10 THE MOHNING OREGONIAl SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1900. WHITTIER: BY HARRIET (Copyright, 1000. by THE OREGONIWS HOME STUDY CIRCLE: LITERARY TALKS , AND REMINISCENCES BY HARRIETT PRESCOTT SPOFFORD. II. You never thought of Mr. "Whlttler as & Quaker when you saw him. He wore, ordinarily, a tall silk hat and black clothes, varied sometimes with gay trou sers or a light overcoat; and in "Winter he was particular to have his best over coat turned out with a fine Astrachan fur. But in most other matters of mint and anise and cummin he was a careful observer of the rules of his sect. Ke used the plain talk generally, saying "thee" and "thou," but perhaps he offset it now and then by saying "plaguey, and ho did bow to the acquaintance on the street and use the customary titles of Mrs., Miss or Mr. In addressing a stranger. He would have said, and did say, that he was a stout Quaker in his principles; he undoubtedly was so in his prejudices; but the man of war and the man of peace were always at variance within him. It was the man of war that made the tremendous fight for the freedom of the slave, that did the work which rejoiced his soul, and which also won him his rep utation. It was the man of peace who afterwards wrote the ballads and lyrics and songs of divine love that brought him the affection of almost a whole peo ple. But the truth is that "Whlttler loved a fight as much as any frequenter of Donnybrook fair, provided It was for a question of right or truth. There were absolutely opposite spiritual inheritances contending within him. There was, ot course, the Quaker, with his love of quiet pursuits Thomas V hlttier is said to have brought the first hive of bees to this country but also with his indignant knowledge of what It is to suffer under tyranny, wrestling with his conviction of the ideal beauty of peace. Of this type the poet's grandfather, Thomas, was a striking example, refusing the shelter of the garrison-house, making friends of the Indians, who went and came In his house as they would, his doors never barred, and he and his family remaining unhurt in the midst of massacre. Besides this strain there was the well-known fire of the Black Bachelder, one of the most in teresting characters of the Colonial his tory. And then there was the hatred of oppression and the determination to be free in body and soul, that -marked the Uughenot: for among his ancestors Were the Fculllevertes, who translated their name to Grcenleaf on leaving France, one of whom was a lieutenant of Crom well's and whose coat of arms was pecu liarly suited to Whlttler himself, as it bore not only a dove with an olive branch, but the helmet of a manat-arms. It was well for the world that this fight ing blood did run in Whittier's veins and made his heart burn with power and his arm strong to strike. "Whlttler was born of the people. His father was a farmer, whose few acres produced all that his family ate or wore, a" the dew of Eden was sufficient to Eden. The name of "Whlttler was derived from whlte-tawcr, the aresser of skins for gloves. The boy began work with last and awl to earn his first money: and ho remained near the people and with a heart full of tender sympathy all.hls life. The house in which he was born was of the same comparative order as the cot tage in which Burns was born, and as the Cralgenputtock ben and 'byre. It is a curious freak In fate and fortune, al though by no means an unusual one, that he who so loved humanity and was vir tually giving his life for it, should many times have been hustled and assailed by mobs. It was his pleasure to live near the people; although he had accumulated through generous pavment for verse large sales of books and the wise counsel of friends in investments a very com fortable provision, amounting to more than SHK00 yet. after he sold the Ha verhall homestead and came to live in Amesbury, his home was very plain and his habit of life frugal, showing an ex treme simplicity of life and conduct. You passed through a small rarlor to enter his study, which was a pleasant room opening on one side on a garden full of shrubs and trees and the glass door on the other side giving a view of Powwow Hill. Here were bookcases and a desk, a lounge and easy chair, and on Iho walls were a water color of Harry Tennis and a painting of fringed gentians by Lucy Larcom. Here by the open fire tat with him from time to time Garrison and Phillips and the Fields and Bayard Taylor. Emerson and Longfellow and Sumner and Colonel Higglnson and Sted man, Alice and Phoebe Cary. Gall Ham ilton. Lydia Maria Child. Anna Dickin son in fact, all the personages of his ;ra. But here also sat on equal terms the village carpenter, the drover and teamster, to "Whlttler a man being "a man for a that." Here ne lived with his mother and his beautiful sister Elizabeth, herself a poet; and from here he went with them to tho Friends' meeting, preferring to worship In the stillness of the little bare-walled place rather than in any splendid temple where the light filters through glass stained In many colors and the organ rolls sweet thunder, or in any fields or woods where