out in life as a soreamin democrat and stood on that puncheon for many years. But as time went on be took a fool notion to run for smog. He went in for high con- stable first, hot most of the votes went to the other man and the distance flag flut- tered down in Asey'0 facie. He next made the raoe for county coroner, and onoet more luok run from him like a shot and let the other man come under the wire first. Then presently Aeey Stribblin got siek and Bore. He mode out like eomebody had cheated him oaten what was his by rights. At the same time the onlyeet trouble with Amy was that be didu't get votes enough to put him in the office. What le so now was so then and always will be so. The 'maineet thing is the votes. Asey thought every blessed man that smiled at him and talked kind and pleasant to him was a Stfibblin man, and then when the veto didn't pan out like he had set the Jiggers down he let the sap run up and talked like a ellver. tongued idiot. He heard that old man Tommy Picicens voted for the other man after talkie like he !nought be for Strib• blfn, and from that he threatened to shoot Pialtene on eight. But right then if Aeey had started oat to shoot every man that tallied like he mought be for Stella. blinand then voted for the other man on election day, he would be busy with that largo and bloody job even to this good day and hour. Well, in the Pun of years, old man Aeey got so all•fired mad with the demo prate till he lit out and wont over to the whigs—which it oome to pass that the whigs didn't to say need hilt any worse than the democrats. Now Aaey Strib• blin wee a man like this. If he didn't see what he wanted ho would ask for it, and then if the gang he, was galiopin with didn't give it to him bo wouldn't gallop no More. If the party played hie way he would play, and if they didn't ile Wad ready sight then immediately to 5 THE BRUSSELS POST throw his band to the pack and gait the game. IIe soon quit the whims because they wouldn't give him anything in eight, and then presently bo turned out 40 be a wild end woolly know not :hill. He latuek to the know notbine till they went to pines, hut eomehow he never could get the scat of his breenlasa greased just exactly right eo he oould slide into a fab aloe. He Welted and he mesad, and he fumed and he fussed all the days of iris life, and Scally Dome to the pass where he w'nidn't vote for any livin man nn any ticket, And Amey Stribblin was yob on the Bunny side of sixty when he died. But at the some time he died for the good of his country__�- Crisp aryl. Casual.

TOBACCO Ountxa.—Chrletian Johnson, 01 ane idu 001., lrU..0,00 a 1. .;.30,:.0 Comity, has hie new tobaoao bleacher in order, and last week he put 1t in oper- ation. The bleacher building is 20x20 feet, and 20 feat high. It le perfectly air tight, being lined with eevoral thioknoseee of paper. The tobaoao ie hong up and two hot-air furnaces outside heat the place through large galvanized pipes at the temperature desired. At the proper time steam is turned into the building from a small boiler outside. The tobacco ie oared in three days and all is the same color. He has just completed a tobaaoo barn 120x20 feet, with ventilators on the roof and in the aides and will also con- vert a largo barn into a tobaaoo drier. He has arranged a tackling to hoist the tobaaoo into the loft by horse power. He had 22 sores of the I3nrley, General Grant and Conger varieties and all are an immense Drop. He has expanded be- tween $400 and $500 on the plant and expects to have a good return for hie out- lay, and from the enterprise displayed by hint he certainly deserves to succeed. Herman Brener, George Jonathan and John Wigle Have also erected tobacco bleachers. Never had Goofield South snob a tobacco orop as this year, and if the frost will bold off for a few days the crop will be safely harvested. Lewis Wigle says the tobacco crop of South Besea tinrobabi • to worth a year will about thrr yquarters of a million dollars. There is more tobacco grown this year in Essex than ever before, and if the weather holds favorable for a oonple of weeks longer the orop will bo well harvested. Some growers have already cut their orops. BIr. Wigle informs the News that the prioe will probably run from 0 to 10 cents a pound. He is of the opinion that the manufacturers of Canadian leaf tobacco aro deserving of encouragement and advises growers to sell to manu- facturers rather than to speculators. The manufacturer will get the crop on the market as speediily as possible, the speculator is likely to hold and so injure the price for the succeeding year. Mr. Wigle bas 6 acres of tobacco of hie own which be says will run about 1,000 or 1,200 pounds to the aore.
