The conversation had run on for quite
time In this strain, and Mr.. Whittier
seemed fresh with the inspiration Of re-
calling recollections Of the past. The par
lor In which we were sitting was evidently
not the place be loved most In his comfor-
table homt; for while speaking OF his life
and bis friends, he stopped and said:
"Come into my reom."
He led the way acroes the apartment in
which we were sitting, through hall, and
opened door into his little library, where,
should jndge, he spent most OF his time;
He seated himself close to the window, and
| took chair near him, for his hearing Is
not Of the best. AS he Is resting in his
easy chair I introduced him to the reader
in the opening paragraph, sitting under
the rays OF the noon day sun. The scene
in The little study Is, at this moment, an
interesting one. Six little shelves, fitted
into The chimney and the side OF the house,
are filled with useful books. Longie!low's
works, Browning, Reade's novels, Lowell's
poems, Whittier's prose works, are found
In the choice collection. Over near win.
lowed door leading into the yard is little
writing desk, lined and strewn with papers.
Above Il hangs q pen and ink sketch Of a
brother who died last year. Over against
the wall Is O picture oil Starr King and q
splendid portrait Of Emerson. Between
t6em colored picture OF the ancient home
| Of Whittier, near Haverhill. It shows the
solid old house sitting among the hills near
the woods and the brook, leading across
the road, in the foreground.
"That is q good picture o. my birth
to its solidity with a genuine feeling Of
pride. sits over 200 years old, yet Is as
strong and substantial as ever. It looks as
though It might stand another 200 years.
This little room holds, and this house con;
tains very few Of my books and pictures,
CONTINUED Mr.. Whittier, as he looked
around the apartment and told the history
OF the few interesting things that were there,
~ have been living over OF Danvers most
Of my time Of late years, and many Of my
most valuable belongings are there"

The conversation then driited upon the
methods Of these great writer's while at
work, when Mr.. Whittier said:
/ was unlike any OF the rest, think, for
I never had any methods When l felt
ike 1t wrote, and neither had the health
nor the patience TO work over 1t afterwards.
It usually went as II was originally COM
pleted. Emerson wrote with great care
and would not only revise his manuscript
carefully, but have often heard him say
that he frequently rewrote the article upon
the proof sheets. Lopgtellow, too, was q
very careful writer. He wrote and iewrote,
and would lay his work by and then revise
II. He often consulted with hil friends
about his productions before they were
given to the world. He, therefore, sent
Bis work out as perfect as great care and 8
brilliant intellect could make II. Twas not
so fortunate. have lived mostly aseclud.
ed life, with little patience to draw upon
and only a few friends for associates. What
writing have done has been for the love
OF it. ! have ever been timid OF what l
have penned. It's really marvel to me
that / have gathered any literary reputa-
ton from my productions"
"Haye you read much OF Walt Whit
mans works?
ayes, considerably; Emerson sent me
bis Leaves oil Grass and l read 1t. As l
only read books to get the good out Of
them, am not critic, and have lived
TOO long to quarrel with a man over his
idiesyncracies. I found some very strong
things in Mr.. Whitman's book"

The Quaker Poet ON HIS Own Work.
Pleasant "Reminiscences OF LongfeliOW
and Emerson.
Correspondence Philadelphia Pres
The little parlor was well lighted and
cheerful, but az simple and unpretentlous
as the master was plain and unassuming.
Easy in conversation but careful Of bis
words and criticisms, Mr.. Whittier, with
his surroundings, carried one into an at
mosphere Of pleasant recollections, with
his "reminiscences Of bygone days and Of
men who, with him, played well their part
in building the literary reputation Of Amer
lea. His good opinion Of Longfellow was
everywhere apparent, and, when / sug-
gested 1t, he said:
"Yes, we were warm friends. He was q
delightful man and great poet. The last
time he was here in my house he came
with Senator Summer and Mr.. Charles
Lauman, Of Washington. We saw little Of
each other during the last few years oil his
life. My health did not permit me to go
about much. Not long before he died he

could, l went to him. was toolate, how.
ever, Tor, when l reached his house, he was
then unable 10 see any one, and soon alter
passed away. Hawthorne, Emerson, Long
fellow and myself were always friends.
There were no iealousies between us, and
each took pride in the work and the sue
cesses Of the other. We would exchange
notes upon our productions, and il one saw

language. He was the superior OF Addison.
never knew or read Of man who could
build such beautiful stories in words that
the hum blest could understand. Emerson
was not only great writer, but philoso-
pher. Oar relations were very close. He
often visited me here, and l him. We saw
more Of oneanother than did LJngtellow,
and !. Emerson has written some things
that will live forever"
"What are they?'
"'The Problem, Elch and All, and per-
haps twenty other pieces that l could

writing, that gave his work great power.
Ny sister used to say that she liked him

New Church In BIrmin9ham.

BirmiDgham's new Catholic church will be dedicated November 25th. It is described as being one of the most handsome church edi- fees in the State. The Derby Transcript has Ehis to say of it's paintings: ''In the first bay is one representing the annunciation, showing the angel Gabriel in the temple announcing to tho Virgin Mary that she is to be the mother of Christ. The second is the yisita- ton, showing the visit of Mary to her cousin, St. Elizabeth The third, representing the nativity, is scene in the stable at Bethlehem at the birth of Christ In the fourth bay is the crncifxioD, representing the death of Christ on the cross, with his mother, St. John and Magdalen standing ct his side. The fifth represents the resurrection, and shows Ch1ist rising from the tomb, surrounded by light so brilliant that the Roman soldiers who were guarding it have been overcome and are lying prostrate on the ground. The sixth represents the ascension, and shows Christ ascending to heaven from the midst of the apostles on Mount Ohvet; and the seventh is the assumption, showing the virgin being carried to heaven by the angels.
 ''On the arched ceiling of the chancel is a painti ng representing the dove. surrounded by group of angels. The colors in this painting are very evenly blended, and very plea sing picture is the result.
 :. On either side of the mann altar, and over eac h of the two side altars are two other large paintings, the one on the gospel side representing the parents of the child Mary, St. JOachfm and St. Anne, presenting her at the temple, and the one on the epistle side, the death of St. Joseph.
 StIn the nave are paintings of the twelve apostles, ca eh holding in his hand an imple- ment of his trade Over the organ loft are two others, one of King David playing the harp. and th 3 other, St. Cecilia. the patroness of musicians- playing an organ.
