OLD YEAR CELEBRITIES No- 3. Longfellow: the People's Poet. For The Commonwealth. In the early years of the present entury two sprightly youths might be seen together at Bowdoin College, in the old forest-covered State of Maine, putting down stepping stones on which to "rise to higher things." The one was destined at an early age to reach the heart of the people ; the other was fated for many years to t-e 'the obscurest man of letters in America." One sought his position by courting the Muse: the other slowly climbed to the seat of the gods by the unmeasured steps of prose. One was Nathaniel Hawthorne, the greatest master of artistic fame in American prose ; the other was Henry Wodsworth Longfellow, the sweetest singer in American verse. Longfellow is essentially the peo ple's poet, and as such is more wide ly known than any of his contempo raries on the same soil. Every cul tivated American is familiar with his writings. He is the poet of the peo pie just as Emerson is the poet of the iltteruteure. And this fact increases the difficulty of saying anything new about him. Who has not beer, inspir .ed by the devotion of Evangeline or been led to admire the constancy of her lover ? V ho has not sung with Longfellow the song of Hiawatba and had his sympathies with the red man enkindled afresh ? What maiden has not looived into tltt curious affair of the courtship of Miles Standish ? What pilgrim beyond the sea has cot looked with the poet's eye3 on the face of the old world as it is reflected in his Outre Mer ? Who lias not felt the truth and seen the beauty of aPsalm of L'fe, as he goes on from day today singing, ; "Heart within, and God e 'er head?" Who has not learned from the Vill lage Blacksmith, as well as from actual experience, 'That at the flaming forge of life Our fortunes must be wrought, Thus on the sounding anvil shaped Each burning deed and thought?" Nor is the popularity of Longfel- ow confined to his own country He is a tavonte wherever the English anguage is spoken, and far beyond. His poems are read and admired b the Russian in his native tongue. Every well-bred Italian is familiar with his writings. His "Excelsior" has been rendered into their language in almost a hundred different forms. Evangeline they read with deepest Hinouon. in mat conntrv ne reierns without a rival in the American brotherhood. Others, to be sure, are admired, but not loud as he. His death was lamented bv the Italian people as a personal affliction. There was something in his snirit that found a hearty response in the hearts ui tuai UttMQn. Ureat as is his popularity both here and across the waters. Lonsfel low, we have the audacity to say, is noi a great genius, He does not de scend to the deep and bring up the uuieiu ana undiscovered, lie is not, an originator of new creations. He has added few new ideas to the treas opy ot human knowledge. His trans ituu9, oi wmcn ue nas made manv i from nearly all t&e modern languages. are literal renderings. In this he shows skill rather than genius. He gives us Dante by turning the Italian into the English word with which it corresponds. lie does not get far enough to enter into and reproduce the conceptions of that great sounder of human and divine things. His gnius isnot creative andcoostructive. Whence then his power and influ ence ? To answer this question we must look at him in that phase of his character and his work by which he lias endeared himself to us more than lies in the power of mere genius to do. It is by saying for us what we could not sav for ourselves, confirm ing our secret thoughts, by singing to us those stints that in some way seem familiar to us, that he has made us feel as if we belong to the same brotherhood of which he is a member. We love him because he inspires this kindred feeling ; and we admire him because tuis is sustained by the puri ty of the mau and his writings. For whatever charges may be brought him, no oue can claim that he has ever given utterance to an impure sentiment or thought that would soil the language in which he wrote. And behind his words is something better than anything he has ever said. One who knew him well has added this testimony; "Beautiful and ample as the expression of himself was. it fell short of the truth. The man was more and better than the noet " And we venture the belief that, if the poet is to live in the memories of men, in this will his im mortality consist. . Longfellow is asentimeff';,. but his is that sentiment which is healthr and refreshing. It is such as all human hearts feel, or ought to feel, and such as sweetens the nature of man and helps him to an atmosphere of the ideal while he bravely rights with actual foes. His sentiment is a uni versal element of a common humani ty. It i3 by reason of this that bis sympathies are broad and he thus finds way to all hearts. He strikes a cord that is set to music in the in struraent of every human soul ; but it is not the music that overpowers us with awe from a mighty hand or leads us to forget the player in the sublime strains of an original per former. It is rather the sweet, mel low notes of the nightingale that come to us when the air and our hearts are still. There qualities blending into harmony constitute first the per son ality of the poet before they are transmitted into his poetry. Indeed his verse is a medium through which the poet himself b-eathes and speaks. It is, I repeat, on his ability to ex press what all have felt and could not utter that his popularity rests. This is not original conception so much as the fruits of a sympathetic nature, endowed with the faculty of utterance. With what intuitive ap preciation does he seize on those uni versal longings that are attributes of every human soul ! "O glorious thought ! that lifts me above the pow er of time and chance and tells me that I cannot pass awav, and leave no mark of my existence. 