THE POET WHITTIER.
now He Met His Only Love and How
They prifked Apart.

/
John Greenleaf Whittier was one O,
| the sweetest poets that this country O,
any other h,sa.s ever produced, and this
In spite Of the fact that he was doom
ed to live and die a bachelor.
In the spring Of 1928, when the poet
was about twe,,,, wears old, he did his
first and last counting.
In the quaint old town Of Marble
neao, IN the home of we'll to do ship
master, dWelf Evelina Bray, the ship
masters daGehter. Evelina was ''sweet
SIXTEEN as pretty as a peach and as
pure rs the wood violets with which
she loved to decorate her hair, and
with the winsome, modest nader,
Whittier fell desperately in love.
During the aforementioned spring
time rs the flowers were creeping up
from under the snow and the land
scape was taking on it's first delicate
touches of the summer to come young
Whittier went down to Marblehead
found Eyelina and told her of the SEN
tlment that he could no longer conceal.
TO his JOY he learned that the senti-
ment was reciprocated.
But the course of true love did not
yet run smooth" and it was already
decreed that Whittier's was to be a
'Iost love"
The shipmaster of Marblehead was a
worldly man, and one Of his chief de
lights when on shore was to hear his
daughter play on the piano and sing,
while Whittier's parents as well as

sect Of the Quakers, In whose eyes a
piano was an emblem Of sin and music
the sure and certain mark Of wicked.
ness.
Between these opposite, antagonistic
and uncompromising views Of things
there was no concord possible. Whit
tier knew it, Evelina knew it, and, like
the philosophers that they were, they
concluded to say no more to each other
upon the tender subject-and they new
er did.
Five years later, in 1888, the couple
met again. but no word was spoken of
the affection that each knew was in
the others heart. 1t was the meeting
OF friends, that was all. .."
1t was not until 1886, at class re-
union at the Haverhill academy, that
the poet and his sweetheart again stood
face to face. Since he had last be-
held her fifty-two years had rolled
away. The two We're now old. The
rose had faded from Evelina's cheek,
and into her lovers face wrinkles had
stolen, and upon his head old Time
had left his rhine.
But the heart never grows old; love
is tmmortal-immortality young and
fresh-and, parting from his old love
forever, the poet went home to write
the touching lines
Look forth once more through space and
time
And let thy sweet shade fall
In tenderest grace of soul and form
On memory's frescoed wall
A shadow and yet all.

No STAGE Murders In Turkey.

On one point the Turkish censor of
the drama is indeXible-there shall be
no murder committed on the stage.
This is in order to prevent corruption
by evil example. Consequently the
dramatic effect of many plays Is some
what marred by the manner In which
principals destined to be murdered are
rushed off the stage and, after re-
ceiying the fatal thrust out Of sight
of the audience, stagger back from
the wings to sing their death songs.

Daniel Webster.
When Webster
first tried to
speak, he failed
and burst into
tears.
ERHAPS the crisis in Daniel
km| Webster's career was reached
Il just after his admission to the
BY J. Fl. EDGE TON.

Il just after his admission to the
bar, when he was offered a
court clerkship. At that time he was
very poor and had shown little of the
wonderful oratorical ability which aft
erWard distinguished him. The tender
OF such place was therefore a sore
temptation. Webster, however, decid-
ed not to take 1t, stating that he in
tended to say things himself, not sim
ply write things that other people said.
He began practicing in a small New
Hampshire town and remained a citi-
zen Of that state many years before
he was finally discovered" and in
duced to locate in Boston. When Web
ster first tried to speak, he failed and
burst into tears. This was while he
was still in school. So shy was he that
ne could scarcely arise to recite It
took will power and perseverance to
overcome such a defect, and it was only
the fact that he felt his own great pow
ers that finally enabled him to succeed.
Even after he had overcome his
timidity the battle was only half won.
His first efforts were ornate and high
rounding, but contained little sub
stance. One local critic said they were
full OF emptiness" Webster heard
or the criticism, and it cut him, but
he had enough common sense to recog-
n1ze the Justice of the structure and to
profit by it. He resolved never again
to indulge in mere oratory for it's own
sake and to speak only when he had
something to say.
AS boy on the farm Webster did
not like to work, but when he got into
his own field he was on occasions a
prodigious worker. When in school,
he was given hundred lines of Vir-
gil to memorize. All night he worked
and when called upon to repeat what
he had learned, not only did 50, but
asked leave to give another hundred,
then still another hundred, after which
he stated that he was ready to repeat
500 more.
With the modern Demosthenes"
personal appearance was more than
half the battle.
Are You One?
A cry babys face Is always wet with
tears
A cry baby's heart is always filed with
fears,
A cry baby's mouth is always puckered,
and
Stuffed in Its mouth is the cry baby's
hand.
A cry baby's dress is always soiled with
dirt,
And cry baby thinks that it is always
hurt,
A cry baby cries when there is nothing
wrong,
And cry baby cries when the world Is
filled with song.
A cry baby cries the last thing at night,
And the cry baby cries with the dawn of
mornings light.
Oh. people never say of cry baby he,
Oh, people never say of cry baby she
Is ever very nice, is ever very good,
But I should think that all the children
should
Keep away the frowns and keep away the
tears,
Keep away all things looked upon as
fears,
So folks who know them will never have
to say,
CRY baby. cry baby!'' every blessed day.
