doubtless good reasons. There has hccn some
fun msde Of ]. q. Holland tribute. 1t is brief
enough to quote, and here it Ia:
TEN TIMES SEVEN.
Ten gentle hearted bors Of seven.
Too young and sweet to stray from He3vcn,
WIll-countiug up the little 1ncn-
Amount to three score years and ten.
Two gracious men OF thirty-fve,
With wits alight and hearts alive,
Will fill complete the rounded spheres
OF seventy strong and manly years.
Nay, Whittier, thou art not old;
Thy register lie hath told.
For lives devote to lore and t1ath
Do only multiply their youth.
Thou art ten gentle boys Of seycn.
With eouls too sweet to stay from Heaven;
Thou art two men OF thirty -dvc+
With wits s1ight, and hearts alive!

Whittier, in the character OF whole choir of
little boys, is nothing If not amusing, and it is
hardly credible that Mr.. Holland should re-
gard him in any such light, or that he would
wish to be so regarded There is something
in this; and yet those who know Mr.. Whittier
will perceive afr. HOLLANDS meaning, and
sympathizc with it. Mr.. Whittier does not con-
