Naturally he was the target for the
abuse of the slave -owners and suffer-
ed personal ill -usage at their hands.
Four years later he removed his home
to Amesbury, Mass., where tended
fbr a time by the love of relatives he
wrote most of his poems, The Civil
War and Lincoln's abolition of slav-
ery anouneement in the midst of it
put an end to , his spirited, often
acrid writings in favor of the slaves
and it was after 1866. that most of
his finest works, and those which are
esteemed to -day, were written. His
last few years were 'spent alone and
were greatly devoted to quiet medita-
tion. He died in 1892, at a remark-
ably old age considering thedelicacy
of his constitution, enfeebled he al-
ways maintained by the stupid hard-
ening procss, which his people and
their neighbors practiced, to give
strengthto his body.
The beautiful tune Diadeuia was
written by that master of harmonies
Sir Joseph Barnby, one of our most
renowned organists, composers' ,and
orchestral conductors, who gave ' us
the sprightly tune "LaudesDomiui"
for. "When morning gilds the skies,"
"Cloisters" to "Lord of our life and
God of our salvation," "The Goo,d
Fight" to "We March, we march to.
victory," "Requiem" to "Sleep thy
last sleep," "0 Perfect Love," "Holy.
Trinity, and scores of others equally
well known. "Diadems" fits Whitt-
ier's hymn for which it was written,
veryperfectly, and was written six
or seven years before the composer's
death in 1866 at the lamentably
early age of fifty-eight years,
