LONGFELLow AND HIS NIsIToRs.--A letter

I'VE last saw Longfellow at the funeral oil
AgassiZ. The old college chapel was filled
with the perfume of flowers, and through the
aroma the delicious music of Cherublnl's
requiem was solemnly falling. Tie looked
wrinkled and old, his hair was thin and sill
very, and he seemed to feel that around the
generation of men he represented the shad
0ws of eyentide were falling. He has three
daughters, who usually remain with him ia
Cambridge, though somewhat fond OF society
and travel
His residence Is much visited, so much
so. IN fact, that horse cars usually stop before
the house, and the conductors shout, Long
