JOHN G, WHITTIER.-The poems of Whit
tier belong to the noblest literature of the
century. They show the world how passion
may be devoted to the cause of the poor and
/. the oppressed, without the faint of personal
and ungodly wrath-how the truths of chris
tianity may be interfused with currents of hot
and bounding blood, and pour out stream of
Indignation so charged with pity that it leaves
no sediment of earthly anger. Their rever-
ence, their humanity, their love, overtop and
thrill through the highest reach and widest
tide of their remonstrance and rebuke.-BoS-
ton Transcript.
