These are all of the 1000 who
Here is what Whittier says:
A NAME.
The name the Gallic exile bore,
st. Malo! from thy ancient mart,
Became upon our Western shore,
Greenleaf Whittier for Feuillevart.
A name to hear in soft accord
OF leaves by light winds overrun,
Or read upon the greening sward
OF May, in shade or sun.
The name my infant ear first heard
Breathed softly with mothers kiss;
His mothers own, no tenderer word
My father spake them thus.
No child have l to bear it on,
Be thou its keeper; let 1t take
From gifts well used and duty done
New beauty for thy sake.
The fair ideals that outran
My halting footsteps seek and find
The fiawless symmetry of man,
The poise of heart and mind.
Yet when did age transfer to youth
The hard gained le ssons OF to-day?
Each lip must learn the taste of truth,
Each foot must feel Its way.
Dear town; for whom the flowers are
born,
Stars shine, and happy song birds sing,
What can my evening give to morn,
My Winter to thy Spring
life not void of pure intent,
With small desert of praise or blame
The love felt. the good meant,
/ leave the with thy uame.
JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.
And here is what our poet says:
HOME, SWEET HOME-wHITTIER
Standil by the Western main,
In the queen-like fairy train,
Like maiden, bright and fair,
With the roses in thy hair.
Ger the land, and DER the sea,
Suitors soon shall come to thee,
They will seek thee in thy bowers,
Crowned with wreaths of orange flowers.
Hap1y thou their lives shall bless
With thy tender. fond caress
From thy vine-wreathed fairy home,
Restless ones no more shall roam;
On thy loving, gentle breast,
Weary ones shall dream aud rest.
KERCHEvAL.
The poet was represented in the
party; for there are now staying at
the hotel Mrs. johnson and Mrs.
OF Amesbury, Massachu-
sets, nieces OF the revered poet, with
whom he makes his home.
The party returned home, leaving
at 3 P. NJ, and arriving in
the city at 4, all delighted with their
visit.
THE TRAIN.
The occasion of the excursion was
the opening OF the new branch of the
Southern Pacific Company's road from
the New river crossing to Whittier.
This road will be extended to San
Pedro in due time. In the other di.
rection it will run through the Ran.
chito, the Paso de Bartolo, La Mer-
ced, etc., to Ramona, thence by
Shorb's winery, the Marengo and
Pasadena to Monk hill, where il
is intended to divide, one branch
going along the foothills to Monr, via,
through the Azusa to Corvina, and
thence across the big Puente ranch to
Puente station. The other arm of they
will tap La Canada and Crescenta
Canada, going through to San Fer
nando. The Southern Pacific Com
pany put the train at the service OF
the Board of Trade, which institution
issued the following cards of invita-