1 may not know the purpose of my being, the end for which on all-wise Providence created me as 1 am and placed me where I am ; but I do know for in such things faith is knowledge that my being has a purpose ia the omnis cience of my Creator, and that all my actions tend td the completion, to the full accomplishment of that purpose. Is this fatality ? No. I feel that I in free, though an infinite and an nvisible power overrules me, 'To go through life unloving and unlov- id ! o feel that thirst and hunger of the soul We cannot still : that longing, that wild impulse, And struggle after something we have not Ana cannot have j these are the chords on which be loves to play and to whose strains he finds sympathetic listeners W e love his poetry because he has nit into it so rnqch pf the goodness of bis nature. It is this quiet, moral tone of his writing by which he is to be remembered not for his genius. On returning from hjs funev4l, where Emerson was one of the most deeply affected mourners, the latter remark ed that, "the gentleman whose Inner al we have just attended was a sweet and beautiful soul blt I have tar gotten his name," The memory of the philosopher was impaired b age and he himself was soon to follow to the quiet shades where slept his poet companion, but a consciousness o tne "sweet and Deauttful soul" was still present with him. So it must be with all. When the time shal a 1 a come mat we are unaoie to assign any reason ior our iaitn in him, we shall still believe in the moral force of such a "sweet and beautiful 8uI.,, When bi flange shall be erased from memory's tablet, there will remain a consciousness that Longfellow lived and of the words spoken or written about him these will be the last to die, both because they were uttered by Emerson and because they are fittest symbols of the idea that lives in the minds of those who loved, biffi, The' are destined, tq bQ aeiated with him aa the words '"sweetness and light" are fixed to Matthew Ar nold, and in a much truer sense. OUR LOUISYILLE LETTER. For The Commonwealth. Louisville is the chief city of Ky., situated upon the south bank of the Ohio River, at about the middle of the northern boundary of the State. Just across the river, which is about J of a mile wide here, is Jefferson ville, Indiana, a city of about 20.000 inhabitants. Louisville is permanent ly a beautiful and delightful city in the Summer, and equally as ugly and disagreeable in Winter. The first characteristic which ati tracted the attention of your corres pondent was the beauty and magnifi cence of the private residences, which adorn its wide and cleanly kept streets. The most pleasing feature of their beauty was given by a sward of rich, green, velvety grass before each house, trimmed close, and in contrast with the white l.me stone or marble wall's, making the approach ' to the ho ise. a delight fully cool and refreshing picture. This was its appearance last August, but alas ! that old Father Time does play such havoc with all things of beauty, lhe dense, black smoke and constant shower of soot which envelops the city all Winter has re moved almost every vestige of its Summer beauty. In speaking of the fine houses here a gentleman resident told me it was characteristic of the place, that a man worth $40,000 would invest $20,000 of it on his residence. A good idea too, in my opinion, for if wealth is not to be en joyed at home what is its object ? 1 ills- itv is of very considerable size and importance, as it numbers 50.000 inhabitants and stands the first market in the world in Kfe in- ustries whiskey, leaf tobacco ami eather. It does also an. immense trade in pork,grain and manufactories generally. It is also, as may be supposed, a Railroad centre ot no inconsiderable importance, there being no less than 108 passenger trains which come and go out of the lty daily. This does not include reight trains, whiih are numerous. Quite a considerable amount of traffic is carried oi by boat also Irom this place steamers leaving every day for e ery town of importance ou the Ohio and Mississppi ; as well as the tributaries. The population, as is the case with all western cities, contains a large element of foreigners, principally rish and German. The Germans are particularly numerous and. pros perous here, and are considered by the people here a very desirable class of citizens. A German element is just what North Carolina needs. Why this country, possessing no natural advantages over Nrth Caro- ina hardly its equal, should have beea selected by them in preference to North Carolina, is inexplicable to me. I can see, however, why such people will continue to prefer this country, for it means to exemplify in