" Whittier suffered train physical disa- biiitit's-only those who k-new him well ever suspected how much , or how seriously' these aeeted the exercise of his great powers. He was but a wretched sleeper ; usually- . his biographer tells us , awake before - fore dawn , and ae'customed to sleep with his curtain raised , that he might watch the movement of the sunrise. It will be reme'm- bered bow touchingly hit old habit wrought upon him , on the day when he fell into his last sleep , when the nurse would have drawn the shade to darken the room , and he feebly waved hIs hand to order it raIsed again , that he might not lose the final sunrise - rise of his life. His love of nature was always something - thing exquisite and as fresh as a lad's to his last hour. I dud his letters to me full of such touches 'as these : "These November chay'e of Indian ruin- met make me happy that I have lIved to see , them. " "I am glad to be permitted once more to see' the miracle of spring. " Again I find the page sprInkled with magnolia buds , hepatit'as and vio1et , and "when the golden dandelion comes , It will be really spring. I would rgther see the flocers In the world beyond than the golden streets we are told of. " But I am borrowing even these few cx- tracts from a Previous publication of his letters , whIch I have no right to reproduce in any fullness here. I have often heard him say that he called five hours' sisal ) a fine night's rest ; and br weeks at a time be' would be unable to write more than a few stauzas , or a few Ilnea , He worked under severer physical limitations than any other of the great writers of our country ; yet how wholesome , bow genial , how brave hIs work ! 'Ue gave the people of hia best. His worst he kept. his bcat he gave. " Like other solitary lives oX the hIgher CaSte , his thIef happiness was in his friend- shIps. Of these he had many among thc' elect spirits. and be sustained them with remarkatile fidelity' . I sometimes used to think that ho found it almost too hard to criticise any of hi frIendr , or to give us irlendly blame ; but if so , be atoned for that by the stimulating , northsesterly courage - age which he was sure to have in store for us ; always giving us faith In ourselves , anti in our own stork. And. iude'od. he could smite lile the angel or exile when lie would , Of this we need no other titocas than his famous Iloem on tianiel Webster , "Ichabod. " Though it is but just to say that I heard hIm during the last years of his life lament , if he did not tiulte repent , that liocin. "I am afraid I was too severe , " be would say. "Do thee think I was ? " In memorable contrast to that of our great hermit ran the life of the Deacon Street poet. Oliver W'endell Holmes Yet the' two were frIends in the genuine sense of the word. Whittier's seclusion held many' of hIs friendships o by a scepter as dlIeate , but as definite , as the frosted fronds of one of his own pine boughs. flut in the ease of Dr. homes I know that the mutual attraction was a- feetlonate and real. "We are wore than literary friends , " Whittier once said to me of the autocrat. j " 'e love each other.

The completed monument is pronounced by competent crItIcs to be a rare work of art , and Is a marked departure from the Irouze statues which adorn publIc parks and sruares.

Mr. O'Reilly's life was ma'ked , with that ardent love of liberty 'which has caused the impoverishment of Ireland and the enrIchment - ment of other countries with the brawn and brain of the sea-gIrt isle. Youthful en- thusiaxm at hnme , followed try bantahment to Britain's penal colonies , his thruling escape - cape to America , his early' struggles and subsequent trIumphs , are milestones of a biography more entertaining and edifying than reams of fiction. O'ReIlly was born June ! S , 2S44 , in South Castle , on the bank of the historic Bo'ne , near Drogheda. His family is one of the most ancient and clearly historic of old Gaelic famIlies. and no Irishman could have a inure definite' descent or one more rich in Story' and tradition than O'Iteilly'c. I-bc was proud of it and had a right to be. It was a lineage of patriots , in the rank of Princes in this earl ) ' feudal day's , later in all positions , but always of representative IrIshmen. In the ardent biography of James Jetlrey Roche' , I published five years ago , there Is a modest share given to this ancestry , and a very' full and absorbingly' interesting cur-'ey of the life of John Boyle O'Reilly. As English soldier. as Fenian conslilfator , us convIct in Australia and as a brilliant and faithful citizen of the l'nited States. records with I truth acid grace thi' reznarlgble tnd in part romantic 'tharacter of the Itoet's life. It Is of course as Poet that O'ReIlly must live- his poetry indeed preserves the best and de'ept'st of his character and life ; in it ar's found his love for Ireland , his arectlon and i honor for America , his extraordinary and noble ulipreelation of the English si'ttlers of Now England , his superb descrilitions of Australian scenery and life. his great and abounding ardor for the advance of human- ity' e' e'rywbere. The're is no book better 'ortb reading in order to comprehend thi' part th Irish race has borne in the history Pr this union. Here was a man who , cheap- log from an English convIct st'ttleenent , came to this country without means and t'ithout frie'nds , but who weir both money' I and multitudes of friends , a good place In the ranks of the newajiaper frateriiity In his lift' and a permanent niche uniting Artier- lean poets in the record of the' future An American poet be was , in the fulle'st signiti- mace , and a poet of Ireland. ue'vt'rtbeierss , I for no other country could have given us such a man as O'Reilly. LEARNING THE ART PRESERVATIVE. l.Yi. to the age of II John IIoy'le attended the school of which his father was muster. Mrs. ORe'illy POSSVed rare intolletetual gifts , and added to these were a generosity' . hospitality and tindnt'cl , of heart which made her beIo'e'd by all. There were live I daughters and thr't'e sons in the family , all of whom displayed to some extent the ; io- etic qualities tltich bore full fruition in John iloyie. He was the soonod son. He had a good constitution and was devoted to out-door sports. His youth was thus jiassed in a benlthiul. intellectual arid romantic atmosphere.
