principles. In 1840 he removed to Amesbury, Mass., where he resided until about 1878, cultivating a small farm. In 1847 he became corresponding editor of the National era, an anti-slavery paper published at Washington, D. C. Mr. Whittier was a thoroughly American poet, and most of his verses were inspired by current events. The spirit of humanity, democracy, and patriotism expressed in his poems and prose writings made the public regard him with reverential affection. He died in Hampton Falls, N. H., Sept. 7, 1892. The Centennial hymn. The following hymn by Mr. Whittier was sung at the opening of the Centennial Exposition in 1876: Our fathers' God from out whose hand The centuries fall like grains of sand, We meet to-day, united, free, And loyal to our land and Thee, To thank Thee for the era done, And trust Thee for the opening one. Here, where of old, by Thy design, The fathers spake that word of Thine, Whose echo is the glad refrain Of rended bolt and falling chain, T

Unless you wish heirloom to be substituted for freehold, I will retain the latter as the original. Whittier was taken with his last illness while visiting at the house of his friend, Miss Sarah A. Gove of Hampton Falls, N. H., seven miles from Amesbury. Miss Gove was the daughter of an old friend; of that saintly woman whom we associate with one of the most spiritual and beautiful of his poems, A Friend's Burial. Fields's Whittier, p. 101.

He was conscious to the last, was grateful to every one; and sever