the near future the energy and progressive spirit which has aided so materially in building up its present prosperity and importance, I refer to the cotton Exposition, which is to be held here in the Fall ot this year, or which object already $234,000 have been subscribed hy the citizens LoujsvUle. $400,000 is the sum fixed upon by the Directors, and there is not the least doubt but that will be forthcoming in the near future. Already plana and specifica tions for a building, modeled on the Main Building of the Paris Exposi sition, have been decided upon, the lot purchased and contract is to be given immediately. ine proposea building will cover 15 acres of groundLLet me eaineauy beg of the eoDle so biindV to miss tf ing to I State po excellen attentioi UP4eyeh and ve; lain don AnothJ progress natives I attentioi i i I ' a the lawvfefsTjust at this time.

It aminounts, so far, to something over $175,000, and the probabilities are that it will reach a quarter of a million I There is still another peculiarity to be met witn tn a certain class of citizens, here, l his, also, I Uupe, will not be imitated in Novth Carolina. The peculiarity re terred to is termed "slugging" it has recently developed into one of the fine arts, and is. yTy popular here. It's, au a.rt, moreover, not dif ficult to learn, the main essentials consisting of merely an old sock with rock in it, a darfc ftighfc and an unsuspecting foot-pause ager. Not a nisht within the past three or four weeks but that' will average at least one of these attacks and robberies on the public streets of the city of T m.iav UIp The uolice authorities . . . V ftft 4&iSg tutiif njftnrt put an end to it, but although several arrests have been made and the guilty severely punished,no effect other than an increase in their depredations seems to have been made upon the "sluggers." Louisville, with a'l these disadvantages of smoke, sluggers and defaulters, is a delightful city. In the words of a citizen of vour town, it is "the finest city in Ameri ca. Hospitality, such as is seldom met with outside of North Carolina, is invariably extended to strangers, and the social culture and refinement to be found here is not exceeded even in the Old North State. This letter, Mr. Editor, I intend as rather preparatory to my next than interesting in itself. I wish to familiarize your readers with the sali ent points in order to make the minute details, which will fill my next, the more interesting and instructive. N. C." PUNCTUALITY. BY REV. DR. DEEMS. Among the minor immoralities a want of punctuality is usually rank ed. That it is an immorality, there can be no doubt. The only question is. whether it should be ranked among the sins of the less venal kind, and whether, in calling it minor, we do not mitigate a very giave offence. Certainly, punctuality is among the very high virtues. It shows moral discrimination and exactitude. It shows that its possessor is intent upon securing every punctura arising from a clean habit of mind, and pure state of the heart, and a healthy con- dition of the will, wnich enables a man to hold himself rigidly tonisen- (gagements. ITnpunctuality shows a regardless- ness of other people's property and other people's feeliilgs which cannot exist in the heart of u -'nan who is high-minded, intelligent, and a conse- m . a . 1 1 'i., MSI proTon iipianfin. in nil ki ikn.x uv matter what mav be a man's other Miinlif i if Via Ya nnf Till t"Wt.n 51 1 ,i his affairs are likely to go into dis order, It is so in every other depart ment. There is a lack of moral sense at the bottom of this vice. Why should not a man who is care less of his engagements, also become careless of the truth ? In other words, is not his want of punctuality ! a weakening of his veracity ? What is to prevent a man who is habitually unpunctual from becoming a thief ? lie has no regard for the time of other men, why should he have for their money? What is the differ ence between taking a man s hour and takiag his five dollars ? There are verv many men in the communi ty, to whom each hour or the busi ness day is worth more than five dol- j lars. Why should six gentlemen be kept waiting ten minutes for me, aud thus the aggregate of an hour be wasted out of business life ? Why should their business be jeopardized br my carelessness ? It is no apology for one to say, that he does not intend to do harm, that it is a mere careless habit into whioh he has fallen, that otner men show the same. It is not that he wishes to give pain and inconven ience to the rightful owner by taking away his propetry. Thieves are not general malignant ; they are simply unpunctual; they do not make a point of the vneum, or of the tuum. They just carelessly but property in the wrong place, as an unpunctual person puts time in the wrong place. Should not all our moral teachers begin to impress this upon society ? It is time that unpunctual people have tbi'ir consciences aroused, and be brought to teel they considered wholly moral e careles as to their en- hjj, ien minutes uctj ui n a minute too late for the cause widespread distress. en cause aeatn. i n sucn khe careless dealer of tne less guiltless than he who, carelessness, fails to rhbor from a point of dan- Hiy, business men are com be punctual, l ne note goes if the payment is delayed second after tbe huur at hunk clones : but in other which tn iepartmdnts of society, men are not so caret ill. Look at church commit tees, how a dozen men will wait and lose their precious time, lor oue loit erer ! Perhaps it would be well to be gin at the bottom of our religious in o .... . , at.riirtinn. ana all the wav up leacu punctuality, by precept and example V. . ... I . I (j 2 . It anould De a ruie in me ouauajr school that whenever any teacher fails, for three successive timcs,to be present at the opening of the cxer cises at the moment appointed, his case should be considered at a teach.