the loveliness of Nature perpetually brought his thoughts back to earth, although in his youth he had felt quite otherwise. Essex County. In which Whlttler was born, is full of legends, stories of second sight, of witches and witchcraft, of hnunted mills running by night, of phan tom ships, of wizards who made the dry bough blossom, and innumerable others, all of which Whlttler made his own, anl In doing so won to himself the affection of all who had a common Interest with him in the traditions. Whlttler was in his 7th year when ho first went to school, the district school, whose teaching and whose appliances and tools were very primitive. He was U when the world of poetry opened to him with the songs of Burns. His earliest acquaintance with them came through an old tramp, who after his refreshment sung "Bonnie Doon" and "Highland Mary with great spirit. Later his first schoolmaster. Joshua Coffin, read him 60yfr.Lt the Poems- "I begged him." said Whlttler, "to leave the book with me. and set at once to the task of mas tering the glossary of Scottish dialect at its close. This was about the first poetry I had ever read, with the exception of that of the Bible, of which I had been a close student, and it had a la&tlng in fluence upon me. I began to make rhymes myself and to Imagine stories and adven tures. In fact. I lived a sort of dual life, and in a world of fancy as well as In a world of plain matter of fact about me." Almost every one is familiar with the story of Whittier's elder sister. Mary, sending to the Free Press, edited by Wil liam Lloyd Garrison, one of his" early poems without his knowledge, of Garri son's visiting him in consequence, and of Whittier's coming in from the field to get on his coat and shoes to see hs guest. From the day of that momentous inter view Whlttler stretched every nerve to acquire education, walking miles to bor row a book, losing no chance of culti vating the gift of poetic expression. He was a tall and slender boy, very beauti ful, with pale face and 'arge. black eyes; very shy, with a love of fun and teasing; but with a good humor and chivalrous spirit that made every one his friend. He was still very young when he be came an editor, and he spent many years uXterward in editorial work, although he jworkti on .the farm between whiles to pay ff. its AfthU J.n 1KB. when 26 vears Wd. he threw in .his lot with the Aboli tionists, an.a.both.in,n?ps,a;nA poetry for a long tiirje thereafter devoted tfrti ,nen to their cause. When he began -rile work PEESCOTT SPOFFORD Seymour Eaton.) DIRECTED BY PROF- SEYMOUR EATON with them it wasa state prison offense to teach a colored person to read- XtJw there are 15,000 primary schools for col ored children In the South, to speak of no other, and colored people themselves edit more than 1IS0 newspapers. What stormy and what splendid days they were in which he was then an actor: Days in which he and all his friends carried their lives in their hands, but in which they were animated by heaven-born purposes, hearty companionship and heroic cour age. "I am here." said the president of one of their meetings, in the face of a murderous mob, "and I will be torn in pieces before I leave my place at your dictation." Nevertheless, Mr. Whlttler objected to being called the war poet. "It Is a mis- a poem in favor' or in praise of war. K J possible, strike out the phrase, as I do not wish to be represented as false to my lifelong principles." And yet in an other of his letters AVhlttler said: "I know nothing nobler or grander than the.v heroic self-sacrifice of Colonel Shaw. As., he rode at the head of his troops, thc',i very flower and grace of chivalry, heflj seemed to me beautiful and awful as an J The John Burroughs Bird Society de angel of God come down to lead the host A elded last night, at its regular meeting, of freedom to victory.

Yet when the bells ring on the passage of the constitutional i amendment abolishing slavery, although . he is at the moment in the Friends' j meeting, the magnificent "Laus Deo" . springs to being as he sees that "The cruel red of war Blossoms white with righteous law. And the wrath ot fnnn Is praise!" Mr. Whlttler never loet his personal at- tractiveness in growing old. His eye was as flerv. his fimilfl was ft swret. as in i his early manhood. David Masson used : to say that his eyes, full of dark flame, ' his Arabian complexion, his sharp facial lines, his height, his movement, all i showed the Saracenic type. He must have been agreeable to women, but if he ever had a love affair nothing is known of It. But "more are the children of the deso- late." and instead of the lqve of wife and children he had that of all the peo- pie In his vicinage, and he loved them in , return. "Why," said one of his old neighbors, "he's Just as natural and like: 1 folks as can be." He never went abroad x he shared the feelings of Naaman, who asked if Albana and Pharpar, rivers ot Damascus, had not as healing waters as the Jordan. He never held public office, content to fight out his point of view at . ,.v,......v. u..t .., u.uo ...w. . . never hesitated to fight if the glove were; "irut ol "ie -nnwest.

