BRYANT'S POETIC CAREER.
Two Facts About His Greatest Work,
"Thanatopsis."

lnanatopSlS,
Bryant was nearly twenty three
years old when "Thanatopsis" was first
printed in the North American Review.
So much has been said about the as
founding precocity of this poet and so
many errors have accumulated around
the publication Of his masterpiece that
it may be well to state the facts.
We know just two facts about this
work. First it was published when
Bryant was almost twenty -three-not
young for poetic genius; second. that
In its original published form in the
North American Review it is not re-
markable poem
1t was in the 1921 edition of Bryant's
poems, when the author was twenty
six or twenty seven. that the work first
appeared in its universally known
form. Only few minor changes were
made after that date. This disposes of
the generally accepted statement that
"Thanatopsis" is juvenile master
piece.
Bryant was, however, precocious
poet. although his precocity is not dis
played in his greatest work. One of
the most extraordinary facts about his
poetical career is that he actually pub
lished verse during the administration
Of Thomas Jefferson and during the
administration of Rutherford B. Hayes.
So long a period and so slender an out
put speak well for his fastidious taste.

live ones. The informality, the spirit
of good fellowship and that intangible
which is characteristic Of
Elkdom and Elkdom alone was much
felt. Stepping into the hall, the visit
ors paused involuntariiy with exclama-

the local Elks, with trifiing assistance
from the sterner sex, transformed the

At the west end of the hall, bull elk

Wednesday evening, while the sheriff

where the conduct of the prisoner
makes such custom seem unsafe.
