can see thu. new bridge which connects
Boston and Cambridge and the latter
city itself, DIR. Holmes birthplace. He
has seen from this,win6ow many changes
in the charming old place, chiefly fires, -
he says, of which have been many
since he 'hyed.opposite. He has described
his window as follows:
Through my north window, in the wirtry weather,
Ny airy oriel on the Hvershare,
I watch thesea fowl as thsysfloo4N together,
Where late the boatman dashed his dripping car
The gull, high floating, like asloop unlsdsn,
Lets the loose. waterwast hiuaASit will;
The duck, round bceasted as ., Fostsc maiden.
Paddles and piaHgsss busy, busy still
After whiiesDr Holmes #drifted. in
his conversational ther than personal
topics, talking ofSeSarious people and
things. He ceased to be sthe reserved
man Of letters submitting to IAN inter.
view, and becamesthe delightful CONVEX
sationalist and the attentive listener.
When [ rose tosge;saster aspleasant peri
cd of tins sort of conversation, hee re-
minded mesthat1 ought7to look out Of
his window and see the river and the
new'bridge. The windowgwas a place
fun Of suggestions. Across the river
lay Cambridge, the home of Lengfellow
Lowell and the Autocrst hiTuself, where
stands the famous Washington Elm, /"
under which W ashington took command
of the American army, and where, is
situated the first coAegesfounded IN this
country, Harvard university. Nearer
flowed the stream celebrated In song and
prose, of which Longfellow wrote:
Riverl that In silence windest
Through the meadows.bright and free,
TIL at length thy rest thou fndest
In the bosom of the sea!
-Four long years Of mingled feeling,
Half in.gestland half islastr9e,
Ihaveseen thy waters stealing
Onward Ike the stream of life.
DR.. Holmes has been said to have "au
entire want of reverence for everything
which is not naturally and nationally
worthy of reverence" And IL has been
added, "This tendency sometimes makes
him strike too heavy blows at the mar
row creeds of men" His exact position
is best defined by words from his own
lips: "Imay speak ightingly,of creeds,
but no one ever heard me speak lightly
of the Master"
You have heard of the three doctors
