LIFE OF WHITTIER
New Highlander Left Rich Herr
tage of Poetry.
Lives, Events and Legends OF His Sec
ton and Mature His Inspiration
Was Devoted to His Mother
Not Highly Educated.

Hampton Falls, N. Has the years
go by, New Englanders realize more
fully what rich heritage they have
in claiming John Greenleaf Whittier
as their own poet He drew his in
spiration from New England sources
from old legends and traditions,
from scenes in the hardy lives of
primitive people and from the depths
and sweetness of nature.
Whittier had no store OF deeply
grounded education to draw upon. He
had no memories of travel in old and
classic lands. But he could find in the
everyday familiar scenes in his native
New England as poetic beauty and
suggestion as others sought where
Theocritus sang in Sicily, or Catullus
on the shores of Lake Garda in Italy
From the purpose and hope which
brought the pilgrims Of the Mayfiower
to these shores, to New England
husking party. Whittier could write
poems that had imaginative charm.
In his verse there may be found a
complete history of New England
events and the lives of persons who
played part through historic days.
Whittier was one of the striking fig
ures in the days of the civil war, and
in reading his poems of that period
there comes a keen realizing sense Of
what that mighty struggle meant to
those who lived during it's progress.
His 'Snowbound" was written in
1865, and in this mastery piece of
simple verse the poet left abiding
pictures Of his mother, his sister
Elizabeth and his Aunt Mercy.
Whittier was devoted to his mother,
and she lived till her son was fifty
years old. Between him and his sister
Elizabeth there was entire sympathy
and the strongest affection. She made
his home a happy one, with her con-
genial, loving spirit and the bright
sparkle of a wit that Whittier en-
joyed keenly

~W WASHINGTON.- is posi-
WAk BILE, some people would say
kW probable, that the Battle of
V Gettysburg changed utterly
the course Of American his
tory. 1t was great fight between
armies of Americans, for probably
fully ninety per cent. of the men who
fought on the two sides were born
natives to the American soil. The
bravery shown at Gettysburg was of
the order which Americans have
shown on every field and which re-
fleets credit upon the hardy and
heroic ancestry of the men engaged,
no matter from what race they may
have sprung.
At Gettysburg there was nothing to
choose between the valor of the North
and the South. The South lost the
fight, but it lost it honorably and
with the prestige of its soldiery un-
dimmed The charges made on that
field have gone down into history as
assaults made under conditions which
every, man felt might mean death at
the end. The defenses made at Gettys-
burg were Of the kind which 1t takes,
iron in the blood to make perfect. At
Gettysburg Northerners and South
erners replenished their store of re-
spect for their antagonists. The bat
tie marked the high tide Of the war
between the states. After it the
South largely was on the defensive,
but its defense was maintained with
fortitude and in the face Of privations

The great battle of Charlottesville
was fought not long before the oppos-

that the victory should be followed up

military men say always adds sub
tie something to the lighting quality
which is In any man. Some authori-
ties have said that there were 100000
men In the Confederate forces at Get

Union troops. Another authority says
that the Confederate force was $4,000
and the Union force $4,000. AS 1t was
the armies were pretty nearly equally
divided in strength.
In June. 1863, General Robert e.
Lee began to move northward. Lee

to be followed by General Hooker's
army and SO General Stuart with a
large force Of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front Of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit Of the Con-

Late in June the Confederate force
