Henry Wadsworth Longfellow had
been recogdized as a poet in days that
are separated from US by almost
sixty years. He was born in Port
land, Me-, on the 9th of February,
1907. Maine then formed part of the
common " ealth of Massachuset He
was a son of the Hon. Stephen Long
fellow, man of much note in the
first half of this century, both in law
and in politics, and who was one of
the early members of, the United
States house Of representatives4frOm
Maine (1S2S-5). He was one Of the
Massachusetts delegates TO the Hart
ford convention and it is stated that
be was the last survivor Of the mem
bers of that memorable body. He
was descended, paternally, from one
Of The Massachusetts, colonists who
came to this country more than two
centuries ago, and on the side of his
mother from John Alden. MIR.

lasted for more than forty years, and
ended only when Hawthorne went
to his tiual resting-place, i'll Sleepy
Hollow, at Concord. In Hawthorne'>
