Mhittier,a QuakerIsm.

From critique on Whittier, by Ed
mund G. Stedman, in the May Century, we
quote the following: 1.-THE training of
the Friends made his boyhood still more
simple; otherwise, as have said, it mat
tered little whether he derived from
Puritan or Quaker SOURCES. STILL it was
much in ono respect to be descended
from Quakers and Huguenots used to
suffer and be strong for conscience sake.
1t placed him years in advance
of the comfortable Brahmin class,
with its blunted sense ofright aud wrong;
and, to use his own words, turned him
SO early away from what Roger Williams
calls the worlds great trinity, pleasure,
profit, and honor" to take side with the
poor and oppressed The Puritans con-
formed to the rule OF the Old Testament,
tho Friends to the spirit of the New. One
has only to read our colonial annals to
know the Jews got ON under the Mosaic
law, inasmuch as to the end of the
Mathor dynasty the pandect of Leviticus,
in all its terror, was sternly enforced by
hurch and state. The Puritans had two
gods, Deus aud Diabolus: the QuslSers
recognized the former alone, and chiefly
through his incarnation as the prince of
peace. They exercised however, tho
light of interference with other peoples
Sode and practice, after a fashion the
more intolerable from a surrender of the
right to establish their own by rope aud
sword. Whittier's Quaker strain, as
rockingham has shown, yielded him
wholly to the intellectual passion
that transcendentalism aroused, and
still keeps him obedient to the
inward light. And it made him
a poet militant, a crusader whose moral
weapons, since he must disown the earnal,
we're keen of edge and seldom in their
seabbards. Tho fire of his deep-set eyes,
whether betokening, like that Of his kins'
man Webster, the BAtchelder blood, oil
inherited from some old Feuillevert
strangely contrasts with the benign ex'
preston of his mouth--that firm serenity
which by transmitted habitude dwelli
upon the lips of the sons aud daughters O.

MOUNT VERNON ArrAlns.

What tho Regents Did Yesterday-
The Restoration OF the South Caro-
lima Room.
The approach Of tho steamer Corcoran

they romai ned in session for ten minutes
after the newspaper reporters had come

ers to enter the mansion, and after they
had received the report Of Mr.. Riggs, the

"Tho ladies at Mount Vernon report
that the usual annual examination Of the

sivo repairs, embracing the roof and
foundation of tho mansion, as well as Of

ture. An interesting package Of porce-
lain has been received by tho vice regent

cluding the years interest upon endow-
mont of $4,000, which Is invested in
