BIRTHPLACE OF WHITMAN.

Samuel Woodwork, who one noon,
after quaffing glass Of water from
a then new-fashioned pump in his
home, longed for the cool draughts
from the we'll of his childhood and,
with longing upon him, penned the
ballad of 1.-The Old Oaken Bucket,
whose limpid melody has thrilled the
hearts of millions. And up farther
to the north dwelt that poet laure-
ate of the nursery, Clement G.
Moore, whose fame, if not his name,
has been extended in all tongues
around the world of childhood by the
magi, rhyme, "'Twas the Night Be
fore Christmas"
This is the New York that is dear
er to us than the massive piles OF
stone and brick and the mighty
works of wonder reared by the cum
ming of mems hands. 1t is the New
York that was the keystone of our
intellectual and educational attain
ments that has made possible the
New York of mammoth structures
and mighty enterprises.
Here in this New York of our
memory sleep our great masters.
Here let us revere their genius as
daily we see their homes and their
landmarks being rapidly engulfed by
our merciless, our commerce-grasp-
ing, our brutally unsentimental new
of in
fancy, their footsteps along the
haunts that were dear to them and
rehabilitate the New York that they
loved so well. After all, there is
much left to us that they enjoyed.
There is the same broad ocean that
Walt Whitman sang to from the
shores of Long Island. There is the
wide-sprea6ing walnut tree, two CEN
turtles old, in William Cullen Bry-
ants Cedarmere, whose cool summer
shade may shelter you and me as it
sheltered the inspired author OF
"Thanatopsis." There are still the
remnants of his beloved fruit trees
THAT springtime burst
Into such breadth of bloom"
And there to-day stands the grand
old house with it's wide halls and
wide verandas, it's latticed windows
and it's elinging vines. And, better
yet, there is that grand nature that
Bryant thought the most beautiful
in the world. just beyond the lit
tie village in the country cemetery
which he assisted to establish rises
tall shaft of granite. There he
rests amid
soft airs, and song, and light and bloom
Farther along this beautiful north
shore we reach another shrine. Out
from the lazy little hamlet of Hunt
ington we come upon the birthplace
Of Walt Whitman. It is little two

Especial New York Letter.l


ITO THE true American citizen
there will always be two New
Works. One is the great and
wonderful city that is now undergo
ing many material changes which
will be as unlike the original New
Amsterdam as America is unlike
Holland. With the great under
ground railway systematic largest
in the world-with the mighty build
ings being erected and with the mar
velous public works under way there
will arise upon the foundations OF
the old city a new metropolis, mon
ument and a glory to the CONNER
cial supremacy, the architectural and
engineering skill, the artistic quail
ties and the refinement of the
American people.
But there is another New York, a
grander and greater still 1t is dear
er to us than massive walls Of ma
sonry. Time cannot efface it's mon
uments 1t is the New York that
lives in our memory. Not the quaint
walls and the squat roofs of the
Dutch. Not the New York of fash
ion, with it's drives and walks, and
not the New York of later years,
with it's growing wealth and pros
perity. 1t is the spirituelle New
York. 1t is the New York of Cooper,
of Bryant, of Stoddard, of Haw'
thorne, of Bancroft, of Holland OF
Halleck and Woodwork, of Willis
and Drake, of Clarke, of Dledrlch
Knickerbocker, the Dutch Herodotus
Here in our memories live Irving anc
Paulding. Here Talleyrand taught
Here lived Charles Brockden Brown
the first American to adopt litera-
ture as sole profession, and here
was given to the world those en-,
chanting creations of fiction that leo
BalZac to say j. Fenimore Cooper
wrote the first typical American nov
ell. Here it was that Poe's genius
gave to us "The Raven" and here IL
was, in the dingy and serpentine
Pearl street, that John Howard
Payne first saw the light of day, and
who wears afterward, while i'll anc
wanderer in a foreign land, wrote
the lines of that tender lyric, III lone
Sweet Home" that made him and his
horne immortal.

lowed haunts of Sleepy Hollow and
his tomb.
At City Hall park we may rest in
the open where the 'Mad Poet" Nc
Donald Clarke, passed long hours OF
darkness, and where he composed
those lines, which alone would en-
title him to Immortality:
might dropped her sable curtain down
And pinned it with a star"
But our path along these old
haunts will not always lead us
through sadness. We shall pass the
sites of many merry meeting places.
In New street was the store OF Wi
ley, the publisher, in whose back
room-designated ''The Den" by
Cooper-Dunlap, Percival, Paulding.
Halleck and many other men OF let
ters met daily in much the same
manner and spirit that English au-
thors met in Murray's drawing room
in London. Just above the tall Park
Row building that stands on the site
of the old Park theater was Dyde's
fashionable London hotel" which
was the resort of Irving and his jolly
''Cockloft Hail. coterie, and was
made celebrated in the lines:
ITO riot at Dyde's on imperial champagne
| And then scour the city-the peace to
maintain"
| In Franks restaurant, which has
long since given way to an office
building, the literary men of the day
met and discussed affairs of the
time, and it was once as famous in
America as Willis Coffee house was
in England. Along the then fashion,
able promenade, where Willis walked
1.-The best dressed man on Broad
way" we come to the corner of
Reade street, the meeting place Of
| the Bread and Cheese club-where IN
voting for membership bread was
| the affirmative ballot and cheese the
negative. Below here, in Chambers
street. was the Office and residence
Of Dr. John w. Francis, where the
most distinguished of the literary
men and women of the world have
| been entertained.
If we go on through Greenwich
| village and Washington square north
to Stuyvesant square, district some
times called the Latin Quarter OF
| New York, we shall find much to in
| terest us and the shrines will be
along our pathway in plenty. We
| shall find traces of the poet Aldrich
| Tom Paine and Bret Harte. We shall
see the glimpses inspired by Henry
| James stories of New York, and we
may spend an evening in the neigh
borhood with Howell's marches. Be-
| yond the shadows of the park we
may see the glowing Gross of Light
of elders poem. Near here Bayard
Taylor lived, and on every block, al
most in every house, we find the old
| homes of those who have made for
lis a great and beautiful literature.

POE COTTAGE AT FORDHAM

stands out more strongly than them
all, and from it's barrenness appeals
most to our sympathies. 1t is the
cottage of Edgar Allan Poe-poor
and denuded, but the only home he
really ever knew. Moved a short
distance from it's original site, it
stands to-day in Fordham, the Mecca
of many lovers of his weird tales and
mystic verse. It was there his wife
died, and it was there, although sur
rounded by poverty and remorse.
that his genius scared to it's highest
flights.
So, with the memory of these
myriads of master minds ever before
us, our spirituelle New York can
never die. And to-day the great mas
ters are building for us anew and
wreathing for themselves other lau-
rels that in years to come our chill
dren may do honor at their shrine.
and recall that there is another be-
side the material New York.
