THE POET WHITTIER.
How He Met His Only Love and How
They 0rifted Apart.

How ne Met His Only Love and How
They Drifted Apart.
John Greenleaf Whittier was one OF
the sweetest yoets that this country or
any other has ever produced, and this
fri spite Of the fact that he was doom
ed To live ana die d bachelor.
In the spring Of 1928, when the poet
was about twenty years old, be did his
first and last counting.
In the quaint old town Of Marble
head, In the home of well to do ship
naste% dwelt Eyclina Bray, the ship
masters daughter. Evelina was sweet
sixteen as pretty as a peach and as
pure as the wood violcts with which
she loved to decorate her hair, and
with the wiusome, modest maiden
Whittier fell desperately Id love.
During the aforementioned spring
time as the flowers were creeping up
from under the snow and the land
seape was taking on its FIRST delicate
touches Of the summer to come young
Whittier went down to Marbiehead
found EyeIina and told her Of the sen
fiment that he could no longer conceal
TO his JOY he learned that the senti-
ment was rcciprocated
But the course Of true lore did not
yet run smooth" and 1t was already
decreed that Whittier's was to be a
.1est 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 Whittierss parents as well as
Whittier himself were Of the strictest
sect OF the Quakers, in whose eyes d
piano was an emblem OF sin and music
the sure and certain mark Of wicked
ness.
Between these opposite, antagonistic
and incorporating views Of things
there was no concord possible. Whit
tier knew it. Eyelina knew il, and, like
the philosophers that they We're, they
concluded TO say no more TO each other
upon the tender subject-and they new
or did
Five years later. IN 1898, 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 1885, at a 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 were now old. The
rose had faded from Eyellna's check,
and into her lovers face wrinkles had
stolen. and upon his head old Time
had left his rlme.
But the heart never grows old; love
II immortal immortality young ana
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
m tcnderest grace 81 soul and form
On mcmcrys freEcocd wall
A shadow and yet all.

hailed from various parts farther

One day the captain Of the American
ship paid a visit to the commander Of
d British man-o'-war at anchor in the
same harbor. The cockswain Of the GIG
was a great lanky seaman, whose
backbone was so rounded as to form a
veritable lump. While the boat rested
at the gangway Of the visited vessel
the English sailors gathered IN the
open ports and took stock In rather
dIgdainful fashion Of the,occupants OF
the gig. At last the seaman OF the

"'Ello, there, Yankeel say. what's
