THE POET U'HEYTIER.
His Birth I2dcc and Youth.

The poet john G. Whittier has 81
many friends throughout the land

tract from a long speech concerning
him in the New York L'renjng Pos
will find many readers;

After a while kindly, gray haired

her back through the into side room,
and through to the dining room,--
Here is still the old fire place, where,
on that snowy night wil,ch IS familiar
to all who haze read SNOW Bound,
the hinge fire was buit, and here the
