OF nineteen. now-was out in the road
side helping his father to repair
stone fenc-. the postman came down
the road and handed John the latest
copy of the newspaper. Imagine the
young mans establishment to open the
paper and find verse with his name
signed to it staring at him from the
page!
Thus it was that Whittier made his
first appearance in print. Soon after
this he became editor of newspaper
and. all through the days before the
Civil War he did all that he could in
his quiet unwarlike way to bring the
evils Of slavery before the minds of
the people. Many of his verses were
aimed to point the way from the evil
of slavery to the glory of freedom for
all men. That he was kind and good
and sincere one cannot doub. after
reading his poems, and that he with
his pen fought well for the cause OF
freedom for the slaves is confirmed by
the great power his writings had in
touching the conscience of the Amer
lean people.
His verses are beautiful-full OF a
love for his fellow man and crowned
by noble implicitly for which this
Quaker poet was marked in all his
deeds through all his life.

AA ANY men are noted as heroes

free the negro from the yoke
Aof slavery. but few with their
swords In war-lke manner accom-
plished. more than did Whittier. the
Quaker Poet with his mighty pen. The
boy Whittier. had great longings and
ambitions. but most of the things for
which he longed could be obtained
only with the aid OF learning. and so
poor were his parents that all study
time was denied him. One day he
determined that If the money for his
education could be procured no other
way he would get to work and earn
1t himself. and so he hired himself
In the summer to a farmer and N tie
winter to a shoemaker and thus by
dint OF hard work and careful saving.
he managed to collect enough money
TO carry him through two terms CT
six months at the school near his
home.
His father who was a strict Quaker
had no patience with Johns love
verses and his dreamy ways. He was
poor and thrifty and he feared the
boys reading of verses ard his tire

metres would lead 10 idleness and
shiftlessness that would be of no good
