BY JOHN GREENLEAHr WHITTIER.
This poem Of Winters was written be-
fore anything of his was ever published
and has never been in print. This was
written, as IS shown by the Quaker
date, only q short time after the news
of the death OF Alexander 1st reached
this country, and before Whittier had
any other educational ADVANTAGE than
the district school. Alexander had the
reputation of encouraging the introduce
ticn OF western civilization in his en-
p1re. and he abolished serfdom in the
Baltic provinces. His part IN curbing
the ambition Of Napoleon was probably
uppermost in the Quaker boys mind
when he wrote these lines, which are
the earliest extant in his own hand
