"Each in His Own Tongue."
The vicissitudes of stray verses are interestingly illustrated by the case of a piece with the above title written by Professor W. H. Carruth. The piece was originally printed, in the New England Magazine about three years ago. At that time it attracted no especial attention, though it was noted and quoted by several ministers in New England. In this way it happened that it appeared more than once in the midst of a printed sermon. A year and a half ago the poem happened to catch the attention of Reverend Edward Everett Hale, who wrote to Mr. Carruth asking permission to reprint it in his department of the Christian Register. When he handed it in the editor informed him that it had already been printed in the Christian Register three times. But Mr. Hale with characteristic impulsiveness insisted on printing it again. By this time the title had been changed to "Each in His Own Name," which isn't exactly to the point, and several phrases in the verses were altered from the form given them by the writer. But Mr. Hale printed it with these alterations, just as be clipped it from some newspaper. After its appearance in Mr. Hale's department of the Christian Register the poem was widely copied and finally was embalmed in the platter matter of one of the greatest newspaper agencies and has thus been extensively circulated. Carruth has received many letters regarding the poem, some of commendation and others objecting to its supposed theological bias. Among the letters he prices most are those from Mr. Hale and one recently received from Mrs. John Russel Young, wife of the librarian of congress, which had been sent to Leavenworth, care of the "Times."
W H. CARRUTH,
Dear Sir;—"It is not often that I receive a 'shock of pleasure' from reading the random verse of our magazines, or am inclined to seek out the writer to express my admiration, but I should forfeit a genuine privilege if I neglected to tell you what delight your fine lines, 'Each In His Own Name', have given me. It may carry greater weight to your mind if I add that, reading them to Mr. Young, critical as he is, be pronounced them 'magnificent.'—While our literary world is jingling with rhymes, the real song of the poet is heard high above the noise, even as your own superb lines ring true and clear, and we call it God.
MARY D. RUSSELL YOUNG.
Yours truly,
MARY D. ROSSELL YOUNG.
As the poem has not been printed in Lawrence, we copy it here as it appeared in the New England magazine.

A fire-mist and a planet—
EACH IN HIS OWN TONGUE.
BY WILLIAM HEENAN CORRECT
A fire-mist and a planet—
A crystal and a cell,—
A jellyfish and a saurian,
And caves where the cave-men dwell;
Then a sense of law and beauty.
And a face turned from the clod.
Some call it Evolution.
And a face came from it.
Some call it Evolution,
And others call it God.
A haze on the fair horizon, The infinite tender sky.
Like tides on a crescent see-beach
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come 'welling and surging in,-
Come from the mystic ocean,
Whose rim no foot has trod,
Some of us call it Longing,
And others call it God,
The ripe, rich hint of the corn fields.
And the wild gese saitling high.—
And all over upland and lowland
Some of us call it Autumn,
And others call it God.
A picket frozen on duty,
A mother starved for her brood,
Socrates drinking the huelock,
And Jesus on the rooft.
A hard time like a table and namesets,
The straight, hard pathway trod,
Some call it Conservation.

"Well, Caleb," said Captain W. of Massachusetts years ago, "what will you ask a day to saw wood for me? I've got several cords that I want sawed in two for the fireplace."
George T. ToBeach returned Wednesday from his home in Havensville, where he was called last week by the death of his brother.
"I should charge you about half a dollar a day if I had a saw," replied Caleb, "but 'I cann't get more, captain, so don't see how I can accommodate you."
Students as well as others wanting coal, will find A. J. Griffin's the most convenient and best place to trade. His prices are the lowest,[coal the best, and delivery is prompt and satisfactory.]
"If that's all that's lacking, I guess we can manage it," said the captain. "I've got a prime new one, keen as a brier, and I'll let it to you reasonable. How would ninegence (12¹⁵ cents) a cerd do for the use of it?"
"I reckon that's a fair price, captain
I'm be over in the mornin."
Bright and early that next July morning Caleb was at work, and he kept at it so faithfully that he finished before onset, when he went to the house to settle.
"Let's see," said the captain, "you were to have half a dollar a day. We'll call it a day, although it ain't sundown yet. That's 50 cents for you, and you were to pay me ninepence a cord for the use of the saw. There were three cords and a half in the pile. That makes 48¾ cents due me. Somehow, Caleb, you don't have very much coming to you."
"How unfortunate, said Caleb, after scratching his head dubiously for half a minute, and then looking up quickly, as if a new light had broken in upon his face. "So when I have half a cord more, for then wed 'n' come out test square!" —Success.
Mark Twain's Generosity.
At one time, when the distinguished writer, Richard Malcolm Johnston, had been prevailed on to give a reading in Baltimore, Thomas Nelson Page volunteered to assist him, but a death in Mr. Page's family prevented him from appearing in the entertainment.
Mark Twain heard of it. The people of Baltimore had long wished to have Twain appear there, but he had steadily refused to resume his lectures.
But he wont on that occasion, for he appreciated the genius of Richard Malcolm Johnston, and desiring to honor him, he left New York, at a great personal sacrifice, and appeared with him on that occasion.
There was never such a crowded house in a Baltimore theater.
When the entertainment was over Colonel Johnston, with his accustome fairness and courtesy, tendered Twab the bulk of the receipts.
"No," said Mark, "not one cent shall I receive. It is such a great honor to know a man like you that I am the one who owes you the debt of gratitude."
"Well," said the colonel, "at leas,
let me defray your expenses?"
"I have a through ticket," sab Twain.
"Goodby and God bless you!"
