characteristic notice of the
growing things" that fill so much
of our vision and yet that the half
of us never see. He sets them
forth wildly sometimes. Those of
us who live on the peninsula be-
tween the bays Cor even little

of the Spring which he gives us in
the exquisite poem-"Peach Bios
som''-one of Mrs. Taylor's favor
ties
cover the southern slope in the
heat and hurry of hope
The wands of the peach-tree first
into rosy beauty burst
And the soft, half-Syrian air
flows from the Chesapeake's
Inlets and coves and creeks on the
fields of Delaware
Oh! the peach and the poet know
indeed the chill, the glow,
And the token Of golden days"
When Taylor went to New
York, it was to the Tribune and to
Horace Greeley, who had been a
friend to the poet ever since he
had gone as a tinid youth to ask
o. Ju1u MoUe o. IolIp7 ls9I5 qua
write letters for the Tribune while
on his travels through Europe.
The request had been granted, as
had similar ones to other papers,
and a sum of money advanced to
help defray the expenses of the
Journey. A slim little book of
poems had been printed and sold
to his friends, which also helped
in the outfit.
The Letters appeared in the
Tribune and Saturday Evening
Post and were very popular, being
afterward largely incorporated in
"Views A-foot." Bayard Taylor
remained with the Tribune as cor
respondent, writer and assistant
editor till the close of his life,
giving the paper much of it's high
literary tone. I should like to
speak of the genial hospitality OF
the master of Cedarcroft, of his
devoted love for his many friends
and the warm affection they gave
him. No man could have hac
' closer friends. When young
man in New York, he drew arounC
him rare circle of bright, con
e genial spirits. A reflex of thu
: life of that coterie is glimpsed IL
"John Godfrey's Fortunes"
y In Boston, later, James T
9 Fields, the genial publisher ant
! writer, said of him to friend
i Dear Bayard Taylor, we neve

of the close family feeling that h

as To Bayard himself their exu
cd erance of enjoyment recalled h
in own first pleasure in those expei
adj ences in all it's freshness. so Tn
vs. it was a double delight. The cid

he returned with him to his natl

in there their children were born.
