A things come to him who waits"
1 find in yonr issue Friday. the 18th, an
answer to a question which has remained
unanswered for sixty years. This answer
is contained in a dispatch from West New
bury. Mass, announcing the death at the
age OF 81 OF Miss Elizabeth Bray Downing,
the only sweetheart of JOIN Greenleaf
Whittier. the Quaker poet.
Your dispatch says that Whittier met
Miss Downing iii East H%averhill. near his
old homestead. when he was 20. and a
mutual admiration sprang up between
them. The cau,e OF their sudden parting
was never explained, though II is said
the poet explained to Miss Downing that
he could not enter the matrimonial state
for the reason that he must care for his
mother
Miss Downing, whatever the cause. was
no affected that she never received otten-
tton of any other young man. Whittier
had paid close attention to Miss Downing,
who was a very handsome brunette. After
their little romance they rarely met, and
1t is known that the poet never called up
on her in the later years of his life.
About 1880 | cut the following verses
from the Northampton, Mass, Courier.
l do not find them in Whittier's published
writings. but here they are as they ap.
peared in the Courier. They will perhaps
explain even more than his love for his
mother why Whittier never married.

The market is fun of cough mixtures,
but one trouble with most of them is
that when they do a little good the
patient has TO take SO much that he gets
to loathe the taste. The Pineola Balsam
is superior TO other cough remedies be-
cause it is agreeable TO the palate and Its
good effects are immediate. In few
