Happily for my purpose, we have, this year,

have said he was not great. What he lacks in
genius has been fully made up in goodness and
purity.
But goodness and purity without the diamond
flash of brain, without the fire and fever of thoughts
that are unquenchable overweight themselves in
literature.
Whittier rhymes by dictionary rule; he con-
structs to nicely fit occasions and ideas; he
delicately employs refined sentiment his pathos Is
natural and exuberant his fancy circumscribed;
his grandest theme and best inspiration, alas
hackneyed story
Yet when the dawn was Swallowed and clouds
hung menacingly over our republic, he sang that
story without quaver in his voice. to the few
who dared to listen. He led with other martyrs

small army of sappers and miners which an en-
lightened, blood taught, revivhed, disenthralled
people afterward hailed legion OF yic:ors.
That thrilling song was heard in chimes near and
remote. It's reverberations rang from Caledonia's
sterile mounts and intensified the storm thunder
on Switzerland's ice-clad peaks. Its clear, bird
like, heart-cheering notes pierced the foul gloom of
cypress-draped, hound tracked savannas, carrying
sympathy and comfort to the haunts of scourged,
branded, fleeing, death marked bondmen
Whittier, like Longfellow, has been the silent,
yet much annoyed, victim of that incorrigible
advertiser of literery excellence-the parodist.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT,

Women Are Now Permitted to Follow the
Same Pursuits as Men.
Time was, and not long past. when if
circumstances of birth or misfortune
had thrown a woman upon her own re-
sources-made her dependent upon her
own eXertiOas to sustain life-tO ply
the needle. and from its painful. scanty
earnings to exc out bare subsistence,
was about the only avenue open to her
If she would retain her respectability
and be recognized as respectable by the
moral world
But the dawn of brighter day.
though it is tardy in appearing, has
surely come. The rigor of public SEN
timent has softened, and morally, so
cially and physically-in large meas
ure-men and women are standing
upon the same platform. The old ar
gument that woman's place is at
home. and that her only occupation
should be the ministering to the COM
forts of her husband and her children,
has been put aside by the undeniable
facts that thousands and tens of thou
sands of American women have no
home, no husband. no children. and
worse than all. no support save that,
as unprotected and friendless. they earn
from the Implying and cold-hearted
selfishness of the world.
Now that the bar of ingress has been
removed and public sentiment permits
woman to engage in whatever indus
trial calling her inclination or circum-
stances may incite her to. honorebly and
modestly. we may find far less appre-
hension, regarding her comfort and
largely unprotected condition. All
over our country there is demand to
day for her labor, and without fear of
censure she may answer that demand,
and thus comparatively, enjoy solace
and comfort from which her sex has,
in the past, debarred her.
Other and older countries are look
ing with favor upon the improved con-
dition of American women, and are
striving to initiate the example here
given to the world. Miss Emily Faith
full, of England. has tor years
been zealously laboring to ameliorate
the coalition Of the lower Classes Of
