''No lapse of years dimmed Whittier's
steady friendships" writes Samuel Il.
Plckard, who contributes the second in
stallment of series Of letters that
passed between Gail Hamilton and the
poet, in the Ladies' Home Journal. One
Of the letters that Whittier wrote to Gail
Hamilton is dated September, 1887, when
the poet was in his eightieth year:
= was gladdened last evening by the
sight of thy handwriting If l do not
see my dear old friends often, I never
forget them. In these lonely latter days

Dury, and spend a night as in the old
tune! | expect to be there the first week
IN October. God bless thee. Think of
me always as thy affectionate friend.''

That from it's silker folds there comes
A hint Of Paradise,

J. saw her lay
This bit Of lace around her throat;
Dear eyes of gray,
So serious IN fashioning

The knot of blue
Upon her breast is passing sweet
With lavender and rue;

My lady lies;
And with despairing sobs, / kiss
