IL was in the honse where whittier
was born. and which is the scene
or 'Snowbound. that the lad had
an experience which ever afterward
made him famous for his simple hon

Whittier, as a youth. often paid sur
reptitious visits to the orchards of
his neighbors. coveting the delicious
cherries that hung on the trees. and
otherwise comported himself in n
way little different from other boys
OF his age.
AS a young man, Whittier was
strikingly handsome and was very
popular with the girls of his ac-
quaintance. although his love affairs
were unfortunate. OF an idealistic
and romantic disposition, It was only
natural That he should at an early
age form deep attachment for
young woman who appealed to the
poetic qualities of his nature. Evelina
Bray was the name of this early
sweetheart of the poet, and in n
room OF the old Whittier home one
may still see enshrined a miniature
of the sweet face OF the girl WHO
won the Quaker poets devotion.
Miss Bray and Whittier were school
mates, meeting when the latter was
- years of age and the former two

years Younger. An early marriage
would probably have followed had
not he families OF both young peo-
pie entered strong objections TO the
match. Poor health and poverty are
the reasons usually given for the
celibacy OF Whittier. but II is more
than likely that respect for his
mothers feelings played a more i'm
portant part. She was an excsed-
ingly devoui Quakeress ana used all
her influence to prevent her son from
forming n matrimonial alliance with
family that was outside the pale OF
the Society OF Friends. The family
of the young woman was equally OPP
posed TO Inc marriage on account OF
young Whittier's extreme poverty.

ings, but these at last ceased. and.
with the heroism of martyrs. the
loving pair agreed 60 go their scpa-
raDe ways alone. IL was a half-cen-
fury later when they met again.
Whittier's former sweetheart was
than the widow OF an English
evangelist named Downey. That the
poets love was lifelong devotion
is manifested by the fact that he
sent money to the evangelist. who
was in poor circumstances. telling
him TO use il in the support of his
wife. Mrs. Downey, hearing OF the
matter. returned the money. The
first meeting of Mrs. Downey and
Whittier In fifty years, and their last
on this earth. was ut a reunion of