- ers' meeting, and, unless it could be shown that, the circumstances were entirely beyond, bis control,he should be requested to resign, imo unpunut ual teacher can have moral powe over his scholars. No scholar ought to respect an unpunctual teacher No christian ought to lespect a teach er who carelessly tells a falsehood And then the Superintendent ought . . - . . I to feel that under no circumstances, except eucb & he Mouhl dqJ, control, that th Ican- will he be behind one half second ot time in opening the school. No mat ter if thre is but one scholar present the school ought to be opened on the stroke of time. The Superintendent who is fit for; his place would hire a watchman to sit up all Saturday night, to wake him, rather than he should miss a minute in school. For what is the use of Sunday school if it will not thach punctuality ? What is the use of religion if men are not moral ? And, how can an un punctual man be a moral mau, in the highest sense of the word ? The pastor' mast be the chief exemplar to all his people. The thing he most wants is a trustworthy chronometer. If the service is to begin at a fixed hour, the first syllable he utters in the service ought to follow as clo&ely after the last stroke of the clock, tel ling the hour, as that last stroke followed its predecessor. If there be but one person in the church he ought to go forward, and throw upon all late comers the responsibility of disturbing the devotions of their neighbors, by their late coming to church. Thus, and by lecturing on the sin of unpunctUality, he may be training his people up to where every congre gation should be. viz : the habit of being all seated just before the Church service begins. The moral effect of Church service depends largely upon not simpl y the Scriptu ral lessons, nor the prayers, nor the hymns, nor the sermons, but upon all taken together. The 'mini ster stud ies the reading of the lessons as carfully as he dees the preparation of the ser mons. Perhaps he has been two hours working over the chapter to learn how to read it, so as to convey to the hearer the meaning of the Holy Spirit in the Word of God. And,prhap8,the effect of the sermon is to depend very largely upon tbt preparation in the minds of b hear- ears, securia oy me pr(jt le8son. if only naif are freaking in uoon it. i i . - tuin8 il is for ne work of 'od i It seems unaccountable that so many congregations arev-areles8 in this matter, when it is known, from years end to years end, that the ser vice is to begin at a fixed hour. It ought to vary; from that moment no more frequently than trains of cars on our most used and best-regulated railroads fail to go on schedule time. Let us begin the work of reform in this matter in our Sunday schools and Churches ; and let us spread through the whole community this truth, that a man who is not precise ly and pnnctilioosly careful of his engagements is in great danger, to say the least of losing bis moral self-control. Raleigh Christian Ad vocate. WHAT MEN NEED WIYES FOR. What does a man need a wife for ? t is not merely to sweep the house, and make the beds, and darn the ocks, and cook the meals, chiefly, that a man wants a wife. If this is alL when a young man calls to see a young lady, send him into the pantry to taste the bread and cake she has made : send him to inspect the needle-work and bed-making ; or put broom into her hands and send him to witness its use. Such things are important, and the wise young man will look after them. But what the true man most wants of a wife is her companionship, sympathy and love. Fhe way of life has many dreary places in it, and man needs a com pamon to go with him. A man is sometimes overtaken with misfort unes : he meets with failure and de feat : trials and temptations beset him, and he need one to stand by and sympathize. He has some stern battles to fight with poverty, with enemies, ana witn sin, ana ne neeas a woman that, while he puts his arms around her and feels that he has something to fight for, will help him fight ; that will put her lips to his ear and whisper words of counsel, and her hands to his heart and impart new inspirations. All through life through sunshine, conflict and vie torv. through adverse and favoring winds man needs a woman s ove x he heart yearns for it. A sister' or a mother's love will hardly supply the need. Yet many seek for noth ing further than success in house work. Justly enough, half of these set nothing more. The other naif, surprised above measure, have got ten more than they sought. Their wives surprise them , by bringing nobler idea of marriage, and disci os ing a treasure of courage, sympathy and love.
