poems of Burns in the Whittier kitchen
and left the book in the hands of the lis
tening boy.
The hOmely manual labor upon which
he was employed was, in part, the founda-
ton Of that deep interest which the poet
never ceased to take in the toll and plain
fortunes of the people. Throughout his
poetry runs this golden thread of SYM
pathy with honorable labor and enforced
poverty, and many poems are directly in
spired by it, His outdoor life let him into
some of the secrets of nature. and Burns
gave him the hint how to find poetry in
common things. But above all the Bible
was the treasury from which he drew a
store of fine English and a deep sense of
the nearness of God to man.
While he was at work with his father
he sent poems to neighboring newspapers
and began to- attract attention by his
verses. A new academy was to be opened
at Haverhill when he was nineteen years
old, and the editor of the Haverhill paper
offered to give him a home while he
studied there. He had no money with
which to pay for his schooling. but he
learned quickly how to make a cheap kind
of slipper, and was so Industrious that
in few months he had earned enough to
pay his expenses at the academy for six
months. So closely did he calculate that
at the beginning Of the term he reckoned
that he should have % cents left over
He paid his way and had Just quarter
of dollar left over. 1t was the rule of
his life never to buy anything till he had
the money in hand to pay for it, and
though he was pinched for means and had
hard struggle up to middle life, he never
was in debt. 49,.
After year or SO at the academy he
had the opportunity to be editor of Bos-
ton weekly paper. and afterward edited
for a while a paper in Hartford. He was
much interested in politics, and when a
young man was talked of for Congress
But at this time. when he was apparently
at the beginning of a career as public
man. he threw away his chance by allying
himself with the anti-slavery agitators,
who for many years were denounced by
both the great political parties and used
their influence chiefly outside of the par
fes. When Whittier threw himself into
this cause. however, he found his voice.
Before he had been writing smooth,
agreeable poetry, which was much like
other poetry of the day and had no great
distinction; but now he was set on fire by
his indignation at the great wrong done
by slavery. and he began to pour out
verses which were like trumpet blast.

Soon after the death of Whittier. the late
James H. Carleton purchased the home
stead at East Haverhill and transferred
it to board of trustees, composed of
members of the Whittier Club of Haver-
hill. In the deed of gift Mr.. Carleton ex-
pressed the wish that the natural features
of the landscape might be preserved, the
buildings restored as nearly as possible
to their original condition, and access to
them given to the public. that thereby
the memory of and love for the poet and
the man may be cherished and perpetu-
ated." Mr.. Alfred A. Ordway was named
as president of the board of trustees, and
he took charge of the restoration of the
house and grounds, his aim being to
bring the estate into a condition as nearly
as possible resembling that of eighty
years ago. He found and restored to their
old places many Of the articles of furni-
ture which were in the house in Whit
tiers youth. The house is now open to
the public on certain days of each week,
and thousands of visitors make pilgrim
age to the scene of 'Snow-Bound,' an
electric car line which passes the spot
making it easy of access. -.

Nobler than any fact
My wish that failed Of act.

Others shall right the wrong

From "My Psalm. :"
BY ]. G.. WHITTIER.

All as God Wills. who wisely heeds
To give or to withhold.
And knOweth more Of all my needs
Than all my prayers have told!
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have marked my errfgg track;
That wheresoe'er my feet have swerved
His Christening turned me back:
That more and more a Providence
OF love is understood.
Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good:
ThatSde seems but a covered way
Which opens into light.
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight;
That care and trial seem at last.
Through Memory's sunset air.
Like momtain-ranges oyerpast,
In purple distance fair;
That all the jarring notes of life
Seem blending In psalm.
And all the angles of its strife
Slow rounding into calm.
And SO the shadows fall apart,
And SO the west-winds play;
And all the windows of my heart
l open to the day.

John Greenleaf Whittier, distinguished

envy; worked on farm, taught school in

lean Manufacturer at Boston. In 1890 he

Review Of Hartford. He was a leading
opponent of slavery; became secretary of
the American Anti-Slavery Society in
1896. and went to Philadelphia. where he
edited the Pennsylvania Freeman. He
was several times attacked by mobs on

In a number of his poems he drew his
material from the relation held between
the Indians and the settlers. His SYM
pathy was always with the prosecuted
and oppressed, and SO while historically
he found an object of pity and a subject
his profoundest compassion and most
stirring Indignation were called out by
African slavery. 1t is not TOO much to
say that in the slow development of pub
lie sentiment Whittier's steady song was
one of the most powerful advocates that
the slave had. all the more powerful that
it was free from malignity or unjust accu-
sation.
His fondness for story has led him to
use the ballad form in many cases, such
as Mabel Martini, Skipper Iresons
Ride" and Mary Garvin.' The catholic
mind of this writer and his instinct for
discovering the pure moral In human ac-
ton are disclosed by number of poems,
drawn from a wide range of historical
fact. dealing with great variety of re-
hgious faiths and circumstances of life,
but always pointing to some sweet and
strong truth of the divine life. OF such
are THE Brother of Mercy" 1.-THE Gift of
Tritemius," The Two Rabbins" and 9TH
ers.

Not only so. but singing these real war
songs he learned the very art of poetry.
and then all his love for nature and man
and God found expression in beautiful
poems which had nothing TO do with
slavery. No American writer, unless Irv-
ing be excepted, has done so much to
throw graceful veil of poetry and legend
over the country of his daily life. Essex
county in Massachusetts and the beaches
lying between Newburyport and Ports
mouth blossom with flowers of Whittier's
planting; the region approaching the
White mountains is warm with the color
he has thrown on hill and lake and forest.
He has made rare use of the homely
stories he heard in his childhood or
learned afterward from familiar inter-
course with country people, and he has
himself used invention delicately and in
harmony with the spirit of the New Eng
land coast Although of body of men
who in earlier days had been prosecuted
by the Puritans of New England, his gen.
erous mind did not fail to detect all the
good that was in the stern creed and life
of the prosecutors and to bring it forward
into the light of his poetry.
