be composed of l."2 jay delegates,
from 'V.l annual conferences, repro
seiil in-4,01 J travelling, o,S;." ItM-al
preachers, antl a lay membership of
S."i(l,Sll. In addition, there are live
bishops who-preside over the. body
.alternately. The Ceiieral Corifer--
AVe were playing in Hayana.JThe
same people go to the theatre every
night, and they demand eouatant
elianges in the bill. My
brother Tom was taken sick sudden
ly. His ladder was up in the dome
ready for "the leap for lire," "and
the ieople Ikegan to clamour to
have 'it done." 1 finally agreed to
do it. The feat consists, after the
terformanee of a variety of tricks
on the ladder, in swingiug yourself
into motion and jumping to a taut
rojie, running from a ceiling at an
incline to the wtngs. The jump
was a long one, anl the house was
very quiet wheu Ijliegan to swiug
preparatory to taking the leap.;
I threw myself ft the rojie, aiid
when I was in midlair, I Raw it- was
no go and that I wsU rtohe. I stt uek
out desiierattdy witji my feet, in the
hoe of helping mjself forward, but
I only rea'hed thf rope yiih the
tips of the finger with my left
hand. Both feet wiere extended in
sitreadeagle form, j if yon like. I
ought tohavelstruek the rojie with
lsith hands fairly" in tlie centre of
i i . i'
my body, with the pegs asro-8 the
line, so as to distribute the strain of
sustaining my weight over my whole
Isidy. As it was, ii all fell on my
left arm and my jody swept in
toward the rope like a whiplash.
Of course 1 let go, and theu I liegaii
to tui n spirall ; like"4 .corkscrew and
then go down, j I instantly realized
that I miust notj fall j nil spcad out,
I gathered my left . iltrm close inttf
my Ixsly, pushed my heail forward
and drew my legs together, strug4
gling to get into sliaie to fall on my
side. I did fall just that way forty
feet on a wooden stsige. My arm
was driven into my side and a rib
was broken. The sirm was shatter
ed ami I was laid up for many
- - ....
months. -
While I was gbidg" down in ah
instant 1 saw over again, as vivid
as life, every fall that I .ever wit
nessed. They came up in my mind,
one right after; another, like suc
c.essive flashes of lightning, and I
seemed to be experiencing all of
them in my own! person. But
worse, than every thingjelse a great
ileal worse than the sljjock of arriv
ing, was the terrible sliriek of agony
that went up from the audience.
It was like oneJ heartbreking wail,
of agony. T can hear it yet, and I
hear it every time I think of the.
accident. ' i
months. The ioem of 'The Reaper,
Death,' came without effort, craystal
listed into his uiind. 'The Light of
tlie Stars' was composed on a serem1
and beautiful summer evening, ex
atttly suggestive of the poem. The
Wreck of the Hesiierns' was written
the uigbt after a violent storm hail
occurred, and as the poet sat smok
ing his pipe the Hesems came sail
ing into his mind. He went to lied
but could not sleep, and wrote the
celebrated verses. It hardly caused
him an effort, but flowed on without
let or hindrance. On a summer after
noon in 1849, as he was riding on the
beach, 'The Skeleton in Armor' rose

as out ot the deep Wfore him and
would not be laid.
Sowing Corn for Fodder
There is nothing the farmer can

Longfellow's shorter poems is 'Excel
sior.' That one word hapjieiied to
catch his eye one autumn eve in 1841
on a torn piece of newspajier, and
straightway his imagination took fire
at it. Taking up a piece of pajier,
which happened to lie the back of a
letter received that day from Charles
Sumner, he crowded it with verses
As first writtcti down 'Excelsior' dif
fers from the jierfected and publish
ed version, but it shows a rush and
glow worthy of its author. The story
of 'Evangeline' was first suggested
to Hawthorne by a friend who wish,
ed him to found a romance on it.
Hawthorne did not quite coincide
with the idea, and .lie handed it over
to Longfellow, who saw in.it all the
elemeits of a deep ami tender idyl."
All his labors were congenial. He
had good health, cbmieteiice, troops
of friends and the foretaste of univer
sal fame. His home, the historic
headquarters of General Washing
ton, was all hat a man of taste or a
warm-hearted parent and -husband
could desire. But to this paradise
came-one terrible affliction in July,
1861. Mrs, Longfellow, while seated
at the library table amusing two o'
her children, accidentally touched a
piece of lighted pajier with her dress,
which was immediately in flames.
Mr. Longfellow sprang to her rescue
but she was so badly burned that she
died the next day. The poet visibly
aged under this grievous stroke. Of
this grief Mr. R. H. Stoddard, in
'Poets and their Homes,' writes:
"He lias known poignant sorrow
Death has entered his home aud ta
ken from it his dearest. That this,
a sorrow ever abiding, is one from
which, in a sense, he will never re
cover, the years have proved. His
melancholy is but dimly seen, like a
smoke curling upward from a blazing
fire. Yet it is present always, veil
ing his cheerfulness and saddening
uis smiles." i
"I never heard him make but one
allusion to the grept grief of his life,"
said ail intimate friend. "We were
shaking of Schiller's line jsieiii, 'The
Ring of Polycrates.' He said: 'It
"Was just so with me. I was too hap
py. I might fancy t he gods envied
if I could fancy heat lien gods."
The old 'Craigie House,' which was.
Mr. Longfellow's home in Cambridge,
was rich in associations. It. was.
built midway in the last century by a
gentleman of family antl distinction,
Colonel John Vassal, whose grave
stone in Cambridge liears uki, it a
sculptured goblet and a sun. After
the Revolutionary war the house was
sold to one Thomas Tracy, who ap
Iears to have been a sort of Ameri
can Vathek, emulating as far as jtos
sible in an uncongenial clime the
magnificent doings of the Eastern
Prince.' With the passing of his
wealth, clouds gathered about the
old house. We hear of it no more
until it came into the hands of the
last owner save one, Andrew Craigie.
The expenses it entailed ruined him.
Necessity obliged him to part with
all save eight of the 200 acres origi
nally included in the estate, ami after
his death Mrs. Craigie was, forced to
let lodging to the youth of Harvard

in ue longer you cau secure a knh!
supply of nubbins. I . prefer thick
sowing, as it shades the ground
more completely, and weeds have
no 'chancei at all to grow ; hence
there is no iieed at all of cultivating.
Cut' as sooit as it is all tasseted out
well, lay in biintlles until thoroughly
cured, and then shock up or haul
to your barn. If you have never
tried it,you will be astonished at the
quantity of fishier you can raise on
a small patch of ground. Besides
getting a -good;.. supply of fishier
chetiply, fanners will find this crop
a great help during Angust. When
pastures liegin to fail anil dry up,
and the supply of green finnl gets
short, you j can keep ; your stock
growing and ..improving 'all the time
by cutting aiid' feeding from j our
patch of fodder. We all know that
very often stock looses considerably
during the the. very hot days in
August, when the grass in the pas
tures'' gets short, anil that, too, when
it i.j most desirable to . keep them
growing. A: gtssl supply of green
corn grown in this way? will lie of
great ls'itetit at this time. It takes
but little ground ami little trouble
to give it a trial, ami we know from
exiierience that tried once, you will
never lie without' your natch of
fishier afterwards. -
