XVIL “lwuseh& His mother was not in strong It must have been in 1830 that I first | health and his training fell much into heard the name of Oliver Wendell [Bands of an oider sister. a charming Holmes. I was a little boy seven or eight years old. The country had just turned from the Presi- archy, which, by taking a Western candidate and electing a Western President, had put New Eng- land upon the back seats again, soug some fit opportunity to slap New England in the face. With an ingenuity almost Machiavel- llan, the Secretary of the Navy, whoever he was, acting in this amiable view, an- nounced that the Government was going to break up the frigate Constitution, called for convenience “The Old Frig- ate.” In truth, she was hardly thirty years old; she had been launched in Bos- ton. In a generation she had revolution- ized naval warfare. She had fought with success in many battles; she had escaped as by a miracle from hostile fleets. But she was a John Adams frigate, Massa- chusetts bullt and Massachusetts salled. To break her up before a generation of the men who built her had died, just as the younger Adams had been turned out ot office, would be a good token that the reign of the Adamses of New England was indeed finished. So the order was given that Old Iron- sides, as she was calied famuliarly, should be broken up. This order roused Oliver Wendell Holmes with a theme worthy of him. He went up irto his little attic room in the old Cambridge parsonage, the house which was General Ward's neadquarters in the siege of Boston. On the roadway below Prescott's regiments had formed on their way to Bunker Hill, and the par- =on had offered prayers to the god of bat- tle. Holmes shut himself into his litie room and wrote his immortal ode: Nall to the mast her holy flag, Spread every threadbare sail, ive her to the God of storms, Iightning and the gale. Holmes was a lad of 2l. He took the ode, hot from his pen, to the office of the Daily Advertiser, of which paper my father was the editor. Of course the Ad- vertiser published the poem. It flew all over the country. The “harpies of the land” were frightened, cowed and blinded, and. the order was revoked. The Con- stitution is afloat to-day. We saved her from Annapolis in the days of the rebel- lion, and now she lies a shrine for wor- ship in Boston harbor, as the vessel of Theseus lay at Athens. Well, my mother was always on the Iookout for ‘“‘pieces” for us boys to speak when Saturday came round, and so and I was made to learn it and to speak it. That was the way in which in thuse | hae,” “Nelson and the North,” “Down to the Dust With Them,” “The Turk Was Dreaming of the Hour” and other like lydes which did them no harm. And this I first knew the name of Oliver Wen- dell Holmes. I used to tell him after- ward that I was the first of a million boys room stage, and I better for it, But when I saw him first our conditions were reversed. It was in 1836, and I was in college. His reputation was assured now. He was the young poet of the time. People knew what he could do, and to us think he liked me the Harvard. Fru-luales and undergraduates in the hundredth anniversary of ‘“fair Har- vard's” birth, he was our hero among the eat men of the oceasion. Webster, verett, Story, Shaw—these were great men; but we wanted to hear Holmes, and for us he bore away the laurels. The little man answered the call for “Holmes! Hclmes!" and recited that very funny poem: And who was in the catalogue When college first begun? Two nephews of the president And the professor's son. Sometimes the entering ciass was small, And sometimes there was none. Lord! How the seniors kicked about That freshman class of one. 1 may say in passing that I have often | been at one or another dinner party whers | he spoke, where the audienge made him | tand in his chair or even on the table | so that they mishl see him and hear him | the better. And, indeed, one does not | know his odes at ‘their best unless one has heard him deliver them. I will not say re- cite or declaim them, for it was always | nlbove and beyond recitation and declama- tion. He loved Cambridge and the college and | well forward I had, as I sald, by accident In making sure of the right people for guests I wrote to Holmes and asked him to remember the day, to which request I received a very funny answer. He could not come and would not. He was tired of being tapped for verses, like a cider cask for cider, whenever an anniversary came any longer. To which I replied at once: ““Who sald anythingabout verses? Not I! I was embarrassed with riches already. I had Longfellow and both Quincys, and I know not how many others. But the boys would want to seé him, and all that I wanted of him was to sit" at the cross table and let them look at him: he need not say a word. As quick as the two let- | ters could go and come I had his answer. It read something like this: | Dear Hale: Pomona ...| . 2 pm|Pler § | without my reading some verse is ridiculous. I Pt.

