Mhittier,s Patriotic Poemn.

During these years of the antislavery struggle not only was Whittier's repu- tation as a poet growing steadily, but the people of the north and of the west were as steadily coming over to his side. Of course we cannot exactly measure the influence of poem or song but it may be almost irresistible. He was wise man who was willing to let others make the laws of a people if only he could write their songs. Law is but the expression of public opinion, and when the ringing stanzas of the antislavery bards and the stirring speeches of the antislavery orators had awakened the conscience of the free states the end of the evil was nigh. Slavery made hard fight for it's life, but it was slavery that Whittier hated, and not the southern slave owners, and there is no bitterness or rancor in the poems published in 1863 and called "In War Time" And of these ballads of the battle years the best and the best beloved is Barbara Freit- chic, which was rather tribute to the old flag than an attack upon those who were then ill arms against it.-Profess

 Casting aspell upon an individual, or, as they say on the Bowery, "hoodoo- ing fellow" has not, according to La Revue, fallen into innocuous des- uetude.

 The doll method is the most ancient and the most classic. It requires wax figure calleda Fmanie, ' resembling the victim as much as possible. It is also necessary to have some little objects that belonged to the victim, or, better yet. one of his teeth, portions of his nails or one or two hairs of his head.
