BIRTHDAY EXERCISES AT AMESBDEI
AS1ESB0EY-, Mass., Dec. 17. The mem
ory of the poet, John Greenleaf Whittier,
was honored here to-day. This is the anni
versary of his birth, and, according to a
custom of many years" standing, the day
was observed with appropriate exercises.
Many people Irom out of town attended,
and among them were writers of national
reputation. The exercises were conducted
in the Opera House, which was crowded to
the doors. Orations were delivered,
sketches of the poet's life and selections
from his writings were read.
Bat the leading feature of the event was
the reading by Prof. J. AV. Churchill, of
Andover, of the iollowing poems written in
honor of the great poet for the occasion:
On heavenly ramparts, loud and clear.
Shrill, shrill and sweet, aud earthward
bounding.
Glad salutations to their peer,
To-day the trumpets should he sounding.
Iu many a wido and winding chord
Such music once, uciore they blew him,
VThen he, the trumpet of the Lord,
Ausneied tlie Lord's breath blowing
through him.
To-day. through interspace of night,
Undying dawn and vernal foice.
Hailed iu a hueness more than lisht,
lie sings, ho springs to song's far source.
Oh, michty as the battle blast,
And solt as wings in summer stealing!
A srieat voice on the outer vase.
What wondrous stiains he now is peal
ing! HjUUIlET rRESCOTT fcPOFrOED.
"JOHN GUEEM-EAF WHITTIEB, A CIT1ZKX OF

A single, noble, unpioteiidingman
IVho built his life upon hit Maker's plan;
Tim man that God intended lie should be.
He was and is, O men of Amesbury,
W ith him you shared the sunshine and free
air,
His townsmen honorable name to bear.
His memory ith you best of liie must blend:
To every one of you he a tnena.
The beai t that thtobbed to his moie nobly

Grand simuld the manhood be that -walks

And on tliv ear the murmurs blet

Beneatn that Tree of Lifo w hicli gives
To all the earth its healing leaves.
In the white robe of angels clad.
And wanrlennir by that sacred river,
TVhose streams of holiness make glad.

Thou cracious dead, that last year was so

How shall 1 sins thy worth to written line!
Higher than most men's highest, and

TVith heaven' own blessod wisdom, thou
didst strive
To make men happy, cqnal, cood ana free;
To aid the tolling, comlort the ais res't.
And we, thy mends, weie we not doubly
