For a long time the crew has been grumbling at the food ! given them, and Thursday night, accord- ng to them, it was worse than usual. When Stockton was reached ail the long- nmremen quit in a body and the steamer Was tled up for a time. Finally a new crew was secured, but those men are ex- pected to quit as soon as they get back o Stockton, so all the trouble will have | to_be gone over again.

When the abolition struggle came, grotesqueness and earnestness united under the flag for | a great cause and sincerity gained the day. Whittler was the poet of anti-slavery.

DId they go abroad for thelr sub- Jec{e or follow English models? Were they less bound up with their country’s aims and struggles? Not at all: but they represented the element of culture, and it is the mission and special good of cul- ture to be cosmopolitan, to promote understanding and the commerce of literature.

They have the tenderness and grace, the cembination of perfect simplicity and popularity with e tistic expression which mark the lyric at its best: Indeed, they are a successful transplantation of that flower of song to our soil.

Humor, shrewdress and good sense went hand in hand with vigorous versification in the composition of the “Biglow Pa- ers.” He was a.prose writer besides be- ng_a poet, his essays standing like those of Matthew Arnold, in rank and file with hig verse. He was a wit as well, and rec- onciled the world to his country by after- dinner speeches when he represented us at the court of St. James. Since his death he has been shown to us as one of the most delightful of letter writers, and we have another pleasure in store in the com- plete blography which will ere long be glven to the world. Lowell comes so near in many ways to Longfellow that he has slipped in, against the laws of precedence, between the older poet and Oliver Wendell Holmes, the con- temporary of Longfellow. But what fig- ure can more" fittingly close a paper on the golden age of ' American literature than that of poet who, starting almost which is all the use of your piano actually costs you.
