To get an idea of it, read his charming prose sketches of home and rural life, and such poems as the whimsical, enigmatical "Demon of the Study, " as well as "The Pumpkin, " "To My 172 PERSONAL. Old Schoolmaster, " and the "Double- Headed Snake of Newbury. " These poems almost equal Holmes's for rich and riant humor. It is not so well known as it ought to be that the author of " Snow-Bound " has as deep a love of children as had Longfellow. Before the Bearcamp House was burned to the ground in ...1880, Mr. Whittier used sometimes to come up from Amesbury with a whole bevy of little misses about him, and at the hotel the wee folk hailed him as one of those dear old fellows whom they always love at sight. It is said that Edward Lear the friend of Tennyson, and author of " Nonsense Verses " for children used to make a hobby-horse of himself in the castles of Europe, and treat his little friends to a gallop over the carpet on his back. If Mr. "Whittier never got quite so far as this in juvenile equestrianism, he has at least equally endeared himself to the children who have had the good fortune to look into his loving eyes and enjoy the sunshine of his smile.