GIVEN QUICK DISPATCH MABEL RICKHERS HEADY FOR SEA AFTEH 14 DAYS IX THE RIVER. Xo Jbbk Ships Have Been Delayed Carlisle City In Port St. Eaock'a Good Oatrrard Passage. The German ship Mabel rilckmers fin ished loading yesterday and went out Intt, the stream. The vessel hai " received very good dispatch, having arrived in the river two weeks ago yesterday. Usually ships which come along at the tail end or the season are held up for several week, but this year all of the -vessels have been hustled out as fast rs they were reauy for cargo. The Galgate, which cleared about a week ago, sailed yesterday from Astoria, after remaining' in the river but 2S days, an'J tho Plnmore, which has been in the river but 26 days, left down the river yesterday ready for sea, after lying In port a wek with cargo aboard wait ing for orders. The Wcndur shifted down yesterday to take the Mabel Rickmers berth at the elevator dock. The Nesala, which has been In the river Just a month, arrived down at Astoria last -evening. TILING STAnnUCIC SOLD. Well-Known Ship to Sail in the Ilavrailnn Trade. The American ship Tlllle E. Starbuck. the first iron sailing ship built 'in Amer ica, and one of the best known vessels that ever came to Portland, has been sold to San Francisco parties, and will be placed in the trade" between San Fran cisco and the Hawaiian Islands. The Starbuck is a fine ship, and has always been a money-maker. For nearly la years she has been in command or Cap tain Eben Curtis, whose family resided In Portland until about a year ago. Cap tain Curtis was reported a short Umo ago to be slated for command of ono ui the big freight steamers that i-re being built for the aiound-the-Horn trade, but if the Starbuck Is placed 'In the island trade he may prefer to remain with her, as his family are now residents of San Ftarfclsco and his son is running on one of the Pacific Mall boats. The &me firm which has purchased the Starbuck has also secured the Gerard C. Tobey, a well-known ship In the around-the-Horn trade, and will place her on the Island trade. CARLISLE CITY ARRIVES. Santc Fe Liner "Will Load Lumber and Flonr at Pgrtlnnd. The British steamship Carlisle City, of the California & Oriental line, arrived in at Astoria, yesterday, and will reach Portland early this morning. The steam er has considerable freight aboard al ready, but will round off her cargo with a good-sized shipment of floor, lumber and miscellaneous freight from this poru She will take over 300.000 feet of lumber, a small schooner-load by Itself. The Car lisle City will be given quick dispatch, and will get away soon after the Mon mouthshire, which is scheduled to leave next Monday morning. Ttje Monmouth shire will take away upwards of 30.000 barrels of flour, and this, with the flour shipment on the Carlisle City, will make a very good showing for the end of tlio season. From present 'appearances, the flour trade will start off easy next sea son, the war in China nffectlng matters to a certain extent. GOOD OUTWARD TRD7. St. Enoch Arrives at Qneenstovm After a Voj-nge of 127 Days. The British ship St. Enoch, which made the longest trip on record between Pana ma and Portland, partially Tedeemed her self on her homeward voyage by making the outward run ln 127 days. She arrived at Fhlmouth yesterday, and while 127 days is ordinarily considered fairly good time, the trips of the four vessels which preceded her were so much better than the average that nothing but her long trip from Panama last Fall makes h voyage worthy of comment. Of the five February ships which have thus far re ported out, the average passage Is HC days, with the Chile and Margretha yei to hear from. It lacks but a few days of being a year since the St. Enoch sailed from Panama for Portland, and consid ering that it has been a year of high freights, her owners have lost money through the delays. MORE OVERDOES. Brokers Arc Paying Reinsurance on a Number of Ships. SAN FRANCISCO. June 22. Fears are entertained for the safety of several over due vessels. The British four -masted bark Hlllston left Honolulu for Pugct Sound April L in ballast, and nothing has been heard of her since. This Is the same voyage on which the hark Domin ion started over a year ago. and never reached her destination. The Chilean bark Cambuco left Iqulque with a cargo of nitrates 209 days ago for Puget Sound, and has not been heard from since. The four-masted schoonet Americana Is now out 111 days from the same port for San Francisco, and 33 per cent reinsurance is being paid on her. GERMAN SHIPYARDS BUSY. Unable to Ilnndle All the Worle Of fered, and Orders Sent Abroad. The German shipyards are now so full of work that most of the Hamburg ship owner find themselves compelled to send their orders to Great Britain, where 22 steamers are now building on Ham burg account. Ten of these boats arc.fi-r the Hamburg-American line, two for "the Kosmos Company, two fpr the Woermann line, three for A. C. de Freltas & Co., two for the German-Australian. Company, one? for C. Anderson, one for M-. Jebsen-and one for Goltermanh's successors. These new vessels are ln hand at Glasgow, New castle. Sunderland, Stockton 'and West Hartlepool. Lumber for Anstralia. ASTORIA, June 22. The American ba'rk entlne Echo cleared at the Custom-House this afternoon for Melbourne, Australia, with 827.111 feet of pine Itftnber, valued a't $S271 1L She was loaded at lhe Knapp ton mills, and will ioil as soon as she can ship tho remainder of -her. crew. Marine Note. The British bark Flfeshlre will leave up from' Astoria today In tow of the steam er R. R. Thompson. The transport Lennox arrived up short ly after mldqlght Thursday, and Is lying at Alaska dock. The Marechal Vllllera arrived up yesterday morning. Captain Newton Jordan, a well-known Eun Francisco bar pilot, is In the elty on route for a vacation trip "down Jn Maine. He leaves Tuesday, and will go by way of the Great Lakes.

Though fearful storms have swept in wrath ' About thy toilsome, rugged path. And thou has ofttlmes been cast down And sore dismayed by Fortune's frown. Faint not. but bravely bear thy part. O fellow man: once more take heart. The storm Is followed by the calm! And Winter gales by airs of balm. Dark night gives place to sun-bright day; Let Hope still cheer thee on thy way." Beyond the cloud still shines the sun; Press on until thy work is done. Perchance thou many times hast failed. Some weakness over thee prevailed. And thou hast faltered In the strife And sadly rued thy blighted life; Though great thy grief and keen thy palu, O weary one, take heart again. Dwell not upon thy mournful past. Arise, and for the right stand fast; Be strong and brave, fold not thy hands. For thee still flow life's golden sands; To better things sweet voices call. And God In love rules over all.
