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

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

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

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,

The American ship Tlllle E. Starbuck.
the first iron sailing ship built 'in Amer

The British steamship Carlisle City, of
the California & Oriental line, arrived

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.

Take Heart.
John Allen Guilford In Boston Transcript.
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.
Work for Dentltnte Indlnns.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June" 22. Both
the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific offi
cials are conferring with Thomas E.
Hughes, a large vlneyardlst of Fresno, In
regard to a plan to relieve the destitute
Pima and Papagoes Indians on the Gila
reservation In Arizona. Labor for the
vineyards is difficult to obtain, and Hughes
promises to transport the Indians from
Phoenix at his own 'expense, provided the
roads will make a low rate, and pay them
good wages for labor. The superintend

the plan, provided the authorities at
Washington agree, and they have been
appealed to.
