SS'T' HE robins are nesting in the X honeysuckles and the rose- busnes, the catbirds in the lilacs, the wrens in their little boxes, the flickers laugh about the place, the wood- thrushes came yesterday, the orioles are piping in' the elm trees—and we are here, stretching blind hands unto the skies, while ‘From the dumb silence comes no sound’ A nd one can only wonder if the dear “chartless voyager” IS journey ing on, and on, and on.” In this beautiful, natural way—to Robert Loveman, of Dalton, wrote Clara Barrus, after the close of the simple, happy, useful life of John Bur roughs.

Mr. Burroughs was always absorbed in the study of the universe, and in a cheery note to the Dalton poet three or four years before finishing his “Ac cepting the Universe,” the last book published before his death, he said: “I’m sitting amid the nestle of green leaves and singing birds, and thinking of all the things in the universe for which I am thankful, and you are among them.” “If I write up ‘Winter ing in Georgia’ I shall put you in among the song-birds.” In the out-of- doors world he lived, and the habits of animals,, birds and the wonderful miracles of nature were life itself to him. 'Nearly all of Loveman's poems re ceived some worthy comment from his friend, Burroughs, but it was his “Gates of Silence” that seemed to sink deepest into’ his tender heart and furnish thought for his active mind. Of the little volume he wrote: “No book of poems has come to me for many years that has moved me as has your ‘Gates of Silence.’ I have re-read it six times, and each time with new To the left at the top, the late John Burroughs and G.

From his personal let ters we can get unusual little glimpses into the life of the “good, gray natural ist.” Burroughs was indeed an inter- pretator of nature, a man of many in terests and strong devotion. The mem ory of the quiet life he lived among the" Catskills, from babyhood to eighty- four, will ever be dear to us, apd some of us will envy the temperament that brought such contentment; the knowl edge that kept him atune with nature; the love that made the birds and flow ers his close companions.

There was none of the pagan grief that marks so many funerals, even in Christian lands, for the spirit of the departed John Bur roughs seemed to permeate the very atmosphere; through the open win dows came the sunbeams, bluebirds sang in the apple trees just outside, and the voice of the phoebe—one of the birds Burroughs loved best—joined in the music at the services.
