How Whittier First Became Known.

How William Lloyd Garrison came
to find out, forty years ago, John q.
Whittier, and how Writers poetical
career was developed, is thus narrated
by gentleman VINO knows the facts

paper III his native town of Newbury-
port, and the other was at work on his
fathers farm in East Haverhill and
was unknown beyond the limits of an
obscure village. One morning Mr..
Garrison picked from the floor of lis
office entry poetical effusion,
written on coarse paper with
blue ink Thinking, at first
sight, that it was a common doggerel,
he was about to consign it to his waste
basket, but on reading it he found it to
be poetry of more than ordinary merit

was followed by other pieces of still
greater merit. Anxious to know the
author of these anonymous contribu
tons, Mr. Garrison made inquiries of
the post-rider, who Informed him that

with a boy at farm house in East
Haverville. Mr. Garrison at once rode

Garrison earnestly entreated him to

form to which he was about consecrat-
ing the best years of his life, and that
the poet would live to celebrate in i'm
slavery.