The “Biglow Papers” would come in, of course; Mrs. Howe's “Battle Hymn" 'and six or eight good marching songs of the civil war. To this anthology, perhaps, Holmes would furnish the m. But the best of our his- torical ballads, in fact one of the best of the modern ballads. none of which are French fleet. Holmes and Lowell were ten years apart in age. Holmes liked to say that 1809, the ear of his birth, was 100 years after the Xue of Sam Johnson's birth. He pretend- ed to regard It as an “annus mirabilis.” It was the year in which Gladstone was born. This was always In a sort of hub- bling fun, in which he was at his best, in which there was not the least fleck of con- ceit or vanity. He and Lowell were both Cambridge boys, and in a way were able to link together personally the old war days of 177> with the war days of 1861 In the Cambridge gardens of those days were, as there are now, the wrecks of Putnam’s and Ward's intrenchments. We used to point out staples in the ceiling in Massachusetts ball from which we pre- tended that soldiers' hammocks hung when the cnll:ge bulldings were barracks. | At West Cambridge they showed bullets | of the day of Lexington In the timbers of the wooden houses. Lowell was born within a mile of Holmes' birthplace ten years after him. He never remembered a time when he did not know Holmes, and he was among the eager group of boys who heard with de- “fi‘“ Beta K: olmes’ Phi ppa 'm.

It involves a cer- tain moral. It suggests the competition between the goddess of work, whoever she may be, and a half dozen other muses, more or less, who preside on such try as thelrs, a competition which ected | the life of Lowell—as of Holmes—I think not unfavorably.

There is | a_ certain_rule, stern as those of the Medes and Persians, that no word of the after-dinner speaking shall ever go inta print, so that you have men of every sort of frame ready to talk to each other with the freedom of so many sophomores at a college dinner table. In making my prep- arations for this dinner party the advice ven me, with a certain bitterne: hould not “trot out the old war horses.” To which I replied: ‘‘Really, the ‘old war horses’ are not a bad set. I | can have Longfellow ané Charles Francis | Adams and Holmes—and all but Lowell. And let me tell you that the aay Lowell graduated we knew as well as we know now that he was going to_be one of the | leading poets of his time. If you will tell me who is going to be the leading poet of his time among the youngsters who will graduate here next Wednesday I will call him out.” T am fond of telling this story because it shows definitely the early period at which he had impressed us all with a sense of his power. Mr. Higginson, In his charming remin- iscences of that time, says he remembers the interest with which the boys of his own age heard that James Lowell was not going to be a lawyer, but was going to be a poet. The mere idea that any- body In the world should say that poetry was to be his vocation and that other work was to be what ple like to call an avocation in these days surprised and Interested a set of bright fellows like young Higginson and his companions. ut without anything like arrogance this determination was made. That is to say, after he had studied law—studied it care- fully—and had_opened an office in good faith, to show his friends that he was not | beyond work or above it, Lowell deter- | mined that he would give himself to lit- | erature as his duty. He corresponded with the journals most advanced in the politics of that time— which meant with the anti-slavery jour- nals. Some of his best work was written | for them, and it is quite worth while for the young gentlemen and ladies who are | reading this to try to hunt up in the files | of the old newspapers of that day papers | of his which have not been brought to- | gether in collections of his published writings. At that time I was very intimate with him personally. I saw him almost every day of his life, and I like to testify to the firm habit of work which he had al formed, which as an_underlying founda- tion Is responsible for his success in life. | Do not let any of the young authors who | read this think they are to work spas- | modically or when the fancy takes them. | He says somewhere that he gave fifteen | Launfal” and & - ' hours a day to his duties as an editor. It is impossible to attempt here any de- tall of Lowell's work. These papers do not involve any study of his methods or | of the secret of his successes. It | enough to say that for the | Civil War and the years which follow: it his literary life is all mixed up with the life of a conscientious leader of the goople. He was editor of the Atlantic Monthly and of the North American Re- view—sometimes editor of both at the same time. Besides the regular work of an editor he was writing forcible articles on the duties of the men of the | States. If poetry helped in this work he wrote poetry. If men needed prose he wrote prose. It is one of the good traditions of our Government that in Europe we shall be represented by some men who have won their spurs in literature. Mr. Lowell, however, declined all the four great for- eign _missions—Russia, France, Germany | and England. But he said to somebody in rivate that if they had offered him Spain e thought he could not have resisted the temptation. Such an expression was, of o repeated in Washington. and 'the | | riod of Goverrment “at once offered him He went to Spain, and they found, | have sometimes supposed to their great sur- rise, that they got businesslike letters rom him of great value and interest.

Some of his public addresses, especially that on democracy, may be spoken of as standard statements of what a republic means and what it stands for. 1 have been glad to see that the address on democracy is used as a textbook in the classes in some of our better colleges.
