DAN PLUE'S STORY.
, BY ED WARD EGGLESTON.
It was not often that a gentleman
of culture and a lawyer in success -
furl practice commanded an .Ohio
_River flat boat, but Mr Churchill
, was out of health, and So; taking his
7 brilliant nephew, Dudley Charchill,
along for company, he embarked on
- •• the boat which was to float the pro-
duce of his farm to New. Orleans. "
It was Saturday night, and kr.
i Oharchill; being.a scruptilotts than,
would not let hie boat float on Sun-
•. day; so she was madefast. in a
secyre landing place, her long,
• sweeping oars, each of which took
four men to swing, were folded at
-
her side, and. the rough 'Hoosier
crew set the selves about finding
Rome amuserne/at for
the. idle day t at was to follow- The
he eveniregand
•t
river was falling fast, and Bip. Mc-
Kay, tbe good-natured champion of
his - county, was ordered to stend
watch fer the first half of the -night,
1 lest the tioat should ground. With
a rueful- countenance, the burly
'ant elimbed- the stair-wiy sorry

hear the yarns Which only a flat -boat
cabin ever heart. , .
'Come Dee ! tell-usi a: gory,' said
.Dudley Churchill, who epjoyed no -
'.thing so atuch as the society of the
rough lianias, with their fresh or-
iginality of C-haricter and their rude

Dan eiP Pluwho was addressed,
looked up Slowly. '1 don't think
.
of no story.: But ef you'd -like fo
hear a 'little scientific *fact with a

'must relate somethin' of that sort.' _

for Sunday morning.' . 0
' Psliawl,Dan, tell it for me,' said.
Dudley. '1 ani prepared to believe
* every mett..el yoti say; and to -profit.
by the Moral of the story.'
` Well, it's a right smart story to

The Frst Efforts of Great Poet.
How William Lloyd Garrison
came to find out, forty years ago,
John G. Whittier, and how Whit -
tier's poetical career was dev4oped,
is thus narrated by a eentlemaa who
knows the facts. Affe Garrison was,
then editing a weekly paper n bis

the other 'was at work on his father's
faim in Eas6 Haverhill, and was nn -

Garrison picked up from the floor of
his office "eiitiar poetical effusion,
weitten on coarse paper, and with

that.it was a common doggerel, he
